Super Bowl weekend is over, and I hope you enjoyed that halftime show. Not a lot going on in NC as far as registered shoots go. Buckhorn shoots the 23rd and that is about it.
Spartanburg shot last weekend, and Brady Cox won the singles, handicap (27yd), doubles and the HOA with a 287. 40/20/29 shot and that is a great turnout for February in South Carolina. Isabella Ricci was runner-up in the HOA with a 270 and that is some great shooting. Spartanburg shoots the first Saturday each month so put that on your calendar. Hopefully the SC State shoot will return to the Spartanburg Gun Club in the near future.
