The trip out to Arizona was less then encouraging … record low temperatures, impassable back roads and the idea of sleeping in my SUV for the week were just a few of the obstacles. But it got better. …

This was my fourth year attending the matches at Camp Perry and my appreciation of the skill every shooter exhibits only grows each time. Featuring such a wide range of ages, every shooter is enthusiastic about their sport and it makes for such a great environment to…
