Thanks for the kind words, Don. It's the full support of Wheaton Rifle Club that makes this work year after year.
Looking forward to this Friday, as it will be MY only chance to practice for this thing! :^)

Anyone still interested in this match: there's a little room left on Friday night, Saturday 1 pm is unavailable, all other relays are open.
