New USPSA Match in Winnsboro, La

[chbrow10]

This is a repost from the Mississippi shooting forum. The original thread is here: http://www.msgunowners.com/t15242-new-match-in-louisiana-uspsa

Here is a cut and paste from that site:

Winnsboro Gun Club in Winnsboro, La. will start shooting official USPSA matches next month on Sunday June 12th. Entry fee will be $15.00. They are not the typical "gun-ho" serious IPSC club, really friendly people.
Winnsboro is roughly 1-1/2 hours from Alexandria. They do not start shooting till 1:30p.m., so this will give you time to go to church or whatever you need to do Sunday morning before you have to leave to head up there. We usually leave around 11:00a.m. and go grab a burger in Winnsboro before heading to the range.
We shot there yesterday, 5 courses of fire that were a mixture of paper and steel. This is a small club, with match participation at around 20-25 participants. We divided up into two squads and completed the 5 courses and helped tear down, all in just over 2-1/2 hours. We were on the road heading home around 4:15p.m.
If anyone is interested in attending matches there, please let me know a few days before the match date and we can convoy up there. We plan to go back June 12th and do it again.

Glad to hear from you, yes we are starting USPSA matches, they are scheduled the second Sunday of each month starting at 1:30pm. Matches are approximately 125+/- rnds. Will be 4 stages, shooters are divided into 2 groups who shoot simultaneously on different stages. Where will you be coming from, I can give you better directions if I know.

Please address e-mails to wnbo@bellsouth.net as this is the address I use most. The other is my home e-mail and goes through my wife.

Also we are shooting a Steel Challenge format match the first Sunday each month. We will be setting up 2 to 4 stages depending on the available targets. Matches will be 125 to 150 rounds. Usually shoot each stage 4 to 5 times and throw out worst score.
Fees for uspsa will be $15 and steel challenge match $10.

I will e-mail notification of each match during the week before the match and match results during the week afterwards, to everyone who has given me an e-mail address.

Thanks for the interest and good shooting,

Jerry
