Hello from Minnesota

If you have a scope on the rifle, just get it zeroed, find a reasonable load, load up 60-70 rounds and go find a match. The matches are extremely informal. They are more social than competitive. There is no pink Cadillac in the parking lot for the “winner”.You meet great people and the conversations are mostly about guns and loads. One characteristic all matches have is that they are educational. You always return home having learned something new and looking forward to applying it at the next match.

CBA and Scheutzen matches have some similar and some different courses of fire. Most match shooters don’t really practice. What they do is experiment with different loads, looking for “the one” to try @ the next match.

I was a member @ the Hibbing club but gave it up after 6-years because I just wasn’t getting up there enough, 3-hour drive compared to my local club, 13-minute drive. I drive to matches @ Rice Lake, WI, about 2-hours and the drive from Duluth to the 3 clubs in the Twin Cities is about 2 1/4 hours.

Any questions, just let me know.

Tom
