View Full Version : Pueblo Tactical Rifle
Steel Core/jacket ammo is NOT allowed. Leave it at home. If a magnet sticks to it, it is a no-go. The **ONLY** exception is the annual AK vs AR match in Sept but no M885A1 at all in any way shape or form. Do not bring it. Steel cased ammo is fine anytime.
Here is what is planned for the Pueblo Rifle Matches from now on. Some minor changes, lots of the same. All below info is current as of OCT 2024.
I am the MD (again) and Steve and Greg are the Assistant Match Directors. Charlene is keeping all of us from doing stupid things. All these people have all stepped up to help us out and make the matches happen. Without these guys, Oct 2008 would have been the last Pueblo Rifle Match. The IPSC club is still the main club at the range. Like my match staff, without Brandyn the IPSC MD, it could not and would not happen. Please be sure to say thanks to all of them.
In a nutshell the three stage format of Long Range, Medium Range and Eddies Standards or V-TAC Standards will be shot. Open, Tactical, Limited and He-Man are the divisions.
$20 match fee.
Sign up in advance via PractiScore at https://practiscore.com/clubs/hosers-steel
Fourth Sundays, March thru Oct. 9:00 and 12:00 matches. 27 shooter max per match.
Pueblo West Sportsmans Assn
600 East Loma Drive
Pueblo West CO 81007
The gate code to get in the range is not published. Contact me via PM ahead of time to get the gate code.
We start setting things up around 7:00, shooters meeting around 8:45 and we start shooting no later than 9:00. Please arrive no later than 8:30. If you are not there by 8:30 to get signed in and squadded, we reserve the right to give away your slot.
We will have a second match that starts at 12:00 with a 11:45 shooters meeting. Be there no later than 11:30 to get signed in and squadded.
You can only shoot one of the two matches. Do NOT sign up for both. If there is an open slot left the day before, then and only then can you sign up for both matches. The goal of splitting the match into two was to get more people out there shooting and not fewer people shooting twice.
We can always use help with set-up. We can not and will not do it alone.
Round counts will be no more than 30-ish per stage. Total minimum round count should not exceed 100. The shooting will still be hard, so bring extra ammo. Most bring 200 rounds and take plenty home.
Divisions are Limited, Tactical, He-man and Open.
Limited. Iron sights or a non magnified dot. No bipod.
Tactical. One scope. No bipod.
He-Man. Any Tactical or Limited rifle in 308 or 30-06. No bipod.
Open. Multiple scopes and Bi-pods allowed. Anything goes pretty much.
Steel Core ammo is NOT allowed. Leave it at home. If a magnet sticks to it, it is a no-go. The **ONLY** exception is the annual AK vs AR match in Oct.
Eddies standards will still be 75 seconds, fixed time, on reactive steel targets. 5 shots prone at 200 yards. 5 shots other than prone (kneel, sit, squat) at 175 yards. 5 shots standing at 150 yards. The fourth string (150 yards) will be all three positions with mandatory reloads between each, just like now. However slings, bi-pods, mono-podding, ect are allowed in sitting and prone. Standing is still done the old fashioned way.
V-TAC Standards will be a VTAC Wall or two and a single steel target at 150-ish yards. Your time per string is totaled and added up. Misses add to your total time.
The medium range stage will be on the Silhouette Berm with the longest shot being about 220 yards. Most shots will be 150-175 yards. Plan on an occasional Texas Star or Dueling Tree.
The 300 yard berm will be used for the long range stage. It will have more shooting positions but fewer targets downrange. This will hopefully make things easier on the spotters, RO and the shooter.
The Oct match is the annual AK vs AR match. This match is the ONLY match where steel core bullets are allowed. All other matches, it is specifically not allowed. If a magnet sticks to the bullet, leave it at home.
Every once in a while there may be a bolt gun side match or a rimfire side match.
Most of us have known each other for a long time and are friends. We tend to have fun and joke around while not shooting. If you are a delicate type and are easily offended by playful banter between friends, be warned... Slack is on the next berm, and you can not get there from here.
Greg, Steve, Charlene and I are open to suggestions. After all, it is your match. You pay the match fee. We just set it up.
Lastly, thanks to Eddie, Vicki, Jeff and Tom for keeping it going these past years.
See you there.

To all:
These matches, especially the AK vs.AR match are great learning aids-I have seen the good AK drivers smash the AR platform-I know there are more AK dudes out there that are afraid to shoot, and they should have no reason not to come out to these and have a good time.
In the past the targets have been move inside 300 yards.
Most people get wrapped up in being in a competition setting vs. having fun and just shooting.
Have a somewhat good zero on that AK and do some quality shooting.
Rationing ammo should be done on planning on shooting these matches vs. waiting for Armageddon.

Thanks Hoser, Chris and Justin for putting on a great match.
I got some good schooling.........[Bang]
-29 not 30 rounds for reloads
-AR mags do not go in bottom first
-Mag release is on the right - bolt release on the left
-Elbow and knee pads are a good thing
-Having all your ligaments removed would help to get into the necessary contorted positions
-It's a lot harder than it looks
-Practice is not crazy talk
Thanks again guys!

Sorry for the delay in getting up the pics. Been extremely busy the last few weeks.
Another match a week from tomorrow!!!

Thanks everyone, had a great time. I learned a lot about what I don't know.
Hope to be back soon.
Had an absolute blast again. This is really better than drugs and significantly cheaper. Thanks again to everyone who makes this possible each month and to the great bunch of guys that show up to shoot. All egos checked at the door makes for an enjoyable day!
See you all next month.
That was my first time shooting the match and I really enjoyed it.Excellent!
Two things I noticed. Outside of the standards, all the shooting postions seemed to be supported in one way or another, even the close up targets where thru a port. For rifle practical shooting, it's very rare to find stages that force you to engage targets at distances of 200-400 yards from an unsupported position. The thought is that in a real world situation, it's generally possible to find something that you can use to brace your shot. As a result, the majority of targets at distance will allow for some ability to steady your shot.
The close-in targets were shot through a port more as a way to present a challenge with regard to optics. If the port was too narrow, you'd have to find some other way to engage the targets rather than just straight on. For the most part, the close-up targets will be set up in a way to try to test a certain concept or skill rather than just presenting something to blaze away at.
The second is that maybe 4 targets and less than 10% of the total number of shots were close up (under 100 yards). Are both of those things fairly standard for the shoots?Yep. Even an average rifle should be accurate enough to hit targets to 400 yards or so. There aren't a lot of ranges that can play at the distances we've got, so we want to push it. In the long run, it will make you a better shooter. (Ask Hoser about my response to the "long-range" targets at Superstition Mountain the first year I went...)
I might change rifles from my 3.5x ACOG to something with some more ass to it if longer range shots dominate at the matches.
A 3.5x ACOG is plenty for shooting at these distances. It's what I use. :)
The main trick is to get range time with it and really get a solid feel for how the BDC reticle works. Once you've got it dialed in, it becomes much easier to hit the further range targets.
Maybe add a rail sight or something for the infrequent close up shot.I don't have any experience with these. Some shooters like them, others don't. For close up they can be faster, but it's also possible for them to snag on things as well.
If not I really need to get my ACOG out to 200-300 and figure out my POA and POI with it.Now you're talking. Everything needed to make hits at those distances is built into the scope. It's just a matter of getting it all down so you know what your holdover is at any given distance.

Cool, thanks guys. It is nice to be able to stretch the legs and get some long shots! As I shoot the different shooting competitions I'm trying to get a feel for the flavors. Just wanted see if that was representative of what the matches were like. Me likey having some support, it takes me a few cups of coffee to get up and drive down from Denver. I know what you mean about higher power scopes, I even got sucked into ACOG a bit. It really helped putting some tape on the ACOGs to tame down the reticle. Maybe I get get some rounds down range during the precision class to get a better long range feel with the ACOG.
One thing is definately clear as I shoot more of these comps, the gear you use takes a big backseat to your skill level. It would be fun to shoot the competition with a Garand sometime.
Thanks again!

