I was mad I couldn't make it last year. Hopefully the date will work out for me this year.

What is the round count needed? And so basically don't bring a 300RUM running 230 bergers at 2950 to not eat the steel. This won't damage steel. You would probably need between 50-75 for the day

You would probably need between 50-75 for the day Thanks Dave. cmorsch, I hope you can manage the recoil there will be positional shooting as well as unsupported, seated, kneeling, offhand. You, the rifle, and a sling only. If the rifle knocks you over I will ask if yoy need a Paramedic then I will laugh and point.

Lets get a good date knocked down so I can ask off now...
What about the weekend of the 17 in Jan if we do it on a Saturday, I think that would be a good date as it is the second or third weekend of the month.

Good thing is, if we get some precipitation in January it'll prolly be snow or ice and we'll keep shooting.

I just texted Chad that date. We'll see what he say.
I'm thinking of adding a "Test your limits" stage. To go with the "Know your limits".
KYL is one distance with progressively smaller targets. You hit you get points, you decide to move on. If you miss you zero the stage. Had four targets last time and lots of guys that hit three and missed the fourth. It always breaks hearts.
TYL will be starting at 200 and working out to 400 or 500 (don't expect everyone to run out to 800). Shoot till you miss, no loss of points.

Are we going to be able to dial elevation this time or it hold only? I like the TYL idea . KYL last time I stopped at 3 that 4th one was freakin tiny. Will we have the faris wheel again? That was probably my favorite stage shooting off hand sucked think I'll be removing my suppressor for that stage that heavy can on the end makes me wobble off hand lol.

Dial or hold, your call. Yes we will have the ferris wheel, it is too much fun not to have it! I have to repair it in the shop tomorrow and get it back out to the range. So I can shoot it every week

Only way you'll embarass yourself is if you don't live up to your handle.
The reason I'm bringing this up so early is so we can more guys out that wanted to last time and this go-round wil be pre-pay only. That way when we have a list of shooters we know that many will show up. It's a full day of work or more, and the number of shooters coming matters when setting up everything.
Brither-in-law won it last time so yall watch out for him!

Jan 24, let's do it! I want to have some of the same stages and a few new one's. I have some new ideas and a few extra pieces of steel. But, you can count on one stage being there. 5 Dot Drill! 1 sheet of paper with 5, 1" dots on it, and 1 round per dot. I gave 30 seconds last time, and I was shocked at how few rounds scored. ((Hint Hint- so practice this one!!!) This time, maybe 40 seconds. That's 8 seconds per dot, or 10 seconds per dot if you shoot your first round at the start time. And here's me shooting the Spinning Target shot at 300 yards (video says 200, but it was at 300). I was the first person to clean it after about 5 or 6 shooters trying it.
