*Multiple target distances within one stage, at times.
*Multiple positions within one stage, at times
*Target sizes from 2 MOA down to 1/2 MOA

*Round count 100, bring extra if you can.

Range is located:
2213 CR 3835
Wolfe City, TX

It will rain before, so do not go down Fannin CR 3805, because it will be a mud road.

The old thread would be handy

hummmmm

think i'll leave this one to the "professional" shooters

What the hell, I need another heatstroke, I'm in.

I want in but I think that's the same day as my daughter's 6th bday party. Call me tentative for now.

Crud, I'll be chasing pronghorn in NM.

Will the house be ready for rain by then

Match canceled, I'm going with Richard.

He had one slot left until Monday, I would have hollered but figured your money was going to the house.

Last Match Thread<<< Clicky

In give me a bit and I’ll have registration form up.

Dang, I really thought it was cancelled. Would of been a good reason. Way too much sarcasm on here. Cant we put bazinga or something after a sarcastic remark so us guys outa the inner circle know whats going on.

Still no 300 win mag, correct?

Needs to be on the first post, but the edit button is gone.

Correct.

Physics have not changed in the last year.

I understand just checking.

HIJACK ALERT

Just found out there is one slot left on the hunt. DIY, 5 total hunters on 5800 acres between Clayton and Raton, unit 56. Myself and another from this forum are going. $1800, there's a nice barn with hot/cold water/shower and elec. About $300 extra to NM for the antelope tag/carcass tag/treehugger fee. Hunt is Aug 17-18-19th. Maps and scouting reports from previous years are provided by the LO. 4WD not necessary but suggested, especially if it rains.

Can't do it this year. Thank you though.

Registration is up on my website with paypal payment of $75 after submitting form. If you do not have a paypal account you can still use the "pay with debit/credit card" option at the bottom of payment page.

Registration Form

Site is asking for login info, is that intentional?

Fixed, LOL my brain is in fifty different directions right now.

I just got confirmation that I was in the one Saturday at Fossil Pointe expecting this would be postponed. Now I have to ask Mama for more entry fee money and another day off. Are all fireman this unorganized and last minute? Will we have the outhouse again, priorities ya know?

Ask her to give you your balls from out of her purse.

Nope, won't make that mistake again. I sneak em out every now and again tho.
Update: I'm allowed to have my huevos 8/17 and enough money to cover entry tomorrow on pay day. See you slackers next month. Jason, your meanie.

@ Gary

Have to check my schedule and see if I can make this one.

You need to.

As far as your drive is, we might as well see how much beer and whiskey we can drink around a fire....

And then crash.

In and paid.

Was really looking forward to this. But I won’t be in attendance, yet again. Hoping my son will be 9 days old on the 17th

Kyle why am I required to choose mil or moa, that's my bidnez? Where are the T shirts?

It is for research purposes only.

No shirts for the long range match, I can whip some up if you guys are interested, but we haven't done them in the past.

No option for irons, amirite?

sounds like the Government gettin your business. Just a ploy to say "I told you so" by who, IDK

urite

again, your timing sucks

I make this convenient for me. Everyone else can work around it.

just giving you crap
dumbest thing I ever did was to have a wedding a week apart from her birthday...
Summers I am focused on getting down to the coast fishing.. got a "new" boat 6 weeks ago and summer schedule is jacked
I have one "free" weekend the whole month of August this year
arg

Arg is right.

I am a crafty bastard though..
2 days next week doing a business related fishing trip with a guide and we will also go out on my boat..

And write it all off, because the IRS sucks.

yep

Gary with jokes.

I can't commit yet. I have so much work right now, I might be forced to schedule jobs for every Saturday in August. If I get caught up and there's still a spot available, I'll be there. Either way, y'all know I'll stop in to see my dudes.

Starting to become a habit with you.. you’re uninvited

Good. I don't wanna get my new scope dirty anyway.

Then leave it with me for a week. I'll break it in, and when you get it back, you can use it.

Whats the limit for shooters on this one?

Most are under 6’ and between 200-325 lbs

Now that was funny!

Usually 25 to 30 shooters. It'll be a good time with some good folks.

Except Kyle. He's under 5'. Same weight class tho.