Amen.
It kicked my a$$ but I enjoyed it. Next time I bring my normal rifle and don't worry about adding or changing things for the match. I also bring the cheap ammo as I used way more than I should have.
Regardless, I had a good time and tried some things I have not done before. Next score will be better!

I shoot a 16 inch carbine with a EoTech and have a blast, bullets fly, I get hits, but I also learn my limits versus the limits of my equipment. This is what a rifle was designed for.
I had a great time when I came out last time, shot a scope for the first time. Learned what I did not know.
This month I and coming with my normal A2 to see if I can do better than I did with the optics. Should be fun!
See you all on Sunday.
Any issue using 308 for this?
Thanks.
Leo
Any issue using 308 for this?
No issue at all. Just be sure the ammo isnt steel core or anything like it.
Fun match with some new challenges: the VTAC wall and a stage on the natural terrain of the shotgun ranges (see pics). Good turnout, looking forward to the rest of these matches this year.

Targets the last few matches have been out to 325+
I use 55's and do fine for the most part, but as we all found out last match, some targets wont go down with that light of a bullet if you hit 'em low. (yes, I am talking to you LaRue's.....[Tooth])
I bring 200 per match, and that cuts it really close, (mainly because I suck and waste a lot of ammo) but if you have any sort of shot discipline you should be totally fine.
Dunno if I'll make this one, but I will try. We'll see if I can swing the 4hr. drive from Taos, NM to Pueblo West by 9am.
hope this helps,
Kenny

Well done on this match, Hoser!

agreed. I was glad to see a guy running an AK out there among the masses of AR's. Although he didnt do very well, he did a damn good job considering he was running true open sights, at those distances and those situations. kudos to hoser and justin as well for running another great match. I had a lot of fun
Here are a few pics from this month's match.

Days like today remind me why I do this.
Shot some guns and hung out with friends.

I shot like crap, but it was still fun to run around and get dirty.
One of these days I'll get the whole rifle/optic combo dialed in and see if I can't make something happen.
I used some steel cased crap ammo that I had laying around, and I'm sure that wasn't really helping anything. I tried learning how my ammo works at different ranges, but I can only get out to 200 yds. Even then, I'm not getting really spectacular accuracy.
Surprisingly, I had no problems hitting the 385 yd IPSC steel (with the strobe light attached). The other targets that were 9" across were a tad difficult for my ammo/rifle/optic/end-user combo.
I'll get it one of these days, though.

I had a great time out there this month. This was the first match I have attended with the scope on the gun, and I can now say it makes a helluva difference (thanks again chris). The natural terrain stage was one of the better ones I have seen created, IMO, and standards were fun. I blew the last stage, but there was still a good time had by all.

Great times. Got to shoot with Zak and Hoser- and none of it rubbed off.
PS- when is the site going to play nice with IE9?? If I don't use compatibility mode, I loose my posts to a "too short message" warning. Not fun after pasting lots of pics.

The hardest thing about taking pics of Hoser is staying out of his way as he moves from position to position.

Expect targets as far as 450, but yeah, generally around 150-300.
Come on out, you'll have a blast.
I should be there.
My rifles arent really set up for that distance but I wanna come shoot anyway lol

I shoot a 16" with 55gr. bullets mainly because im a cheap bastard and cant afford 69/77gr. match ammo.
Aim for the head/shoulders and you'll be fine
I only shoot 55's and have no problems (( That I know of )) but somebody here might think otherwise.

Always learn more by shooting competition than just range time. I have to figure out why monopoding off the mag is jamming up my bolt. I had a few flashbacks of running disfunction ally back in the day during the match.
Proof EVERYONE that stayed home got beat by a girl. Hang your head in shame.

It was a good time. It was my third match in two years but the first time I actually had all my ducks in a row, rifle worked, I understood the course, had the right optics and almost a zero. Nice not to finish dead last and out of ammo.
Now if I could just learn to shoot offhand!
A few pics from this month's match:

Testing out the new OP MOD II from Optics Planet. It's a fairly neat piece of kit, and despite being sub-optimal for long range shots, did pretty well. (The rifle it's mounted to, on the other hand...)

A few pics from last Sundays match. I spent too much time on the timer and not enough time taking pics.
Dont be scared, even girls shoot this match. Staying at home wont help you get any better. Get out there and shoot.
Again this year these matches would not happen without everyones support and help. I could not and would not do it without everyone chipping in and helping. Special thanks to Justin for being my Assistant Match Director and doing a great job with setting things up on the shotgun berms. He designed some excellent stages this year.
See you guys next year.

We all shared some Eddie stories and got some rifle shooting in.

That was a LOT of fun, the Texas star is always a blast!
Still can't suss whats's up with my rifle to cause that jam, stripped it down inspected all the parts. Aside from what looks like chipping at the end of the buffer tube (which I tightened maybe 1/16 of a turn) could it be the buffer spring itself? Or a whole new set of springs to be safe?
First time shooting a Tactical rifle match. Wow that was fun!! I'll be back!

These as in the AK vs AR match? Nope. That is a once a year match. The match as a whole runs March thru Oct. Below is from post #1 in this thread.
Fourth Sundays, March thru Oct.
Great match, fun was had, and I didn’t take dead last with either gun this time.
Thanks Hoser and Justin and everyone else that makes these happen. Can’t wait for March 25, 2018.

Thanks Hoser and everyone who helps put this match on. Nice to see some old faces and I had a great time. Well until the third stage anyways. [Mad]
We had an absolutely awesome set up crew today. Huge thanks to Katnip, Tim G, Dave H and everyone else that skipped that extra 30 minutes of sleep and came out to support the match. Without people helping out, matches cant continue.
Notably, today a Limited division shooter, Robert C cleaned the standards stage. It has been a long time since anyone has done that. Congrats, well done.
PLEASE.... IMPORTANT......
Do not handle rifles or bag/unbag rifle when people are downrange in any way shape or form. I even spoke about this exact thing at the shooters meeting.
We will continue with "Hit Factor" based scoring for the rest of the year as it heavily emphasizes hits over speed compared to "Time Plus" scoring.
See you on 22 July.

Match was lovely & challenging. Indeed a thank you to each & all.
Yesterday was a first. Saw someone utilize duct tape on their rifle.
Here is the rifle in question blasting away at some 300 yard targets. 17 inch wide diamonds.
Despite the ghetto tape, he was still civilized enough to use a Thunderbeast suppressor.

Good seein everyone today, lookin forward to next month. Thanks for a great match Hoser.
Your match staff has been scratching our heads trying to come up with a way to accommodate more shooters. Right now we are limited to 3 berms.
The best fix we can come up with is splitting the match up into a 9:00 start and a 12:00 start. 24 shooter cap, squads of 8.
The morning shooters don't have to worry about teardown, shoot and scoot.
The noon shooters don't have to screw with setting up.
However, the problem with the plan is people willing to help run timers and nooks. If people are not willing to assist with those tasks, we remain stuck where we are.
Let me know your thoughts.

I think this would be good, especially if we can get enough people to help with setup, teardown, and admin stuff.
Yesterday's match ran really smoothly, and a lot of that was down to how many people we had willing to run a nook or a timer. It's really difficult to overstate what a huge help that is, and Hoser and I are really grateful for that help.
Is this match similar to what use to be hosted at CRC last year? Looking for something like that where I can also run my suppressor. I'm really disappointed with how that situation was handled so I don't really want to go back.

More precision based, know your zero and appropriate hold-over/hold-under from 25 to 300+ yards!
While I borrowed (ok pirated) a lot of Hoser's match ideas for CRC's Action Rifle, we were limited to pistol berms and one rifle length berm. The use of pistol berms dictated a different stage design and many were run-n-gun style. Hoser's match (see post 1 in this thread) typically use Pueblo's rifle berms with steel targets and shooting prone, kneeling, squatting from various locations.

Fun match yesterday. Lots of people came out to play. Thanks to everyone that picked up my slack while Uncle Sam had me in a foreign land.
So far we have had nothing but positive feedback on splitting the match into two. So for the next few months we will run two matches, a 9:00 start and a noon start. 24 shooters per match which will allow us an additional 12 people to shoot this match and get people off the wait list. And no, you can not shoot both matches. If you sign up for both, one of the two entries will be deleted.
Lastly, we had 6 people not show up for yesterdays match. That means 6 people on the wait list couldn't shoot. Please be respectful to your fellow shooters.
https://practiscore.com/results/new/80326
Great showing yesterday. With the new match format we were able to accommodate an additional 12 shooters and with the smaller squads things seemed to move much faster. Help with set up and tear down was perfect. Thank you for making it happen.

Are suppressors allowed at this match? I know it varies a lot around here.
Not only allowed, they're encouraged.
I don't think they're advantageous though....not in this match.
Good times yesterday. Lots of help with set up and tear down. Thank you to everyone that makes these matches happen. So far it looks like the two matches in one day experiment is working, so we will keep doing it.
Please remember, if you cant make it to the match you need to reach out to match staff so we can get someone in from the wait list. When you flat just out don't show up, it means someone on the wait list couldn't shoot.

I lovelovelove this match. Thank you.
Just two months after picking up my first rifle, one of the very best actions I did for my advancement was to go to the Aug, 2018 match. I was wholly terrible but just as equally inspired & only wanted to learn from the experience. Nearly a year later the match & the sundry of wonderful people who shoot it never fail to motivate me. I will continue to put in the work & I hope to come back every month to do it all over again.
It is a real joy to come down to participate & I can't thank everyone enough for putting in the time & hard work to make this match happen each month. Its worthwhile, most appreciated & my continued thanks.
Here are the links to Sundays Tactical Rifle matches.
Huge thanks to everyone that came out to help set things up and especially my awesome Assistant Match Director Justin that continues to put up with my shit. We were done in record time and ready to go early. For a late July match the weather was awesome. Low to mid 90s and dead calm winds for most of the match.

I still have a few open slots in this Saturdays rimfire matches. The prone match is full, but the noon PRS has a few openings. Hope to see
you there.
All of Septembers matches will be avail for sign up just after midnight. Lots of people are wanting to shoot the AK vs AR match this

Great match today. Had a myriad of AK's, a couple Garands, an FN49, and even a couple brave souls on bolt guns that I saw.
I recorded the non-standards stages for the AK as well as the AR I was running today. If it strikes anyones fancy to watch me make mistakes and breathe like a fat kid at a buffet, links are below.
Thanks to Hoser, Charlene and crew for letting this continue to be a staple match of the year. I loved the team format this year.

It was a treat watching everyone shoot all the different rifles yesterday & I also enjoyed the team format. Good idea.
Wow Kenny! You're crazy quick. Nice to have videos to compare. Thanks for posting them.
Fwiw, I also like the combined score for the 2 matches.
Thank you Charlene, Justin, Katnip & Hoser. (& Sean for the new prop)
The match went off without a hitch. Thanks to everyone that came out to make it happen. I know Eddie Rhodes would have been happy to see so many different flavored rifles out there doing it. Even had a few old friends come out to do some shooting.
Next month we go back to the standard target size and distance format. Dont forget to leave your steel core ammo at home until next September. Your match staff will figure out a way to get both team members out there at the same time shooting for next year.
The main match results are here. https://practiscore.com/results/new/1569f1ca-d79a-4b1e-806a-26dbc5fae84f?
Special thanks to my two teammates, Kenny and Katnip. I shot an AK with Kenny for the morning portion and Eddies old bolt action rifle for the noon match with Katnip. I forgot how much work it is shooting a bolt gun at a match tailored around gas guns. Justin came up with the design for the plaques, huge thanks to him for going above and beyond the regular Match Director doodies.

Just wondering if this will return for 2020.
Hell yeah it will.
The March match will be avail for sign up on practiscore at midnight 01 March.
First time I shot this match was in 2000. I know it's changed hands over the years and it's a huge undertaking that as a match director makes you question if the "Juice is worth the squeeze". Thank you for doing what you do. Shooter's don't express it enough, but we greatly appreciate all the hard work that is put into the match!!!!

