Will there be any short range benchrest matches at this location?

WOW!, great looking shooting complex

I’m not sure. They could have. I’d suggest asking the guy that shoot at Porcupine if they know anyone intending to head one up.

 

[DHuffman]

I for one appreciate you taking this on @foster
Should be about a 3 hour drive for me from home.

 

[Tom E]

good luck Forest!! I’m really sorry I can’t make your first few matches, due to scheduling conflicts here at home, but I’m looking forward to this range, lots of cool stuff to do in that area.
Sept and October are on my schedule!

 

[Northridge]
