What is the date of the shoot? You have the time and place but no date. Also, I have a 1946 Belgium 30-06. It had the stock modified in late 60's. Is that ok to shoot or do they have to be all original?

16 June - - - Its in the subject line.

We've been firing "as configured - as issued" for military service.

Check with Mark Long who directs the match about the modified stock.

This sounds like a lot of fun. Will my m-48 Yugo Mauser be acceptable? Can I pay extra for an extra large target so I have a chance of hitting something?

I've only been to the range at Gallatin once, several years ago. Will the gate be open or will I need to wait for a member to show up to let me in?

Thanks,

TK47

Yup, your M48 will be A-OK.

There will be folks coming down to check the gate and let people in around 1200 noon and then off and on until the match begins. Just wait in the parking lot across from the gate.

Come on out.
