Alan550 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Bedford Rifle & Revolver Club, Inc. will be holding the Virginia State Action Pistol Championship (Cardinal Cup) and the Southeast Regional Action Pistol Championship (Overlord Memorial Cup) matches again this year on September 20-21, 2014. The Overlord Memorial Cup is so named because Bedford, VA is the location of the National D-Day Memorial. Bedford lost more men on a per-capita basis than any other city or town in the US on that fateful day in June of 1944. 19 of Bedford's finest gave their lives on June 6th of that year, and our matches are held on the same property where they practiced before shipping off to England for the invasion of France. Hence the name of the match. The range will be available for practice on Thursday & Friday before the match at no charge. Targets will be available at a nominal fee for practice. We were the first in the US to have a Moving Target on rails, so come on out and shoot with us this year, and visit the D-Day Memorial while you're in town! This will be the eleventh year holding these prestigious events. Last year we had shooters from twelve states and Canada competing. There were 23 National Records either set or tied during the events. This makes us the 2nd largest Action Pistol match in the country with only the Bianchi Cup being larger. http://www.bedfordrrc.org/matches/action-pistol-championships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan550 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Thanks for the heads-up. Just forgot to change the year when I copied from last year's program! Got it fixed, thanks to your sharp eye! Alan~^~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan550 Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 The entry deadline for our Regional & State Action Pistol Championship matches is fast approaching! Entry deadline to avoid late fees is for entries received by August 30th. Presently the matches are over 50% filled, so it's imperative that you get your entries in if you plan to participate. Also, awards are based upon the number of entries we have at that time, and if you don't sign up by the deadline, you will not receive a shirt for the Overlord Memorial Cup or a cap for the Cardinal Cup. Match programs & entry forms can be found here: http://www.bedfordrrc.org/matches/action-pistol-championships Thank you to the ones who have already registered! I'll see you next month.

JRB Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Good Day Alan. A very big thank you to you and the crew of the Bedford club for a great 2 days of shooting. The weather could not have been better, the organization of the matches was 100%, and the range crew did an awesome job. I only wish we could have a few more matches in the year, I need the shooting time. Thank you again. Russell Canadian AP shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan550 Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) Thanks Russell. Part of the range crew was an all-girl RO staff on the Barricades on Sunday, one of whom is the current Va State Lady Fast Draw Champion in Cowboy Shooting. We aims to please!
