That date will work for me and I will get it put on the calendar now.

Do we know how many people we want to try and get to show so I can get some things rolling.

For those wondering if you can hang or feel intimidated just come on out and have fun. Here is some background of the last one and how luck plays out. My rifle got finished in October and due to a componets shortage the gun maker made me just enough bullets to get my gun sighted in by him and I then shot a few animals during hunting season. For the last hunters match I found enough componets for Chad to make 50 rounds just to play. The day of, I had a bad battery connection and broke down on the way to the match. Yep I was that guy that held everybody up. I got there and quickly had to go prove that my gun was sighted in (mandatory). I lined up and had to shoot prone, which I hate, and shot twice to show I could hit at 100 yards. All of the stages were pretty realistic of a hunting situation. All said and done I did alright single shot top loading with an 8lb gun and a Leupold 2x10 scope. I have never received an ounce of training nor had I even used a rear bag before this date. So I will say that anybody with a gun and a scope can play.

Agree It was a blast, being my first match, like a bunch there, I was intimated a little as well. But it is laid back and very fun. Anyone that has a rifle with a scope than can shoot to 200 yards or so will be able to compete just as well as others.

24th I'll be there what's the entry fee this time? Are we going to be doing the step thing that I did Jason? If so please bring your big bag. I'm about to buy one of the smaller ones with the Velcro, but that bigger one is a little pricy for me since I don't shoot very many comps.

$50 entry and I'm going to look into having match T-shirts made for am additional price.

Round count will be 50-100, we'll know better when we get the stages figured out.

270 is fine.

This will be at my range west of Wolfe City, TX

It sounds like fun! I'd be interested if I'm not required to shoot prone...neck won't allow it. So if we can work around it or if I can figure out how between now and then...

Last time we offered prone or from a bench on a couple of stages whichever the shooter felt more stable. So have no fear we'll have a mobile bench for the non-prone guys.

Last time it was requested that we go a little farther. I'm thinking 500 yards, max, but not a bunch of stages that far. Heck I may even take a look in those duplex reticles and give guys a hold point, then let them have their rifle back. Don't want guys to fling lead for nothing.

Did you know I've killed coyotes at 500? And I wasn't tacticool about it. You hit 600 after the match I saw it happen. Don't be skeered!

Last time several guys asked for one or two stages that were farther out, so that is what we're doing. Most likely we will repeat most of the stages from last time and change up a couple.
