Sorry gang, we tried but that late afternoon thunderstorm forced us to cancel the event.
Fingers crossed in hopes of pleasant weather next month!!

Are you planning for a match on Saturday?
I was just about to ask the same question.
Sorry gang but I do not know the status of Saturday's Carbine Match. My assumption is that, since the weather looks like is going to be nice this weekend, Mark is going to go ahead with it but, in all fairness, we'll have to wait for a match call email to be sure.

Since this is a fairly new type of shooting match in the Rocky Mountain region, it is still evolving though, in general the Carbine Match (officially named"USPSA Rifle") is an action-shooting event based on USPSA courses of fire where we engage targets (cardboard and steel) at distances ranging from 5 to 200 yards. Most participants shoot AR-style semi-automatic rifles either with optics (red-dots or scopes) or with open sights. It's a very fun and also challenging event.
Until a few months ago I, as well as others, was helping run this event but had to step down from my position as score keeper due to lack of time on my part. The person currently in charge Mark P. is in the process of assembling a new group of people to continue running this event. I am certain that he and the group of folks he chooses will continue to make this event a very fun one.
I don't doubt that Mark will post on this thread soon to let us know more about the planned change that we may be seeing in the 2018 shooting season. I think that he is better suited to answer any questions about this event that you may have.

Please do update this post if you would as I have not been successful in getting the mailing list to work for me. Weather looks good!
I can not run the match on Saturday due to other obligations. We need some folks who enjoy this match to step up and volunteer to help run it.
It is more than just putting some targets out. CRC has several requirements for match staff including safety issues, management of the sign-up scoring, etc. None of it is hard, but it takes several people to set-up and run matches.
Cy runs several other matches at CRC and elsewhere, as do I and most of the other folks that run matches. This is why folks get burned out.
So, no match on Saturday, right?
