A long range artillery competition fit for everybody. The public is welcome to come and spectate the event. For our long range artillery shoot. We seek to pull quality artillerists together to enjoy our sport, fellowship and camaraderie. We have a spectacular site, located in southeast Tennessee. It is just northwest of Chattanooga. The site will allow us to shoot out to 1000 Yards. It is very safe, with a Mountain rising 1000 plus feet as the backstop. It is free of buildings for several miles. Our 2019 shoot was a great success. We had 25 Guns attend. We enjoyed good fellowship and made some new friends. We hope to build on the lessons we learned form the 1st and 2nd shoot to make 2020 even better. Course of Fire: Friday April 3rd will be a non-public experimental round.
