The
Senior Olympic Shooting Event was started by the Mississippi State Firearm
Owners Association in 2004. We designed the course of fire to allow the
use of regular sporting firearms, in lieu of any expensive specialized
firearms used in target shooting. Most of the firearms used in this event
are owned by many of the hunters and hobbyists in our State.
In
addition to the firearms being owned by the shooters, our gun club owns
five Ruger 10/22 rifles and four Ruger Mark III pistols. These are
available for loan to people shooting in this event. We also have .22 rf
Centurion HV ammo for sale at cost for this match. Centurion ammo is a LOT
better than brands available at many local outlets.
The
Air Pistol event was included this year because we needed to have one
event that is included in the Olympic Games. The air pistol event
will be fired indoors, in an air conditioned building. Our club has
several match grade air pistols and they will be available as loaners.
High grade pellets will be available at $.01 each.
Shooters
from other States will be recognized with an out of State Award. Men and
Women will have their own category.
If
you can't read my file, let me know and I will send it another
way.
The
$20.00 fee from the MS Senior Games Committee includes the price of a
banquet in Jackson on the weekend of May 16. Representatives of the MS
Senior Games will have info on the banquet.
People
under 50 years old can attend but their scores will not be sent to the MS
Senior Games Committee.