Well I fit right in with the majority then lol

Me and you both, Garza. I'm trying to get my beach bod ready for Port A next weekend so I'm down to 195. I can finally see when I pee.

Fasting sucks but it’s doing wonders for my body. Was 183 this morning.

You've been doing good on your diet, Kylie. Better than me lately for sure. My kids love pizza too much and I can't control the temptation. Mmmmm stuffed crust.

Finally got rid of that FUPA?

SMDH... We are now talking about diets in a match thread. Never thought it would have came to this but I should never underestimate you degenerates I guess

I'm afraid so. On the bright side, your neck won't get so tired now.

Your jokes are lacking. Tiger could’ve come up with something better

I am I missing this particular match somewhere on the Dallas Reloads website? Only thing I see for 2019 is the hunter's match in March.

It is on my site this year sir.

Link is on the first page of this thread.

NEED MORE PEOPE !!!

Gonna try and get there but can't signup till I know for sure. Probably won't know what caliber I'm bringing till the night before.

Just signed up, looking forward to it.
Going to be a loooong day.
Larry

Confirmed, my daughter's 6th bday party is that afternoon and baseball tryouts are that morning. I'm the coach and the dad, can't miss either. Bummed to have to miss this match, it was a lot of fun last year and now I've got my CTR ready to roll.

Gear wise,what is needed besides firearm and ammo? Will all the shooting be done from 1 area or do we need to transport gear from station to station?

Larry

My availability is a question mark right now, so I'm not signing up til I know for sure I can make it. I think I'm probably better than 50/50 right now though. Hoping I can make it for sure, but haven't shot my rifle in months due to family stuff and grad school.


Bring water/snacks, a cooler, a towel to keep in the cooler to keep your barrel cool, a chair, a hat, and a good attitude. All of the shooting is done from the tower or in the areas directly around the tower, since Jason/Chad know that it's a billion degrees and they're trying to keep everyone in the shade. It's really not that bad out there - it was like 105 last year but we had lots of fans going and lots of cold drinks, so I didn't really sweat much at all. Really fun day.

Yes, even on the hot days you will be almost 100% in the shade all day. If it's a small crowd, I may tune up my 308 Win, 16" hunting rifle to play with.

Bipod, bags, tactical pillows, earpro, water, lunch

Tactical pillows? hahaha, I had to google that.
Only rifle matches I have shot have been benchrest and carbine (3 gun style), never used a pillow, lots to learn
I am an old, slow, crippled up fat man. Hope yall cut me some slack.

Larry

Bring your normal rear bag and a bipod. Maybe somebody will share their pillows

and phone book seat

Haven't used a pillow in 2yrs and you don't see a ton used anymore. The gamechanger and fortune cookie bags are stable enough to run an entire match.

I always thought tactical pillow were yorkie gay anyway

I will need a booster seat?

KY is generous with his tactical phone book

How come ITRDM isn’t on the list?

I can't commit yet. I have so much work right now, I might be forced to schedule jobs for every Saturday in August. If I get caught up and there's still a spot available, I'll be there. Either way, y'all know I'll stop in to see my dudes.

he posted this ^^^^^^^

Anybody looked at the forecast lately

"Saturday Aug 16

Sunshine. Highs in the upper 90's, lows in the mid 70's."

10 degrees cooler than last year, not muddy. What do you want from me?

you came through again with your forecasting !!! dont want to jinx it but this will be 3 in a row for you !!!! Great job JG

If ghey match director KYJellyRoyal was running this match, all shots would be off-hand.

JG, you and Mother Nature seem to be getting along much better. Please ask her for low 90's.

2Beez, I heard you were volunteering to apply sunscreen to everyone. I'm out but the rest can enjoy.



Message brought to you by Tito's...

We need some more people to register so far 10 shooters for Saturday.

Was just informed that we are celebrating my grandsons birthdays this Saturday , I will not be able to attend the match.
Larry

at least it will be over fast

100 degrees with 55% humidity tomorrow, us fat boys should get a handicap.

Mowed, targets set and painted. Zeroing paper up at 100 yards.

Bring your own food and drink, and let's burn some powder!

Good luck everybody.

Keep it safe, and don’t stand near KYjellyRoyal when he shoots his untested ammo.

Go stand at 800 yards and let me shoot at you.

can't be worse than last year can it?
I'll wear my flak jacket just in case.

