Before rifle, the winds picked up and autumn leaves swirled in multiple patterns, up, down, left, right all the way to the 100 yd targets. Then the clouds broke up, almost. Bright sunlight behind small clouds in a stiff breeze cast shadows racing across the berms making a light show like opening of the movie Fantasia. In spite of the light and wind conditions, most shooters beat or equaled their previous match aggregate. ------------------------------------------------------------------- BLACK POWDER CARTRIDGE
