On Sunday 21 shooters competed in the local 50y rimfire group event in mild conditions. Masters class was hotly contended and even Carlo’s 0.127” on the D target (yes that is five shots measuring roughly ¹/₈ of an inch centre to centre) was not enough to hold off the challenge by daughter Maddi who finished with an agg of 0.2674”.
