A couple of other notes:
There will be an EIC pistol match after the EIC rifle match. It is quite interesting to watch rifle shooters shoot pistols.
The 600 yard line is covered and has a rubber like surface covering the ground like what is used on playgrounds. It is the nicest 600 yard firing point I have ever shot on.
Make sure you know how to use your windage knobs, lots of full value wind at times.
The weather should be nice temperature wise, not too hot, not too cold.
Donaldsonville is about one hour from New Orleans, if that would be of interest to anybody.
