February 25-26, 2023, the 2023 Louisiana Indoor Air Rifle Silhouette Regional will be hosted at Team Hatch Shooting Facility in Jonesboro, LA.

We're excited to announce the 2023 Chicken Coop Shoot! It’s a great time for fellowship and weather (wind lol) 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.

Entry fees are a flat $75.

Registration can be sent to:

Vickie Hatch
365 Swanner Watts rd
Jonesboro, LA 71251

Please see the attached file for the registration form.

Online payment can be sent via Paypal (friends and family method) to garinhatch@gmail.com or to $GarinHatch on Square Cash or to @GarinHatch on Venmo. Please email your registration to garinhatch@gmail.com.

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.

The address keeps wandering around on Google Maps so here are the coordinates: 32°15'41.7"N 92°35'26.9"W

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, Deluxe Lodges, 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.

There have been some new cabins built that are a much closer to the range. I don't know anything about price, but I know they exist and are open. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100077307791329

I'm excited to get the new year off to a great start with one of my favorite matches!

My wife and I are both planning on being there!

Good to hear thauglor !!! We will do our best that you won’t regret the trip. If y’all can, come anytime on that Friday the 24th. Generally around 12 to 15 show up starting that morning with a lot of shooting going on till after dark. The Coop is well lit inside.
I’ll have a grill or two there, with charcoal, for those that bring sausage and such to eat for that day.
We serve lunch on Saturday.
Y’all all come !!!

I've got a Target rifle (Anschutz 2002 SSP) and an Open rifle (Air Arms HFT-500) you can borrow, all ready to go with 24X scopes.

I'm all out of air in my air tank so you would have to mooch some air from other folks, but I'm happy to offer either if you're interested. Pellets included!

Pat has me hooked up with a RWS 75 that has been around the block a time or 10…

Thanks!
