Memorial Day Match May 25

For the past 2 years we have run a fund-raising match at the Santa Clara Field Sports Park Metcalf Range to benefit our disabled veterans. Last year we more than doubled the amount of funds raised for them, taking in around $4,000.  We called it the "Purple XXXXX Match," in honor of those disabled veterans - a name which gained recognition as a very worthwhile event to participate in. Organizations that had never participated before have been contacting me requesting information on the XXXXX Heart Match.

However, a member of another veterans group named something like "Order of the Purple XXXXX" got his XXXXX panties in a XXXXX knot because he believes they have some sort of proprietary patent on the name "Purple XXXXX."  The organization sent a lawyers' letter threatening court action if we continued using the "XXXX-XXXXX" name.

We are still running the same worthwhile match, but it's now called the "Memorial Day Match" - due to the patriotism of the members of the Coyote Valley Sharpshooters who gave up their 4th Saturday range day, and we will conduct it on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend.
 
The match bulletin for the 2013 Memorial Day Match which will be conducted on 25 May at the Santa Clara County Field Sports Park 200 Yard Range beginning at 8:00 am. The match is the same as last year: International Prone rules, 3 minute preparation period, 5 minutes for unlimited sighters, and 25 minutes for 20 scoring rounds. Two classes have been added: Cowboy and Optical Cowboy. The entry fee is only $20, and lunch is free. There will also be the traditional raffle and a silent auction, and this year's top prize will be a sporterized M1917 Enfield with scope mounts.
