1500 match from 50 yards

Open Class Revolver 1500 Match

The Open Class Revolver 1500 match is moving around on the range. I made it out in time to get some photos from the furthest point this match goes, the 50 yard line. Shooters go from standing to prone to sitting.

Most of the stalls are full, but my lens isn't wide enough to capture everyone.

The firing line at the Open Class Revolver 1500 Match

A referee who goes by "Swampy" escorted me up to the firing line so I could get some close-ups. I always laugh when competitors introduce themselves to me and say, "You took my picture out on the line." I usually don't remember or recognize competitors unless they're wearing a memorable shirt.

Update on the "God made cops so firemen would have heroes" shirts: Chief says a booth in Building B might be selling them.
