Awesome! Wish they had these going when I lived down that way, I'd been there every month! Too far away now to make it that much but we will try to be there for your Dec. match.

Thanks for having them!

I plan on being a frequent participant in the matches. I live in Clarksville so it isn't a long drive for me.

Good luck on these matches Dave. It is a 2-3 day drive down for me but I will try to get down for one. You were a big help in NH so I know these will be well run and enjoyed by many.
Think 40!

Would anyone happen to know if the calendar and start times listed above are still current? It is a bit of a drive and I would like to double check before heading out this Saturday. I have tried PMing the OP but have not heard back. If anyone has his phone number or email please send it to me.

Thanks!

This Saturdays mini match/ test/ b.s. session has been moved to Sunday.
(Schedule conflict with some sort of profitable self defence class).

So Sunday. 12:00 noon.
I get there early. Casual practice Sunday not a real match yet.

I will post the Match Schedule for the year as soon as I get back home.

Will it be shot at the NRA distances, or is it a 50 yd fun match like they shot in the old days? I really need to test a new rifle at rams before the Benton match next month.

Thanks!
