Interested in improving your shooting skills? The All National Guard Marksmanship Team will be in Missoula to instruct a rifle clinic. Read below for more info on the clinic and the following long range and XTC matches.
This upcoming Memorial Day Weekend, the Deep Creek Range in Missoula will be hosting a 3 day rifle event, consisting of an Across the Course (XTC) shooting clinic on Saturday, an 80 shot XTC match followed by a 15 shot 800yd match on Sunday, and the weekend concludes with a Palma format (800-900-1000yds) match on Memorial Day. Due to the increased attendance, contact me to reserve a spot on the firing line.
New this year is the “Precision Rifle” Division in long range. This division is for those that want to compete with their long range hunting rifle, a M-24 type rifle, Tactical Rifle or even use a sound suppressor. Request separate “Director’s Match” program for info.
Bring at least 170 rounds of ammo for the XTC matches and 80 rounds of long range ammo if you intend to shoot all available matches over the weekend.
Registration will open Sunday and Monday at 7:30 at the pits, and closes at 8:30.
Following Sunday’s matches, there will be a BBQ. Bring your main dish, and a side dish to pass. The camping is great at the range and there are a few electric hook ups for the RVer’s. For those not wanting to camp there are numerous hotels within 30 minutes of the range.
