Add me. I'm going to pull a 36 hour day just to be there. Any chance this will be done by 6pm so I can make it to work at 8?
Can we pay online or check only?

Sounds about right Jason, wade was the last submission I got. I'm showing 17 submissions with one duplicate so 16 total Right now the payment is only through check to save on CC fees through Chad's website. If you guys in the future would maybe want an online payment option we could up the entry fee $1-$2 per ticket (depending on the cost of Chad's CC company) to cover CC fee and I'll set us up a online payment next time.

Random thought - could we do a swap meet/white elephant? Everyone bring their old (but functional) gun and ammo stuff and set it on a table. Jason picks first, then any other ROs, then shooters in the order of assigned match spot. I know I have all kinds of random stuff that I dont use but someone else might want (holsters, bullets, brass, dies, scope rings, misc accessories, etc). Would be a good opportunity to spring clean.

Fine with me, as long as everyone else is good with it. You don't bring anything, you don't swap. Cept, if everyone brings stuff, we at have to use the biggest blue tarp made, on the ground, as a table.

To the shooters wondering about signing up. What the hunters challenge match is all about is getting the shooter away from the bench at only 100 yards. 99% of hunters sight their rifle in at 100, then go hunt in a box blind. This match is designed to introduce you to field shooting positions on targets of various ranges out to 300 yards. There were multiple new shooters last time at this event, including several kids and several female shooters. If you show up with a properly zero'd rifle, and know your holds for 200 and 300 yards, you should do great (if you don't know your holds, I will be happy to help you figure them out.) Most stages will have a 90 second par time with 3-5 rounds and most stages could be shot in under 30 seconds (5 rounds in 90 seconds is 18 seconds per round!!! That's a lot of time) There will be some basic shooting off the bench or prone. There will be some stages where the shooter has the choice which position they want to shoot.
For example, last match we had a large metal pig at 200 yards. You could lay prone for 1 point per hit, kneel for 2 points per hit, or standing for 3 points per hit. Prone is easiest, and therefore the lowest point score, but you get some points. If you have a light rifle or can shoot good standing, then it's worth 3 points per hit. Also, there was a T-post shot where you use the T-post (most just hold on to it) to make your hits. I guarantee there will be a prairie dog stage again, where they are anywhere from 100 yards out to 300. There are all kinds of different stages mixed in. I will try to work hard at a brand new stage this year that I have been wanting to shoot. If we can get it to work, it will be the best stage we have even done! I'll know more later!!!

Also, if anyone needs a rifle, let me know. I have a 270 Win I can loan out to someone. It's a work horse rifle, and shoots very well with a good Leupold VX-6 ($1000 scope).

That effing prairie dog stage I suck at it is the only reason I dislike it. Is East's spinning dong target going to be on the itinerary?

LOL! I don't know yet what the stages will be. I'll sit down with Jason over some beers and see what we want to keep, add new, or modify previous stages. But you can guarantee there will be a 1" 5 dot stage, since everyone has a sub 1" rifle on the internet!