Yeah when Eddie and I started it back in 1998 or 99 it was a 3-gun match using SOF rules. A couple seasons later we made it a 2-gun (shotgun/rifle) match. In 2005 it became a rifle only match when Eddie took over as match director for me. For a while we rotated between a semi-auto match or a manual operated match. In 2008 Eddie handed it back to me and Justin and I have kept it a rifle only match ever since.

Back to the dick bureau bro. Days/Weekends off right?
Yeah, I've been kicking that around. Some of the dudes from the old unit asked me if I were going to put in for it when a slot comes open. I've been giving it some heavy thought. I miss the dudes some of the work we use to do and having fixed days off. We'll see what 2020 brings.

I miss the shotgun / rifle matches and the old Precision Rifle side matches you guys use to put on. Lot of really good memories of shooting that match over the last 2 decades. I remember taking that pic of Eddie as well. It doesn't get said enough, Thank you for all of the hard work. I've talked to a lot of shooters over the years that have told me there aren't many matches like this across the nation and we are lucky to have it in our back yard! Keep up the good work Hoser and Justin!!! We appreciate it!!!

Eddie is one of those people I didn't spend a whole lot of time with, but he made a huge, positive impression nonetheless.
The morning match is full, but there is some room in the noon match.

Awesome match again!. Thanks for putting in the work to keep this match going. A little Pew Pew and vitamin D is always good for stress relief.
Question, did you add targets and did the targets get A LOT smaller this month? I don’t remember needing 200 rounds last year ��
They were smaller and they moved around a lot for some reason... Taking about a 7 month break from shooting this match might have had a little to do with it.
The tough target for the match was on the 200. That little target #3 was tough. And if you were fast, it was still moving a bit when you came back around to it.
Next month we will drag out the Texas Star to mix it up a little bit.
It is great to be back in business. We were set up in record time. Huge thanks to Caitlyn and Katnip for getting there before Justin and I to get things going. Without people stepping up to help, matches cant continue.
Even though it was hot and windy, I didnt hear any whining.
We will do it again next month. Remember, signup for the July matches starts Wednesday. The morning match today was full with people on the wait list.
https://practiscore.com/results/new/110821

We had awesome help with set up and tear down today. Thanks to everyone that made it happen.
Please remember if you sign up and cant make it, let a staff member know asap so someone on the waitlist can have your slot.
Next months matches open up at practiscore at midnight on August 1st. Dont drag your feet or you will be stuck on the waitlist...

Next month is the annual AK vs AR match.
AK vs AR Team Match Rules.
You do not have to have a teammate to shoot the match. You can shoot your normal rifle or pick a commie gun of whatever flavor you want.
If you are shooting in the Team Match...
One of the team members must shoot a non AR-15 rifle.
One of the two rifles must have irons sights or a non-magnified optic, which is a hard way of saying dot.
Farthest target will be 200 yards and it will be a full sized steel IPSC and a 14 inch diamond.
Steel core ammo is allowed at this match and only this match. All?other matches it is specifically NOT allowed.
Both shooters must let match staff know who the team members are.
Scores (match points) from both shooters will be combined to establish Team score.
Plaques for 1st thru 3rd place teams will be handed out following tear down of the noon match.
Sign up opens up on 01 Sept. Dont drag your feet. If you sign up, please show up.
Just a reminder that sign up for the annual AK vs AR match opens tonight at midnight.
https://practiscore.com/clubs/hosers-steel
The morning match is full but there is still some room in the noon match.
Both matches full and there are wait lists going. But the match is a long way away. I would guess that some people cancel out and that means people on the wait list get in.
Huge fun today despite mother nature kicking up the winds to 20+ MPH for the noon match. We had an excellent set up crew and and everyone chipped in and we were broken down in record time. Thank you everyone.
We had a ton of non-AR rifles today and 8 teams.

