2025 Vacant Chair Memorial Skirmish – Hosted by 8th WI & 2nd WI
The Labor Day weekend once again played host to the Rhinelander Vacant Chair Memorial Skirmish over the cool, yet sunny weekend. Four units attended, resulting in a small but fun and unique shooting atmosphere. Many individual shooters competed along with mini mortar golf to compliment the traditional team shooting events. Skirmishers enjoyed a variety of bottle targeting combined with different arrangements of clay pigeons. Shooting was followed up with a complimentary chicken dinner with potluck side dishes and plenty of campfire discussions until “o dark thirty”. Results for the team shooting was as follows:
