View Full Version : Pueblo Precision 600 Yard Field Rifle Match
Below is current as of Dec 2022.
Starting January 2015 Pueblo West Sportsmans Assn and Pikes Peak Practical Shooters will host the Precision 600 Yard Field Rifle Match. 9:30 start time. $15 per entry. 3rd Sunday, year round.
You will be able to verify your zero from 8:00-9:15
Pueblo West Sportsmans Assn
600 East Loma Drive
Pueblo West CO 81007
20 shooters max. If you do not sign up ahead of time you do not get to shoot. To get signed up, go to practiscore and look for Hosers Steel under the clubs tab or click on the link below. You don't pay when you sign up, you pay at the match.
https://practiscore.com/clubs/hosers-steel
If you sign up and don't show up, you took a slot from someone and they didn't get to shoot. That isn't cool. Make a habit of doing that and you might find it hard to sign up.
All centerfire calibers from 223 - 300 Win Mag are legal. 3200 fps speed limit. No bullet weight restrictions.
No tracer or steel core ammo allowed. If a magnet sticks to it, leave it at home. You will not like the $500 fine for using the above and I wont like my targets getting torn up.
Eye protection is required at all times while on the range.
The new 600 yard format will change things up a little bit. At 615, 300, 410, 500, 615, 615 and 390 yards there will be a bank of targets. A large target and a small target. When shooting prone you will shoot the small target. If you are not shooting prone, you will shoot the large target. Simple as that.
The 600 yard Certification is required for everyone. It is a one time deal and can be accomplished the day of the match. Contact me for details.
For now, we will still have the same positions (prone, ruck, sticks, and ??? of the day)
Three divisions. Semi-Auto, Bolt/Manual Action and He-Man. He-Man is 308 or larger.
Total round count is 56. 14 shots per position/stage. 90 seconds max.
Start position for all strings will be bolt closed for most strings, however the start position could vary. When the buzzer goes off shooter will engage all seven targets in no more than 90 seconds. Hit or miss the shooter will advance to the next target. Like the prairie dog matches of days gone by, only hits count. There is no penalty for misses.
Shooting sticks may have one, two or three points of contact and saddles may be used. You may not be any lower than sitting.
While shooting off a pack, no part of the rifle may touch the ground.
While shooting prone, a bi-pod or tri-pod may be used.
The "Position of the month" details will be given at the range on match day and will vary from month to month.
If you can not comply with a shooting positions criteria, you can shoot it however you want but hits will only be worth half (5 vs 10 points) value.
There is no minimum age limit. It is up to you as the parent to decide what is too young.
Slings will not be required, but could be very helpful.
Dave H are I are the match directors. Hit us up with any questions you might have.

This will be a great match to shoot other then on your belly. There are plenty of those around. I am really looking forward to being able to shoot different positions on the clock. PWSA has gone through a lot of trouble to keep the range one of the best shooting facilities you have the privilege to squeeze a trigger at a target. Hoser is just keeping us shooting. Thanks dude!!!!

The match was a ton of fun and a huge success in the attendance department. Everyone that I talked with seemed to really be having a good time, and while challenging, not impossible either.
Great job as usual Hoser!!!

I'm really pleased seeing you guys out there... God that was so much fun! [Beer]
Yep, awesome time with a good group of men and women. But I must say, when your buddy out shoots you with your own rifle, it kinda blows!!
Nice work Hoser! Awesome to get that level of turn out for the match. I hope it keeps up!
Thanks,

Had a great time & it was good to see everyone again.
A big THANKS to Hoser for keeping the dream alive.
Turns out I can shoot without laying on the ground ! Who would have guessed.
Zach I told you you could have my magazine to shoot the match. Super fun match thanks Hoser

One of the cool things about yesterday was two of my friends that are somewhat new to this type of shooting, showing up and kicking butt.
Jon shot my Accuracy International AW in 308 and kicked butt. He had never shot off sticks before much less with a borrowed gun at a 3x5 inch target at 300 yards. He just grabbed my old school sticks and started hammering away.
Sarah MFB came down from the Olympic Training Center and shot my LaRue OBR in 6 Grendel that forum member AKA-Spook built for me. She would finish the day with the second highest score despite a pink Magpul MOE grip.
Another cool thing was seeing all my friends that I had not seen in a few months since we hung up the Prairie Dog matches.
See you next month.

