2016 Illinois State Muster
[/b
]The Division of Illinois is proud to announce the GAF State Muster for 2016. This action will occur at the Good Guys Posse Dry Gulch Ranch Range in Winnebago, IL on Sunday 29 May 2016. Location information: 10573 Telegraph Rd. Winnebago, IL
www.goodguysposse.org The theme of the May muster will be Close Quarter Combat. You should expect to engage the enemy with bayonet, knife and saber. These weapons will be supplied if they are not in your personal arsenal. These three stages will be at closer range than previous musters, but you should not have the expectation that the targets will be larger.
An additional stage will be a “Squad Shoot.” The troops present will be assigned to a Squad and deliver massive fire to an individual target until said target is obliterated. Squads will be divided equally by type of long gun used by the trooper.
If you have questions get a hold of me at shamrockgannon@live.com or 217/722-8512 Gun carts will be allowed at this muster because there are no provisions for stacking firearms. Hearing protection and side shields/wrap around safety glasses are required for anyone on the range. SASS safety rules will apply. The muster is shot with a rifle and one pistol. Bring a second revolver, because it will be required for one stage. Pistols will be shot “dualist.” Uniforms not required. SASS legal pistols and rifles .38 caliber and larger can be utilized. Categories based on GAF Battle rifle standards. Pre-registration isn’t required but appreciated by the Mess Sergeant so the amount of food needed can be determined for the noon mess (lunch). Registration at 0800 – Safety Meeting at 0845 – Muster begins at 0900 – Lunch at 1230
Regards,
Col. Pat "Shamrock" Gannon (Ret.) Division of Illinois
