We want to send as manypeople as possible home with something, and Bergerprovides the awards for the winners of the match.We also know that most of the top shooters alreadyhave top level equipment, so whilst this is a randomprize drawing, we focus the first prizes towardsnewer shooters who are less likely to have the bestequipment. We have to give a very big thank you toNightforce, Sierra, Lapua, Krieger, Redding and all theothers who send donations for our shooters!Sunday was the final day of shooting, with three 20-shot matches at 1000 yards, followed by an awardsceremony for the winners.
