Tidewater Region

The Tidewater Region is excited to be back to a full skirmishing season. Although the first skirmish of the year hosted by the Dismal Swamp Rangers was more like a four season skirmish. It started with nice warm weather, and then rained, sleeted, snowed and gusty winds cancelling the events on Saturday. Frigid temperatures freezing everything by Sunday morning but the smoothbore match began early Sunday morning with a balmy temperature of 19 degrees. No matter what Mother Nature threw at us, we were all just very glad to be there and share time together.

Our second shoot of the year hosted by Southampton Greys, was a bit warmer and all events on schedule. Though the temperatures were a bit warmer, the parking lot was more like attending a mud-bogging event. A few stuck campers and vehicles, some towing straps may have been involved but overall a happy crowd of skirmishers.

The third shoot hosted by Tucker’s Naval Brigade, brought a good crowd. Tomlin’s famous BBQ dinner was a delight for everyone. No matter where you were that day, the smells from the BBQ pit had you anticipating a great dinner. Good shooting, a silent auction, raffle, and lots of friendly competition. What more could you ask for in skirmishing?
