SUMMARY:Event: Monthly Meet - August 2023 - 3 Relay Match
DESCRIPTION:Late summer is here\, folks are trying to stay cool and out of the heat. Watching their gardens and flowers wilt in the sun\, drinking their sweet tea on their porches with their fans blowing as we send the kiddos back to school. So we are all kinda looking forward to fall\, leaves a changing\, garden harvesting\, canning the veggies\, making the jams and jellies and just getting a bit cooler out. Time to get off the porch\, dust off the rifles and see about getting ready for the fall shooting season. \nSo\, rain or shine\, we will be starting the Saturday\, August 26th shoot with shooters registration\, set up and sign in at 8:30am and start the course of fire description and safety briefing with the goal of starting the shoot by 9:00am. \nWe are having two shooting categories\, “off-hand” and “supported” 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. “Supported” means that you can use the bench rest\, shooting sticks\, kneeling\, sitting\, prone or any method of support. \nWe will be shooting three (3) relays this month\, two (2) with 10 shots each\, patch and roundball\, any caliber in these two shooting classifications off hand and supported for score. The classifications will not compete against each other for prizes\, just bragging rights. \nThe third relay will be a surprise team match with number of shots determined by how good your teammates shoot! \nFirst Relay for individual score – Paper Target:\n10 shots at 50 yards\, as we have shot a lot of steel as of late and folks like some variety at some distance. So by popular demand or is it just demand? It will be a paper target for score. It will be the three bull target. One bull target for practice\, the remaining two – five shots each for score. \nSecond Relay for individual score – Paper Target:\n10 shots at 25 yards\, paper as well for score. Two bullseye target – five shots each for score. \nThird Relay team score:\nSurprise team competition. Teams to be determined based on number of shooters that day. Number of shots based on how good your team shoots but look for two minimum\, maybe three. Surprise course of fire as well. NO you are not shooting blindfolded with your teammates guiding you to shoot. \nBoth relays will be added together for placement within your appropriate shooting category off hand or supported (bench-rest\, shooting sticks etc) as always. This is for your personal bragging rights. The team relay will be for team prizes and excluded from the scoring of the first two relays. \nFirst shot determines your scoring category. No changing your mind after first shot. So pick either bench or offhand. \nSo shooting safety talk start time: 9:00am\, goal is done by noon so we can all enjoy time with our families\, get back out of the heat or get those weekend chores done. \n20 shots total for score and some more for your team\,\nPatch and roundball. \nGuests 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. \nParticipation Fee: If you are …\nMember of both TRBPS and PCSC: $5\nMember of TRBPS and not PCSC: $10\nMember of PCSC and not TRBPS: $15\nMember of neither: $20

SUMMARY:Event: Monthly Meet - September 2023
DESCRIPTION:We will be shooting two relays\, 10 shots each\, patch and roundball\, any caliber in these two shooting classifications off hand and bench for rifles and pistol this month. The classifications will not compete against each other for prizes\, just bragging rights. We will have our optional category for handguns as well. \nFirst Relay:\n10 shots at 50 yards\, we will be shooting two big bullseye targets. We need to aim a lot smaller and miss smaller even more five shots each bull. Everyone shoots rifles here. \nSecond Relay:\n10 shots at 25 yards\, small hunting target squirrels for points. It is a tough little bugger of a target so be ready to aim small miss small. Here is where it gets a bit different. If you use a rifle\, 25 yard target. But you may shoot a pistol in its place and the target will be placed at 15 to 18 yards. Some folks like to shoot them tree rats with a pistol! It is your choice to shoot either rifle or pistol. Keep in mind this target has been donated and picked out by Bobby W. \nBoth relays will be added together for placement within your appropriate shooting category off hand or bench rest for ranking of results. Now this may turn in to a four category shoot depending on how many we got with pistols and rifles. But please always remember\, it is not about the placement\, it is about the other prizes\, friendship and fellowship. Challenge yourself not others. \nFirst shot determines your scoring category. No changing your mind after first shot. So pick either offhand or bench. Bring a pistol and a rifle if ya got em. We want to make sure you get some practice in cleaning your guns after the shoot. Double the work\, double the pleasure is what we say. \nGuests 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. \nParticipation Fee: If you are …\nMember of both TRBPS and PCSC: $5\nMember of TRBPS and not PCSC: $10\nMember of PCSC and not TRBPS: $15\nMember of neither: $20

