Great match today!
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.
Sign up for next months matches opens at midnight on 01 July.
Next Sunday, Precision and PRS Rimfire rifle. I have slots avail for both.
Below are the links to the match results.

Enjoyed the Texas star! That was new to me.
Thank you to everyone for a lovely day & fun match.
That was a lot of fun today! Hot n windy though!
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.
Scoring... dont forget, misses are misses. Dont give someone a procedural for a miss.
Sign up for next months matches open up in a few days at midnight.

We had a pretty good showing despite the forecast temps. Along with the forecast temps we also had a lot of no-shows...
We had a really good set up crew and it went very smooth as did tear down. Thanks to everyone that helps make these matches happen.

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
year. Dont drag your feet.
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/...-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.
The Team Match results are here. https://practiscore.com/results/html...team-combined?
Registration for ALL pueblo matches opens on the first of every month. Dont drag your feet signing up. ?You could get stuck on the wait list. Lastly, if you sign up for it, please show up for it. If you dont show, someone on the wait list couldnt shoot.

Bump for Sunday's match.
Don't have a go pro so please pardon my keister. ;-)

Hoser, Justin and especially Charlene have my thanks for this year's series. Greatly appreciate their work.
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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!!!Quote:

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.

The 9:00 match is full and has a long wait list.
There are two slots left in the noon match.
https://practiscore.com/clubs/hosers-steel
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...

The morning match is full and there is a wait list going. But there is room in the noon match.
We had a few last minute openings for the morning match pop up.
There is still some room in the noon match.

See you there.
Great squad & fun match. Bit of joy. Thanks everyone.
And here they are. A week early.
We had a ton of help with set up today. I cant say thank you enough. Without people helping set things up and getting it going there would be no match. We even got done before the rain.

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.

Just a reminder that sign up for the annual AK vs AR match opens tonight at midnight.

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.

This match was hella fun. Lots of new shooters, and an excellent variety of cool rifles came out to play.
In all the time I've been shooting this match, this one was the first time I've ever run a stage completely clean.
That's awesome.Quote:
