Re: Louisiana Tactical Rifle Match
Gentlemen:
Thanks for the interest. Here are my thoughts:
Setting up a match requires a location, lots of time in planning and setup, not to mention targets, insurance, etc. It is a daunting task that while rewarding, does not allow the match director to participate / compete in the match. Because of this reason, I believe the true supporters / shooters of this style of match are hesitant to host one and the costs can be prohibitive. So, here is what I propose:
I would like to form a team/club of twelve (12) members. As a whole, this group would organize the business end of the matches; Finances, Sponsors, ROs, etc. This group would be divided into 4 teams of 3 members. Each 3 member team would be responsible for designing stages and running 1 of a total of 4 matches per year in Louisiana. The team that runs the match will not be able to shoot in that match, but will be able to shoot in the other 3 matches. For the first year, there will be a financial requirement (not yet determined) of the twelve member group to purchase the targets, supplies required for this endeavor. The benefit of this contribution is the guaranteed participation in 3 matches per year for FREE. The remaining revenues required for the first and subsequent years will come from the match participants who are not club members. The location in mind can support at least fifty (50) match participants.
The beauty of this club is that the insurance and legal issues will be set for the year. Once the targets are acquired, they can be securely stored at the range. Both of these benefits will greatly reduce the burden of hosting a match. The other, and most important benefit in my opinion, is the opportunity to compete 4 times per year in Louisiana!
If you would like to be a part of this group, there will be a commitment of time, resources and money. These commitments will be greatest for the first year, but will be reduced dramatically for year two (2) and beyond. Being said, please email me at
