Q Match in Europe - Kurt - 08-01-2013
The Forsyth Mt. Quigley Match is also getting to be a big event over on the other side of the pond http://quigleymatch-europe.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=60&lang=en I would like to attend someday.
A BIG high 5 for Al Lee and the Montana crew for sparking the Quigley Match that might even be getting bigger then the Creedmoor match in it's time.

It'll be interesting to see what sort of turnout they get for that. I hope it's a raging success for them.

Really pretty countryside all through that region----------i traveled it a lot several years ago on business
many of old military bases thru that region that would make great shooting venues
it will be fun to see how it developes---------lots of hunters and shooters in eastern europe

I see the rules state no duplex loads or blackpowder substitutes. I didn't look that close but what country is this in?

When i was working in that part of europe we did a wild boar stand hunt in Hungary one weekend---the first half of the weekend was "school", classroom gun handling local laws and customs the first afternoon we were range qualified with the supplied rifles----all very controlled till the drive started then it was just crazy-----stand hunt with driven boar----mostly running shots thru broken woods-----a neat experience but quite different from any other hunting i had ever been a part of
I imagine that a really indepth instructions in very minute detail with controlled ammo and strict line discilpline will be the norm for the match shooters and spotters--------as well as schooling in local laws and transportation of guns and such
Poland is the venue