Loved the Match, Hoser! Don't get to shoot these positions regularly. Will be back for more!
Coolest niece ever.
String four was from inside the 4 wheeler trailer. Only one bag allowed inside with you.
A few different ways to do it. Below is my niece hitting 9 out of 10 with a 223 bolt gun.

THANKS for another great match Hoser! Match directors should get extra credit on cold days like that. It was impressive watching Brian W pound on that bonus target until it finally gave up!

Fun Match and great weather. Thanks Hoser and Dino and everyone who helped set up/run match. Always learn something watching and talking with lots of good shooters. Always seems to cost me money as well as I usually see some piece of gear that "I have to have". Came home with a very nice bag (thanks Stew)

Those "have to haves" have cost me thousands over the years. Just do it an don't think about it and justify it as a necessity for shooting.

This past Saturday we had a bunch of people come out for the match.
One very notable thing happened... A new shooter using borrowed gear showed up and cleaned everyones clock. His main experience was shooting smallbore (aka 22) 3P matches showing all you need is fundamentals and you can do well. Also showing that you shouldn't overlook the training value of shooting 22s.
Huge thanks to Team Burris for bring out the new Burris Spotting scope so all of us could get a sneak peek at the good stuff coming out of Burris.
Thanks to everyone for making this match happen. Without people helping, this match and others like it need help to continue on.
Last month someone borrowed a shooting mat and forgot to return it to the owner. If you are that person, please contact me and I will get you in touch with the owner. Also someone left behind a magazine last month. Contact me to claim it.
Next Sunday, 23 April is the Tactical Rifle Match and the Sunday after that, 30 April is the Rimfire Precision Rifle Match. See you there.
The old Pikes Peak prop that Eddie Rhodes made for us many years ago got dragged out. Turned out to be difficult until you figured out to grab ahold of the prop and your bipod.
Those of you that skipped last saturdays match missed a fun time.

It turned out to be an excellent day to shoot. Perfect temps, light breeze and good friends.
Huge thanks to the people that stepped up to run things when it looked like I would be in Florida flying hurricane support missions. I really appreciate it.
The position of the day was the short tank trap. Like really short. If you put too much pressure it rocked, not enough and your crosshairs danced around. The thought of this prop, for me anyway, your out Elk hunting and you see a big bull at 450 yards and you can't go prone because of the weeds but there is an old stump to use as a rest. There was several different ways to skin this cat. Even an 81 year old was willing to come play with us and Stu brought out his 16 inch 260.
The small target for the day was a 3x5 plate. Everyone hit it at least once. The other difficult target was a 6x6x6 triangle. If you hold center you don't have much room for wind errors, hold low you might miss under, ect. I missed that damn thing twice, once off sticks and once off the tank trap.
Traust shooting bags were used by a huge majority of the shooters.
Results went out last night. Let me know if you didn't get them.

Beyond rifle and ammo, what gear do you recommend for match?
Bi-pod, sticks, rear bag, backpack, spare mags.
A sling can be useful but isn't used that often.
Fun times yesterday with absolutely perfect weather.
Reminder, if you sign up for the match and can't make it, please inform match staff asap. When you don't show up, it means someone that was on the wait list wasn't able to shoot the match.
Yesterday morning the position of the day was a ladder. You could use whatever support equipment you wanted to shoot 5 targets from different steps, in 90 seconds. Tim opted to shoot it straight up with just a bag and a rifle. Kevin showed us all how it is done using a tripod as rear support.
The afternoon match we used a wire spool and a barrel. 5 shots in 75 seconds. It turned out to be very difficult and not steady at all with only one person hitting all 10 targets and a few 9/10s. The tight time limit made using a tripod for a rear support a wash. More stable but a lot of time for setting up.
Huge thanks to Bison Tactical in Boulder for letting us use one of his new Tactical Udder front bags. Pretty much all you saw was Traust rear bags and the Tactical Udder.

