Will there be a JCG match on the following day as there has been in the past years?

[dennymac]

We will not have a registered JCG match on Sunday following the clinic. There is a 1,000 yard match scheduled for Sunday.
Camp Atterbury is having several Garand/M1A matches this year. They are also a great bunch of folks. Look them up. DennyMac
