1911 Heartland Centennial Match

We all know that there is a great feeling of pride and history when you wrap your hands around the grips of a 1911 pistol, and on June 4, 2001, you will have the opportunity at the Heartland Public Shooting Park in Grand Island, Nebraska. The park is holding a special Level 1 USPSA match that is limited to 1911 and Limited 10 shooters, and all of the stages have a historical and military feel to them.

Plan on around eight stages and 150 rounds, and we have a place for all skill levels. there will be over $4,000 in prizes, including guns, ammunition, reloading supplies, and other gear. As far as the prizes go, everyone will have a shot at them, as they will be random instead of skills based so that all shooters will have a chance to win something. While you are here, don't forget to buy a ticket for the Springfield 1911 Range Officer .45. Only 500 chances total before they sell out.

The cost for the competition is $50, but with all the prize money and fun that you are gonna have, this is a bargain. However, you need to call the park soon in order to get signed up, as the field is limited to the first 80 to sign up. Registration starts at 8:00am, and lead starts flying at 9:00. We hope to see you there.

Win a 1911!!!

There is something about the iconic 1911 model pistol that seems to get everyone's blood pumping. Maybe it the history, maybe it's the fact that it was the preferred military pistol for many years, or maybe it just looks really cool. As a part of the Centennial 1911 Competition that will be held at the Heartland Public Shooting Park in Grand Island, Nebraska, we are holding a raffle for a brand new Springfield 1911 Range Officer.45 pistol. This is a real beauty, and one that will look great in your collection.

For tickets, simply stop by the clubhouse at the park or call 308-385-5048. Your chances for winning are very good, as we are limiting entries to 500 tickets. The cost of the tickets are $10 each, or 10 tickets for $50, and you do not need to be present to win. Good luck, and we hope to see you out there.
