Double-Action Revolver Match Scores October 17, 2020

The October MSI Revolver Match saw twelve shooters for the main match, including several first-time participants and our first lady shooter, Beth Sanders.  This month’s match included one stage with smaller, more challenging targets and the increased level of difficulty was reflected in the scores.  Missed target penalties add up quickly.  Only one shooter made it through the course with no misses, new-comer Beth Sanders.  Had it not been for a series of ammo glitches, she would have scored very well.
We had eight shooters for the half-match (3 Stages) following the main match, including another first time, lady shooter, Gwen Maciel.  Our next match will be on November 21st.  Hope to see you all there.
