Questions about 2024 Match
Posted: Sun Jun 23, 2024 5:20 pm
1) Chairs? There will be plenty of chairs for spotters. If you want to bring your own, please do so.
2) Target color? Black with a light gray contrasting berm.
3) Target Distance? All targets are in METERS! Big bore smallbore field pistol half scale fifth scale. All should be in the + or - tolerance per the rule book.
4)Platforms? There is a platform at every position. They are approximately 2 feet by 4 feet. They will accommodate flop shooters. If you are shooting flop. Determine if you want a platform or not before your relay. They are movable. There mostly is not enough room for you and your box. We use a chair to hold our box.
5)Food? Food will be available Saturday through Saturday for purchase each day.
6) Weather? July in Kentucky. Probably at least high 80s to mid 90s with pretty good humidity.
7) Space? Plenty of parking. Plenty of places to camp, no hookups. Put up a canopy. There will be a large canopy with tables immediately behind the firing line to stage you guns before your relay. There's a large clubhouse with air conditioning. Indoor bathrooms (very important to the ladies). I believe there will be a port-a-potty behind the firing line. The clubhouse is less than 50 yards from the firing line.
8) Water? I'm sure water will be available.
9) Meeting nights? Since some of the principles are not going to be there at the end of the week. I believe they will be on either Saturday, Sunday or Monday. That detail is being worked out by IHMSA and David Bemis. Of course, one of those days will be the banquet. Those will be announced at a later date.
10) Air Gun? We do not have an "enclosed place" to hold Air. That may have to be decided when everyone gets there.
11) 500 meters? If I'm correct we will do it like it has been done in the past. We will practice on Friday after the shoot offs and trophy presentation. Then shoot the 500 Saturday morning starting at 10:00am. ADDED 6/24/24. Those needing to shoot on Friday will be afforded the opportunity to shoot. This is for those who have a long way to travel to leave Saturday morning.
12) What to see? Lawrenceburg has two distilleries. Frankfort has distilleries and museums. Those are the two closest things. Bardstown maybe 45 miles down the road has everything. New Haven has Abe Lincoln and Makers Mark. Just let google be your friend.
13)Food in the evening? Frankfort has the most places to eat. Lawrenceburg has all the fast-food places.
14) Rugs? Rugs or shooting mats will not be provided. If you are shooting prone from the ground, you will want one.
