Due to the main focus of this site on the collecting and shooting
of C&R and military surplus firearms in their collectible original configurations,
sporterizing topics (ex. "how-to sporterize", or "hey, check out my cool sporter") will not be permitted in these fourms.

Here is local information if you are planning to come to the event.
Cut Bank Information http://www.city-data.com/city/Cut-Bank-Montana.html http://www.cutbankchamber.com/ http://maps.google.com/ma...&split=0&z=14&iwloc=addr http://hotel-guides.us/mo.../cut-bank-mt-hotels.html http://www.rvparkreviews....ns/Montana/Cut_Bank.html http://www.mytravelguide....ut_Bank_restaurants.html Other nearby towns are Shelby, 35 miles, Conrad 50 miles and Valier 25 miles. Valier may have some bed and breakfast but no motels. Here is a Google Map to the Range. The range doesn't look like that now, and won't look like it does now in June. http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=h&ll=48.680435,-112.229912&spn=0.007225,0.019226&z=16 A Long discussion post can be found at Montana Victorian Rifleman Playday |

Here's the directions to the range.
First follow your map-GPS-instinct to Cut Bank MT. From the EAST (I-15-Shelby) Go to the traffic light and turn right-north .
From the WEST go to the traffic light and turn left-north.
From the NORTH, if you see this, stop and turn around and go back North, you missed the first turn.
From the traffic light go north 2.3 miles to Lahr Road. Olson Road is on the left, west. Lahr Road is on the right east.
If you are coming from the North this is where you should have turned instead of going on into town. Lahr Road is on the left, east. Olson Road is on the right west.
Turn East on Lahr Road.
Go 3 miles east on Lahr Road to the T intersection with Meadowbrook Road.
Turn left-north on Meadowbrook Road and go 1 mile to Hope Road.
Turn right-east on Hope road and go 1 mile to the Cut Bank Sportsman Club.

Demographics.
2 Countries, 3states, 2 provinces and 2 Montana counties represented. Firearms results Provincial Rifle Breandlin Carbine.....577/450.....72 slow fire.....42 Mad Minute Westley Richards Improved.....450 Carbine 1 1/2.....50 slow fire.....25 Mad minute Westley Richards Volunteer MH.....577/450.....35 Slow fire.....10 Mad Minute MLE......303.....32 Slow Fire.....2 Mad Minute MH MKII.....577/450.....25 Slow Fire.....21 Mad Minute MH.....577/450.....14 Slow Fire.....5 Mad Minute DAW Small Greener Martini Pattern.....360 #5.....8 Slow fire.....3 Mad minute Handgun Remington M-1858.....44 cal.....25 Webley WG.....455.....69 Broomhandle Mauser.....9mm.....69 Webley WG.....455.....63 Broomhandle Mauser.....9mm.....58 Lessons learned. The Montana match date was selected purposely for weekend following the Alberta Shoot. The reasoning that shooters would be able to make the long trip to the area attend two shoots and tour the area. Only one shooter took advantage off that idea. In reality having back to back shoots probably made it more difficult for those in the area to attend. Next year if there is a Montana shoot...that's a big if, it will not be a back to back. Most likely it will be in August. That will give us a breather between matches. |
