Well john, I'm glad you asked. The range that Jefferson State Schuetzen Society shoots at is a very busy range. They conduct matches for all popular shooting disciplines.
I checked into it last year and there are not any two day or more dates available at the only range that could hold such a event (The High Power range). Our club shoots on a range that was built for slug gunners, some time before 1975 and there are only 10 shooting benches.
At the time that I first started the club, I had a 3 day ASSRA match, reserved and schueled in July.
I ran it all by myself, Match anouncements, collecting prizes, scoring, match results and setting up the range. Plus all the other little things that come with doing a larger match. I was also VP and Treasurer and attended the range, monthly board meetings. During one of those matches (1993), Jim Feren set the still standing 100 shot OH record score. He came 2 years in a row and set the record the second year, I believe he did that right after he set one of his other 7 records at the Modesto range.
He didn't know me from anyone. Do you know how I got him to come? I called him and I offered a $100 first place prize for the 100 shot, OH Hudson Match. $50 was my own personal money and $50 was the clubs.
"Build it and they will come!"
