2023 Colorado State Championship 600 yard IBS Benchrest Tournament

Happy Thursday all,

This fall, the Western Colorado Rifle and Silhouette Club will host the 4th Annual Colorado State Tournament 600 yard Benchrest Match. This IBS match will be on weekend of September 30 and Oct 1 with sight-in on Friday September 29th.
We will shoot Light-Gun, Heavy-Gun, and Tactical Rifle events during the State Tournament.

NEW the year...... we will have a prize table for the 2023 State Tournament.

Which is part of the purpose of this post. After much deliberation on the subject of prize tables, we decided to jump in and give it a go. We established a committee to handle the prize table logistics as it can be a workload for all involved. The committee just informed me that several companies have already sent certificates of goods for our prize table and I would like to thank those venders here on the forum and ask that all of you remember these fine folks when you need to make a purchase.

Thank You

PMA Tools
Shilen Rifles, Inc.
Peterson Cartridge
Pacific Tool and Gauge
Ross Reels (think fly fishing) These folks have been very good to us.

I will add to the list of sponsors as I get that information

I will also add the match info as the time draws near.

Many thanks to all the shooters and sponsors that make these match's possible.

Are hillbilly’s welcome ?

We’re thinking about heading your way..,
 
I competed in this match last year. Great group of shooters, plenty of local facilities, and a very well run match. Clay and his crew do a very good job.
Thanks for the kind words Jerry.

If memory serves me, you walked away with the GRAND (two day) plaque last year!!!!

Damn Skippy!!!!
Anyone who votes against new gun legislation and doesn't shop at Target is welcome.......
Actually, we won't ask where you shop.

This is a safe, have fun, enjoy yourself, sort of event. No persnickety attitudes, all others welcome.

Is that a yes or a no ?
We just thought it would be a nice drive and a chance to visit with some new friends.

Our Tactical shooters are busting butt to get their rifles shooting well, several have made commitment to purchase or build a LG so they can compete in LG and HG.

We decided to reward their efforts with a 3-Gun award

These plaques will be awarded three deep for the BEST combined 24 TARGETS (LG, HG, TACT) over two days of shooting.

This is a marathon!!
