May News Letter
HIGHLIGHTS from the WEST COAST REGIONAL!
The Regional’s match director Dennis Ostler will be sending out a full wrap-up email including a link to the photos in about a week! So stay tuned.
LASC’s West Coast Regional got off to a rocky start on Saturday, as the weather was bent on not cooperating. As you can see above, it was rainy, cold and a bit windy. Shooters kept bundled up and huddled around the wood burning stove on the firing line during cease fires. In addition, several propane heaters kept them warm while shooting. On Saturday afternoon, we had to limit shooting to the right side of the range due to flooding in our bunkers. Even with all the inclement conditions and stops and starts, participants mustered on and did some great shooting. All in all, it was a solid event with a good number of shooters. Fortunately, Sunday was better, as the rain eased up but temperatures stayed well below normal.
