This Saturday (the 24th) there is a precision rifle match at Colorado Rifle Club which is northeast of Byers, Co. The entire match (50 rounds) is shot from the prone position even though the match description on the website says there is some movement. Set up at 8:00, shots downrange at 9:00. Match fees are $20.

Long Range Precision Rifle
Long range precision rifle competition is intended to provide long range rifle shooting situations encountered in hunting or in the growing disciplines often referred to as “Long Range Practical/Tactical”. It consists of shooting at reactive metallic targets (targets that move when hit), at ranges of 219-547 yards. Matches consist of approximately 50 shots with a competitor’s choice of different centerfire rifles (with a class for rifle-caliber chambered pistols). Common calibers are .243, 6mm variants, 6.5mm variants, 7mm variants, and .308 and optics with greater than 4x magnification almost a must (3200fps velocity limit). Target sizes range from slightly smaller than prairie dogs to marginally larger at the longer distances. Shooters fire one at a time, with a time allotment of 15 seconds for each of 10 shots per stage. Competitions may include field courses with movement, barricades, obstacles or alternate shooting positions.
