I would like to announce that I will be hosting an additional monthly Smallbore and Fifth Scale match in Louisiana at a new location in the northern part of our state. Saline Creek Silhouette will offer a limited schedule for 2015 and is located in Goldonna, LA. We will shoot on the third weekend of the month starting in March and continuing through June. The facility I have available is a very basic configuration with only one bank of targets at each distance which will be in yards in an effort to duplicate our Gonzales facility which is also in yards. I will initially offer this as a two day event to accommodate the most people possible. I have had some people request a Saturday match and others prefer Sunday. Since I am now retired and have the time, I will try the two day event which may also have the added benefit of a slower pace for myself by spreading the work load over two days. I plan to have a covered firing line and shooting platforms.

I am continuing my effort to acquire a new larger facility near this area of the state so that we can again begin to offer Big Bore matches in Louisiana. The search continues and I will provide updates as information becomes available.

It has been a lot of work, but Saline Creek Silhouette is ready to go for our 2015 season. Our schedule is as follows.

March 21 & 22
April 18 & 19
May 16 & 17
June 20 & 21

looks great Charlie. hope I will be able to make it there sometime in the future. allen

Congrats Charlie, mighty fine work in putting together this new range.

Looking good. That white background really makes the targets pop out.

Thanks guys. The white plates behind the targets was really a must. Being under a heavy tree canopy means varying areas of shade and sun which change all day long. Without the plates, sometimes you see the targets and sometimes they disappear. I tried various color combinations and observed at all hours of the day. This system was the clear choice for this location.

I don't know if I could shoot there. It looks so peaceful and serene I would probably want to take a nap but the noise from the shooting would probably keep me awake. We had a small 22/FP range like that here in OH, but no trees, and it was a fun place to shoot. A one man operation though so it didn't last very long. Too bad these small ranges don't get their just desserts. Hope this one goes. It looks great. I know HS will do his best.
