    Default Match end time

    It looks like you have quite a number of shooters, how late in the day do the matches normally run?

    Thanks in advance.

    Last month, if I didn't wait for the side match, I could have been done around 1:00pm. I waited till after 3:00pm, but ran out of time and still didn't get a chance to shoot the shotgun side match.

    It varies by the amount of shooters, but if you have to go to work or something, just politely ask for you to be moved to the front of your group.

    Anyone know if the match is still going to happen this Saturday after all this rain business?

    Rain??? They got snow up there. Hopefully it melts off today and dries up a bit.

    Check the forum one last time before you head up Saturday morning to make sure it is still on.

    As far as match end time, usually between 1:00 and 3:00. Side matches have been known to go as late as 5:00.

    Thanks Sticks. I figured it was snow. Either way, I hope the match is still a go.

    Another great match today! It sure was chilly though. I wasted the sunscreen I put on at home. People were envious of my fresh, hot, homemade chili. The fog on the way up was pretty crazy as well. I started in Bay 3 with the Texas star in case anyone was in my group.

    One of the Range Officers was talking about a double Texas star that was gear driven. I mentioned tossing some no-shoots into the mix and he said he's seen something like that. I came home and found this one.

    Not a valid shooting challenge, bubblegum all the way. The scoring issues alone from frag and possible deflected bullets would be a reshoot nightmare. Doubt you'll ever see one of those in Eco.
    Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.
