UPDATE July 7: There are many more people on the waiting list than we will be able to accommodate. Working on a repeat date for this event for those who cannot be included on this date. Meanwhile, if you have a "YES" and you're already a veteran night shooter or know you can't make it, please give up your space to your fellow member(s). Thanks.
