On Behalf of the Salisbury Gun Club, and of the Pistol Committee, I can only say that we are thrilled with the experience of pulling off our first large Pistol Match!  Thank you to all who came to compete, thank you to all who came to work and make the event run smooth, and thank you to all of our sponsors, supporters, and friends around!  The shooting sports community is truly an awesome group of people that we love to be with.

I'll save you my usual spreadsheet scoring posting, and let Practiscore speak for itself.

We had a stellar group of 52 shooters.  A staff squad of 13 shooters shot their stages on Friday Afternoon, leaving 39 shooters to compete on Saturday.  

Out of the 52, 23 of the shooters were gun club members.  We had guest shooters from Delaware, Bridgeville Rifle & Pistol Club, Pennsylvania, and even from the western shore of Maryland!  Thanks to our farthest flung shooters for visiting us on Delmarva!

The Match Director, Ben Jorden, put a TON of work into making this event happen, and we are indebted to his acumen in running such a fun and exciting event.  Thanks to his efforts, we had enough door prizes for ALL SHOOTERS!  What a treat.

When we weren't shooting the 5 stages of fire, there were two side games, a Plate Rack Race, and an El Prez Drill.  Two of our many sponsors, Patriot Firearms and Atlantic Tactical had self defense video simulators set up at the range for fun diversions.  Not to mention Shore Home Construction was onsite sharing their services.

The LWRC Rifle Raffle went off great, that was a fun draw.  We were also fortunate enough to give away two Stoeger STR-9 pistols!  

The 50/50 was won by one of our club members, and lunch was Jimmy John's!!

The day went quickly, we did stages 1 and 2 and the warmup in only 2.5 hours, right on time for lunch, and then the last two stages only took 90 minutes for the 39 shooters!

This event went off great and I could go on and on, but will save some more acknowledgments for later.

See you next year at June 15 2024!

Top shooters for the day were Charlie Jones with 90/100 and Tom Morris with 89/100.
