Hello!
The Southwest Gun Club will host its monthly High Power / service rifle match this Saturday, October 2, 2010, at our Bogue Chitto range. The course of fire will be 50 rounds, fired at 200, 300, and 600 yards. If there are shooters who wish to fire 80 round course of fire we will do so and pair those shooters with others (in the pits) who also wish to fire the 80-rd course. The weather forecast for the weekend looks good, it will be cool.
Sign-in will begin at 8:00 am and I want the first relay on the line ready to fire at 9:00 am ! I should be at the range by 7:30am for those early risers who would like to help set up targets and prepare the pits- thanks in advance!

If you need directions please contact me via email. I will not be available by phone this evening, but you may call me Thursday or Friday afternoon. Alternately, you may contact Doug Bowser, our club secretary, at 601-341-8797 or [email protected] . I do ask as usual that you RSVP so I may know how many plan to come to the match.

Sincerely
Phillip Zinke 601-341-8145

I had a great time seeing what the M-1 would do at 600 yards.

I had a great time seeing what the M-1 would do at 600 yards.

I wish I had my NM M1 with Douglas Double X supreme barrel. It would really cut the mustard at 600. 180-189 points. I became ill with Cancer and sold a bunch of rifles I wish I had not. THe M1 was one of them.

I hate I had to miss the match. I want to try out my M1 or M1A on that 600 yard course. Maybe I can make it there in December.

Yeah, I see Magnolia has their HP match the same day as ours in November. Too bad, I'd like us all to shoot together.
