    Marion County Fish and Game's Texas Star Match will be this Saturday, January 26th at 1 PM. Setup will begin at 12:15 PM and we would appreciate the help of a few volunteers. The Safety Meeting (required for new shooters) will be at 12:45 PM to explain the rules. At 1:00 PM, we will begin shooting.

    Please bring heavy work gloves to help reset the targets.

    If the weather is too bad, the match may need to be canceled. I will try to send an e-mail and post an announcement in the Shooting Sports section of www.ingunowners.com by 11:00 AM if it is obvious the weather isn’t going to cooperate.

    The cost is $3 per bracket for club members and $4 per bracket for non-members. All money goes toward the club and/or making the competition better. Youth (under the age of 18) shoot free with a paid adult.

    Texas Star Shooting is conducted under a COLD RANGE. That means all guns must be holstered (or bagged) at all times, unloaded, hammer down, with no magazine inserted. You may only handle your gun at the direction of a range officer (RO), or at the designated "safe table". Violation of this or any other safety rules shall result in a match disqualification.

    If you have any questions about the match, please read the rules posted at: www.IndyRange.org (look under "Programs and Events" > "Bowling Pins") If you are unable to find an answer posted in the rule, please feel free to email me.

    If you are willing to help as an RO or help keep score, that would be greatly appreciated.

    Hope to see you on Saturday.

    ~John

    Ahh! I wish I could make it to this. I need to get back on the ball and keep track of when the matches are. I don't think I have been to one since last spring. Hopefully I can get back into it.

    Good luck out there Gents.

    Still a go?


    It is for now. Forecast I just looked at says sunny and a high of 27F tomorrow. So it's going to be cold. If the forecast in the morning is revised downward, then we'll probably cancel.

    If we do cancel, it'll be posted here before 11AM and I'll send out an e-mail to everyone that I have an e-mail address for.

    If we don't have enough to fill out a reasonable size bracket, we will at least let people practice the TX Star or shoot king of the hill. (If you win, you shoot again. If you lose, you go to the back of the line.)

    I am thinking about toughing out the cold and coming out to shoot. I will check back before I head over to make sure you didn't cancel.

    Had a good time. The Texas star always give me fits in USPSA matches. It was awesome to get to shoot it over and over again. Great practice.

    Thanks to all who put this on! :yesway:
