Side Match on Saturday

We're also thinking of a side match on Saturday after the main event. Five shots for score on Homer at 1000 yards. It will be the standard 7 minutes 30 seconds with unlimited sighters but you must complete your five shots for score in the allotted time.
Winner will get unlimited bragging rights and a hot dog or hamburger prepared by yours truly. (In the event of a tie - I'll cut it in half.)
Club Improvements

If you haven't been to Ridgway in a while there have been many improvements made at the club starting with the road in. It's now paved and low branches have been removed for RV access.

The stones on the firing line have been replaced with compacted stone dust. Cross stick go in nice and easy and hold well. The firing line has been lengthened and leveled, and drainage has been added.

Camping and Lodging
The field near the club house has been replaced with a large crushed stone parking lot. There are still grassy spots for tent campers around the edges. Limited electrical hook ups are available - bring a long cord.
