Does anyone know if any of the clubs hold Matthew Quigley type match (s) here in the valley?

Mile

Target range is from 350 out to 800 plus yards. I know a few that do have rifles for it. It's on my list for this year. Most are single shot rifles by Shiloh. Nothing like pushing a big boolit long range.

You could hold that at Parma super easy.
Just use the permanent gongs for the first match.
Then go from there depending on level of interest, etc.

If you can get a few guys who are interested in it, I'll put a match together and run it.
Standard Parma match fee is $10, that would all go to the club, not me.


If there is some interest I can put it on the Parma calendar.

those targets are very big.

The Parma gongs are not that big.  I'd want to do a test run.

danno, that's a nice pistol, may not be the right tool for this

I made a few calls, now I'll see what happens. I think it would be a blast to do something like this. Even if it is only if it just a few hundred yards.

04, thank you for doing something like this.

I need several weeks advance notice, but can make this shoot happen.

I have a Browning BPCR and think it would be interesting.  I don't run black powder in it and am not really interested in doing so, though.

Been lurking on this forum for a while now and just came across this thread which forces my first post :P. My neighbor and I would be all over this if it happens. I have a shiloh 45/120 he shoots a pedersoli 45/110.

Off to post in the new members forum ;D
