2025-05-14 09:00 - 12:30 (America/New_York) | Pickens County Sportsmans Club, 739 Old Jones Mtn Rd, Talking Rock, GA, 39175, United States
Our shoots normally occur on the 4th weekend of each month. This year the 4th weekend is Memorial Day so the Program Committee had decided to delay the shoot and move it to May 31 the following weekend. This change is so all of us can be with family and friends for graduations and remembrance of those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

Thank you all for participating with us in our monthly shoots. We look forward to seeing everyone on the 31st with our shoot starting at about 9:00am. Gates open for sign in, set up and chit chat about 8:00am.

Participation Fee: If you are …

Lead on Paper – Axe on Log
The Tomahawk or Axe throw is not yet a scoring event, but it’s there for you if you want to practice and blow off some steam and have fun honing your throwing skills.
We’ll be using the NMLRA 6 bull target at 25 yards, and the NMLRA 3 bull target at 50 yards.

The Tomahawk, Axe, Hatchet, Knife throw activity is picking up a lot of participation. Right now, this is strictly recreational and not competitive. Burn off some pent up energy and join in. If you don’t have your own weapons, you can borrow Chris Greene’s t’hawks.

We have a Trade Table at all monthly meets. 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.

Monthly Meet - July 26, 2025 - Blanket Prize
2025-07-26 08:00 - 12:00 | Pickens County Sportsmans Club, 739 Old Jones Mtn Rd, Talking Rock, GA, 39175, United States
Blanket Prize Meet

Bring a Blanket Prize as your entry fee!
We are having two shooting categories, off hand as it is known as 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. Bench rest, shooting sticks, cover support pole, kneeling, sitting, prone et all shooting group. We will be shooting two relays, 10 shots each, patch and roundball, any caliber in these two shooting classifications off hand and supported. The classifications will not compete against each other but just bragging rights.
First Relay:
10 shots at 50 yards, we will have our clay pigeon setup and could add some new steel animals to knock down. Zero for a miss and 10 points for hitting the pigeon or steel knockdown.
Second Relay:
10 shots at 25 yards, five squirrel two shots each for score and remember it is a tough little bugger of a target so be ready to aim small miss small. They have a bullseye on them, small, we will be using to score so not so many ties we hope when it comes to the blanket prize selection process.
Both relays will be added together for placement within your appropriate shooting category off hand or bench-rest. Then we go to the prize blanket so you can choose your winnings based on finish and you choose what looks good to you.
First shot determines your scoring category. No changing your mind after first shot. So pick either bench or offhand.
So shooting safety talk start time: 8:00am, goal is done by noon so we can all enjoy time with our families this weekend and get out of the heat.
20 shots total,
Patch and roundball.
We Might have a 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. This will be a separate match from the rifle and have its own prizes.
