First off I would like to thank the 30 member range crew we had this year to help pull off another great Nor Cal Tactical Bolt Rifle Challenge.
Shawn, Sam, and Jason kept things flowing smoothly and safely on the steel range.
This year we had 12 spotters on line to ensure we catch every hit and miss possible. Thank you guys for being behind glass for two days. Score keepers on each range ensure we record the numbers correctly.
The 1K range was lead by Joe and Rod on the firing line while Jacob and the pit crew ensure great pit service for all of our shooters.
Score keepers with one of the most difficult jobs did a great. We had a few minor scoring issues (mostly math related or data entry related) that were fixed to ensure the standings were righteous.
Special thanks goes to Jimmmmmmy C. with our club for building a kick ass moving target system. The system worked without a hitch throughout the weekend.
Thank you Don S. for letting us use your trailer as our office for the weekend.
Thank you to our military shooters for their service to our fine country. The guys had a great time and I hope to have them back next year.
Thank you to all of the shooters that put out the effort, time and resources to make this event. It was great to see old faces and meet new ones throughout the weekend.
Last but not least, our sponsors. They put over 30K MSRP worth of prizes on the table this year.
