Target Barn Recognizes Match Directors

Without hard working match directors, we would not have all those fun shooting matches we all enjoy. The folks over at TargetBarn.com have come up with a great idea to honor the folks that give so much to the shooting sports.

The Target Barn team knows and appreciates the hard work and time match directors dedicate to their clubs and ranges, and we want to reward those who exemplify what it means to be a part of the shooting community.

We're giving away more than $5,000 in prizes, including a $2,000 check to the winning match director and a Target Barn prize package valued at $1,000 to his or her home shooting range/club. We're taking nominations through April 23rd, then a pool of finalists will be made available for the shooting community to vote on.

If you know a match director that goes above and beyond for your local shooting community, you can nominate them and find more information at  www.targetbarn.com/match-directors.

We'll announce the finalists on April 26th and voting will then begin.

Please nominate any match directors you feel deserve the recognition. 

There's only a few days to get your nominations in. I'm working on my submissions now.

WaPo Photo Caption Contest

This should be very interesting.

The Washington Post is holding a photo caption contest. As you can see, it involves beer and President, um, O'bama. Head over the the Washington Post page to see the entries so far, or enter your own.
