Action Pistol Shooting 6/26 CANCELED!

I’ve debated all day about this, but I’m going to go ahead and cancel tonight’s Action Pistol shoot.

Depending on which weather source you look at it’s a 50% – 90% chance of severe thunderstorms with heavy down pours and hail starting around the same time we start shooting. I don’t want to set everything up just to abandon it if we all have to go running for cover.

Sorry about that. Please pass on the word to anyone you know who may have been planning on shooting tonight, as they may not have gotten notified any other way, and I hate for someone to drive all the way out to the range to find out we’re not shooting.
