I want to say I paid $10 last year. Metacon always puts on great matches.
I was hoping for centerfire but I'm still going to try to make it to this one.

Can we get the mod to pin this post?

22lr plate match this Sunday at Metacon.
http://www.metacongunclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Falling-Plate-Flyer.pdf

Looks like Guilford Sportsmans Association is having a 3-Gun match May 15th.  

They also hold Action Shoots.  

http://www.guilfordsportsmen.org/calendar.htm

If anybody would like a copy of the flyer for the 3-gun match (with more details about divisions and course information, etc....) send me an email and I will forward it to you. Looks like a fun match- I wish I wasn't pre-obligated that day. The flyer includes contact info for reserving a spot- there is a 25 shooter limit.

Is it members only?

I'm not a member there, so I can't answer other than to say that I received an email. The flyer I received has the match directors contact- I would recommend contacting him.

Non-members welcome.

That's great info John, what's the source?

Metacon Assault Rifle Match info:

A little astray from the most common interests of this forum, but here is some info about .22 smallbore matches that Blue Trails will be hosting this summer:

 
Any info on what this match is like? What kind of firearms and what are stages like?

From Metacon's website.



Several shooters (class III checkout required) have shot full-auto firearms (e.g. FNC, M2 carbine, etc...). Most shooters use typical semi-auto rifles [no class III check-out required] (AR-15 types  overwhelmingly, with hodge podge of minority guns represented, M1A, FAL, SKS, M1 carbine, Mini-14, etc....)

It's been a few years since I shot this match. It tends to be very crowded (hence the limited registrations available), with a couple moderate round count stages (usually repeated runs IIRC). Well organized and a decent social event.

Cool, different classes or run what you brung? What ranges are expected? Any prizes for winners?

Thanks for the info!

Metacon is only 100 yards IIRC. So I wouldn't expect anything farther than that.

Very interesting with the Class III and the raffles etc...

Here's the possible layout of the match. Could change, if it does, not by much.

http://www.metacongunclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Assault-Rifle-2015.pdf

 
Great info!

Shooters,
The May rifle match on Saturday the 28th at Metacon is an accuracy match.  There will be 3 categories. 22LR, centerfire bolt, and centerfire semi.  You may run optics or irons.  All optics will be run at the lowest magnification.  This is a good match to slow down, get back to basics and work fundamentals. Distance will be 100 yards.

Set up at 8, first rounds down range at 9.

Thanks,
Metacon Rifle

2 Gun Shoot this weekend at Somers this weekend is cancelled.

Ask Vlad, 2 gun centerfire rifle/pistol run n gun. Let's do this.

Shooters,
June's rifle match is a 2 gun(rifle/shotgun) match on Saturday the 25th.  We are running one stage with all steel targets.  Hopefully we will be able to run through it twice.  Set up is at 8 and the first rounds head down range at 9.  The stage layout is attached.

Round count:
Rifle - 30 min, no steel core/green tip
Shotgun - 50 min, lead shot only

Thanks,
Metacon Rifle

Hello All,

New member and first post.

I am the Pistol Chairman at the Fin Fur and Feather Club in Chaplin CT.  I have been holding pistol, 2 gun, and 3 gun matches over the past few years.  I will try and post those here as they come up.  But this coming shoot this weekend is entirely different to anything else I have done.  As a collector on vintage firearms, I always wanted to use these classics in a shoot.  However going up against AR’s with optics and modern pistols I knew that I would get my arse whopped.
So, I have been working on this new event detailed below.  Basically it is a throw-back weekend.  I have enlisted the 26th Yankee Division reenactors and they are going to camp out on the rifle range and stage their gear as the prelude to D-Day (May 1944) , tents, vehicles, etc.  Saturday will be an open air museum, Sunday these reenactors and others are going to shoot for time and score. This is open to all, Saturday & Sunday free and $20 if you want to shoot your classic firearms in the match. This is sure to be a great time and something really different (hint, first stage is throwing a grenade thru a window).

Where: Fin Fur & Feather Club, Chaplin CT - Rifle Range
When: Saturday July 23 1000-1700 open WWII exhibits and demonstrations by the 26th Yankee Division Reenactors, open to all, free.
Sunday July 24, 2016 0930-1500 Classic Shoot Event

Open to club members & guests
rifle and pistol shooting event ($20 fee)
firearms manufactured or designed before 1960 (1911’s, revolvers, M1 Carbine/Garand, SKS, etc)
iron sights only    
Rifle and or pistol (you don’t need both)
magazines or clips as needed
20 rounds pistol
60 rounds rifle
Holsters not required (firearms will be tabled)
Magazine/clip carrying kit
Hearing and eye protection
Chair, sunscreen (optional)
Safety briefing 0930 Sunday July 25 – rifle range
Trigger locks for all firearms


Thanks
Paul

Huh..I'll bet you know my uncle... Dave R

This is a great idea and very cool. I've shot your matches many times, always fantastic!! I can't make this one unfortunately and am very disappointed. Good luck and have fun!

Shooters,
The July match will be a rifle/pistol match.  Setup at 8:00 , first rounds down range at 9:00.   $10 for non-members.

Thanks,
Metacon Rifle

FML, I volunteered to work at my range for my mandatory service hours. And I've been wanting a rifle/pistol match...

How do I get on Vlad's email list. Do I need to submit an application first??

Also note: If there are a lot of shooters at this match, the course of fire may only be run once.

Firearms are to be brought to the range and firing line cased and unloaded. Make sure you bring a case that is big enough to fit the gun. It really slows us down when we have to wait for someone to put together a gun on the line.

Do NOT remove your gun from the case until you are told to do so!

Eye and hearing protection is required for all, including spectators.

Shooters,
The August Match is this Saturday the 27th.  This month is a rifle only match.  Set up at 8, first rounds down range at 9.  The courses of fire will include shooting while moving, shooting through barriers, and shooting from the prone position.  If possible please bring enough magazines to hold 90 to 100 rounds.  I will have extra AR15 magazines if you need to borrow some.

Round count - 100 rifle minimum
No steel core/green tip ammo.

Thanks,
Metacon Rifle