Hmmmm...MOA’s at 66.66%.

Perfect! 2/3 of the field is easy to beat.

It is NOT muddy.

Saturday August 17

Mainly sunny. Hot. High near 100. Winds south at 10 to 15.

With that wind, and all the shade I have, it will be a walk in the park! Makes for a.more interesting match, too!

This is the last year of this match promoted on the THF. Probably the last time it will ever happen. Show up, be a part of history.

Registration is still open not too late.

Dang it!! I'll be partying with 6 yr old girls at the local gymnastics gym for my daughters bday. Have fun and be safe. Take pictures.

Dang, sucks that I can't make it. You guys have fun.

Have fun.

Ya'll are gonna miss me , sorry!

Still working. I think the way your schedule falls always puts the matches where I get off at 7am. I took vacation for the Hunters Challenge only to wind up having to go to a funeral that day. It is what it is.

How was it boys ???

KJellyRoyal finished one place behind last

So he’s improving

Funny I didn’t see any of you jackasses out there...

We figured you needed some alone time

Patrick no one is as racial as me

Kyle did you get the final scores?

Yea I beat you by 14

Thanks to everyone for being safe, and for everyone helping keep things running, and helping each other get through the day.

Terrific attitudes, camaraderie, and friendly attitudes from everyone, all day long! Good day shooting!

Glad to hear you guys had a great time. Sorry I could not make it out as planned

Great match with great guys. Solid introduction to timed distance and positional shooting. Thanks to all the THF guys who were there and lent equipment and knowledge!!

Looking forward to the next one.

So.....what happened to MVsr.? He had a big lead on Kyle after 3 stages then dropped the anchor?
Paul Harvey wants to know?

It seems SR was having some equipment troubles, or zero was just off. Not a normal day for him for sure. JR was having an off day too I think, he only beat me by 6 points. We are usually not that close.

The 800 yard line. Some great shooting happened yesterday. For those that do not know. This is a 16", 8", 6", and 4" plate.



Looking back to the platform at the zero line. You'll probably have to zoom in to see it. It helps put into perspective just how small three of the targets are from 800 yards away.

Yep lots of really good shooters out yesterday.

That 4" plate looks like it was hit quite a few times dead center. That's pretty sporty.

We were hoping you would do better than next to last. Apparently it’s not us holding you back

Kyle, I'm struggling to find my error in the math. I keep seeing a 13 point difference between us and both my calculators must be broken. Please advise.

Danged MOA scopes.

So what you’re saying is Kyle is really DAL

Was the P-dog the one behind the spinner? That stage killed everyone but Tony & Clay.

Yes... That is exactly what we're saying and I own it.

Those of us shooting .223 A.I. just didn't have the energy to keep the spinner out of the way.

Pushing a 162gr at 2820 I had plenty to get it spinning and did just that. Then, I couldn't hit the darned PD to save my azz. That stage was my mulligan, I hit the spinner twice and had it in full rotation, still only hit the PD 3 times. In my defense, Kyle made me go last and by the time I got to it the PD was the same color as the dirt behind it.

Hey I was next to last so I don't want to hear it.

Oh you're gonna hear it. 2 years ago I was a spectator/clock operator. 1 year ago was my first ever shooting competition. Saturday I beat you fair and square and would have even if you had brought enough ammo. How long have you been doing this? Failure to prepare is preparing to fail.

There's a disheartening lack of gun porn in this thread. Mug shots of everyone's rig along with detailed specs should be a requirement.

I didn't take many pictures, was busy shooting and running my mouth.

Range owner/operator/match winner.





The guy I beat.



Future competitor.

Really Gary... LOL thats funny

LOL

I remember thinking that same thing last year. I think I went 2nd or 3rd on the p-dog and it still had a pretty nice orange outline. By the time we were 3-4 shooters past me, you could barely see the darn thing. Felt bad for them. I think I only got 4 or so. Chad was right after me I think and used his first 2 to get the spinner going and then I think rattled off 7 or 8 straight hits. Darned impressive.

It looks like it was a good time!! Sorry I missed it!

I would probably win the ugly duckling award on that request-- rigs were as impressive as the shooting these guys did. Learned alot about shooting and about equipment as well.

Now to make a call for an increased credit limit!

Alright, I'm done.
