Lake George MLC 3-Gun

[Fromk]

Lake George 3-Gun matches are held on the 4th Saturday of the month between April and October with the occasional bonus matches the rest of the year. Start time is at 9:30, setup and sign-up start at 8:30. The match fee is $15. We generally have four stages that put all three guns to work. Stages will be emailed out to the email list and posted on this thread through a Google Drive account the Sunday or Monday before.

The match is held at the M Lazy C Ranch near Lake George. Official rules and safety information about the range can be found at http://www.coloradocowboys.net/sts/41-3gunshoot/61-3-gun- tactical- match-rules. The location of the ranch and general information can be found at http://www.mlazyc.com/.

I can be contacted through PM here or at michael.fromknecht@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like to be added to the email list.

We're back everybody!

We're having the first match on March 29th along with a 3-gun clinic and swap meet.

I don't know about all of you but I think this winter has gone on long enough. Let's get out to the range for a new 3-gun season!

We're going to kick things off a little differently this year. Randy had the great idea of combining a shorter, 3 stage match with a clinic, swap meet, and a slightly later start time so it can warm up a little.

We want to welcome and encourage new shooters. My plan is to get there a little early to take some time with newer people, shoot the match, and then invite everyone to hang out afterwards. We can reshoot stages, slow things down, get some good practice time, and have a nice day at the range. We can also set up some mini stages together to try some things out. I know we have a lot of experienced shooters that also happen to be nice, helpful guys. So bring a friend. Pass the word along. It should be a great day for new and experienced 3-gunners alike.

Another new feature is a swap meet. Bring your old gear and guns and let them live again. Randy has offered to do transfers on site. I'm sure there will be some details to work out but this could be something that continues on.

I think I'd like to start the match around 10:00. It will just be for this month. I'll give a solid time when I send out the stages. I will also probably be there at my usual 8:30ish time to start setting up.

I'll send out another email with stages Sunday or Monday night as usual. The same invitation goes out to everyone that wants to help design them all through the year. Even if you just have an idea for part of a stage that you want to see become a reality. We had some great contributions last year that kept things fresh.

I think that about covers it for now but more information will follow as we get closer. Please contact me with anything I can help out with.

Great idea.

For those why may not have a good zero on their optics, what are the chances of having the opportunity for a few ranging shots prior to the match?

No problem at all. Just announce that the range is going hot and make sure anyone that's close has their ears on.

Checked again today.
For those that do not know where the range is.....
If you go to the home page, and click "Where we are" it goes to a blank page.

I'll notify Randy that the page isn't working. Here's the information:

M Lazy C Ranch
801 County Road 453
Lake George, CO 80827

Searching "M Lazy C Ranch" in Google maps works just as well. It's about 4 miles west of the town of Lake George on the 24. Look for the big red sign on the north side of the road.

Here are the stages for this Saturday's match. As always they're subject to change but round counts will be similar if they do. Since we are starting at 10:00 and doing the clinics afterwards there are only three stages this time. I think it will be a good way for everyone to get warmed up.

Remember that after we're done everyone is welcome to hang out, reshoot stages, and generally get some practice in. We want to do our best to get some new shooters into the fold and this seems like a pretty good way to do it. The response to the last email has been very positive and I'm really excited for this weekend.

You'll notice some new props on the stages. My neighbor (and recent newcomer to 3-gun) has been helping me put some new barricades together. There's a picture attached for reference. I think they're going to add a lot to the stage designs.

The match fee is $15. Sign-up and setup will start around 8:30.

Bump for the match tomorrow. Looks like it's going to be a bit chilly during setup but will get into the 50's later. Sounds pretty good to me.

Can you give some directions on where to go once I enter the ranch?
From Google maps, I can't tell where the range is on the property. Maybe it's obvious, just don't want to wander around on the property if not.
Thanks, we'll see yall tomorrow.
