Itasca Gun Club Special Events

These special events are open to all, both members and the public.  Most of them are one-day events and can be found on the calendar.  Any special events that we hold are due to the work of interested and dedicated volunteers.  

D Day Match - This is a competitive match to commemorate D Day and those who fought in the invasion.  It's held on the Sunday nearest D Day.  There are two actual matches, the morning match using bolt action wood stocked military rifles pre-1950.  The afternoon match is for wood stocked military autoloading rifles.  The courses of fire are listed on the calendar and on our D Day page.  

This is a social event as well as a match, and anyone willing to display WWII equipment, clothing or other paraphernalia can set it up to share. 

Battle of the Bulge shoot - This event is held as close as possible to December 16th.  It's not a formal match, but a social gathering and time to "send a few shots downrange."  The woodstove in the range shack will be lit. As with the D Day match, this is a good time to share/display period memorabilia and remember some important history.  

Other special events will be added to this page as they come up.  In the past we've had lever action and muzzleloader matches, and other matches honoring historical events.
