dt1 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) Happy New Year Everyone! Everything's been worked out with the range for the 2010 Steel City Carbine Championship. The match will be held on Saturday, May 29th or Sunday, May 30th. Like last year, it will be a one day format, pick the day you want to shoot. I'll be e-mailing applications and info out to everyone on my mailing list later today or tomorrow and everything will be posted on the Steel City website later this week or early next week. It'll be the usual fun 7 stages with prize distribution by random drawing at the end of each day. Match fee is the same as last year ($60) and it'll include a t-shirt. The match has filled up early both of the previous years so don't wait too long to send in your application if you want to shoot. Be sure to indicate squad requests when you send in your registration. For those who haven't seen the range lately, a lot has been done, especially to E-range (the long range). It's opened up a lot of exciting opportunities for fun! If you are interested in shooting Friday and helping with a stage Saturday or Sunday let me know, we'll take good care of you. If you want to shoot either Saturday or Sunday and help the day you don't shoot, let me know that also. I can use all the help I can get. SCHEDULING NOTE: Due to a schedule conflict with the match directors, the January carbine match is cancelled. I hope to see everyone in May!

Wha........? Stefan doesn't bat from both sides of the plate, we just don't know who he roots for in college football.

Blueridge Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Thanks to the certificate for a free entry I received at the Memphis Charity Challenge (thanks Hopalong) I will be trying my hand at this match. I had been thinking about trying a rifle/carbine match, but had not made a firm decision to participate in one until I obtained the certificate. I look forward to this match, and the challenge.

dt1 Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Thanks for posting the hotel information Randal. If you need a room for this match, be sure to book one early. The SEC baseball tourny is the same weekend and hotel rooms might be a bit hard to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrawandDuck Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 No steel core, that is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt1 Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 Just a quick update, LaRue Tactical and CPWSA have committed support for the match this year. Thanks to Greg and Chris for helping again this year as well as the previous two years. Further updates as conditions warrant (ie: SHOT concludes so these guys have time to think about things like sponsoring shooting matches.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
