The annual Worley Match is scheduled for January 3rd. This year the Worley Match will be combined with the M1 Only Match. The course of fire will consist of the usual 50 shot 100 yd High Power match and a modified Pistol NMC (one hand only). Any M1 Garand, including "Accurized" M1's, with issue sights may be used. The Pistol Match may be fired concurrently with the High Power match. Any pistol may be used. Loaner pistols and ammo will be available. There is no charge for the pistol match and no awards. The Worley Trophy will be given to the club member with the highest total High Power and Pistol scores.

Norm Robinson is going ahead with the indoor Pistol shoots at the Last Resort range. The shoot is built around "Bullseye" shooting. HOWEVER, no one is excluded. The emphasis is on shooting for fun. Contact Norm on broncoala@knology.net for more information.
Steel targets are not to be attached to the target frames as lead spatter erodes the wood supports and the hooks are being ruined. Steel targets are to be self supporting. Pepper poppers and heavy metal plates are acceptable. Be very careful with these targets - ricochets are common, and lead splatter from steel plates can be a serious hazard and is an aggravation to others. Either put the steel targets on the backstop or elevate targets so any misses go into the backstop. Steel pistol/rimfire targets are to be no closer than 25 yards (75 feet) away from the firing line . Centerfire rifle targets are to be no closer than the 100 yard berm. Centerfire rifle FMJ’s, or armor piercing bullets are not to be used against steel targets because of the risk of return ricochets. Rifles using full magnum pistol cartridges, such as the 44 Mag or 357 Mag, are to keep steel targets at the 100 yard range due to the violence of lead spatter.
A successful "Appleseed" marksmanship training session was held the weekend of August 30/31, 2014.
