Just for back from a FCSA 1000yd match in Reade Township, PA. We had a very good match, had a full shooting line including some new shooters, and several people came to watch. More on these matches in a sec, lets get to the kicking butt part.
Our rifles, the Ferret50, did an outstanding job as did the shooters. Everyone who shot a Ferret50 at the match took a trophy. We swept Hunter class, had a first in Light Gun and a third in Heavy Gun. I shot a 273x2 to take 2nd in Hunter. Yes, I got beat by one of my own rifles, but thats OK.
Back to the matches. Everyone here is a FCSA member, right? If you are, thank you. If not, allow me to tempt you. As most know the fight for our 2nd amendment rights are centered around the sporting uses of the 50BMG. The FCSA needs your support to knock these anti-gun liberals back under the rock they crawled from. What do you get out of becoming a member? You get to be a part of a growing shooting sport. There is opportunity for folks just like you to make a name for yourself in this sport, and it doesnt matter if you shoot or not. These matches are fun and you wont find a better class of folks around. But it takes people to make this happen.
