Come join the fun. There are rifles from 223 to 284, Varmint, F class, short range BR, long range BR rifles and everything in between used at this match.
Concrete topped benches on a concrete slab with roof, nice restroom, and good people.
Denny, Polly and Tim run a great match. No association membership or affiliation required.

Three of us would love to come and shoot in that match, but there is already a 500 yd steel match in valley view Texas that day that we are going to. Hopefully the next match.

This Sunday. Be there. Think I'll do the silenced thing again.

If anyone needs some Reloader 33, I have 2# unopened that I'm not gonna use in the next decade. I can bring it.

I got you. You may have to mix some 15 & 33, but if anyone can do it, it’s you.

Next weekend. Let’s turn out!

Call it the "finale" that gets people out

@P1ZombieKiller @JoeDuke @jackieschmidt
This match is really closer to 312yards. Not quite 300M, but you could use it to test your tack driver score set-ups.

Plus, Mike says it’s the finals, so there’s that.

@Dusty Stevens @spike-55 @mule @S&sprecisionTx

We’d love to see you all again.

 

[P1ZombieKiller]

Might be a bit hard to get there in time since I am in northern Vermont!

Is that dang Jason Peel coming again?

 

[X-Caveman]

Is that dang Jason Peel coming again?

I hope not. I still haven’t recovered from him beating us with a .22.

 

[spike-55]

I am in Creede that week!!!! But we have talked about coming home Friday or Sat. Sat might be tough - get home in OK at about 8:00pm and leave at 4:00am for Cumby!!!! However I am thinking about it if we don't leave on Sunday!!!!!
