Well the Palmetto Sharpshooters had a ball at Fall Nationals. We finished 5th in Smoothbore and had good showings in Carbine and Musket. Got skunked in Artillery but the Rifled Howitzer class can be extremely competitive. Two flyers put us dead last.

This is the first Nationals we've flown our colors properly. It's a full size 4th Bunting Confederate Battle Flag with authentic Palmetto Sharpshooters marking.
Our new flag in the breeze with 1st Sgt Miller, Pvt Kelly, and Sgt Spradlin. We were feeling pretty good about ourselves after the pigeon board. Then the wind really started to kick up on the part of the line where we were on Position 58 and by the 100yd event, the targets were dancing and about all you could do was chuck a round into the middle and hope to hit something.
Part of Co A blasting the pigeon board into iddy biddy pieces.
Opening ceremonies looking down toward Position 1 off in the distance. The large tower you can see on the firing line is the main control tower. There are 3 more auxiliary towers for range control.
