Sounds like a great match. Do you still have room for a couple of shooters?

 

[Cross C]

Yup, we have room, but we are almost there!

Just finalized the main areas and stages this last weekend before the last snow of the spring (hopefully) hit!

Throw around 90 targets on to a little of this in June and....

 

[MuleyTime]

Anyone from Utah going to this? This looks so cool, and I just may be able to swing it if my work schedule will allow.

 

[JRWALLSIII]

This looks like an awesome match! The scenery is amazing!

 

[Alpine 338]

What's the altitude there at the site, or what does it average throughout the course? Looking forward to to shooting this.

[MikeInUtah]

Anyone from Utah going to this? This looks so cool, and I just may be able to swing it if my work schedule will allow.

I am also thinking about it.

 

[MuleyTime]

I am also thinking about it.

This is very tempting….I would be alone, so if I can swing it I would be looking to carpool with someone.

 

[Cross C]

Altitude will range from 5500 to about 7000 during the match. We have 6 total areas and you will get some wide open shooting as well as some beautiful mountain landscapes as you see in the pics above. What is neat about our 1400-1500 yd shots is that it will be at or near the highest elevation you see during the match.

When is entry deadline?

 

[Cross C]

There is no deadline to enter. I would love to get some locals even at the last minute as it looks like the bulk of the showing will be from OK, CO, TX & UT.

 

[delfuego]

I wish I knew about this match sooner! Still may try to make it, looks like fun and is close to home...

 

[topfuel72]

Woo Hoo! I'm going to my first match.

 

[Cross C]

Woo Hoo! I'm going to my first match.

What to bring?
• Binos- bring them if you got them, as you can see in the pics below, you will want to look over that beautiful country.
• Lasers- are allowed to check our provided distances, but are not necessary.
• Bipod- If you have a extra longer one for more angled shots it could come in handy, if not use your bag.
• Bag and Kit- bring a pack with any kit you may need to carry tools, clothing, shooting bags, ammo etc.
• AMMO- there are 5 targets at each stage, there is 18 stages =90 targets, you will have up to 180 rounds max to complete the COF.
• We will have water and food on site.
• Good hiking shoes or boots along with gloves, elbow pads and knee pads may help keep cactus out of you. (there will be some light hiking, enough to make you pant for a few minutes.) We will definitely have plenty of water for folks to get hydrated because of the heat and elevation.

Targets are mostly all hangers averaging 1-1/2 to 2 moa in size.
ranges are from 300-1400 yards, the longer targets will have flashers on them to back up spotters.
We may ask squad members to help spot some targets and if the spotter elects to use your help he will ask.

Hello Everyone,

We were truly blessed at the rifle match this past Saturday & Sunday. The weather was amazing overall, but the wind was humbling at times. Thank you to all the sponsors, range officers & support staff, and definitely to the shooters. It was most certainly an unforgettable time and I want to sincerely thank you all! There was a tight points race at the top of the heap and Chase Stroud edged out the field with an amazing 137 points. Chase scored on 78.7% on the possible points and averaged almost an 8 out of 10 possible points on each stage.
