Unfortunately I can't make it Sunday anyway, too much other crazy going on.
New target layout is done , between 850 ish to 2023 .
First match on the new MRM course in the books . New set up is much harder . The 2 zoomies tied and Dino threw the whoopin in the shoot off .
GREAT Match!!!!!!!!!! Thanks again to Mike and Chuck.
Need to find a 40 MOA base [facepalm]
Heck of a good time Sunday. The new location is awesome. Shooting up against that mountain is really cool.
Close target is almost 900 yards and the far target is 2023 years. C Ward absolutely center punched it. It was really cool to watch. Bullet time of flight, 3.066 seconds and still retaining over 1,300 ft lbs of energy at impact.
I was never able to hit the close target or the far target. I blame society and the prick that reloads my ammo. All the other targets, I was able to connect with.
Mostly 338s on the line. stevenc23 shot his 6.5 Creed using factory ammo and did really well. One 300 Win Mag gas gun showed up, but it took a dump and he was not able to finish.
Dino also connected on the 2023 target for the tie and then kicked my ass in the shoot-off. He put a first round hit on a stop sign sized target at 1606 yards. Very very cool.
We had two groups. One quiet group and one noisy group.
The first picture shows the targets in the meadow going into the tree line. There are eleven targets total. Ten main match targets and a single bonus target. The bonus target to the left of the main targets (find target 7 & 8, spilt the diff and go right) is a 1 MOA target at one mile. Nobody hit it...
The third pic shows the firing line. One group shot while the other spotted.

Way cool match. The new location is............well holy shit is this the best fun you ever had with your clothes on and.............well you get the rest! Thanks to Mike and Chuck for securing a place where we can stretch our legs out on our .338 Lapua's. We had a great group Sunday for the new place. Having 3 spotters calling out what was seen really helped. Great match that no matter what help is given it still boils down to fundamentals to make a hit. It is awesome to touch off a round and have to wait to see impact. Way too much fun!
This is the spot and setup we were looking for when we started this . We're real happy with how it turned out . There may be some small changes depending on how the weeds and sunflowers grow up but the distances won't change much . At 2023 depending on MV and bullets it's right at the trans sonic range depending on conditions .
The format of the match itself may change depending on attendance but not much from what it is now .
One thought now is to get started earlier to dodge some of the mirage . Any idea and suggestions let Mike or I know and we can talk about it , anything to make a better match is worth talking about .
Glad people enjoyed the new set up , now keep coming down to shoot .
+1 on the fundamentals in this game. Recoil mangagement with the .338 and shot release have to be perfect at these distances - without that it doesn't matter how one calls the wind, which is another matter altogether....Quote:

That time of year again the match's start up again on 7 Feb and the schedule is on the website .
I'd enjoy seeing a quick AAR on the Feb SRM. Who won? Score? Wind? Mud? Snow cover? How many shooters? Etc.
Maybe others who couldn't make the match would also be interested. Or, maybe I'm the only one who wasn't there? LOL.
I believe Kevin U won with a 56
Wind wasn't a factor
Cold in the morning
Snow on the ground in some places
Muddy as all get out.
Yes you were the only one not there (besides the others who didn't show)
I think around 40 shooters
Hahaha. Great turnout for a Super Bowl Sunday when the Broncos were playing. Shows everybody has their priorities straight except me!
Good shootin' Kev! What a way to start the year, it's all down hill from here [Beer]Quote:

Great match yesterday. Lots & lots of people shooting long range now! Good to see some familiar faces. Thank you Chuck and Mike.
Good times for sure.
This was my first time shooting a gas gun at this match.
Forgive me but I did not read all 14 pages...
What is a "sporting rifle"? As in what are the rules/regs for what is allowed? IGNORE THIS, just clicked the link onthe first page. Second question still stands though!
Also, Hoser said gas gun... what other type is there? The DI? I don't know.
Gas gun as in semi auto as opposed to bolt action which is the majority choice by the shooters .
Google sporting rifle match and there are a mountain of pictures online .
The Magnum Rifle Match is this coming weekend . Shooting wil start at 8 AM with site in starting at approx 7 AM once final set up is finshed Sun morning . Before the match starts the access gates will be locked to keep people out of the area so if your running late the lock combo is the same as the SRM match lock , 5163 . Like last year any SRM legal rifle is GTG with the provision that hits may be hard to call on the targets .
Set up will be Sat afternoon and meet at the front gate at 13:00 .
The weather forcast for Raton is fugly for next weekend so stay tuned for updates here and on the website .
If i wasn't shooting Breakneck this weekend, I'd be there! I need to have Fritz spin up my new 7 tube and come down.
Promises , promises . That thing has a 338 barrel too .Quote:
