PLEASE RSVP SO WE CAN PLAN ON FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gentlemen and Ladies:

The 2019 Alaska double rifle shoot is planned for May 4 and the range reserved. The good news is we are back at Birchwood! The Mat Su Range was wonderful in they accommodated us when Birchwood cancelled in 2018 but there was just not enough room. You may remember the rifles on tables and my rifles on my tailgate. If it had been raining we would have been in a jam. Also, with so many nice rifles to our back security was a question.

So, here are the details for 2019:

Place is the Birchwood Range at the north Birchwood exit off the Glenn Highway, a few miles east of Eagle River.

Shooting begins at 10am with a few locals and regulars showing up at 8am to set up.

The range is paid for and reserved so there is no range fee to be collected by the range officer but we would like to ask those in attendance to contribute 10$ to reserve the range for 2020. Any extra will be donated for food.

And, speaking of food, can we rely on the two five-star chefs, J&J’s catering service where the finest dishes are delivered in a pickup camper?

As always, all are welcome, we feed you, and we don’t charge for ammunition. Come and enjoy yourselves. One or more overseas guests are expected as well as several from the flatlands of the Lower 48 states.

Please RSVP so we can plan on food based on attendance.
