And a big thank you to all of the many volunteers of the Kane Fish and Game Club for all the many hours of hard work you each put forth to run such a great Pennsylvania State Championship BR match!

Lastly, a big thanks to all of the shooters whom attended this annual Pennsylvania State Championship match as well!
