Here's some more of the specifics for the match: equipment, ammo, odds-n-ends.

Procedure: Shooters start prone or sitting behind rifle with bolt/action open, bolt or action manipulation is required after the start signal. Multiple shooters shall not be on the line with loaded rifles. The intent is on precision over speed within reasonable constraints to keep the match moving along.
Upon start signal shooter may load rifle and engage target.

Divisions – Heavy rifle, 12+ pounds; Light rifle, under 12 pounds; Semi-Auto rifle; Pistol.

Accessories: Scopes, bi-pods, sandbags, rests, rear bags, monopods, muzzle brakes, laser rangefinders allowed. Suppressors specifically allowed and encouraged. Rests: the intent is “tactical” therefore we prefer folks not show up with Sleds and F-Class style bipods, they might be allowed on an individual basis (especially for new shooters, but will not be allowed over an extended period of time). Harris, Atlas, or Sinclair Tactical bipods are the standard. Bring your own shooting mat, a couple of mats/carpet pads might be available for new shooters.

40 gn minimum bullet weight and 210 gn max bullet weight at 3200fps max velocity is allowed. No caliber restrictions. Just be sure to check the bullet weight and velocity. We are adding the 3200fps limitation due to the fact that we would like the steel to last a full season. And, to begin with, much of the steel will be personally donated. Note: CRC does not allow .50BMG or Full Auto – neither would meet the criteria for this match anyway.

Steel Core, Armor-Piercing and Tracer/Incendiary ammo specifically *NOT* allowed. $100 fine per target that is damaged with above ammo. If you are shooting ammo that you did not load, check it with a magnet to make sure it isn’t steel core. If you damage the steel, you just bought it and it will get you DQ’d from the match.

Match re-entries are allowed (2nd guns especially in a different division).

The match starts around 10:00AM and set-up starts around 8:30AM. RJ or Ken will open the main gate by 8:30AM. Please leave the gate at you found it (usually open). Drive straight up the main entrance; Silhouette range is basically straight ahead (OK, a little jog to the left). East range pistol berms will be to your right.

Odds-n-Ends:
Can non-CRC members compete? Yes
CRC Liability release will need to be signed one time per year.

Expect the shooting to end by 3PM MT.

Sight-in shots are not allowed before the match unless you are a CRC member and go to a different range on the property. If you are not a CRC member, you may be able to grab someone who is that is willing to take you as a guest to the Schuetzen (100 yd & 200 yd berms) or other range. Do not set up centerfire rifle targets on the pistol berms on the East range.

Prevailing winds: it can be windy at CRC but they are mostly Southerly or Northerly winds (Tail or Head). We are shooting due North.

Please insure your firearm is unloaded and be aware of where you muzzle is pointed while coming to or leaving the shooting line.

No handling of firearms while persons are downrange.

There is no running water at the range. Porta-potties are available.

Target distances will be provided to the shooters (Range finders are allowed but not required.)

Spotting and the final decision on hit/miss will be done by the designated spotter.

Safety glasses and ear protection is required at all times (even for your guests).

What to bring:
Firearm with scope (.243 to 30-06 recommended)
Ammo (40-50 rds)
Ballistic Data (minimim dope required for the berm distances posted)
Bipod or other front rest (pack)
Rear Bean Bag
Shooting mat
Water/Lunch/Snack
Eye and Ear Protection

I will admit that the biggest pain that RJ and I went through trying to get this match created is the scheduling issue. Between the other LongRange Rifle events (Raton SportingRifle, WHAC Steel Dogs, Pueblo Dogs, Pueblo Tactical Rifle) and when the CRC Sihlouette range is available, conflicts with other matches were inevitable. And, we realized that conflicts with USPSA matches might happen since there's barely a weekend day these days that USPSA isn't shooting somewhere.
Once we blacked out the definite conflicts to matches that "our market" would be shooting (the LR matches) and the dates we couldn't get the range, the 4th Saturday was all that was left.
Therefore, the conflict with Weld 3Gun.

This is really unfortunate as, for one, I like to shoot the Weld 3Gun matches. And we were definitely hoping to have CRC LRPR be a match that the N. CO & WY guys might be interested in driving to for some LR practice. Anyway, the net net is that match scheduling these days on the front range is impossible. I guess that means we're pretty fortunate as shooters to have so many options.

The EasterSunday happened as the CRC Sihlouette guys had already decided to move from their normal match day (4th Sunday) to the Sat before Easter. Obviously those guys get first dibs as "they built the range" and are the very reason why we can add another fun LR match.
Not optimal but it'll give us a chance to work out some kinks at the first match anyway.

Too cool. I wont be able to make all of them, but the winter matches have my name all over them.

Thank you all for the great turn-out!

Thank you to Ken, Jess, Lane, Destiny, Jon, Fritz, and James for all of the help with set-up/tear down.

Thank you everyone for helping with ROing, scoring, spotting.

We might go to a staggered start similar to Pueblo's match next month, stay tuned.

I purposely put semi-auto second and didn't show the overall so it wasn't so obvious Ken beat everyone (even himself) with a gas gun.....
