The Random Ramblings Of An Airgun Addict

I am going to be leaving for Baton Rouge this afternoon to shoot in the Cajun Classic field target match. The Cajuns, as it has become to be known, is one of the premier field target matches held each year. The Kirkendolls, Juneaus and the other BAC members put on a first class match every year. Even if you aren't a great FT shooter, this match is worth the going just to eat the food they provide at the match and in the Baton Rouge area.

Baton Rouge is about a 7 hour drive from Huntsville, where I live, so I like to leave in the afternoon and listen to talk radio and enjoy the drive. I usually get there on Thursday so I can spend the day on Friday at the range. I enjoy the practice day before the match as much as the actual match itself. It is a time to shoot my airguns as well as others and see all the members of my airgunning family. We talk about old times, airguns, politics and just about everything else that old friends talk about.


The match itself has gone to a two course, two match format. I like this format, we shoot 50 shots each day on 13 lanes. It allows for us to finish both days with time to eat and have time after the match for other activities or getting on the road back home.

The weather is predicted to be wonderful so this years match should follow in a long line of great matches at Baton Rouge and I for one am going to enjoy it! See you all on Monday.
