Shooting

[JKR]

JKR, You are very lucky to have that set up at you disposal..

Don, nothing more satisfying than casting nice bullets.. Other than shooting them.. lol..

Steve,
Yes, we are lucky to have it’s use.
Funny thing is, this 12 point high power range was built by WI National Guard engineers in the early 90’s, in collaboration with the local gun club. To my knowledge there has never been a match held there. I was hard into HP competition at the time so I would’ve known if there was a match just 30 miles from my home. There seems to be zero interest in this nice 600 yard range.
There was a good deal of interest in hp competition at that time and lots of NG troops attended matches. They didn’t need to be on the shooting teams. Any troop could draw a match conditioned rifle and match ammo to attend a match. They could turn in a voucher and have their entry refunded. It all came to a screeching haunt when funds were cut during the Clinton administration. NG competitors all but disappeared except for a very few who were willing to shoot on their own hook. The matches dwindled down from four and five relays to three with empty firing points.
I guess all the precision shooting sports have suffered this fate to some extent.
