1.) December 5, 2009

Twi: 6:47am
Sunrise: 7:14am

<span style="font-weight: bold">Why is this here? Shooters may check 100yd zeroes at sunrise.</span>
CAVEAT: All shooters <span style="color: #FF0000">must</span> be present at the beginning of the initial briefing, so we CANNOT drag-ass around at the zero range. I will update the time for that meeting. Depending on weather conditions we should be able to see to shoot at 7:00a.m allowing for 45mins for zeroing.

2.) Muzzle brakes will be squaded. So, somehow, let me know who will shoot a rifle in this match using a muzzle brake. The more information I have the smoother Jim and Terry can plan the match.

3.) Any equipment may be used with one condition: all of it must be carried from one stage to the next. Pistols will not be fired, but you may holster it, unloaded of course! (Somebody would have asked). Rifle velocity is unlimited.

4.) Time is of the essence. Terry and Jim tell me we will have no time for horse play between stages, so consider this when planning your gear and time required to get it together only to spill it out again at the next stage.
<span style="color: #3333FF">ACCOMMODATIONS:</span>
Comfort Inn at the junction of Bert Kouns Industrial Loop and I-49 on the South edge of Shreveport about 15 mins from the range. Adjacent to the hotel are Wendys and similar places as well as Home Depot, Academy Sports and Starbucks.

Two miles or so east of the hotel (the interstate runs north and south) is a Copelands small-chain seafood / steak restaurant of New Orleans origins. The portions are over the top and dinner is @$20.00+. I recommend, instead of stopping at Copelands, go the the next intersection 400 yds. farther, turn left (north), and in the shopping center on the right is a place called Monjuni's. A local family business, it's good and not chainy. A stone's throw farther north within eyesight are Carrabas and Macaroni Grill.

A good steak is at Anthony's on Mansfield road convenient and not too far, and the Cub on Kings Highway. These are two holes-in-the-wall excellent steak places.

The last chance for a meal is on the way to the range at the turn off of I-49 and LA #175 Frierson Exit. The Relay Station truck stop. Service is you-wonder-where-they-are and the food is a little better than that but it will get you to the range.

To get to the range, keep going Southwest on 175 for about two miles. Turn left at the bill board for the range which is two more miles down that road, and then some. You can't miss it. Call me at 318-572-0559 if you have any trouble or questions anytime.

The best bar is Superior Steakhouse at Line and Pierremont not far from the Comfort Inn. Second choices are the Cub on Kings Highway and Superior Bar & Grill on Line Avenue. The former is a little more relaxed and has billiards too.

Hmmmm....only a 20-something hour drive. I guess that beats going to Utah or California.

You are correct.
 
Re: TerryCross/JimClarkMatchNov 14/15LongRangeAlley

Note the date change to December.

Jim and I are doing this to help jump start these type competitions at Long Range Alley. Neither he nor I are taking any money from the match and are donating our weekend time to run the match events.

Both of us would rather shoot a match than put one on so hopefully, some younger, more enthusastic whipper snappers will grab this and run with it in the future.

Casey will give final details but after expenses (L.R.A. range fees and any prize purchases) most of the entry fees should go back as prize money to the top shooters.

Us doing this was contingent on the match dates not conflicting with any other match, especially the Fall Bash which none of knew had been scheduled yet.

Most of the pre match communication and coordination will be in the capable hands of Casey.

BTW Casey, you somehow started another thread on this. May want to delete that one and refresh this one to avoid confusion to passersby.

Best,
Terry

Re: TerryCross/JimClarkMatchDec 5/6LongRangeAlley

Equipment? Like what?
Range finders and commonly used gear permitted. I will let you guys know of any gear limitations, but if you have somethng specific in mind let me know. Terry and Jim are liberal with the gear.
Pending veto by the range owner the fee will probably be $150.
Two day match.
Up to 200rds rifle.
No pistol.
Lindy, you are welcome to shoot our match?

C-mon Casey, we had to walk by umpteen pistol bays between stages. Why not toss in a pistol stage?

I know you want to try out that new 9mm.

I was thinking the same thing last time.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: BOLTRIPPER</div><div class="ubbcode-body">how far away are the casinos................. </div></div>

The range is right on the interstate, and the casinos are about 25 minutes north, good luck.

So there will be plenty of fast movers then?

Count me in and I'm going to try and drag JRose there too.
 
Re: TerryCross/JimClarkMatchDec 5/6LongRangeAlley

lol!! Mike at least Jason has some time to make a choice between all his Badger 2008 guns to use!!

The Swampkatz might have to hook up with you on the way and caravan!!!
 
Re: TerryCross/JimClarkMatchDec 5/6LongRangeAlley

Gentlemen, I appreciate your enthusiasm. Most know Terry and Jim have alot of experience shooting long range precision and will bring that experience to this sniper challenge on December 5 and 6. We'll be your hosts for a shoot that promises to be among the best weekend shoots. We'll treat you right, and you'll have fun.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: MDShooter</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Sounds great. I think at least half the waffleiron group should be there. </div></div>

Could be a little more than that.

Re: TerryCross/JimClarkMatchDec 5/6LongRangeAlley

I said at least half...plus I didnt say which half. Although I wasnt sure if the rumors of your demise were true. Air still going in and out, blood round and round.
 
Re: TerryCross/JimClarkMatchDec 5/6LongRangeAlley

The lack of vacation time puts me out of the Bash this year, but this match falls on my weekend off so I'm in, thanks for the camping.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Casey Simpson</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The casinos are 30 mins north and actually you could lodge there.</div></div>
Im sure the El Dorado would love me walking into the main lobby next to the casino carrying my rifle and all my tac gear!

Is there any new info on this match (when to sign up)?
Thanks!

Chad

Tell me you didn't drive 5+hrs just to go to Superior in N.O.
 
Re: TerryCross/JimClarkMatchDec 5/6LongRangeAlley

The farthest one may shoot at Long Range Alley is 1k but as far as Terry and Jim's design for the course of fire? Some directors don't let shooters know that until game day but you can be secure knowing you can't shoot farther than 1000yds. They will probably give us some details before the match.
