IT'S BACK!!! ROT 2023 Announcement

Save the date!!! The Republic of Texas GP Match is back!!!

This will be a 3 day Rifle and Pistol Field Target GP Match held in Mansfield Texas at the Arlington Sportsmans Club November 17th-19th.

As usual, the Pistol match will be Friday afternoon and the Rifle match will be Saturday and Sunday.

Because the match will be after the Nationals, GP points will count towards the 2024 season, not 2023. In other words, this isn't the last GP match of this year, it's the first GP match of next year.

More details with price, registration link, etc are coming.

Nice medals Jeff!

I noticed the absence of several names that often show up on the score boards around the state. Just for example and certainly not all inclusive: Derrick W, John T, Rick C, Caleb D, Dave C, Shepard M, Kevin M, etc. Perhaps you could single them out with spam campaigns until they relent and sign up?

As someone who is signed up for Hunter PCP, please don't tell those guys. I'm going to see Derrick this afternoon, I plan to give him the wrong dates for ROT.

I unfortunately will not be able to make it. My wife and I are taking my son to see Monster trucks that same weekend for his birthday.
