Nice to know the dates early, Senior, thanks. Count me in for April and beyond, already booked in March.

So have we settled on 3 minutes instead of 4?

Looking forward to it!

Yes that was a mistake on my part. It is supposed to be 4 minutes and will always be 4 minutes

Can't wait

If weather looks good on a weekend for 5 days out we might try doing a match on short notice if that works for anyone

Work and wife permitting I’m in. I know we’ve got everyday off wrapped up until January.

Merry Christmas to you ALL !!!

I’m game, plans permitting. I’ll keep an eye on the thread. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

This sounds like a great time! Do you welcome spectators?

Please remind us of the location?

Valley View, Tx.

Might as well bring your gun and join in. Good group of shooters and lots of information sharing. Everyone helps each other, might as well jump in with both feet.
If you do come to just watch bring your own chair, spotting scope (optional) & ear protection.

Who would be interested in shooting a match on Sunday December 31st? At 10:00 a.m. weather looks like it should be really nice for that day.

What do you guys think about adding a fourth target to the 500-yard match? a 4-in target.

Also, my schedule has changed for January and February. I'm thinking about adding a match to both of those months and starting them at 10:00 a.m. what do you think?

Sorry I did not reply to this earlier. Yes, you may spectate if you wish. If you're coming all this way, you might as well bring your gun and have a little fun.

I might make 1 in Jan. or Feb. since I’m doubtful for March. I would vote yes on the 4” since the 3” has an enormous dislike of me!

In on both. Winter shooting and 4” targets. Last time second round I hit 8 of 9 on the 5” but didn’t try the 3”

ADD FEBRUARY 4TH 10:00 A.M. TO THE SCHEDULE 500 YD MATCH

Are guys shooting hunting rifles in these matches?

In

Some do but you will have to shoot 10 rounds in 4 minutes. Your rifle barrel may or may not hold up to that accurately.

One way to find out!!

i will plan on being there. just dont get pizzed at me if i dont shoot in an ice storm.

please re=-paint the target straps so i will shoot the correct target bank. im color blind

Let’s do red, white, and blue. If you can’t see that buzz you’re a commie.

Repete after me White, Orange, Blue. OK let's do that again.

white, orange, bliue

Even you rocket scientists should be able to figure out.

LEFT. MIDDLE. RIGHT.

But check BOTH ways, sometimes non-shooters use the far right bench to watch…..

You’re welcome,

Rocket Scientist #1.

The road into the range will be muddy tomorrow so when you come in the main gate go straight all the way back to the white gate. Go through it and take a left and follow the green cones up over the top of the hill to the 500-yard berm and then take a hard right and follow the road all the way up to the benches.

Add me to the scrum, I'll be there.😊

Sounds good

Well, how'd the match go? Who won?

I shot a blazing 10 and left early with my tail tucked between my legs.
Weather was nice and wind picked up later in the morning. 10 o'clock start time was perfect for this time of year.

Angus , I haven’t been before so help me understand…for a “10” how many times did you actually hit the target ?

I hit ten times.

Here's how the match is ran.
You shoot 2 10 round heats at 3 targets. You have 4 minutes to shoot your 10 rounds (that's a lot of time). Targets are 8" =1 points, 6" =2 points and 3" = 3 point. At the end of each heat your spotter added up your score. At the end of both heats they take the top 8 shooters and do a single elimination shootoff for the winner.
They pay the top 3 places.

Come shoot in March at the next match.

I need to try this in March

Sounds like fun

[quote=ScooterDrake]Well, how'd

Nick beat Senior in the championship round 11 to 10. I should have shot the 3-in target with my last shot. I had to shoot first.

It was a good match Today we had several new shooters and Jimmy's. 14-year-old son came and shot today and made it into the Great 8. He did pretty good. The wind was at our 6:00 and fishtailing so it made for an interesting match.

Awesome, sounds like it was a great shoot. I'll definitely be at the next....

How many rounds total would someone need if you make it to the ship?

40 including cold bore and possible tie breakers. At least by my count. Bring 50 and be comfortable.

I see the next shoot is Mar, how do I get an invite?
Possible 3 shooters.

Post on here who's attending and Senior will provide the address.

To bring:
Guns <.30 cal
Ammo
Spotting scope
Hearing protection
Chair
Anything else you may need
How EZ was that.

Small correction for my Oklahoma friend…Guns: up to and including .300 WM.

Also, spotting scope is nice to have but not mandatory.

Just let me know if you're wanting to come and I will put you on the list . if you have any other questions. Please feel free to ask me. I will answer them to the best of my ability.

How many rounds should I bring?

50 should cover it but maybe I’ve got fuzzy math. Can someone confirm. Should be 36 plus tie breakers if there any. That’s including one for the cold bore.

I'll bring at least 50 then. Thanks

Where we shoot from will not be muddy the road could be a little bit getting in though

We will take the 500 yard route tomorrow

Pictures from today's match posted for Senior.
He'll post up winners later today.

March match results.

The wind was really tough to read for everybody today but we made it through it. We had several new shooters and they did pretty good for the conditions. I'm looking forward to seeing everybody at the next match and getting to shoot again. Hopefully with a little less wind.

First place Senior
Second place Jason b
Third place Mikael V
Fourth place, Jimmy

Three of the top four rifles were built by S&S precision.

It was a fun day, enjoyed visiting and learning.
1st 500 match but not the last.

Had a great time today meeting everyone. This was my first time shooting this event and I was pleased to hit some steel. Looking forward to the next one

Steve it was good to met you and Cowboss. Considering the wind and doubling your maximum range for the first time I think you did great.

Thank you Senior, outside of light northerly breeze, it was another great shoot. Enjoyed visiting with the regulars and meeting the new folks, hope to see everyone at the next one.

Mikael V's stock wins the day !!!!!

We had a blast as usual thank you for a great morning!! Jacob is ready for next month made me send him the dates for all the matches.

My apologies gentlemen for missing this morning, slept right through my alarm.

Was cool and windy, but a good time was had by all.

Good shooting today. John, you had me very nervous for a while. We missed you today. Scooter.