SUMMARY:Event: Annual Burnt Mountain Winter Rendezvous 2023
DESCRIPTION:Annual Burnt Mountain Winter Rendezvous & Member Shoot for 2023\n \nMembers of TRBPS and of PCSC are welcome to join us on Range B (Primitive Range) for a casual\, no points shoot for fun and to talk about TRBPS\, where we are\, what we plan on for 2024\, what we can do different. An informal member meeting with fun shooting thrown in. \nOn 12/16\, weather permitting\, we are having a “work day” on range B.  Our regular shooting range.  This will entail working on our guns\, our friendships\, our shoot program for 2024\, where we are with PCSC\, finances for TRBPS and the list goes on. \n\nSo if you are a member of TRBPS you should help make a decision or two and know where we are.  So that is the invite list. Think social shoot on a Saturday so everyone who works has a chance for input.  Attendance is not any where close to mandatory.  It is meant to be a fun\, relaxing day and discuss where we are as a charter club.  Even brewery at noon is part of the agenda and maybe a snack or two if we can get a fire going.\n\n\nThis is all weather permitting and we will set up like a regular shoot.  Flags\, our gear\, cardboard\, paint\, staplers\, steel\, targets etc.  But no scoring other than harassing each other.  Heck we might try to come up with a novelty challenge like a dual\, use the rattle box.  Who knows what the mind will come up with.  But it is all for fun and celebration.\n\nSo this is a relaxing day to shoot and brainstorm.  We are in great shape and getting better and stronger as a club within a club.  So we call this our Burnt Mountain Rondy. Come on over.  This is a family event so bring bring your family to meet and greet as well as shoot.\n\nTake care all and see you on the 16th for our Burnt Mountain Rendezvous.  This is all subject to the range remodel timing of course.  Reply if you have questions.

SUMMARY:Monthly Meet - Over the Log Shoot - February 24th\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:Over the Log or Chunk Gun Shoot\nChunk Gun shooters\nSaturday\, Feb 24th\, the Talking Rock BPShooters are hosting our match at the PCSC complex and is the first for 2024. First range on the right when you come through the gate. Folks been working hard over the winter on range improvements and upgrades for all your shooting comforts. Come by and check ’em out. \nIt is called an over the log or chunk gun match. It is a one of a kind match with unique scoring and format. We decided on this format and type of match as many of our group shoot the Alvin York match in Pall Mall TN\, north west of Knoxville which occurs in March every year. This allows for practice and checking equipment before they compete against 120 or 130 shooters from throughout the midwest. It is a great first match as it is not a lot of shots and plenty of time to analyze your hits and talk to your fellow shooters. You literally change your target after each shot so you can see what is going on. No spotting scopes needed here for this one! \nFor those of you who do not like to get up and down from the ground\, we will have two classifications\, prone and bench. You do not have to have any special equipment like a “chunk gun”. No special clothing although many wear their authentic blue Alvin York overalls. See the attached picture for clothing optional dress. It is how the guns evolved and many shoot what they brung so to speak. So basically any gun\, any sights\, any caliber and shoot with us. So if you have a new rifle\, new load\, new anything and want to test it out\, great match for that. Reason is you do not have to worry about sighting in your rifle\, you bring the bullseye to where you are shooting. Very unique for sure and tough to describe. Just hit the paper somewhere in a group. Remember to bring your favorite 50 yard sight in target for your warmup practice shots. \nMEMBERS: 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. \nGuests 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. \nParticipation Fee: If you are …\nMember of both TRBPS and PCSC: $5\nMember of TRBPS and not PCSC: $10\nMember of PCSC and not TRBPS: $15\nMember of neither: $20

SUMMARY:Monthly Meet - April 27th\, 2024 - Open House Gathering of Friends & Family with Food
DESCRIPTION:As many have seen of late\, we have been making some incredible improvements on our range for our shooter comforts\, guests\, scorers\, RSO’s and anyone else that wants to use the range. Our goal is to be 99% done with our ‘Phase One’ project – shall we call it – by our next shoot. So our shoot will be expanded to an open house for all our shooters\, family and friends to explore the range and enjoy its amenities on Saturday\, April 27\, 2024 starting about 8:30am\, as well as shoot. This continues our philosophy of fellowship\, friendship and family for all here at TRBPS. \nGrills have been installed for cooking and several members have volunteered to cook for all. TRBPS supplies the food\, at no cost to our attendees. We are having our trade blanket with lots of goodies every month that folks like to browse and buy from. And if you would like to\, bring something for the trade blanket – for sale\, trade or barter. \n(DEFERRED TO MAY EVENT) — We are having a special VIP guest who will be bringing over some special firearms\, and maybe some other items\, for us to purchase from our growing trade blanket\, and to meet us all and to see what TRBPS is all about. This is an open house to celebrate our fellowship\, enjoy our improved range setup to start our shooting season. —  \nWe will be shooting for score\, but also demonstrating for our friends and family members if they would like to experience shooting our rifles. As we will most likely be going a bit longer with the food and fellowship\, we will be adding a pistol match. Single shot flint or percussion. \nWe are having two shooting categories/classifications for our rifle match: “Offhand” – as it is known – and “Supported” 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.
