The Gemmer club did quite well today at the Lock and Hammer Black Powder Match in Bloomsdale, MO at the Dew Drop Inn. This is a board match shot from the bench at 30 yards. There are 3 practice shots to begin with and then 6 scoring shots over an X cut into a board. Members of the Bloomsdale fire department run the event. Today we had 39 shooters with each of the 6 shots scoring individually, for a total of 234 shots.
The top shots win meat and here are the winning shots:
