I am not sure ,I have not done any checking. You might check with Northeast Texas tactical they are an hour away

Great Match, and always a good time. Will need about 40-45 rounds if you make it all the way to the end. I always bring 50 just to be on the safe side because i always seem to go to the Tie Breakers for some reason.

Hey David.,
For us newbies and dummies, is there a complete set of rules somewhere??? And a good location might help a bit as well??? I would be coming from Lawton, OK. What kind of benches are available??? Muzzell breaks-suppressors?? Single shot?? Magazine fed??
Thanks for the info,
stan

 

[David Brooks Rifle Stocks]

About only rules as far as gun goes is, 300WM or less, bipod, and rear bag. Any muzzle device is fine. There are 2 benches with 1”-1.5” wood tops, a big heavy duty table, or prone. The range is private and right off of I-35 in Valley View Texas just south of Gainesville, Texas. You will see anything from a good hunting gun to an f class gun on a bipod.

If you are planning on coming to the match, send me a PM and I will give you precise instructions. It is a private range so I am not blasting it's exact location to people that are uninvited.

 

[mule]

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS YOU NEED TO ASK THEM SO THAT THEY CAN GET ANSWERED.

 

[mule]

If you are planning to come to the match you need to let me know so I can send you precise directions. It is not obvious how to get to the range. If you use my neighbor's road he will have you cited for trespass.

Next match is March 17th

David,
I am over in The Colony and am interested in the matches, can you PM me the address of the range so I can run some logistics? Thanks!

8 inch Target one point, 5 inch Target two points, 3-in Target three points

Cool.
I was just wondering what was challenging about hitting steel plates. For some reason I was imagining they were all 2-3 MOA.
But the ones you're using for the match are not gimmies especially at 500.

The 3 inch one with three points would be tempting depending on the wind.

There's been windy days here when the 5 inch was work to hit.
