I really enjoy this match. Thank you.

Hope there's enough interest to do one more this season. Maybe yes?

How about a night-time match?

That's way more than this match is capable of taking on at this point. I'm still working on stage flow and props. I could see a two day state match in the future at some point. Props, match staff, and experience are still too thin for that, but we'll get there.

After discussing it with match staff, we are going to schedule the match for October and November, shut it down for Dec, Jan , and Feb, and then restart it in March. November and March will be heavily dependent on the weather, but we will schedule the matches and then cancel if needed.

October Match sign up will not be opened until the week before the match. Too many people are signing up and then cancelling. It adds to my pre-match workload.

Sign up is open for the 5 Oct match.

I posted three of the stages into Practiscore under the "stages" menu. Never messed with it before. Post here if you can see the stages. I can't see what you see on Practiscore because my profile essentially owns the match.

The 200 yard stage tries to download a pptx file my computer has no idea what to do with.

The other two link to png's and display fine. They have a lot of pistol talk for an all rifle match but that's another thing.

There is a pistol division, so I add pistol info to the stages. The first time I don't will be the first time I need it. Thanks for checking.

PPTX is a powerpoint file.

I'm going to root around in my basement and see if I've got any more ammo...

There is room for walk in tomorrow if anyone decides at that last minute to shoot. Get shooting while you can. They are talking about snow in N. CO next week. Tomorrow's weather look pretty good.

Today's match was great. Really, really fun stages. Huge props to the MD and all the rest of the people who worked to make it happen! Already looking forward to the possibility of a November match.

If some of noticed there was a drone flying around at the beginning of the match, well here it is. There is like 5 seconds of the competition berms, but damn if they aren't WAY more used than the 3 minutes of shotgun shit that is a ghost town.

Its a shame the drone was so high as to not make the stage setups visible. Although I can tell that my 4Runner needs washing ....

I'm glad I was finally able to get out to shoot this match. It's definitely a different flavor from the Pueblo match and the match director and stage designers do a good job of putting it together and designing engaging and fun stages.

Whoa, now. Let's not get carried away or we will have to have new divisions for "SIGHTED IN RIFLE" and "CLEAN RIFLE" ...

I'm curious what BLGC paid to have that video done.

I'm sure they'll make it back in membership fees; that was a well done production.

Plus they saved whatever amount of money going with "Xylophone Rock II" B footage quality audio for the sound track.

I only ask because I'd like to see a similar video for CRC.

You can get those drones at Costco for like $600.

My assumption is that the video was done by a member, probably for free.

As long as BOD not involved, otherwise be like new member orientation...

The nice thing about Practiscore is, in looking at the results, I can see exactly where the wheels came flying off.

Well, lets see if the weather holds. 2 Nov 19 match registration is up and open. This will be the last match for the year and they will start back up in March next year, once again weather permitting.

5 stages; normal format.
