Big turnout at the 600 yard IBS-style club paper shoot today. We practiced "social distancing" on the line by only using every-other bench and keeping people apart. If shooters got close, my 33 years of teaching taught me how to us a PA system and "scold" in a socially acceptable manner.

The competition was keen and the fun was universal. We had been cooped up too long so the huge double- relay crowd was quite satisfying to see with benches filled.
One of our people walked away with the results sheet so I am doing this out of memory. Smallest group prize was for a 1.1" 50 with 4 x's that I shot.

Sorry for being so "ugly". Don't tell Alex I used a Krieger barrel in 6 BRA on a rifle I rarely use. Pure luck.
Following that group were two fine 1.6" ones done by both Richard McNamara and Jerry Jarrett. Jerry took the second place by something like .003".
Al Kelly came close to the perfect "Closest To the X". Look at the picture and see. Tom Anderson was super close with two shots on the "X" that covered it from both sides. Tightest shooting on the "X" we ever saw with others hitting it also.

When it comes to the highest four-target score, both Mark Niezabitowski and I tied with fine scores of 195 points out of 200. Mark had 3 "X"s while I ended up with 7 to take another first place. We both had twin-50's during the shoot.
Many showed up to see our fun. It was kind of like being 'crowded apart'. Some wore masks, Dale Fields had a hand sanitizing station in the back of his truck and even the Richard Prince target crew followed distance recommendations. Big John wanted to punish us with his "Punisher' shirt. Well at least he looked good from the back.

If your club is open you can do a shoot and keep the shooters apart. It takes some planning using multiple relays, every-other benches, keeping shooters apart at set-up and while not shooting in their relay. Then you have to deal with getting out the completed targets and doing the awards. It takes some effort but this is how we do it at Manatee in south Florida.