The weather forecast isnt looking good for this Sunday. However... as of now, we are still going to press on with the match. It might be a touch chilly, but as long as it is in the 30s we will try it.
A final weather call will be made Saturday evening around 6:00.
There are some recent slots open for both the 9:00 and noon matches.
Hope to see you Sunday.
Tomorrows match is a cancel.
With temps barely in the 30s and a wind chill in the teens, it will make for a not fun day.
Sign up opens at midnight.
Dont be a dumbass. Get signed up quick.
And... If you signed up for the State Championship in June and have not sent in your match fee you might want to hurry up before practiscore kicks you out of the match for non payment.
Game on this Sunday.
The 9:00 match is full but there is a few left in the noon match.
See you Sunday.
No worries about bedbugs on that carpet.
Good times today. It is good to be back out doing it after taking the winter off.
We had some pretty good hep getting things going today. Huge thanks to Justin, Robert, Michael and Steve for making it all happen. Without these dudes coming out early to help, it wouldnt happen.
Dont forget to actually show up if you sign up. We again had a couple people no-show and that means people on the waitlist didnt get to shoot. Not cool.
The State Championship is full, but with people not sending in their match payment, I gain available slots all the time. So get signed up and you will most likely get in. https://practiscore.com/colorado-state-tactical-rifle-2021-championship/register
Here are the results for today.

Next months match is avail for signup at midnight on the 1st of the month.

Still some room in the noon match.
It turned out to be a perfect day for shooting black rifles. Hardly any wind and temps that never got above the mid 80s.
We had a lot of help getting things going which makes things go so much smoother.
Huge thanks to Justin and Charlene. Without them, there would be no match. And... thanks to Sternberg. Without him, there would be no port arms start position.
Hurry up and sign up for the State Tactical Rifle Match. There is a wait list going, but there has been a lot of movement on the wait list recently. Sign up at this link. https://practiscore.com/colorado-state-tactical-rifle-2021-championship/register?

Fun times today and not bad weather at all for August in Pueblo.
Please check your ammo. Someone shot the match today with some sort of AP/bi-metal/solids of some sort. They did a number on the VTAC target and the targets on the 200 yard range. It looks like some sort of brass bullet or something based on the impacts and chips left in the?targets. Steel prices are through the?roof right now.I would rather keep match fees low rather than replace targets...
Remember next month is the annual AR vs AK match on the 4th Sunday. It is also a team match if you want to compete for a plaque. One team member must use a "not an AR" of some sort and one of the guns must have a non-magnified optic of some sort or even irons. If you dont have a non AR or a partner, you can still shoot the match.
See some of you next Sunday for the 600 yard PRS match.

The morning match is totally full and there is a wait list going, but there is some room left in the noon match.
If your team partner dragged his feet signing up he can still shoot the noon match. We will combine your scores for placement even though you shot different matches.
One Team member must shoot a non-AR type rifle and one of the two rifles must have a non-magnified dot or irons.
You dont have a teammate to shoot. You dont even need an AK to shoot. If you dont have either, its just another match for you with much bigger and closer targets.
Hopefully I can squad for the afternoon

As of now the AK vs AR morning match is 110% full but there are a few slots left in the noon match. If you are shooting as a team, please let Charlene and I know asap. For team shooters, one gun must be a non-AR and one of them must have a non magnified optic like a dot or irons. You can figure out which is which.?Up to you. See you next Sunday.
Super fun match today, glad I made it!
Tons of fun today. Lots of "not an AR-15" out there getting some love.
We had an awesome set up crew that got the match stood up in record time.
Justin again did an incredible job with the plaque design.
Huge thanks to Stew from Traust Bags for making all the ammo bags for us. He also did the plaque laser engraving. He took time away from his busy sewing schedule to come out and shoot with us and maybe endure some verbal abuse. Be sure to show him some love on social media. If you ended up with a bag, please feel free to tell me what you like and dont like about the bag so he can make them better.
Congrats to everyone that shot the team match. Every year we get more and more teams.
See you soon. Thanks for everything.

quick question I need to practice running a bipod on my rifle around barricades, the vtac wall etc. Does that automatically move me to "Open" Division?

