    I don't have any info to give, but would definitely appreciate any feedback post match. I like that range quite a bit and am quite jealous of the guys who shoot in the bristlecone matches (just too far for me), so something close to me would be nice.

    Hmm. That's pretty close to home compared to other places.

    It is a nice range and so far all their staff has been great to work with. Soon as the match rolls around I'll try and get some video and definitely let ya know how is it goes.

    Jego & I have been to the BC shoots. I could see it being a haul for you.

    The match was a great time. There were a lot of good quality people there along with the awesome staff. Match was pretty straight forward, shoot fast and don't miss. They did have iPads and a flat screen TV set up to display the brackets for the competition along with the one of the staff members announcing who was up next. They really did stress the safety on the range with clear commands as well. The competition was set up as double elimination with three classes; Novice, Intermediate, Expert. Novice shot 3 pins, Intermediate shot 4 pins, and Expert shot 5 pins. In the semi-final and final rounds everyone had to shoot 5 pins no matter their class. At the end of the match 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place were rewarded with a prize I believe. I think one of the prizes was a cool range bag that would definitely come in handy. (Didn't stick around to see the brand of the range bag) When I first talked to some of the other guys that participated in the pin competition I was a little worried I would be underpowered with a Glock 19 as they were using .357's, .44mags, and .45acp. Regardless I stuck with the Glock 19 and the pins dropped just fine even in the later rounds with more weight in the pins. Have any other questions just let me know boss.

    9mm is fine with rounds heavier than 115. How fast were the revolver guys?

    I was actually using the 115gr and they were dropping off great. Only had one spin on me but it was shitty shot placement my on part. In the 5pm-7pm group I was in there was not any one with a revolver. I have no idea on the 7pm-9pm group tho...
