600 yard IBS matches in Western Colorado

[X-Caveman]

I'll be very interested in how this goes. I sure would like to get some 600 IBS rolling here in TX. @15T , @highlife, @sdeal5

You may also consider NBRSA 600. I THINK we shoot a little more at our matches than those IBS guys. We shoot 3 5 shot LG targets and 3 10 shot HG targets for reg matches and 6 of each at a Regional or National. Plus we could use more longrange clubs as there are only 4- Tucson, Ojai, Sacramento and Medford.

IBS-600 regular match format is a 4-target per class aggregate, combined for an 8-target 2-Gun over-all.
The IBS-600 Nationals is an 8-target per class aggregate, combined for a 16-target 2-Gun over-all.
Believe there are 12 clubs/ranges hosting IBS-600 currently.

Also think you missed a NBRSA-600 range/club, and believe there are 5.
The ones you listed plus CSA, Columbus, WI (who shoot both NBRSA & IBS-600 events).

@dmoran Thanks for correcting me, I thought they shot 2 targets of each and had some kind of shoot off for relay winners. Wasn't aware of WI. I also think there's another in Northern Ca called Red Bluff maybe.

Thanks!

Yes, Clay, we'd be willing to work on some brother-in-law pricing for you guys for sighter plates. We have done it for several local ranges that host competitions here in TX, and we even helped @BT1 & Co in Manatee. We can't afford to give them away, but we can cut it pretty close to the nubbins. You may reach out to Steve and see what, if any, changes he would make if doing it over. They just held their big Florida Championship, so their should be plenty of opinions on their system. As for the ones we use at 500M Fly Shoots here in TX, I sometimes wish they were a little bigger. I know this guy that's missed the whole damn thing!

Mighty generous of you Travis.
I will get with you.

Our first match and look what Tim Barber does @Thumper!!!



With 22 shooters and only 8 benches, we ran 3 relays in HG. Plan to add 8-12 more benches later this spring.


Had a brief squall line move through.

The "local' match report is below. Local meaning, it shows all competitors not just IBS members.
We had 22 shooters in attendance, most were not signed up with the IBS at match time..... some regretted not signing up before the match .
We had a great time and are already looking forward to April's match.

Some of the folks who were planning on attending couldn't get over the pass on I-70 do to the avalanches.... we have had over 200 avalanches in the last week!! Kinda tough on traveling .
