So windy that we couldn’t put string on the balloons, we had to staple them to a board and they were blowing over and breaking before we could get back to shoot at them. We had to have a shoot off for first and second place. We had almost as many balloons fly off as we shot at. In the end Paul left me two shakey, skinny balloons to shoot at, next time I get the fat ones(just kidding). Bill New England shooters Saturday July 18^th a shoot competition was held at our range.
