The 2023 Summer High Power season got off to a good start on Saturday, April 8th.\u00a0 Fourteen shooters, all five Juniors, came out of a bright but brisk day to see if equipment and bodies were ready for the upcoming season.\u00a0 Since there were questions about both bodies and equipment, we shot this match as a Club match; scores were not sent to either the CMP or to the NRA.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We took all the time we needed and there were a lot of sighter shots as folks warmed up.\u00a0 On the equipment side, there were no major failures, but we did hear \u201cI forgot my sling, does anyone have any extra earplugs, my tablet died\u201d and the eternal \u201cI forgot how to get into the server.\u201d\u00a0 As for body issues, the most common comment was; \u201cGroan … I\u2019m getting too old for this stuff\u201d.\u00a0 It was the usual set of high power complaints, nothing especially new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
