Monthly Meet – June 22nd, 2024 – Independence Day themed targets

Independence Day

Last month we suffered through a rain storm of epic proportions and did not get our shoot finished dang it. First one ever for us in our history. But summer is here and our Independence day celebration is almost upon us.

So we will be starting the registration sign in at 8:30am on Saturday June 22nd and start the course of fire description and safety briefing with the goal of starting the shoot by 9:00am. We are having two shooting categories, off hand and bench to compete in classifications for fairness. We do not want to exclude anyone who wants to shoot with us but we will not compete against centerfire or scopes to be fair for example.

We will be shooting two relays, 10 shots each, patch and roundball, any caliber in these two shooting classifications off hand and bench.

First Relay:
10 shots at 50 yards, we will have a new colorful fourth of July themed target. Pretty good size bullseye and with the added colors maybe easier to see for some folks.

Second Relay:
10 shots at 25 yards, of course to celebrate independence we all have to have some type of beverage so we are going to bust up the empties with a bottle shooting relay.

Both relays will be added together for placement within your appropriate shooting category off hand or benchrest.

First shot determines your scoring category. No changing your mind after first shot. So pick either supported or offhand.

20 shots total. Patch and roundball.

Our third Relay:
With our successful pistol match we will be having a monthly match independent of the rifle match. Participation is voluntary if you have a pistol and want to shoot it for score. 5 shots, 25 yards big bull target. So bring your pistols for added chances to bring home the meat so to speak.

MEMBERS: Remember that we will have a Trade Blanket at all monthly meets starting in 2024. Bring any items you would like to sell, trade or barter. The items can be anything – Old, New, Blades, Period Clothing, and all manner of supplies.

Guests are always welcome who just want to watch, learn and meet folks.  Bring a chair and we got two picnic tables to sit at as well. Shooters under 18 years of age may participate for free.
