Even though it was a little soggy from rain the day before we were blessed with no rain for the match.
We shoot 6 stages with three squads totaling 25 shooters. On stage 3 we use the new MGM cardboard pop up target for the first time. This target tested the reaction time for our shooters as the target disappeared after a few brief seconds once it was triggered by the shooter hitting a pepper popper.
