SW Gun Club HP Service Rifle (XTC) match Sat. Dec. 3, 2011: match confirmed

The Southwest Gun Club of McComb, MS will host a High Power Service Rifle Match this Saturday, Dec. 3, 2011, at the Bogue Chitto range. The course of fire will be the NRA 50 rd National Match course; those wishing to fire the 80 rd course may do so if they may be paired with another shooter in the pits to pull the additional stages. The course of fire is below.
Please confirm if you are planning to come; I will keep a close eye on the weather and will send out at least one additional email, no later than Friday afternoon / Friday evening. Please check your email and if you are uncertain call before driving to the range. Likewise I need to know how many plan to come, if there will be insufficient attendance I will cancel the match. If 8 shooters confirm we will conduct the match.
Please let me know if you will need to purchase .30 cal ammunition for use in M1 or 1903 rifles for the match. The club will no longer offer .223 ammunition for the matches.

Sorry, I am attending the MSGO/Capital Gun Club mini M&G that day. Going to play with shotguns and handguns........

I will see you guys down there is 2012.

.

Sorry to hear you won't be there; the SWGC 2012 schedule will be issued very soon, so hope you can make some of the events. Just finalized things tonight with Doug Bowser.

I'm wanting to do this match sometime soon, need to get consistent at 200yds first

Come on out and try it; we have target pits at Bogue Chitto so you will get immediate feedback on your impacts with the NRA course of fire (see OP above) for your sighters at all distances, and for all of your shots in the SF stages (200 yd OH and 600 yd prone). Only way you get used to firing the XTC is to fire the XTC match. I and others will offer advice if requested, we're very casual compared to some other HP XTC matches. Hope to see you in Bogue Chitto soon.

I've got to work tomorrow.

Sorry I won't be able to make it.

I was really looking forward to it.

Catch y'all in January hopefully.

I'm down for the next match! Devildog, save me a spot

Done deal. I think it is 1/7/2012. You'll have a great time. Offer is open for anyone. Can fit four, probably five comfortably.

I'm going to keep an eye on the schedule. I haven't had a chance to shoot at that range in a long time and I have a couple of rifles I want to try.

Come on out, the more the merrier. Weather should be real nice in January, too!
