Gallatin Gun November match, Range news

[rstandley]

Gallatin gun will host a bug match on November 13. 50 rounds min, only 5 rounds in gun, reloads off the clock, no draws from holster. We will have a IDPA style rifle match after the bug match, no extra charge.

Other range news; We have started range improvements. The roads are being repaired, old buildings are being torn down and removed, new storage will replace the old ones, The rifle range will be extended out to 300 yrds. The dirt from this project will be used to raise and lengthen the pistol bays and two more bays will be created behind bays 1 and 2 giving us 5 pistol bays. Bays 4 and 5 will be 50 yrds deep. A much inproved shoot house will be built in bay 4. A rifle only match will be on the schedule for next year.

See what you started Gary. With 5 bays i can have a really nice match now. I have thought about starting at the 100 yrd berm and having some really long range shots.

Current Info: Range open this weekend. Closed for more work on the berm on Monday though Wednesday.

We are working on the berm project through Friday. TVA stepped in and changed some things and put us behind. The old target shed is gone, that area is parking now. New shed will be off to the side. The back rifle berm is at 304 yards now and about 4 feet lower. The pistol berms are 25 yards deep, bay one has a new safety berm at the road end and the service road has be moved over and trees pushed back. Bays 4 & 5 are roughed in and ready for finish grading. they are 18x50 yrds. The bad news is the new drain pipe on the entry road will need lowered to meet TVA requirements. That means at least a full day of work because the material is hard as a rock and the water line will have to be moved.
