January Match Report
The January Mid-Range match, first match of 2018, was fantastic. Thank you to all the shooters who attended the match. The match had a solid turnout and ended with 13 shooters, 8 of which were Palmetto Gun Club members, and two new to PGC shooters. The sun was out and the wind was not too bad, however, the temperate was Chilly. As the sun climbed higher, the temperature and the scores went up. It was overall a great day of shooting!

First: Chris Farmer with a score of 580 17X
Second: Peter Nistad with a score of 578 183X
Third: Henry Neale with a score of 571 11X