Dammit! I went to bed happy last night thinking I finally beat Hoser at something..... shoulda known he’d squeak me by a point.[BooHoo]
Thanks Hoser for sticking your neck out there and herding us cats around to put this match on. It’s much appreciated.
The sign up link is up and running for the 17 Feb morning and noon 300 yard matches. https://practiscore.com/clubs/hosers-steel
All $$$ from this match will go DIRECTLY to Deputy Micha Flicks family. Micha leaves behind a wife and 7 year old twins. A donations jar will also be avail.

Micah is survived by his wife and 7-year-old twins. He was a native of Colorado Springs and graduated from Colorado Springs Christian School. Born Aug. 20, 1983. His current assignment was as a detective in the investigations division and he has served in the jail at CJC's floor security and court and transport with the Special Response Team and on patrol.

It is worth mentioning that Mary Beth and Charlene made a bunch of boys cry yesterday...
Sign up is available for next Sundays rimfire matches.

Don't forget that when you sign up for a match and don't show up, it means someone on the wait list didn't get to shoot. Not cool.

Sometimes its hard to be kinda short. We didn't have any phonebooks for her to stand on. Everyone that stayed home got beat by a girl. Like a rock Star she used a Bison Tactical Udder bag for support.

Here are the links to todays matches. It started out a little cold but it warmed up nicely. We had several people show up early to help with set up and everyone helped out with spotting, running the timer and iPad for scoring.
Huge thanks to Dino from Team Burris. He got there early and stayed late to be sure everything was taken care of. Without him these matches would not happen. Please tell him thank you the next time you see him.
Next Sunday is the first Tactical Rifle Match of 2018. See you there. You can sign up at practiscore.com. Look for Hosers Steel under the clubs dropdown. Or cut and paste this link. https://practiscore.com/clubs/hosers-steel
Lastly, thanks to everyone that donated to Deputy Flicks fund. We raised a lot of $$$ for his widow and kids.

See you next Sunday.
Fun times yesterday. While it started out cold, it warmed up to t-shirt weather by noon.
Lots of high scores with light winds to deal with.
The morning position of the day was inside the trailer with one bag for the first string, and anything you wanted for the second string. The catch was you had to zero your turret to turn it into a holdover exercise as well. That is assuming you had a 100 yard zero. If you use a 300 yard zero, you just got to shoot. Or, you simply forgot to hold over even though the stage concept was your idea...
The Bison Tactical Udder bag was a huge help and most everyone opted to use it. And, Scotty reminded us that right now they are on sale. https://www.bisontactical.com/collections/slings-swivels/products/tactical-udder-field-bag
Results are avail here. Lots of 6 Dasher shooters at the top of the heap.

