September John C Garand Match and October too!

First a reminder,

Tucson Rifle Club's monthly John C Garand Match will be held this coming Sunday 16 Sep 07.

Range gate opens around 0630. If the office isn't open yet and there's no sign-in sheet on the outside table you must still sign-in before you leave for the day.

Squadding starts on the 200yd line after the pits are set up. First round downrange at 0700.

Match fee is $10 for adults; juniors and military shoot for free.

Ammunition is available for use in the match: $10 for 60 rounds of M1 Rifle or M1 Carbine.

Several privately-owned rifles and carbines are available for loan free of charge. Club ammo must be purchased and used. Contact me if you need one.

Reduced targets to simulate the standard National Match Course are available on request. Ask for them when squadding.

************OCTOBER************

TRC's October Garand Match will be held in conjunction with the CMP Western Games at Ben Avery Shooting Facility in Phoenix on Sunday 21 Oct 07.

TRC's October Roy Dunlap Match will also be held at Ben Avery in conjunction with the Creedmoor Cup Match on Saturday 27 Oct 07.

Any Tucson shooter scoring well enough to earn a CMP medal in any of the Games or place against other TRC shooters in his NRA class in the Creedmoor Cup will also receive a coupon good for $10 off any TRC Highpower Match fee.

Unfortunately, CMP's program doesn't allow for an "Any Rifle" class so you must shoot an "As Issued" rifle.

Fortunately, we have numerous M1 and M1903 rifles along with several M1 Carbines available for loan. The CMP entry fee already includes ammunition.

So go to http://clubs.odcmp.com/cgi-bin/matchInfo.cgi?matchID=2516 and get your entries in.

Anyone needing transportation to Ben Avery on match day or overnight billeting in PHX for the matches please contact me.

Hope to see you at all the matches,
