Next one is in 1 WEEK on Sunday April 29, 2012
In keeping with the Garand and High Power groups, juniors 20 and under will get to shoot for free. So if you fall into that make sure you speak up when you sign in.
Since there were some who had difficulty getting dialed in at 800 yards the first time, the 800 yard shoot time is extended from 12 minutes to 15 minutes.
This is a FUN, low stress fun match. Meant to let milsurp shooters stretch the legs of their war horses and see what they are capable of and have FUN.
I have email addresses for some of you who are interested, but not all. If you think you might attend shoot me an email with Vintage Military Long Range Match in the subject and I will add you to the email group for this event. That will be used not only for further notices, but for sending out match results.