Fun match yesterday. Everything ran smooth and the weather wasn't too bad. Winds in the morning match made things interesting. 1 completely new shooter and 1 new shooter to the match did well.
Great shooting Eric (morning match).
Glad everyone liked the position of the day. It was simple and no setup needed. Your welcome!!
The reason things ran smooth is because of how Charlene had the match setup. With only 4 squads the same people RO'ed, scored and spotted for 2 squads. That really makes the match flow when we don't have to beg to get it done. Thanks to some good friends stepping up to spot and score when I was RO'ing (Tim and Stew). Thanks it is so much fun to shoot a match and have those 2 things taken care of.
Thanks to the entertainment committee (Zach Olson & Steve Cohen) for keeping things lively.
Lastly, thank you Charlene. She just does everything that is needed to run the match. Putting in time setting up practiscore, the electronic scoring, and setup you name it she does it.
Hoser stay safe see you soon!!
Great match today. Thanks to Charlene for running the show so well!
Changes for taking the match up to the 600 yard range.
#1. If you have not shot on the PWSA 600 yard range *and* received a 600 yard certification card, you cant not shoot this match until you get your card. It is a simple process that can be accomplished on match day. We have 5 slots set aside before the 8:30 match and 10 slots for the 12:00 match to accomplish this.
#2. We will have 5 target banks from 300-620 yards. When shooting prone you will engage the small target at that distance. When shooting in any position other than prone, you will engage the larger target. Simple as that.
#3. Because target distances are further and there will be knob twisting involved, time limits will change. For now, plan on 60 and 90 seconds per string.
#4. When shooting the non-prone portions, which was 30 of the 40 shots, we will change it up also. In the end, you will shoot 15 of the 40 shots from a non-prone position.
#2, 3 and 4 are subject to change as the match evolves.
#1 is non-negotiable. If you need the cert (a one time deal) you *must* arrive at the range 45 minutes prior to the published match start time. You have to contact match staff ahead of time to be sure we have slots to get you completed.
Post #1 in this thread still has all the important info and rules.
.
Good times yesterday. Thanks a ton to everyone that made this happen. This was the first time in a few years that we have been able to get back up on the 600.
We had an awesome set up crew (Daniel, Tim and Dave) that showed up at 7:00 to get things going. We were set up in record time despite every target location being new.
Everyone stuck around to help tear it all down. Thanks to everyone that made it happen.
Dont forget, the 600 yard certification process is 100% mandatory for all PWSA members and non-members. It is a one time deal. But.... you must complete it before you can play in this match. Contact me directly for more details.

The move to 600 definitely has made this a new challenge, very cool match.
Good times yesterday. Several new shooters came out to play in the wind. Lots of switchy conditions made you stay on your toes for every shot.
Thanks to everyone that came out early to make it happen and those that stayed late to clean it up.
Please note, if you have not yet been certified to shoot on the 600, you need to contact match staff BEFORE signing up. This ensures we have a board member available to get you signed off. The 600 yard certification is mandatory for everyone, members and non-members and is a 1 time deal.

Fun times yesterday despite the winds and heat. The winds were strong and gusty most all day. Congrats to Eric Z for figuring out the wind puzzle.
When we wrapped up around 1:30 it was right around 100-102 and the 15-20 MPH winds made it seem like your head was in an oven.
Changes are coming for this match.
1. Moving to the 3rd Sunday.
2. Noon match going away.
3. 8:30 match starting at 9:30.
4. Round count bumping up to 56 shots.
The match will still be very focused on the fundamentals of an average RPS/NRL match. Hopefully having everything set up by 8:00 just like we do now will allow new shooters some time to get used to how things work and verify their dope to be 100% accurate by match start time. With 16 slots avail I expect to wrap up around 1:30-2:00.
The shooting will still be tough with 1.5-3.5 MOA sized targets.
If there are open slots left on the day before, people can opt to shoot a second gun. But please contact me before you sign up a second gun. If you sign up for 2 guns right off the bat, I will contact you to find out which one you want to shoot.

