New FT club in Tulsa Oklahoma

I am excited to announce the Tulsa Gun Club has graciously allowed our local group of FT shooters to develop a range and host FT matches and possibly other disciplines at their club. For exact location, see map at http://www.tulsagunclub.com/

Several of us were at the range today to start cutting lanes in the clubs’ old 3D archery lanes before the rains began. Rick brought his DR brush cutter and made short work wackin’ the weeds and under growth while of the rest of us layed out lanes and moved the cut brush. The area we have been given is HUGE! One of the challenges we met right off was where to put the lanes! We can go here, we can go there, we can go everywhere! Fifteen lanes? Easy.. Thirty lanes? No problem! But we quickly came to our senses and settled on just doing fifteen for the time being. The Tulsa Gun Club is going to put a culvert in a nearby creek so we can easily traverse over and utilize even more ground if need be. While we still have a lot to do, we have an enthusiastic group of guys that are getting it done.
We will be posting updates and more pics as we continue to grow the sport here in the Midwest.

What we know and can tell you about it so far:

The club will be known as TAG (Tulsa AirGuns) of Tulsa.

TAG will be an AAFTA sanctioned club.

The matches will be 60 shot and will be held on the second Saturday of each month with starting times (TBA) varying with season temperatures (as a lot of clubs do). These start times will be posted in the AGN calendar as well on the Tulsa Gun Club’s website soon.

All the lanes are wooded with even more land for additional lanes in the future.

Targets are a variety of custom, high quality manufactured AAFTA field targets.

A field house with a shelter and picnic tables below.

Plenty of free parking including RV parking and picnic area

Easy highway access.

Minutes from Tulsa International Airport.

We have friends who live very close, but they have a 30 cal and a 22 cricket....Any chance you will put on EFT matches also in the future?

Hey Tony!
Let me say the area has excellent potential for many air gun disciplines, EFT being one of them. As with most start ups like this, cash flow and manpower are one of the many hurdles.
Stay Tuned!
 
Slow and steady. You can’t do it all at once. Every time you shoot a match on the range you built you will see things. You will be shooting on a lane you think is maxed out on potential and then think “what if I rigged up some sort of 15’ tall tower and put it up on top of the hill?”. It takes a few years to come up with ideas and fund them. For me that was the most enjoyable part of FT. Starting a FT club/range is a lot of work. People show up and shoot and really don’t realize the amount of time (and thought) it took. I was kind of solo in the beginning. I didn’t shoot a lot of the neighboring matches as I was physically working on my range when the other matches were being shot. I enjoyed every minute of it. I was always quite honored to see all these people, who became my friends, drive from all over to shoot at my match.
 
Come on out and have fun and enjoy the camaraderie!
We try very hard to keep everyone informed on the happenings of the Tulsa Club. But as we continue to grow, the club operations can be a little fluid.
The quickest and best way to be up to speed is to reach out to Curtis @ [email protected] and have him put you on our mailing list.

We also have our matches posted on the calendar found here on the AGN information too.

I will typically post pertinent information about an upcoming match in the Field Target tab here the week before the match.
You are also welcome to send me a PM if you any questions about any aspects of field target shooting, the match or the club. Happy to help in any way.

We have a Facebook page, Tulsa Airgun Club I also post on the AAFTA Facebook page too. And I’m working on a Instagram page. All in due time.

And yes, we will have our next match November 9th. The plan for this match is a sixty shot match as normal but with three targets per lane, two shots per targets, ten lanes. There will not be a standing or kneeling lane but with a slightly higher Troyer.


There has been discussions about having matches throughout the winter months (hey, it’s been 70 degrees in January before!) providing the weather is permissible. We’ll make an announcement soon about what will dictate having a match. Getting on the mailing list is a sure fire way of being one of the first to know.

BTW, the Republic of Texas shown above has been canceled.
