November second was a fine day for rifle shooting. On that saturday, troop one Katonah traveled to Durland scout reservation, an area that scouts attend to the Order of the Arrow Ordeal. Once arriving, the scouts and adults consulted staff at Durland and set up for shooting. The attendants were both Jack and Chris Kristensen, Thor and Tom Adamec, Robert Baur and his father Tom, Sean Bacon, and Elias and Robert Chaiken. After shooting a multitude of targets, the group then decided to initiate a competition of who had the best shot. Keeping score and raising the total points needed to go on, everyone shot very well but the one man who defeated all the others was none other than Chris Kristensen himself. After the competition was won, the group shot recreationally once again for another hour or so, the group packed up with assistance from the staff and left for either home or the elementary school.