And the August match is in the books. https://practiscore.com/results/html/609dfac2-8d96-4b07-b1f8-4b1eb2098147?page=overall-combined
The new format worked well. It took a string or two but we think we have settled on 75 seconds (prone) and 100 seconds (positional) for each string of 7 shots.
Having the targets avail for new shooters to get used to PRS/NRL type shooting for 90 minutes is a huge plus. That makes this a relatively new shooter friendly PRS match. The targets are still small, but thats the challenge.
And people got to learn some things on how to speed up and be more efficient while engaging targets at different distances. So that was a win.
Great match today. Mild temps and minimal winds.
We had excellent help setting up and getting things going. Tear down also went smooth and fast. Huge thanks to the people that show up early and stay late to make sure it all happens.
Here is the link to the results. https://practiscore.com/results/html/d9f51168-b80a-443c-9646-a2a4ec3f5831?page=overall-combined
See some of you Wednesday and everyone else Sunday.
Good times yesterday with great weather as a bonus. There was a ton of people there bright and early to help get things set up. Thanks a bunch for your help. This match cant survive without people helping out.
Pay close attention to the results. Mary Beth got her new batch of 6.5 Creed ammo from Prime and she kicked some serious butt with it. And she shot both the positions of the day straight up, one bag and her gun.

Two different props and three different ways to shoot from them. We are shooting at 4-12 inch targets from 300-615 yards. You had 120 seconds for 7 shots.

Other than MB, is it a requirement to be butt ugly to shoot this match? Asking for an ugly friend.

Not a requirement, but you can gain a few pity points.

Thank you to Gary Dean for all the help he has given all our matches these past years. I could not have asked for a better Assistant Match Director. Not only did he cover for me when Uncle Sam had me out of town, but he kept me from doing stupid things. Without Dino, these matches would never had happened.
We had a ton of help with set up yesterday despite the single digit temps. Huge thanks to everyone that comes out early to help to make sure these matches can continue.
Here is the link to yesterdays scores.

Dont forget, if you sign up for a match and cant make it, let match staff know asap. We still had a few no shows. The people on the wait list didnt get to shoot.
Dino, you will be missed around here. You were one of the first guys to take pity on this dumb FNG all those years ago and offer some help. You’ve been instrumental in bringing a large number of new shooters for over to the dark side of precision shooting by your dedication and hard work at this match.
You are a fine human being and a hell of a lot of fun to get drunk with!
It is a little known fact that Justin Beiber is a shooter.
Here he is shooting off the jersey barrier Sunday afternoon.

Really enjoyed my first 600 match with everyone today. Thanks.
Fun times today. It was a bit chilly and wet, but we managed to get it done.
Huge thanks to Tim K for his idea on how to change up the position of the day. This change easily cuts an hour off the match and gets rid of some of the down time between stages. Round count still holds at 56.
Next Sundays Tactical Rifle match is still set to go. However, the morning match is completely full with 9 people on the wait list. There is still some room in the noon match.
Lastly, dont forget Wednesday afternoon steel challenge starts up in April.
See you next Sunday.

It was nice to get back out there and see everyone yesterday. We had several people show up early to be sure set up went smooth. We were checking zeros at 8:00. Huge thanks to everyone that comes out early to make sure we can all shoot.
George came up with the position of the day and it was tough for sure, but not impossible. The new AA Targets Wind Doping Target worked flawless. We will be shooting it more often.
Special thanks to Zach Olson who did all the spotting for us yesterday while MB kicked butt.
See some of you next Sunday for Tactical Rifle and/or Wednesday afternoon steel.

It turned out to be a perfect day to shoot. It didnt even get to 90 degrees and there was a breeze just to keep things interesting.
We had a lot of people show up early to help get things set up. Without people helping, this match and all of them like it, cant continue.
Special thanks to Eric G for pretty much being the primary RO on the position of the day, all day.

See some of you next Sunday for Tactical Rifle. The morning match is totally full with lots on the wait list. The noon match only has a couple open slots.
Fun match today with awesome weather. It didnt even make it to 90' and the smoke wasnt bad at all today. Two days ago seeing the targets might have been a challenge.

Also huge thanks to everyone that got there early to help set things up. We were ready to go by 8:10.
We also had 4 new shooters today and everyone had a good time.

