Free State Match #1

Be sure to read the main Free State Match page for important information
Save the World
We know there's not much hope for Liberty in Our Lifetime if the planet is overrun by destructive, pestiferous creatures. No, not socialists, statists, and egalitarians, but zombies, alien invaders and vicious predators from beyond our world. Do your part to save the planet by practicing these world-defense skills.
- The zombie run. A slow fire exercise. Zombies don't move quickly but you do have to hit them in the head to put an end to their nefarious un-dead activities.
- The alien run. As these small green creatures move a little faster, this Course Of Fire has more of a time limit. The heads are quite a bit larger than we see on most earthlings, so they're easier to hit on the move.
- The predator run. This has double the shots, because it's so much harder to put one of these beasts down (though don't try to roast one afterwards, as I understand it, they don't taste like chicken).
So have fun, be safe, and let's make the world safe for... safety.

For simplicity we'll be using standard off-the-shelf targets for this match. You should be able to get them at most sporting goods stores or ranges. If you absolutely can't find them, drop me a line and I'll send you some. [pdenisch@freestateproject.org] Or try (pistoleer.com) The A-14(TQ-4(P)) is the NRA 100yd Small Bore Rifle target (single bull). The B-10(TQ-7) is the NRA 25ft Timed and Rapid Fire Pistol target. We'll try to be more creative on the next match with downloadble 8½x11 targets that will be easier to mail (or better still, to scan and email in).

Free State Match Shooting Competition

Don't just stand there.
The gauntlet has been thrown down, you've been slapped in the face with a leather glove, your mother's virtue has been questioned - a challenge has been issued.
Are you man, woman, or porc enough to triumph in this tournament with nerves like carbide steel, hearts like a blast furnace, and a face full of smiles?

Join us in a shooting match.
Follow the links below to the active match, then lead the way with your aiming prowess. Shoot the match at your local range then send your targets in and may the best porc win (prizes, fame, fortune, etc.) A different course of fire with multiple categories every time will keep things interesting.

So whether you think you're The Waco Kid, Joe Kidd, or Billy The Kid, join us for the Free State Match, it'll be fun, (no kiddin').

    Miscalanious, mescalanioos, er, assorted notes:
  • Submit targets to: Free State Match, 9613-C Harford Rd, Unit 223, Baltimore MD 21234. Include the following information on each target: Name, email address, match number, category number, and run name.
  • If a bullet hole, not secondary paper tear, touches a scoring ring, the next higher score is assigned.
  • Email addresses will be used for identification. If more than one person uses the same email address, please let me know so I can keep track of things.
  • As I am unable to participate (Like they say; it doesn't matter who shoots, it matters who does the scoring), my score will be the STB (Score To Beat). Everyone who scores higher than me will get a small, cheap, inconsequential prize and a glaring, evil-eye, look. :)
  • The word, probitas, in the logo means honesty. I expect everyone to be honest (scores higher than mine are, of course, immediately suspect :) Remember, the Eye of the Porc is upon you (either that, or it's Big Brother)
  • The main purpose of these matches is to have fun. Anyone not exhibiting a jolly, or at least a pleasant demeanor will be sent to room 010. It's kinda like room 101, but you're tickled until you say, and really mean it, "I love the Porcupine".

Since PorcFest I've been doing some traveling, meeting FSP participants around the country, and encouraging them to start up more FSP local groups.  It's been great to talk to so many of you and meet you face to face; people who are into liberty and willing to do something to achieve it are my kind of people!  As time, energy and resources permit, I'll continue to be on the road as much as possible visiting as many groups as I can.  If you want to start a FSP local group or need ideas on how to make your group more successful, write me or give me a call; I'm your huckleberry!
