Schuetzen Information

COLUMBIA SCHUETZENVEREIN 2010

This is a shooting get-together for non-bolt action single-shot rifles using black or smokeless powder. There are classes for 22RF and CF schuetzen-type rifles with "any" sights, and for big-bore (.39+ cal) with iron sights.

Courses of fire include re-entry matches Offhand for score, Benchrest for score, Benchrest for group, and (for big bore) sitting with X-sticks for score. The RF and CF Hudson matches are single entry. 22RF matches are at 100 yd, others at 200 yd. A few novelty matches are offered. The matches are not squadded, i.e., you can come at any time and fire any match on any relay.

The first relay of each day will open fire at approximately 9 AM.

Entry fee is $10/day or $20/3 days, plus $1/target.

All the "per target" entry fees in excess of the actual cost of the targets are returned as prize money. Casual shooters ("tourists") are welcome at the usual guest range fee of $3, plus $1/target.

The range has a paved and covered firing point with 14 benches. Food and beverages will be available at the range. Camping is available for $15.

Driving directions - from the South, take Rte 15 north from Frederick MD about 6 miles to Old Frederick Road. Turn right on OFR for 4.4 miles to Hunt Club Rd.

Observing the 15mph speed limit on the grounds, drive past the club buildings and swimming pool to the rifle range at the bottom of the hill. From the North, take Rte 15 to Emmitsburg and turn left onto OFR. At Creagerstown, there is a "T". Turn left to stay on OFR.
