The 2023 Illinois State Championship is in the books. We were at 149 shooters before attrition took it’s toll in the three days leading up to the match. We started the match with 142 shooters. All scores have been posted to the Scores page of our website.
It was a beautiful weekend, bordering on warm, with Sunday bordering on the hot and sultry. Fortunately, we shot 6 stages on Saturday and, while warm, the day was still reasonably tolerable. This also means we only had 4 stages on Sunday to shoot so we got to the air-conditioned community center for the awards banquet about Noon.
We’ll have an update on the new State and Club Record Holders soon.
Congratulations to
