Match organizers in Michigan are invited to add their match schedules this thread.

We need some Club Contacts to go with this schedule. I don't have them all. Can you help? Here is what I have so far, and some of them may not be correct.
Post additions-corrections on page 4. I'll add them here.

NOW: How about those dates for Hillsdale, Isabella Co. & Mount Pleasant?

There must be other clubs here in Michigan that are running BR matches: Maybe not Sanctioned Matches, but BR matches never the less. I think they belong on this schedule.
Anyone here know of a club that runs or is planning to run matches this year?
Is our club at Sault Ste. Marie the only one in the UP?

Joe,

In 2011 there will be both rimfire and centerfire matches at the Isabella County Sportsmans Club which is near Mt. Pleasant. How's that for a central location? Steve Robbins and Harry Ross are putting together a schedule. We will get it published and on here as soon as they decide on dates.

One thing for sure at ICSC, there will be a factory class open for shooters who do not have a benchrest rifle in both rimfire and centerfire. Some of us have 17 HMR sporters that shoot well and will be shooting them in the rimfire factory class. We'll find out how they will compete with a real rimfire bench gun.

More as soon as we get it.

That is wonderful news about ICSC; I look forward to the mid-Michigan shoots, especially Harrison. I may just have to dig out the old 22 so I can come and play.

Rick...

We'll try to keep everyone informed. Steve and Harry and I will be getting together right after the holidays and try to figure out just what, when and how we are going to do it.

ICSC did hold rimfire matches a few years back and some of the members are interested.

Happy Holidays!

Hello Mark:

I'm the Benchrest contact UP here.

Sault Sainte Marie - Chippewa County:
We are 220 miles north of Standish.

Got a good thing going with rimfire benchrest, Our Centerfire BR has been in hibernation since the 1990s. We tried to bring it back this year, but attendance was disappointing. We plan to try again next season. We need equipment rules that will attract these Yooper deer hunters.

Our range is 4 miles south of town. 1/4 mile north of 7 Mile Road on Ridge Road.

We have 16 benches under cover out to 100 yard. A separate 6 bench range under cover at 200 yards, and an 8 bench range out to 100 yards that is not under cover.

Also have a 25 yard "Cowboy Town with lots of reactive steel targets, three Trap Fields, a Skeet field and a 28 target 3D Archery range. Electric hookups for 7 trailer/campers and several rustic campsites in the woods. Even though we are Yoopers UP here: We have real flush toilets in both of our clubhouses.

I got a reply today from Joe (Kupra, Kroop) Krupa. He updated me with the Eastern Region Schedule as it stands today. I updated the schedule I have and will post an attachment below to show what I have for the "centerfire BR matches held between March and October in Michigan for 2011 as of today".

Matt, I put Holton Eastern Regionals for Sept. 3-6. I just can't believe it ends on Teusday, with no shooting on Saturday, but you and Joe both have it that way.

I have updated the master list at the top of this forum based on the dated given by Matt & pbike.

Please check for mistakes & corrections. If someone wants to change a date to avoid a conflict, do that too.

Joe, from UP here.
 
Paul and Joe H.,

Sorry about the dates mix-up for the Eastern Regional 100-200-yard Group Championship. It is being held on Saturday September 3rd to Monday September 5th at Holton.

Regards.

Date Correction

OK Joe K . . .

I just made the Schedule Change to Sept 3-5 for the Eastern Regional 100-200 yard Group Championship.

How about some matches closer to the Southern part of Michigan? I'm in Lansing, and don't mind traveling, but I don't think I can make the trip to the Soo anytime soon.

WWCCA is in Plymouth, not far from your neighboring college in A.A., Holton is not to be confused with Houghton in the UP. Holton is North East of Muskegon on M-120. Both of those clubs have registered Group or Score matches, and are within an hour and a half for you.

Also, if you are looking for ARA (rimfire) Ask on the Rimfire board about the schedule at Hillsdale. I believe they are still shooting ARA
