Revere's Riders -- 2nd Annual Marty Brown Rifle Match, Nov. 3-4, Camp Atterbury

[gopher]

The 2nd Annual Marty Brown Memorial Rifle Match is coming up next month. Marty was an instructor who battled cancer for years and finally succumbed 2 years ago; you can read more about her in the match listing. This is a "known distance" rifle match where you will be shooting the Revere's Riders "Rifle Qualification Test" at 100 to 400 yards (the same range as the NRA used for this year's High Power matches). You will shoot AQTs for half the day and run the target pits the other half. You should know your rifle and how to "dial" for distance. There will be NO instruction.

New this year will be two traveling trophies!

There will be a "High Score" trophy for the match winner as well as a "Tactifail" trophy for the person who puts the most useless crap on their rifle (if you win the match with all the crap on the rifle, even better!). Both trophies will have brass plaques for each year's winner; you will be required to bring the trophy back to the 3rd Annual Marty Brown Memorial Rifle Match in 2019 (or we WILL hunt you down!). The finishing touches are being put on these as we speak and I will post photos as soon as I have them.

Match details and tickets can be purchased on the Revere's Riders website: 2nd Annual Marty Brown Memorial Rifle Match (Camp Atterbury, IN)

This sounds fun. If I can clear the calendar with the wife I'll be there.... And I've got a lot of rail space

We're looking to make this a weekend of fun competition (serious but not TOO serious) between friends. Mount your crap up on that rail and show us how it's done The "Tactifail" winner will be required to return the trophy with one more piece of "crap" on it than when they received it; bonus points if you transfer something off your rifle directly to the trophy as you receive it!

Don't forget that Camp Atterbury offers REALLY inexpensive civilian overnight accommodations right on base for (like $35/night). The rooms are clean and you are literally minutes away from the range!

Hope you can make it as this will be a fun weekend

This is just 2 weeks away. Get your tickets now while it's on your mind and avoid accidentally having the ticket deadline pass. Due to Camp Atterbury regulations, we MUST provide the base a list of event participants beforehand; we can NOT sell tickets past 10/27.

Here's a photo of the almost completed "Tactifail" traveling trophy (you get to keep it for 1 year and your name is added to a brass plaque on the trophy itself). This trophy would look FANTASTIC in anyone's home!

There will also be a "High Score" traveling trophy for the match winner. That trophy is nearing completion as we speak and I will share a photo of it as soon as I have one.
