The Winchester Canyon Gun Club, Santa Barbara, California, hosted its 1st CMP meet on October 23rd. The meet was held at the club's 100-yard outdoor rifle range from 9am to noon under sunny skies. Attending were five youth and seven adults.
The meeting opened with the flag salute and introductions, followed by a few words of wisdom. The day's events consisted of a review of gun handling and safety, the range's ground rules, target set up, and plenty of individualized instruction on .22 caliber marksmanship.
Targets were stationed at both the 25 and 50 yard berms. Youngsters were instructed on three positions (Standing, Prone, and Kneeling). Results were recognized and shooters paired with spotters who called the shots, allowing the shooters the chance for continuous improvement on the range.
A fun time was had by all. Members then remarked when they'd host the next meet in January '05. The Winchester Canyon Gun Club is a sportsman's club which was founded nearly a half century ago and is committed to the promotion of the shooting sports.
