I'm thinking about going up there and shooting it, this is a new match up there and they have only had a few get together matches. This is their first sanctioned match. If anyone else wants to go I should have room in the vehicle.

Well, what a great match, for their first sanctioned match they had a few hiccups but everything went smooth. The only thing I can really complain about was they ran 1 squad. They could have split us into 2 groups to make it go faster but I think they realized that after we were done. I know I will be going back for another match. Lunch was provided, and as you can see from the pictures it was a little different setup then we were used to. I will post the results in the results section.

Wow, thanks for the write up and photos. How many of those concrete enclosed bays do they have? How many of the outdoor bays?
Are the matches held the same weekend every month? Does the range have a web site? I know lots of questions thanks for whatever you have.

And right in your old stomping grounds.

So the concrete enclosure was the "indoor" range. The shooting area is "inside" bit that area we were shooting is outside, that way they didn't have to deal with the EPA and all of their HVAC requirements for indoor ranges. We shot 4 stages in the indoor range. We rearranged after each stage which only took minutes and they did the whole course of fire inside with like 6 paper stands and 6 popper steel targets.

They only had the one stage outside but they were building another berm specifically to expand the shooting venue down there so they could do 3 gun and other disciplines. I think that with the berm they were building they had a total of 3 berms they could shoot in outside.

We also did a shotgun stage that was 12 rounds and 2 slugs. That was fun but I didn't get any photos of that.

We got some video footage but I need to download it so the quality is good.
