The previous week I added Jeff's score ten points short but what happened last week I got it right this time. John is still shooting left handed as he can't see the target with his right eye at any range, but he is getting treatment for his eye. Our next shoot is at 10am Sunday, December 1 and will be at target yet to be selected. All attendances have now been sent into the state branch and if you don't have enough, they will send you a reminder either by mail or email if you have supplied them with yours.
