Back in 2011 & 2012 I held four FT matches on my property.  Then kids got into sports.  I've been thinking of holding another match at my house, likely in April or early May.  Just wondering if anyone would attend.

Last time was 8-10 shooting locations with about 35-40 targets and I'm thinking this one would be similar.

Doug,

If I only lived about 300 miles closer I would be down.

Just the drive up ther would be worth it.

Good luck..

Oh yeah, I'm there!  The ride there is super slab free (and snow free)  for those of us who ride bikes!

Hi Doug,

Ashland Air Rifle club will come up.. at least three of us.. if you can choose a date in early May or late April.  We have an AAFTA Grand Prix match scheduled in Ashland for the 17th, (practice), 18th and 19th of May.  We usually try to use the weekend after Mother's Day each year for the "Humility Hill Challenge".

 

Sounds like fun, and I agree it's a beautiful drive up to beautiful country!

Wayne

May 4th (Saturday).  10:00.  I'll post a flyer in the next few days.  I'll do my best to make this a fun, challenging, cleanly run event but I'm not a pro FT shooter.

I'll be putting on an air rifle FT shoot at my house on Saturday, May 4th.  Approximately 35-40 reactive targets for each round.

I'd really appreciate if anyone that wants to attend let me know ahead of time.  Parking, snacks, score sheets, etc.

I just found out that there are two shooting events in the area this same day.  So, I hate to do this, but I'm rescheduling this FT shoot for the following weekend, May 11th.  Same format.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hi Doug,

Count me in!  Since I'm retired, would it be helpful if I arrived 1 -2 days early to help with set-up and etc?  

Cheers, 

Colin

Sure looking forward to this gathering, Doug! Thank you for the help in finding nearby camping.
If anyone else needs a site, there are two RV campgrounds close by: Wildhorse Casino RV and a KOA.

The Indian casino gave me a reservation.

Sometimes I really amuse me.

That was lots of fun in good company.

Many thanks to Doug and crew for a FUN match.
Man ... I think I have a new addiction. Popping Starlight Mints and Dum-Dum pops!! Fun to see those candies crunched without the guilt of actually eating them.
Along with Doug's knockdown targets, spinners and that LONG shot to the frying pan ... a devilish good challenge.
Great fun, great company, cold drinks and lots of laughs. 
Pendleton -- the new epicenter of Candy Crunch!

Bob
