I'm finally back from Friendship. I shot with the first group that went through on Sunday, of 4 people. Two stragglers showed up maybe an hour later; let's assume they live in the central time zone. I can't speak for the group of two, but the first four, as I recall, scored from a low of 6 (me) up to 11. Barry shot a smoothbore as always, and knocked out an 8. That included two long shots beyond 60 yards.
I worked the range for 2 1/2 days this week, and never heard a bad word about the re-built range, and I specifically asked folks for their criticisms. Even after some rainy weather, the course was still usable. Almost 300 people shot the course. The highest score was a 15 (out of 16) with rifle, 13 with a smoothbore, and 9 with a pistol.
Next June marks the 20th anniversary of the NMLRA Woodswalk. I'd invite any ideas about how to celebrate. We have a few ideas, but nothing is beyond the brain storming stage, and June is a long ways off. Any ideas?
