Without a doubt. I don't want to turn people away but I have a cap on how many shooters I can handle.

And $40 is a screaming deal for a regional match.

This is more of a semi auto/pistol match correct? I have a bolt gun, set up for 100-300 yards (or 0-200 depending on how I zero the scope). Probably not ideal for this match correct? its heavy, always wears a bipod.

This generally consist of stages which have 4-8 pieces of steel. Ones a stop plate. You shoot each, from low ready, one round, then stop plate. Five strings. You'll want a semi rifle and pistol. 5 mags is a bonus.
his precision side match would favor your current set up, but I really don't know that much about it.

Shooting the High Power Match at CRC that weekend or I would have tried this out.

The main match is tailored around semi auto pistols and rifles.

However the precision side match is perfect for an accurate bolt gun.

Your in luck as you can shoot the whole match Friday **or** Saturday.

Friday is the across the course match Saturday and Sunday are the 600 yard matches. I really need to find a job where I work Monday thru Thursday as I always need to take vacation time to hit any Saturday activities.

[Grant H.]

Crap, I had planned to come watch, but now will be out of town.

[Jlorenzo]

The main match is tailed around semi auto pistols and rifles. However the precision side match is perfect for an accurate bolt gun. so there is are two different stages one semi and the other precision? One could just shoot the precision stage?

The precision side match is just one stage. Semi auto and bolt/manual rifles shoot the same stage. You can shoot the side match only if you wish.

The 9 stage main match is mainly aimed at semi autos although revolver, lever and pump guns have been used.

Yup. PM sent.

[richc2048]

Thank you!

[Hoser]

Last chance to get in.

[Hoser]

I was hoping Mother nature would be nicer to us, but she isn't going to be this time.

Tomorrow is going to be rainy and/or snowy and Saturday is going to be cold wet and windy.

Rather than be miserable we are going to moves the match to late June. Most likely 24-25 June.

And this will give you more time to find 22 ammo...

[Hoser]

Its official.

The new dates are 24-25 June.

Mother Nature will be nicer to us. No snow/mud/30-35 mph winds.

Still have a few slots left.

[richc2048]

[Hoser]

Got a few more apps in this week. Mother Nature will be nice to us.

Lots of room left in the precision rifle side match as well.

[Hoser]

With the date change I have had a few slots open up.

Get those apps in.

[Tim K]

Reminds me, I only need one gun for the main match, correct? I don't need a rifle and a pistol? Just one or the other?

[DocMedic]

Tim, you need both if you need to borrow a pistol your more then welcome to use my Spare 22 Beretta Target 87

[Tim K]

Thanks, Curtis. I'm good, I just didn't remember that we needed a pistol.
