The inaugural 22 Challenge match was on a beautiful, if occasionally gusty July day in the low 80s (!). We ran a little over on time learning how to set it up and run it for the first time, but everyone had a good time with this very different format. Everyone went home with something to work on to improve for next time for sure!

Thanks to everyone who came out today for our experiment. Scores are linked to the left. Congratulations to target and overall winner Ashley with a 80 (out of a possible 100), and to Dan Nosbusch with a 57 to win tactical division. Shooting from awkward positions instead of the bench makes it even more challenging.

We ended up running 3 squads today, at 10:25. 12:05, and 2:10 with a total of 13 shooters completing the match.

THANK YOU to everyone that helped with setup and teardown. None of the matches would be possible for me to do alone, and especially not this one.
