Jeff Cooper Memorial Shoot
The Jeff and Janelle Cooper Memorial Shoot has been rescheduled
for Labor Day weekend on Sunday September 6, 2020.
Jeff and Janelle’s 100th birthday is in May of 2020. In honor and celebration of this, and upon the suggestion of the late Jack Furr (former Gunsite Staff member), we will be hosting a one (1) day special match.
This match will feature some of the old Cooper courses of fire with the final sixteen or so finishers to shoot off in the famous “J Ladder.” (Details are still being sorted out.) While not a GAS Match sized event, we think it appropriate to recognize Jeff and Janelle’s 100th birthday on Memorial Day weekend with celebratory gunfire and family competition. The match will not exceed one hundred (100) shooters.
The Cooper 1911 Centennial Match will be a “retro” event. As Cooper would have liked…it is a single stack .45 ACP 1911 ONLY event. (No revolvers, Double Action auto-pistols (“Krunchentickers”), striker fired, extended magazines, wide bodied pistols, etc.) No whining! This is a Cooper event! If you wish to whine about only 1911’s, the complaint manager is Helen Waite. If you want to complain, go to Helen Waite.) Also, no red dot sights, race holsters, or extended magazines. Think about what Jeff Cooper would have worn and shot.
Awards will be presented by placing in the event. A special retro shirt and lunch is included.
There will be a separate contest for best “BBQ Rig.” It can be any gun, holster, etc. So, bring your best pistol, revolver, stocks, holsters and belts to be judged. Contest is solely based upon what we think looks the best.
Watch our social media and web page announcing when we will open the limited enrollments for this festive day. Some proceeds will benefit the Jeff Cooper Legacy Foundation.
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN.
We are adding a Pistol Range Day for Saturday September 5, 2020 for those who might be traveling to this memorial event and want a “tune-up.”
Ammo Pkgs are not available for Special Events. You are welcome to purchase the required amount of ammo for this class from the ProShop when you arrive.

I attended the SC 350 course at Guniste this last week. The safety precautions that were taken for the Covid problem were adequate. The public places were all cleaned on a regular basis and were very clean. The school was an outstanding class with...
