This rally was a blast! Literally...I hosted a shooting rally for the 4th of July at the Cardinal Center range and campground:

We did pistols, shotguns and archery. The archery was compliments of Airstreamers Karen & Dorrie who teach it. Everyone had a great time! The schedule was loose but we basically did a group breakfast every day at 8 - 10 with camp chefs John & Tom doing most of the cooking. Breakfast was generally followed by handgun shooting from 10 am - 12 noon followed by lunch and then either archery or shotguns/trap. It was an action packed rally and evening down time around the campfire was welcomed by all at the end of each day. I will be updating this with more photos soon.
We'll start off the pictures with John cooking breakfast for everyone!
Now let's go to the pistol range...
