Monthly Sporting Rifle match RATON NM

Re: Monthly Sporting Rifle match RATON NM

First time out this past weekend, what a blast this event is to shoot. I will be going back again.

as a first timer I learned alot from my fellow squad 3 members, thanks to all the guys in my squad for making this a fun event.
 
Re: Monthly Sporting Rifle match RATON NM

I am planning on going to the 338 match next weekend. Whos going? I would like to share or split a ride down from denver. I need to get out to do some load work up. I had to have a root canal done today so I did not make it out to the range yet. Chris
 
Re: Monthly Sporting Rifle match RATON NM

The match is at the cannon range across from competitor housing . Don't have any more details yet other than set up will be Sun am and we will shoot after . Would expect start time to be 10am ish and set up around 8 ish . We're leaving straight from PWSA to go to NRAWC so hook up there and Mike can get You answers .

Re: Monthly Sporting Rifle match RATON NM

The match format will be similar to the PWSA and CRC matches just longer distance . The format isn't set in stone right now and there may be some glitches first time out the gate .

And yet another awesome match put on by Chuck and Mike at The Whittington Center. I thought there would have been more people there... After all, shooting 338s past 1,000 yards at steel is a hell of a good time.

Tough shooting for sure. Shooting in a mirage boil all day.

Many congrats on the good shooting Chuck.

Cant wait for the next match.

I was wondering the same thing, Buffalo Creek Gun Club up near Bailey has a ban on steel targets due to the fire danger.
 
Re: Monthly Sporting Rifle match RATON NM

Yet another fine SRM successfully in the books - thanks Mike, Chuck, and Michael for setting up and running. I think we had 44 shooters from at least 5 states - CO, WY, TX, AZ, NM. steve123 gets the long drive award.
 
Re: Monthly Sporting Rifle match RATON NM

A big thanks to Brad Peck who helped me out, the high temps really kicked my ass and had to call it after 9 stages, I was also fighting with high pressure with the ammo from the high temp's also broken extractor. It was fun until the heat was turned up!
 
Re: Monthly Sporting Rifle match RATON NM

I had a blast, thanks for having us out and the hospitality. I will be back out this year. Great group of guys and gals. I learned some new excuses and will be using them in the future. It was a pleasure meeting all the regulars and especially Tom and Barry who we shot with, you guys made shooting in the heat a blast. We made it back in about 10 hours. Anybody see the results yet?

That may not be the case. Myself and one other guy on our squad were totaled but do not show on the results. I am sure they just got missed when they entered them.
 
Re: Monthly Sporting Rifle match RATON NM

Waiting on the website to be updated , both scores slipped through some how . Summer is a busy time and since the webmaster is less than 2 weeks from running a national level match it may take a while .
 
Re: Monthly Sporting Rifle match RATON NM

Thanks for the Range Card rmfield! After three matches, I think I know where all the targets are now. All I have to do now is shoot at the correct target, and make sure I dial the correct dope.
