Well, we got real lucky this year! We had a little rain on Sunday at the Peconic SAFS during the live fire segment, but overall the weather for both weekends was excellent. This year we had a paid attendance of 100 at Camp Smith and 75 at Peconic River. Attendance was down a little, but still a solid crowd.
On Sunday at Camp Smith we ran 21 firing points for four relays and had 15 points running at Peconic, with our usual one-to-one coaching on the line. Many thanks to our great volunteers who every year give unselfishly of themselves to insure out continued success!
Now as we move on to the competitive shooting season the age old question returns, "How many of these participants will come back as new competitors?" Compared to feedback from prior years, we are hearing more say they are interested, and more are showing up with their own gear, but only time will tell. On Long Island participants were offered free entry to matches at the Long Island Highpower League for this season and at both mentoring was offered as well. We are trying to make it easy for the new competitor to get started.
In the meantime, please take moment to check out pictures from this year's events at NYHighpower.com.
