We'd like to welcome Connections and Kani O Ka Aina Charter Schools as they are participating in their first year. This is also Kau's 2^nd year participating. Kealakehe returns after a hiatus from competition (from what I was told, they were one of the original schools to compete in BIIF Air Riflery). Hats off to all the competitors and coaches for helping make the sport of Air Riflery grow in the BIIF!!!

Our next match will be on Saturday, September 23rd, 9am, at Kamehameha Schools Hawai'i's Koai'a Gym.

*For those who are wondering what the number is following the score of each shooter............in Air Riflery it is known as the "inner ten". The "inner ten" or the “10 ring” on an air rifle target is .5mm, literally the size of a typed period. Imagine looking or aiming at that from 10 meters away
