Shot My First FT Match

[MOSOSODBOB]

Tacoma Rifle and Revolver Club (University Place, WA) hosted its second FT match of the 2023 season today. I got to shoot this match and finally learned what it is like. Got lots of good pointers from the experienced club members and other shooters at this match.

Thanks to Dave Brown for all the efforts in organizing and the pre-match prep work needed to put this event on.

If anyone in the Tacoma Washington area want to shoot in a very professionally and competently conducted match, contact Dave via email: [email protected]

Good for you.
Tell Dave

Don't know if he remembers me. I started with an Air Arms 410, then a RWS 54, then a Beeman R9. This was all back in 2002...(I didn't shoot all those in one year...these guns were spread out over ...a 5 year span).

That looks fun.

If it wasn't a 5-/12 hour drive each way I would absolutely be there.
Used to shoot at the TVA, Huntsville good ole boy's aka Play Ground of Champions at Roz's Hollow & Invecta in Miner Hill TN (and Wilder Stephens -SP?) . TN was an airgun meca. Spokane actually was a leading FT area for years but no more. Thought about setting up the property but dont think there are 2 shooters on the side of the State.
Glad you got to go, FT is about as much fun as you can legally have.

I grew up around Tacoma I wish I was into this hobby when I lived there! Now I'm in the same boat as Spysir, living in central Oregon makes that 6 hour drive more daunting. I will probably still have to make the drive up there to check it out.

this is why there are motels , or camping , even a 2 hour nap in a rest area works, although my wife said " your 78 , no more naps. get a motel ." yes dear !

TR&R! We were members in the mid-1960s -- when there was still open land and scotch broom between Fircrest, Lakewood and University Place! When the weather is lovely, there is no nicer place on the West Coast. What a great FT venue.

It really is a nice facility. A lot of effort is put into the matches and David does a great job. AND, his wonderful wife ALWAYS has plenty of goodies and drinks for everybody! I drive up from Portland to enjoy the matches.
