We will be using the unique terrain for the target placement. Most of the shots will be in the woods, and there are a lot of hills. This will be a 40 shot match. Cost $10 adult, $5 youth with paying adult.

The club is located just South of Terre Haute.

Welcome to hosting matches and good luck. I hope you have a good start and increasing membership.

Indiana has needed a club for awhile now. Do you guys have a website or any other information about the group?

not sure how far Columbus, Ohio is from you? Maybe a trip will be in order next summer!



Good luck on your first match.

Thanks for the look. Columbus would be a bit of a drive, but I-70 will take you all the way. We are on the far side of Indiana near the Illinois border. I will look forward to meeting you next year. I hope to have a few matches next year if all goes well.

As far as Field target at the club, right now it is mainly just me. We had a little in club match a couple weeks ago, mainly so I could see how much work it was going to be. We had 5 shooters, and two guys that had to miss (work, sickness). For all of us, it was the first time. Everyone seemed to have a good time, so I decided I want to do it again, and maybe offer it up to those outside the club. I am sure I can learn more from guys that have shot it before. 

The club website is: www.rileycc.com

Most of the club activities revolve around the action pistol stuff, and silhouette. I have been running 10m indoor in the winters for quite some time now. The club also hosts the local 4H shooting sports as well.

I just really got into the airguns as an addition to the 10m shooting. Reading the forums, and watching Ted. 

Enjoy.

FANTASTIC!!! Count me in! I had no idea there were others here that shoot Air Rifle. I live in Clinton myself. I would love it if we had a club that liked HFT near me. I've only shot one event ever. That was the Pyramid Air Cup 2018 (HFT springer class). Now I'm hooked! Still working out the kinks of my setup.

Just a Reminder,

Less than 1 week to go. Weather looks interesting. We should be able to get it in.

Look forward to anyone interested in trying this out. I went to a match this past weekend and learned a lot.

Enjoy!

Report from FT at The Riley Conservation Club near Terre Haute, Indiana: What a wonderful day for a shoot in a scenic location located at the site of an old coal mine. The terrain was very rough deep in some heavy woods making for some extremely challenging distance judgement calls. There were shots over water and shots almost straight down. In the rugged woods it was a challenge at times to see your target among the dead-falls. That was cool! All in all it was one of the finest layouts for a competition I could ever imagine. Brian, our host for the event was super organized. The warm up area was well equipped with targets from 10 to 40 yards. The only downside to the day (but wasn't really) is the forecast was for a cold and windy day which kept almost everyone away. The Temps turned out to be perfect and the wind stayed away as we were deep in the woods. This should be a lesson to all those who listened to the forecast and stayed home. I hope they get a second chance to come to another (this was first ever) FT event at The Riley Conservation Club. Thanks Brian for all your hard work. It really paid off for me. I really enjoyed every aspect of this shoot.
