More 50 Cal matches

[5.56]

I have been working on bringing the East Coast into the realm of 50 cal. match shooting more than twice a year.

Camp Perry is scheduled now for Sept 12-14, I am working on the last details to get a match at Fort Knox, KY. They have a 1,000 yard range with a 10 position Pitt. That means we can put on a sanctioned match there as well.

The east is coming alive for places to have fun and compete with your .50 cal rifles.

I will be looking at Camp Grayling, MI as well as a couple of ranges in PA. Pa may take a bit more work but it will be worth the effort if we are successfull.

Let's get the ranges up and running for 50 cal matches.

If I could afford to, I'd like to do more than applaud this

But since for now I can't, I'll just restate the obvious: However little the 2d amendment has to do with "sporting" (and in this case, the little is a little zero), the fact is that the empty argument about "need" and "sporting purposes" holds sway among many members of the public, dare I say among people you know and work with

Therefor, every "sporting" event involving .50 caliber anythings (incl. muskets, for New Jersey ) is a good thing that puts the lie to claims that such things "have no sporting purpose."

That argument may be irrelevant (it is), illogical (surely), and other words that begin with i (sadly, not the standard spelling for "asinine"), but I'd also rather it be flagrantly, transparently, uncontrovertably false to anyone who examines its truth, rather than just stupid

(If there was exactly one .50 cal gun in the world, and it was intended only for stress-testing industrial materials, it could *still* have a sporting purpose, if it was ever so employed. If there were two, and their owners used them even once for a competitive match, there's a "sporting purpose." People who insist on a "sporting purpose" of a sort which they themselves would accept as being sufficiently "sporting" sound to me like people who wouldn't like others to have books that aren't "decent books for decent folks" in *their* opinion. But they're out there, and sometimes their busybody, authority-worshipping selves twist the minds of ordinarily reasonable or simply undecided people around them.)

So if you can afford such a beast, I hope you can take your leftover pennies and shoot in one of the matches here described
