Mid Range matches at Cheyenne Wyoming

[40-65rl]

In addition to this match there will be an all 600 match on September 22, 2024. Target shooting is not dead in Cheyenne and the pits and range is as good as any range, but to continue it would be nice to have a few folks come out and support Jeff's efforts. Nuff said.
