Is there any interest in 100 yard Swiss rifle matches in the eastern PA, (USA) region? I ask as I have a chance to put forward the idea to my local CMP club and prior to making a formal proposal I would like to gauge the interest. The program would be fired at 300 meter targets scaled for 91.4 meters. The program would be identical to those conducted at the regular Swiss matches. Certain matches would have metals and certificates handed out according to the current Swiss scores, but these would not be actual Swiss sanctioned metals, just club level.
Preliminary work had been completed on targets that are correctly scaled relative to the real targets, have the correct colors and also have suitable bottom cutoff to allow for both 100 yard zero and 300 meter rifle zero. The matches would be run on the 4th Saturday of every month, after our regular CMP rifle matches. The course of fire would alternate between the Obligatory, field shoot and match shoot course of fire.
The cost would be moderate, on the order of 5~7 dollars for a regular match, depending on the cost of the targets (They need to be in color), scorebooks and metals/certificates. The club does not seek to make money off of the shoots, but is looking to offer another event that will bring together like minded shooters in an area currently not served by any clubs.
Our rifle club is located in Bucks County, PA just off of route 202. It is within an hour commute of most of New Jersey, northern Delaware and PA east of Reading PA. If anyone from PA or New Jersey would be interested in such a program let me know.Information
