Jim Hinkle, smallbore prone competition program director,
encourages anyone with access to old smallbore equipment from high school
or college to dust it off and come out and join the growing group of fine
folks who are enjoying the fun, challenges, and traditions of this great
shooting discipline. To accommodate newcomers to the sport, Hinkle and David
Dye are considering a series of smallbore prone clinics in conjunction with
the monthly matches. |
