8 December - Panhandle Shooters Challenge registration is open!

The match will be a high tempo event with minimal “down time”. The course of fire will test and train disciplines from across law enforcement, military and practical marksman spectrums. Competitors can expect engagements from 50-1000yds at an assortment of steel, reactive, paper and automated moving targets. Targets size will vary in difficulty based on the shooters position, distance and time allotted. Most stages will include “stressors”, either time and/or movement. The competition will require 100 rounds to complete the course of fire and is caliber restricted to 300 WinMag and below.

Registration will be done by first come first serve basis; these matches will be limited to 40 competitors. Once the match date is announced send an email to [email protected] with the subject “Panhandle Shooter’s Challenge Registration” and your full name and contact information. You will receive a confirmation email shortly thereafter. A match fee of $75.00 will be due the morning of the match.

See our website for more information about us, our training and facilities. This is a match is designed to rival the best one day of the big national matches. So it is good sustainment training for some and a good azimuth check for others!

Being that this is a one day match, anyone that wants to save some money and stay at the bunkhouse or camp at the bunkhouse property is more than welcome to. It sleeps around 15 inside but can handle as many tents that you want to setup as possible. It has a kitchen and showers.

Anyone that is planning to stay at the bunkhouse or even if you just want to come by and hang out that Friday night, bring some steaks or whatever you want to grill up and we will have cookout. Dagsta, bring us some good eats from out your way!

Thanks, CP

Shooters,

There has been some interest in an open range day on Friday the day before the match. Since many are coming down to cook out and stay in the pavilion we figured it help you guys make a weekend of it. So from 10am to dark we will open the range to all shooters. Cost will be $30 for the day on Friday. We will fire up the mover and all ranges will be open to use.

Now THAT is awesome! Looks like I'll be heading up early on Friday and sleeping in the truck that night.

Ted,

No need to sleep in the truck. Bring some linen and stay in the pavilion. There is plenty of room.

CP,

Same for you brother.

Email sent. Looking forward to getting back down to K&M. Thanks Shannon and Bryan for opening the range on Friday. I hope to take advantage.
 
Re: Panhandle Shooters Challenge- 8 DEC 12 - @ K&M PRT

Guys make sure you send us an email if you are coming. We just want to make sure we track total numbers.

Shooting on Friday only will be fine, but expect harassment to stick around and shoot the match.

The pavilion/bunkhouse directions "Not at the Range":

From north turn on Looney road off of CR 180 or drive a few miles further down and follow these directions from Red Barrow Rd

From Baker "South" drive north to Red Barrow Rd.
Turn left onto Red Barrow rd
Drive 4.8 miles to the four way stopsign. Continue straight for another 1.4 miles and take left on Looney Rd.

Drive to end of pavement and turn right on dirt road.

Cross wood bridge and 1st entrance on left "big stainless steel gate"

Bring bedding and/or tent if you want to sleep outside. I will have the grill and the fire pit going so bring what you want to eat.

Re: Panhandle Shooters Challenge- 8 DEC 12 - @ K&M PRT

Heading up in the AM, Bryan and I will be at the range all day and away from the net.

We still have a few open slots if you are on the fence for the competition. Come on out!

Ryan,

I'll tell ya, this surgery is night and day compared to the last. I am feeling great already! Walking on my own power and minmal pain! Taking it easy never really worked for me.
 
Re: Panhandle Shooters Challenge- 8 DEC 12 - @ K&M PRT

I had a great time, it was good to see everyone. Thanks to Shannon, Bryan and Greg for all your work. The COF today was awesome. Looking forward to future matches.

Congrats to the guys that finished at the top of the field. Man a bunch of you guys were smokin' today.
 
Re: Panhandle Shooters Challenge- 8 DEC 12 - @ K&M PRT

Big thanks to Shannon, Bryan and Greg for an outstanding match...challenging but still rewarding...loved the shoothouse and milling stages...definitely an azimuth check to prepare properly for 2013...for anyone who hasn't been to K&M, its well worth the trip!
 
Re: Panhandle Shooters Challenge- 8 DEC 12 - @ K&M PRT

Another big THANK YOU! to Shannon, Bryan, Greg, and everyone else involved in putting on these matches (like your families who have to share you with us). I really appreciate all the hospitality you always show me when I come down. I had a great time, learn something new every time I shoot there. Congrats to Benjie, Joe, Jason, Mike, and everyone else who smoked me yesterday! Y'all shot great, and never fail to push me to train better.
 
Re: Panhandle Shooters Challenge- 8 DEC 12 - @ K&M PRT

Definitely another thankyou to brian shannon greg and family. I got to meet new faces,all of them super great competitors. I enjoyed listening to brian coach some shooters on friday, he is naturally gifted at this for sure.i always enjoy the informal settings to ask yalls opinions ideas on all things. Its a great group of folks at the k&m panhandle matches.some very talented shooters and no talented egos thats a real nice place to be.the course of fire is always changing and challenging. I always travel home with a renewed focus of my weak spots in training. The thing i enjoy most is watching you guys bring new shooters into the community and how quickly you can get them shooting so strong. Another job well done guys, i love shootin this place,thanks for the opportunity and all the hard work yall put into it.
 
Re: Panhandle Shooters Challenge- 8 DEC 12 - @ K&M PRT

Shannon and Bryan thanks again for another great match

It's hard to believe that just about a year ago it was nothing but pine trees. I always enjoying shooting at k&m and am amazed at what has happened in such a short period of time. It was great to see old friends and meet new ones yesterday.

Merry Christmas guys. See everyone in 2013
 
Re: Panhandle Shooters Challenge- 8 DEC 12 - @ K&M PRT

Just want to say thanks to Shannon, bryan, and greg.. This was my first time to k and m, and my first precision match. Everyone was extremely helpful, not once did i feel like it was a mistake to show up and just shoot. First class people, first class facility. This was literally one of the best times i've ever had. I will be back for sure!
 
Re: Panhandle Shooters Challenge- 8 DEC 12 - @ K&M PRT

This was my first tactical match and I had a blast!

Great bunch of guys and excellent hosts ( Bryan and Shannon) VERY organized. I walked back from the last stage and 5 minutes later the final scores sheets where out.

One of the best strings of fire that I have seen was J. Byrds performance at the hustle stage...it was awesome! When he nailed everything plus the mover right before it was hidden I was like NO WAY!!

I had a great time. The squad I was in was very humbling but inspiring at the same time. They where all VERY good shooters and very helpful to a new guy.

I will be back at K&M
 
Re: Panhandle Shooters Challenge- 8 DEC 12 - @ K&M PRT

This was the first time I shot this type of match. It was very challenging for me but I had a blast. Bryan, Shannon, and Greg are great guys, hospitality was great. Even my girlfriend felt very welcomed as a spectator. Will be back to shoot more of these. I think I'm hooked. Thanks for a great time.
 
Re: Panhandle Shooters Challenge- 8 DEC 12 - @ K&M PRT

Once again the K&M crew put on a fantastic match. I met some great new people and had a wonderful time.

Congrats Benjie for the win!! You shot very very strong all day.

I will see all of you at the next match for sure!

Joe
