Sandlin excels amid harsh winds at Midland shoot

Native wind gusts challenge marksmen but Sandlin remains unfazed after months of practice. He says he shoots two to three hours daily, four or five times a month, despite high costs of about $15 per day for ammunition plus registration fees. The tournament ends today at the Midland Shooters Association range located four miles east on FM 1213 and five miles south on Highway 349.
