Check out the latest results from Match #2!😁👇

Match 2 brought a mix of sunny skies and cool temps. While the conditions appeared just breezy, the winds proved to be sneaky - pushing groups out to the 10-30” range. Many shooters had the opportunity to use the WHOLE target!

With deep sadness, we have learned of the passing of Gordy’s longtime companion, Linda. Our thoughts and prayers are with Gordy and his family during this difficult time. At the family’s request, we are sharing her obituary below.

Linda Perry Anderson passed away at home on May 5th after a lengthy illness.
Linda was an avid reader, a gardener, birdwatcher, and cook; and a long-time member of the Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes.
Growing up in Wilmington, DE, she attended George Gray and Harlan Elementary Schools, followed by P.S. DuPont High School. After graduating from the University of Delaware, she worked for the Delaware Nature Education Center, the PPL Montour Environmental Education Center, and the Pennsylvania Game Commission.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Capt. James A. and Bessie J. Perry, and by her husband, Professor Wayne P. Anderson of Bloomsburg University. She is survived by her long-time companion, Gordon C. Bitler; her son, Michael Dowd of Murfreesboro, TN, his wife Fiona and daughter Róisín; and her sister, Paula Perry.
Linda's family would like to extend their gratitude to the staff of Gentiva Hospice and the staff of Nan's Girls for their wonderful care.
Funeral arrangements will be handled by Roat-Kriner Funeral Home (1133 Bloom Rd, Danville, PA 17821). In lieu of flowers please donate to a charity of your choice, or to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (Philip Merrill Environmental Center, 6 Herndon Avenue, Annapolis, MD 21403).
