M-1 Carbine Match & AK/SKS Match this Saturday at Magnolia

We will have the M-1 Carbine and AK/SKS match at Magnolia Rifle & Pistol Club on 9/10/11 at 9:00 a.m. This is a match for the M-1 Carbine only in the first relay and then only SKS and AK rifles in the second relay. Targets will be set at 100 yards and the course of fire is 10 sighters and 40 rounds for the match. Match fee is $10.00 and ammo is available at $12.00 for 50 rounds (sorry, Carbine ammo only. I have no SKS/AK club ammo at this time). This should be a fun match. Please be sure to arrive by 8:30 to get set up and fill out score cards. PM me if you have any questions.

I might have a new shooter coming for the carbine relay if there is room left. Should be an ideal introduction to high power. Will he need the affidavit for a carbine match?

Who's loaning me a SKS?

im out of this one, since the weather was bad all weekend I will be at camp next weekend but will be back sat night for the 22 f class on sunday.

good luck to all.

Sorry you can't make it dhollis. I'll see you Sunday at the .22 match.

Got him added Shoe. Now if someone has an extra rifle.......

We might have an issue Saturday morning..... The news last night said the Pearl River will crest at 33 feet. Friday afternoon someone needs to go to the range to see if the gate is flooded. Lets hope the weather man is WRONG...................

Oh boy, I hope it doesn't. Looks like it will be a great day to have a match (minus flood water of course). Can someone go to the range Friday afternoon and check it out? I have to work job #2 that afternoon.

Shoe, I will loan you either a SKS or AK. Let me know which one to bring.

The only catch is that you will have to help clean it after the match.

M1GF, I can pass by the range Friday afternoon on my way to Raymond. Will provide you an update Friday.

At what height does it flood at the gate?

Will keep ya'll posted ... still a long way to go as of this morning!! Actually the range faired really, really well .... Only a couple places with water still standing ..

Please put me down for Relay 1, M1 Carbine. Thanks

I was impressed with how well most of the range had drained after that heavy rain when I was out there yesterday.

Scott B. is added.

Thanks for checking on the river level Capt & DMC. Keep us posted.

Gotcha added. Hmmm....may need 14 targets again

Are optics permitted? I have a PSOP scope for AK rifles that I use on my AK 74. If not still might come out and shoot with open sights . . . still trying to see if I can make it up there this weekend.

Sorry, iron sights only. I hope you can join us for the match. If we have enough interest and shooters for this, we may have to start doing this as a whole separate match.

No problem, unless something comes up, (in which case I'll let you know ASAP) I will be there.

I definitely plan on being there for both matches.

Ought to be a great day for a match.

Lovin' this weather!

I just shot at MRPC. High and dry right now. Looks great.

Are all AK calibers permitted? I will be using an AK 74 (5.45x39.5).

Hope it stays that way. They are opening up the flood gates at the rez tonight to increase flow.
