First Group Match of 2017 at St Louis
It's getting close to that time of year. The first group match at Bench Rest Rifle Club of 2017 is just around the corner. Time to blow the dust off of those rifles in the safe and head to St. Louis. Match dates are February 25-26. It has been unseasonably warm in St. Louis this February, so everyone will probably need shorts this year.
This is an LV/HV 100 and 200 yard match with all 100 yard shooting on Saturday and 200 yards on Sunday. We will start at 10:00 am on Saturday and 8:00 am on Sunday. I am still working on availability for a fun match on Friday afternoon, but we will have one if my schedule permits. Standard match fee of $90.00, and no charge for camping and use of the showers and facilities.
We will have lunch on Saturday and Sunday, and bacon wrapped fillets for dinner on Saturday evening for a mere $20.00. We have been very fortunate this year. This match has been our Memorial Match the last few years, where we have honored fellow local shooters that have passed on. We are lucky enough to not have anyone that meets that criteria this year, so instead we have decided to honor Mr. Dave Quevreaux. Dave is a bench rest shooter, but he was also the driving force behind the the completion of the current BRRC range after the old club flooded in 1993. Dave was instrumental in building our beautiful range, and we felt that it was appropriate to honor his devotion to the sport and our club. Dave will even be attending our dinner on Saturday night.
For planning purposes please let me know if you plan to attend. Also please let me know if anyone needs assistance with hotel arrangements. I hope to see a bunch of you in a few weeks.
Thanks,
