Title: Biggest turnout in a long time
Post by: rich pierce on August 03, 2020, 03:02:49 PM: Yesterday at our monthly match we had 34 shooters, I think. We used to average around 18. We are welcoming new members more regularly. Our new secretary has been a real difference-maker. Facebook, Instagram, website are always busy with muzzle-loading posts, not just club news. Only trouble is, some real good shooters are showing up!
