Have to mention that Team ENGC did awesome at the first ever Nebraska State Steel Challenge match in Grand Island yesterday. (There isn't really a Team ENGC, but 6 of us who normally shoot at ENGC drove down for the match.)
Collectively, those 6 people ended up with
14 medals. John Victor was the Grand High Poobah of Medal-Winning, with 4. (I only got one, which made me the guy who got the least.)
Out of the six divisions that had at least three people in them, ENGC folks won 1st place in
four of them---and if we count the number of 1st through 3rd places, ENGC folks won
10 out of the 18 possible gold, silver, and bronze medals. (The other medals that ENGC folks won were category medals, like Centerfire Lady's Champion or champion in the Senior category.)
The squad I was on went through all eight stages of the Steel Challenge in about 3 hours and 10 minutes. So---it was a FAST morning, with a lot of shooting.
(And one of the worst Smoke and Hope runs I've done in a couple of years. It is a bad sign when you hear people laughing behind you when you are in the middle of a run...)
ETA:
If you put all the centerfire divisions together (Open, Production, Iron Sight Pistol, etc), the five ENGC folks shooting Centerfire were all in the top ten for Centerfire divisions combined (including taking the top three spots).
