Our proud National BB Match Winner - 4th Place!!

 

The 101st National recreated the original skirmish between the Washington Blue Rifles and the 1st Virginia Infantry. 

At the original Skirmish the Confederates won, now 50 years later, the Blues avenge that mistake.  The combined total

skirmish experience represented by the two teams exceeded 300 years!!

As the Blues finished their targets handily the Commander yelled "Go left!"

And the Yankees quickly finished the Rebel targets for them.
