The date is set (June 18th-21st 2015) and the website is updated .Lots of new stuff this year. The MRC boys are adding a 4th day to the shoot. Main event is still Sat and Sun. Open shooting on Thursday and Friday. The pigeon ring is being updated and it sound like a hoot.
New side events are under development. I will sponsor the Flurry again this year and it will be shot on Friday. Be sure to stick around Friday afternoon for show and tell and a cook out BYOM(Bring your own meat). Bring your favorite shooting iron or something odd and unusual to show around. A double rifle demo is also in the works. Also new this year is the Makers Challenge. When you shoot Clays on Saturday be sure to put down the make of the gun you are shooting. The 6 highest scores from each maker will be added up. The highest total will determine the winners. MRC will provide space this year for collector organizations to display free of charge.

For more info and to apply go to http://mrcsportsmansclub.com


See you all there!!

Will there be score keepers at each & every station on Saturday for Makers Challenge? It was talked that a certain makers team cheated for the win at a self scoring shoot in the east last year. Score keepers keep every one honest.

OJ no score keepers needed. The G.N. shooters are Ladies and Gentlemen of the highest order.

Mark is quite correct it is a weekend of great fellowship and the great good fun of shooting with like minded shooters of guns with the correct barrel orientation. MKII

Gentlemen of highest order were also at east shoot last year. One more question, will shooters be identified by name or number?

If you mean when the scores are posted on the website after the shoot: the tradition has always been that scores are posted by shooter number. But if you're there, you will know who was high gun. That'll be the individual who walks up and takes first pick from the prize guns. The other guns are awarded via the Lewis Class system, which means that even if you don't shoot very well, you still have a chance to win a gun. (I've come very close a couple times--not to being high gun, but to winning a Lewis class. My astrologer tells me this is my year!)

Another good thing about awarding prizes via Lewis: Even with self-scoring, people are less likely to cheat. (And it isn't really self-scoring. You're part of a squad, and you have a fellow squad member recording hits and misses when you shoot. And the squad makes the determination if there's any question of a hit or a miss.) But an extra target here or there would make no difference, unless you're one of the few contending for high gun. Give yourself an extra target, you might end up at the bottom of the next higher Lewis class instead of at the top of the lower one.

Really great event!

MRC runs a great shoot, and every year they make improvements.
I would like to encourage all interested in vintage SXS to look at their web site, better yet drive over and see what all the smiling is all about.
