My first ever Match...

[ColoWyo]

What kind of rifles and what calibers do you see there alot? I have been interested in doing this for a while now. If it wasnt so far i would just hang out and watch.

I shoot a .260.

If anybody is on the fence about getting in to competitive shooting, this is a great match to get your feet wet. Long range guys are some of the nicest, most helpful guys you'll ever meet. Pretty much the exact opposite if my first IPSC match.

That is very reassuring to read. I want to go to a match just to see how it's ran. I'd actually like to shadow someone one day(not a competition) to see what long range is all about.

Way to go Mike! Looks like a fun day in Pueblo! Hoser's match is great fun and practice. Those target are absolutely tiny! I thought they were bigger and I was missing by 6", then they retrieved a broken target during the match and I was probably off by 1.5".

Way to go Tim on 390

I will try to get back out after ski season ends. I may even be able to match 170 but I wont hold my breath. I am already scared of 600y, 420y was plenty tough.

RE: TheBelly, I sent you a PM about small steel targets.

The Gen 2 mags I ordered showed up on Saturday. Apparently the gen 3's are still back ordered.

This was a great read and great description Mike! I've been practicing with my Savage BA 10 out to 500 yards and thinking I'd like to try a competition, but WOW, I need ALOT of practice. Thats a pretty small target. Right now I think I can hit that sized target maybe 1 in 7 shots... Gives me something to practice for!

You need to come out... it was fun, holy sh*t!
I'm itching to do it again!

Congrats on your match, glad you had fun.

Yep, and it ended up giving me another reason to spend money... again... Thanks Hoser for letting me try out that rest bag

It was good times for sure though!

Thanks man! Those targets look smaller than 7 inches tall