Despite some stupid winds, we all survived. I guess it was a poor choice on my part to shoot a 223 today...
We had a ton of help getting things set up today. I really appreciate it. It makes the whole day go better.
It is absolutely worth noting that we had one father daughter team and two father son teams out there today. Pretty damn cool.
Dont forget that next months match sign up opens at midnight on 01 January.
Merry Christmas everyone.See you soon.

We had a lot of help with setting things up this morning, despite the cold. Thank you so much for those that are willing to wake up early and lend a hand. Without people helping out, this match would not happen.

We miss you too.
Everyone always asks about you. I have to explain why you snuck out in the middle of the night.
March match is already full? I guess I snoozed and I lost, stuck on the wait list with all the UNcool kids.. :-)

I tell people to get on it and don’t drag your feet.
There is usually some people that cancel the week before so you might get in.
Fun times today even with unusually high winds.
We had a lot of people show up early and help with set up. Thank you so much. We couldnt and wouldnt do it without you.
Lastly, if you sign up, please show up. When you don't show up it means someone on the waitlist didn't get to shoot.
Next Sundays Tactical Rifle Match is all set and ready to go. The 9:00 match is full but the noon match has a few openings left.
The State Championship in June is full, but there has been some movement on the waitlist because people haven't sent in their payment. After 30 days of non-payment, you are moved to the waitlist and someone on the waitlist gets your spot.

It was pretty cold and miserable for set up and the first couple hours. Luckily it warmed up.
Huge thanks to Tim Gordon that came out to help even though he wasnt shooting today.
Check your gear for something you might have left at the range. Here is a hint, it does not have your name on it. Let me know what you are missing to claim it.

Next Sunday is our normal Tactical Rifle Match. The morning match is full, but there is some room left in the noon match. See you then. https://practiscore.com/clubs/hosers-steel
We had a little bit of a skeleton crew for set up, but we got it going.
Dave had awesome ideas for the position of the day. Not stupid hard but something we have never done before.
I am still on the hunt for people to help with the Police and Fire Games on 27-28 July. Rifle on the 27th and pistol on the 28th. You will be able to shoot, but not for prizes. Contact me for more info.

Thanks again for everyone that helps make these matches happen. Showing up early to set up, stayling late to tear down, manning the spotting scope ect. It takes people helping out.
See some of you next Sunday, 29 Aug, for the monthly rimfire matches. Belly match in the morning and PRS after lunch.
Here are the results to todays match. Not many people so we were done in record time.?The winds were a factor for a while but they tapered off and didnt?cause much havok after that.

I only have one slot left for new shooter check outs this month.
Did you send me an email or a PM here on the forum?
I think i figured it out, i just sent a pm
Amazing weather out there today. It was a fun day with a great group of friends. Welcome back MB Deadly!
Fun match yesterday. We had some really good weather up until the last 45 minutes or so.
It was a day of Accuracy Internationals it seemed. There were three of the new AT-X rifles, one AX and one ASR.
If you left something behind that did not have your name on it, contact me to claim your prize.

Next Sunday is rimfire. Be there.
Lots and lots of wind today made things difficult. The toughest winds in Pueblo I think we have ever seen.
Congrats to Scooter for bringing home the win and beating me with my own can.

Kneeling behind a bench and only using a single bag (no bipod) for support is tough. These two rocked it.

Fun times today and a very tough position of the day. And the weather was really nice.

See you all next month and some of you next Sunday at the rimfire precision match. There is a couple slots left if you wanna come play.
Forgot to mention that this months match is full. But the range did get some snow. Hopefully it will melt off and not turn to mud...

Tim shot really well despite some ugly conditions. Wind isnt bad, gusty wind bad.

We had awesome help getting things set up today. Huge thanks to everyone that comes out early so we have a match to shoot.
Many thanks to Zach Olson for spotting most all day while MB beat up on us.
There is still some room in this Saturdays (22 April) rimfire match. However both Sundays Tactical Rifle matches are full with plenty of people on the wait lists.
https://practiscore.com/results/html/5cb14e12-ab0c-4af3-af43-7c6c1ea14317?page=overall-combined
See you all next month.
You say the words "Gas Gun at 600 yards" and everyone gets scared.
Grab a rifle, gasser or bolt gun, and get out there.
If it was easy, girls could do it.

