2017 Louisiana Indoor Air Rifle Silhouette Regional "Chicken Coop Shoot"

[Doodaddy]

We're excited to announce the 2017 Chicken Coop Shoot! This is a match that has been shockingly successful and we’re hopeful to continue as such. It’s a great time for fellowship and weather free shooting!

Any and all suggestions are welcome so please do not hesitate to provide feedback. We want this to be a community loved event. There are pictures of the range and previous matches at the website: http://www.teamhatchshootingfacility.com/gallery/.

Just like previous years, for those that do not attend the match I will be providing real time results on the range's site.

On February 11-12, 2017, the 2017 Louisiana Indoor Air Rifle Silhouette Regional will be hosted at Team Hatch Shooting Facility in Jonesboro, LA.

A two day tournament (NRA Registered event) with an 80 shot match for each rifle. Target and Open will be shot Saturday February 11 with Sporter on Sunday February 12. Practice will be available Friday evening February 10, 2017. Resettable targets will be utilized for this tournament. Lunch will be served on Saturday and Sunday.

Entry fees will be $25 for the first rifle, $25 for the second, & $15 for the third rifle.

Registration can be sent to:

Danny Hatch
365 Swanner Watts rd
Jonesboro, LA 71251

Please see the attached file for the registration form.

The range is sort of remotely located, but it is central to Little Rock to Baton Rouge and Dallas to Jackson. Just south of I-20. ~30 miles from Ruston, LA & ~37 miles from West Monroe, LA.

For lodging, I believe that the Jimmie Davis State Park is probably the best option. It's located very near the range (5-8 miles) and is on Caney Lake. The park offers a variety of lodging options (Deluxe Cabins $120/night, Deluxe Lodges $160/night, and Traditional Camp sites.) Deluxe Cabins sleep up to 8 people with 1 queen bed, 2 bunk beds and 1 queen sofa sleeper and the Deluxe Lodges sleep up to 14 people with 2 double beds, 4 bunk beds and 1 queen sofa sleeper. This has been spoken very highly of from several shooters. If some coordination can be made between a group of shooters, lodging can be very inexpensive.

Cant wait! I love this match. I have to get my Target Rifle fixed...

[Ken Green]

Dustin: don't wait too long to get that rifle fixed. It will be here before you know it.

[acorneau]

Looking forward to joining in the fun this year.

[Doodaddy]

This will actually be my first year shooting in this match. I got tired of watching.

[Ken Green]

It sure took you long enough to decide that.

It sure took you long enough to decide that.

I would much rather the match run well than me pull a trigger so I sat out. Watching the match and the shooters, ensuring everything was going the way we wanted was all I did our first two years, but I've got the scoring system streamlined enough that I'm comfortable leaving it for a relay.

So I bought a nice SSP not long after the match last year and am hoping to do decently!

Hmmm. Shoot AZ cowboy state match in 30+ mph gusting wind or hang out in a chicken coop? Decisions decisions

If only I had THE air rifles. Can a guy be competitive with a FW 124 and Anschutz 2002CA?

I'm no expert, but I can't see why either of those rifles could be holding you back. This crowd seems to be the most encouraging I've encountered and someone will put a rifle in your hand if you decide yours aren't what you need. Show up and shoot!!

[Ken Green]

Edgehit: Show up with both rifles and shoot em.
The only thing to hold you back is yourself.
Now go get some pellets and send them down range.

I need to get a scope for my Sporter gun. Looking forward to the match.

[dhatch]

Allen and Ken, this will be your first visit. Our goal is that you do not regret it at all and for sure it won't be your last visit. Ya'll come!

[acorneau]

I need to get my registration in (and my TX200 fixed!) but I've heard great things about this match so I'm looking forward to joining in the fun.

[Ken Green]

Hi everyone: I have reserved and paid for cabin # 6 at the Jimmie Davis State Park. If anyone needs a place to stay, please email me with your phone number and I will call you back. There are 4 bunk beds and the pull out sofa bed available. I am sure we can also make room on the floor if needed. The cost will be evenly split between everyone.

I will even offer to cook a meal on Friday night if everyone is willing to split the cost for the food. Thanks Ken

Hey Everyone that hasn't been to this match, remember that at the first sign of having trouble finding us, call my cell at 318-607-5034, my home number is 318-259-8729 and I will come get you.
Ken, do you think that you will be arriving early enough Friday to get in some trigger time? I hope.
