Is the rifle part of the match shot from prone, or are there other required positions?

[Delfuego]

This is a fun match! Go shoot it. Beautiful range too.

Will this be laid back enough for someone looking to just advance skills, or will it be full of all-out competition types?

I don't give a rat's ass about who comes in first or last place, but I don't care to be around a bunch of jerks.

The match is laid back and geared for new shooters, hence the clinic being offered. Safe firearm handling is the only strict requirement

Weather we are a bunch of jerks is subjective but I would hope that is not the impression we leave.. :-)

There are one or two jerks that have muzzle brakes on their rifles. I know this because I’m one of the jerks and I car pool with the other jerk.

Is anyone heading to this event from the Denver area that I could car pool with? My car is in need of a brake job that I'm not sure I'll get done before this sunday.