With all the rain this past 10-12 days it didnt take long for tonights unexpected downpour to turn the range into a swamp.
Cancel.
Next month will again be Semi-auto Sunday where antique turn bolt guns are tolerated and modern self loading rifles reign supreme.
I had a couple slots open up for this Sundays match.
Hope to see you there.
https://practiscore.com/clubs/hosers-steel
Lots of fun today. Most everyone showed up with a (SA) gas gun.

One of the shooting positions is shooting off a bench. However, you do not get to use a bipod, a chair or anything like that. Just you, your rifle and a single bag. Large or small bag, no matter. It is actually kind of awkward. And when shooting at targets out to 600 yards that might be 10-12 inch diameter steel targets it isnt easy.
Most people shot small frame ARs like 223 guns although a few guys brought their 6.5 Creedmore and 308s out to play. In the end, the 6 ARC and 6 Grendel came out on top. And lot of people used a can which makes everyone happy.

With the semi auto match being a huge hit, one shooter had an idea for another once a year match.
Suppressor only and subsonic only match. Still playing with details, but guessing it will only go out to 300 yards.
5 targets, big to small. Guessing a full size IPSC down to a 6-8 inch diamond. Maybe a bonus target off to the side for anyone that shoots a string clean.
Right now I am looking at December of January sometime.
Let me know your thoughts and or ideas.
I have had several shooters over the years ask for a Suppressor Only match, kind of like the Quiet Riot in Utah.
It took some head scratching on how to do this and make it different enough to be a thing.
After our hugely successful semi auto only match in June, we came up with a plan.
Suppressor and Subsonic ammo match.
You have to use a can and shoot subs.
Nothing but steel targets at 300 yards. Various shapes and sizes. 5 stages and 50 rounds total.
Being subs only, the targets will be pretty large by normal bolt gun standards.
I will have loaner gear avail. Pretty much Thunderbeast suppressors and Accuracy International rifles. But you have to pay for my reloading components.
We will be doing this in January to give you some time to work up an accurate and quiet load.
https://practiscore.com/hosers-quiet-precision-match-300-yards-suppressors-and-subs-only/register
Sounds like fun. I'll try to make my .260 subsonic.
Fun times today. Nice steady winds most all day until the last stage, and then it caught most everyone off guard.
Only a few more weeks left on the Wednesday afternoon steel matches.
Next weekend is busy with rimfire on Saturday and Tactical Rifle on Sunday. Hope to see you then.

Good times today. Thanks for all the help with everything.
Huge thanks to Ditt for manning the spotting scope all day even though he didnt have to.
https://practiscore.com/results/html/483beb0d-3b7c-4147-9c40-05a942aceb38?page=overall-combined
Next Sunday is the annual AK vs AR match.
The January 600 yard match will be held on the 300 yard range and will be a suppressor and silencer only match. I will have loner guns avail.
Paul brought his skid steer down and we now have a target at 500 yards. The targets at 600 yards also got moved so set up and tear down got easier.
Still some room left for this Sundays match.
This months match is open. With the Ft Carson range being closed for rifle shooting you might want to get signed up soon or you will be stuck on the wait list.
Everything is set for this months semi auto "Mad Minute" match. The emphasis is semi autos, but bolt guns can play also.
Please keep in mind that Sunday is Fathers Day and you might want to verify with your other half that you are allowed to have the morning off to play with the other kids in Pueblo.
Set up starts at 7:00, the new shooter certification starts at 8:00 and the match will start around 9:15-9:30. Its going to be a scorcher, so the sooner we can start the sooner we can beat the heat.
See you Sunday.
