First time doing this was last year, and this year is rolling around for the 2nd Annual Invitational "High Country Steel Shootout".
A little back story..I live in a small ranching town, with some high country lookouts,great hunting,that offers some of the most challenging shooting experiences .(High/Low elevation,Deep canyons/Extreme angles and throw Idaho winds in the mix). Bear in mind..great folk shirt off their back type and same for me...but sometimes the bar stool shooting expertise gets a little deep.So the idea "sparked" to set all my steel, and get the rowdy bunch on the mountain! Enough talk lets walk.
The crowd here is without a doubt "shoot the wolves" chip on the shoulder hunting based type(ditto),so I based the stages on hunting "senarios".It was a humbling time for some, yet a fun time for all, and only more interest this year.Now that its planned for this year, I have cranked down the screws for the stages.Things like time pressure,offhand shots, to shooting at bigfoot,AND a possible ISIS invasion with a tannerite IED's involved..Just wanted to throw a line out to the hide, and see if they had any "ideas" or "scenarios" that would be a fun and challenging.I'm open to any and all ideas..
Here are some pictures from last year,there was a brutal wind and rained half the time but hey..If were worried about the weather,lets trade the guns in for a golf cart,duckbill hats,a tee time and a 30 pack.
