All 2012 Challenges are at the TCMSA Kahlotus Range on the Pasco-Kahlotus Highway unless otherwise noted.

You have been invited to a Three Gun Challenge at the Tri-Cities Metallic Silhouette Associations Kahlotus Range. This event is being hosted by the TCMSA. The ammunition, firearms, targets and timers are brought to you by the Touchet Gun Club. This equipment was purchased through a Friends of NRA Grant.

Location: Pasco-Kahlotus Road, Pasco, WA
Entrance Fee: $10
Prizes: First Place, Second Place, Third Place.

Sample Course of Fire
Pistol Station-15 yards, 9 eight inch targets, six 6 inch targets
Shotgun Station-18 yards, ten 8 inch targets and three aerial clays
Rifle Station-90 yards, six 10 inch targets, six 5 inch targets.

Penalties

Two missed targets: 20 seconds
Three missed targets: 30 seconds
Four missed targets: 40 seconds
Five missed targets: 50 seconds
Six missed targets: 60 seconds

Please let me know if you can make it, and how many will be attending.

We will try to be at the range by 8AM and hopefully be setup shortly after 9AM. If you can assist, please show up early.

We will be taking pictures and possibly videotaping. Please bring a camera if you want to take your own pictures.

This is a fairly informal event. You do not need any prior experience with competitive matches to have a good time. Safety first, followed by fun. Most of us are still pretty new to this so your suggestions are welcome. We really appreciate your attendance.

In reality it is sometimes more of a social event than it is a competition. Think of it kind of like you invited all of your gun nut friends over for a picnic and everyone forgot to bring food.

This is a run what you brung match. No rimfire, 50 calibers, and no armor piercing rounds (there will be a magnet test, and we will have to disqualify the .22-250 and .204 as they can be known to pierce metal targets at 100 yards.)

Other than that, pretty much any centerfire firearms will work. Open sights, scopes, and electronic are all OK.

The Touchet Gun Club will provide a .223 rifle, 9mm handgun, and a 12 gauge shotgun if you do not have a firearm that you want to compete with. Our newest grant also provided ammunition for these firearms. No steel case ammo is to be used in the TGC guns which are available for use.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact Mark Perkins (mark@perkinsfamily.org).

Thank you!
