Text Box: Welcome Shooters, 

	On behalf of FNH USA, their employees and Team FNH USA we would like to thank you for your attendance to this year’s event.

	Please also take a moment to thank all the sponsors who have contributed to the prize table valued at over $200,000. Remember when making your next purchase, support those who support you.

	Let us also pause this weekend to remember the brave soldiers who fought during the Civil War. The war between the states took a toll on the nation as a whole. Nowhere in history can you find a conflict that affected so many people. The Shenandoah Valley is rich in history of the Civil War from the first battle at Manassas to the last major battle of the war at Cedar Creek just south of Middletown, Virginia. This weekend we honor the memories of all those citizen soldiers who sacrificed so much for their cause. 

	I am excited about the stages for this year’s match. I believe they will test every aspect of your shooting. Each stage has its own unique shooting challenge. Please take a moment to thank the staff on each stage. They are out this weekend working hard so that you can enjoy your shooting experience.
