Is the Kimber 82 rule still in effect?

 

[Hawkeye7br]

Not sure I understand the question. If you mean all rifles are fired as single shot, then yes. Hope that doesn't deter you. The folks with mag fed guns didn't see it as a disadvantage.

Just a heads up that this is the same date as the (every third Sunday) WVPPS USPSA match.

 

[Hawkeye7br]

Yeah, the other 2 choices were Mother's day or Memorial weekend Sunday. Lesser of 3 evils....June match is on 4th Sunday.

I'll be running around the bays that day, probably missing 25 yd. steel...but I'll definitely give you guys a look.

This is true. I shot a 10/22 and after settling my nerves I had plenty of time left on the clock every string of fire

If you plan to attend this match, kindly shoot me a pm or a email. Trying to get an idea of participants. Haven't seen a weather report yet, surely it won't be cool and thunderstorms!!!!

Is this going to be a monthly event? I will be instructing in Liberty IN that weekend and won't be able to attend again. All the fun stuff happens on the same days.

the cool thing about Riley Conservation Club: multiple events at the same time!

 

[Hawkeye7br]

Kudos to the RCC members that went out on a limb and voted to rebuild the range so we can hold multiple events at the same time, or a single event won't tie up the entire facility all day!!

We're shooting this match this coming Sunday and again on Sunday June 25 (4th Sunday). No match in July, then we'll look at the schedule thru October.

Went into a local gun shop the other day....owner said he'd heard we ran a good match, a participant came in and ordered a new rifle and scope....

 

[hog slayer]

That's awesome!

Sorry guys. I know you'll be disappointed to hear I won't be in attendance this weekend.
Long range regional at Atterbury won my attention.

WHAT! CanX? Not enough participants? Weather?

Missing me already!

I'm expecting to visit soon and hope to shoot a bit. I'll plan to hand over my card then.

Perfect weather...walked over from the USPSA side to give a look, and it seemed like only about 4 people though?

 

[bwframe]

It's gonna take participation to keep events like this happening folks.

 

[Hawkeye7br]

Yup, very poor turnout. Been reading INGO posts for a couple years from guys with 22 rifles and no events to shoot in. Offered a different game that makes it a challenge, not just paper punching, and any reasonably accurate 22 rifle can play. I understand folks that are heavily involved in other disciplines, it's all the other tire kicker no-shows that disappoint me. There always will be scheduling conflicts, maybe that's why there are no rifle events outside formal CMP competition.

It's a fun event. Hope it doesn't get relegated to locals only, or "5th Saturday of the month, twice a year" status.
