Here's a bump for in and around the Twin Cities for the upcoming match this weekend.

Attended these GRRC events last year. They were not only fun, but also very helpful for those with limited experience in CMP matches.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend this one (or the next) , but will do my best to make it to those that remain.

Have fun all!

Me and Binder will be there. Good thing it'll be cold, I get to wear my fun camouflage!

[tjtorborg]

Cold? Its supposed to be the warmest its been all spring! That being said there will probably be snow in the pits still. Water proof footwear would probably be a good idea.

See you all there!

By the way guys, I'll be bringing my sniper rifle to sight it in after the matches. So if you guys want to do the same I'll be staying after the match for a little bit if you want to do the same.

Sweet! Now I need to go load some ammo for it.

First is it true and if it is - Bummer! I was just pulling all my gear together.
I planned on shooting my Garand in match 1 and my 1903A3 in match 2. It would have been the first time for the 'A3.

Is it true? I was sighting in my M-14 today in the freezing rain and sleet today.

Sad but true. I talked with range mgr and high power chair and we decided to cancel. The roads are a mess and were just starting to dry out when this storm hit. Now there is no way they will be ready by Saturday. Plus the firing lines will be swampy.

Sorry guys!

Some choice words come to mind but they are not family friendly. What a spring eh? Any chance of scheduling a makeup date (maybe a double header), formal or otherwise?
