Hey Folks,
It’s time to start thinking about Camp Perry 2010. Sure it is. No really, I mean it. The reason I say this is that getting housing reservations together can be problematical and expensive, and we like to get it tied up early. Well, I know it’s real early, but I would like to get our reservations in BEFORE CHRISTMAS. And I’d really like to know from you NOW if you are seriously contemplating going next year.
Below is the CMP schedule for 2010. If you’ve never been to the National Matches, it is a good idea to go to Small Arms Firing School (SAFS) and shoot in the M16 Match. Of course, being an Osage Orange Sharpshooter, you will want to shoot in the Springfield and Garand matches, and who knows what in between.
Les Welch will start a discussion on one of the matches we shoot at the end of the week (the National Trophy Infantry Team Match or NTIT or ITT, also known as the Rattle Battle). This is a 6 man, rapid-fire event…we intend to shoot it in 2010 with M1 Garands. It will require commitment and practice. Interested?
Last year our lodging cost $139 per person–total for 8 nights, and you can’t beat that. And we won’t. Arriving last, at 10pm Saturday night, I got the last bed, a rollaway, and it was a substitute for a bed of nails. We won’t do that again. What we will do is reserve another unit sleeping 4 guys, and you can expect to pay $200-$220 to cover the 8 nights. Just so you know, you’re paying more so I can have a decent bed. Seems fair to me. We stay at Beach Cliff Lodge, and I think all of us agree, it’s a great place:
So, let me know if you are thinking about it so we can get ahead of the game on reservations. I’ll put this in as an ‘Event’ on the oostalk.ning.com web page, and you can put your comments there. Or, email me at williamcorcoran@missouristate.edu
