to describe the shoot in one word, the correct answer would be "Windy"! As the Doubles began Friday Afternoon,

prevailing in the shootoff to win the event. Stasio was AA1; Ed Shifflett won B and Zachzary Maucher D Class.

A chicken
barbecue followed with Chef Jeff Andrews and a crew of volunteers providing a great meal.
