Our next shoot is at 1pm Sunday, July 14 and will be ordinary targets at both ranges. We tried the new electronic recording attendances again on the weekend and after the information is entered it was a simple as a tap and go card as the info does not have to be entered again.

Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks. It does use up a lot of paper in the form of a5 paper, which is a sheer waste.