Tell you what. As long as you dont use it to support your rifle and only use it as a paperweight to snag on things, your fine.
Oh I fully expect to snag on things
Bringing 2 new shooters for the afternoon match.
Hoser, do you mind if we run with holstered unloaded pistols? (training for 2 gun Desert Brutality)
Here are the results for the last match of 2021. We had awesome help with set up and excellent weather. Scooter brought out the rifle that TimK just cant beat. Thanks to everyone that makes these matches happen. Justin, Charlene and I couldn't, and wouldn't, do it without you.

Hey Hoser, these matches are in PW? And do you allow spectators that are associated with a shooter? Don't think I'll be competition ready anytime soon. Just want to see how things are ran and what the courses of fire look like.

For the team aspect, does everyone sign up individually, or only one per team?
For the team aspect, does everyone sign up individually, or only one per team?
Each team member signs up and then lets staff know who is part of the team. We do the rest of the number crunching work.
One team member must shoot a non-AR type rifle and at least one of the two rifles must have irons or a non magnified dot. Which rifle gets the dot is up to the team.
Morning match full with a wait list.
A little room left in the noon match.
Here are the results from today match.
Not only did we have an awesome set up crew, but we raised a ton of money for Deputy Peerys family. Thank you to everyone that showed up today and put some cash in the bag. It meant something special this time.
Next month is the AR vs AK match. You can also shoot as a team as long as one shooter shoots something that isnt an AR and one of the two rifles has some sort of non magnified optic or irons. We will be giving away plaques to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place teams.
See you soon and remember to sign up for the matches as soon as they become available this Wednesday night. Unless you like spending time on the waitlist.

Nice, good to hear! Well I will see ya out there.
Wait, what's the reasoning behind not allowing projectiles with a mild steel jacket? We know that magnetic ≠ armor piercing, and that there's a difference between AP and steel jacket, right?
It's very simple to separate steel jacket from old import AP via headstamps.
I ask because this rule severely limits interest in participating, especially in light of covid era ammo prices.
Wait, what's the reasoning behind not allowing projectiles with a mild steel jacket? We know that magnetic ≠ armor piercing, and that there's a difference between AP and steel jacket, right?

There are 2 reasons actually.
1. Sparking hazard. None of us want to start a fire at the range.
2. Target damage. Yes. Even bi-metal jackets will tear up steel, especially in light of covid era AR-500 target prices.
If you look around, I am not the only club that does not allow ammo that will attract a magnet. And I am one of the very few that allows its use once a year at the AK vs AR match.
Each year I spend about 3-5K on steel targets, and that is with most of the people playing by the rules. A few people dont give a shit and shoot that stuff anyway. Eventually I find out who they are and they get 86ed from the match.

Imagine the time it will take for a Match Director to go through a dozen people's ammo to ensure they aren't shooting bi-metal bullets vs non bimetal steel case. Quite frankly, if you are one that believes this is irrelevant time spent so you can come out and shoot garbage ammo, you are wrong. Almost every minute of my time before a match is already spent setting the match up. The ricochet and fragmenting danger of the bi-metal bullets alone is reason to not allow it. At my match, I have shot steel as close as 50 yds. I know my matches attendance is down now, but I even started a 22LR and PCC divisions and I get only one or two max at a match. It's quite frankly not worth the effort for the extra steel set up time and I'm going to stop having those divisions. There have been ways around the ammo cost instead of allowing annoying destructive and dangerous ammo and nobody is taking the opportunity. So, no steel case at my match. If you do it at my or Hosers match when not allowed, there is consequences.
Good times today. Thanks to everyone that made it happen. And the Air Force Academy Cadet Shooting Team made it out to play with us.

Tomorrow should be good to go.
It is drying out fast.
Super fun match today. It started out pretty dicey with the fog, but it cleared up and it was almost t-shirt weather by the end of the day.
The great set up crew made it all happen in record time. And despite being the first match of the season, it went off without a hitch.
Dont forget, when you leave a berm, pick up your brass. Please. Give it back to me like I gave it to you.
See you next month. Good luck to everyone going to He-man Nationals.

Many thanks to the awesome set up crew that gets to the range to help make things happen for us. I couldn't and wouldn't do it without them.
Please be sure to always pick up your brass before you leave a stage. Don't assume someone else will pick it up for you.
