Capital City is an outdoor range and it was 50 yards. Dusty, they start late in the afternoon at 5PM so there was light up until 8:30. Don't know when they finished but I wouldn't consider it a night shoot.

Lots of great shooters in Maine. Those inclined to think about prone shooting, be it F Class, FTR or sling, out to think about the Northeast Regional Matches to be held at the fantastic range at the Scarborough Fish and Game Club Oct. 5-7. I think a match program and entry form can be found at scarfg.org.

Actually, the first IR50/50 250-25X shot outdoors was done by Bill Pippin.

Stephane Gomel from France shot a 250 25X at the Worlds in Spain just recently.



They say that number 13 plugged an X.
