Colorado Multi-Gun LLCpresents the 2008 Steel SafariJune 6-8, 2008 Blue Steel Ranch, Logan, NM http://www.coloradomultigun.com/steelsafari/ Colorado Multigun's Steel Safari is designed to test a competitor's skills shooting rifle in practical "hunting-type" challenges in the natural terrain using what gear he can carry. Shooters should expect: * two day-long field stages each involving movement through approximately 3 miles of rugged desert terrain; each field stage will have approximately 10 shooting stations; each shooting station will have 6 target opportunities * to locate, range, and engage targets at each station under a time limit * to carry gear used during the courses of fire * to engage rifle targets from 200 to 700 yards (few engagements outside this range may be required) * Standard targets sizes are 6"x12" or 12"x12", but some vary. * fantastic geographic features for a hike-and-shoot match * an optional long-range side match with an emphasis on KYL ("know your limitations") and speed, for prizes * both an "unlimited" and a "light rifle" division. The Steel Safari has been going on at the Blue Steel Ranch for quite a few years now, but with almost no publicity. This year Colorado Multi-Gun LLC is taking over the match. article | Blue Steel Ranch 2007 Steel Safari Practical Rifle Match  article | Blue Steel Ranch 2006 Steel Safari Practical Rifle Match  PHOTO ALBUMS FROM FACILITY (LINKS):  FULL DETAILS, RULES, AND APPLICATION AT http://www.coloradomultigun.com/steelsafari/Registration will be limited to 30 shooters. Prior-year shooters will get preference in the registration queue until January 15th, after which it will be first-come first-served. I am the match director. If you have questions, please contact me via email or cell phone. While I try to keep up to date on all relevant forum posts, I seem to often miss the notification emails. Thus, email or call my cell if you really need an answer.

Update: Applicants have already or will soon be receiving an email regarding if they made it "in" or if they are on the wait list. With regard to: Registration will be limited to 30 shooters. Prior-year shooters will get preference in the registration queue until January 15th, after which it will be first-come first-served. This actually turned out to be moot. No applicant was "bumped" because of a late-applying alumni. In other words, if we had simply taken the applications in the order received, the result would have been exactly the same. All applicants who are currently on the wait-list are there simply because they waited too long to send in their app. Based on history, we expect a couple people to drop out between now and the match date. People on the wait list will be notified of the opportunity to shoot in the order their applications were received. Thank you.

Zak call me please asap.....i got 3 that want in...all alumni If you are interested in shooting this match, get an application in ASAP!
The way to do this is to have them send in their apps ASAP. Just like before, we confirm spots in the order we receive completed applications with payment. This is the most fair to everyone and gives us the best chance of filling all available competitor slots for the match.

The 2008 Steel Safari is in the books: 27 competitors, three days, 138 scored engagements on steel, 6.5 miles through the desert split by 20 field shooting stations, 95-100 degrees F, winds 10-35 mph.
Some match staff and competitors are still traveling home today. We took 1500+ photos and a bunch of video.
I'll post the results soon, followed by photo, a match report, and some video later on.
Thanks everyone for making this a great match.

Great match! Congrats to Zak and crew, and the Wheelers, for making it fun. Good eats too. Next year I'll stay in a hotel and get some sleep (and air conditioning).

Thank you Zack for a well run match, thanks also to the Dave and Lorraine,,,,and the Ladies that over the years have directed the scoreing and scheduleing of departure and collating of scores...
It was a pleasure to shoot next to a supressed " HIGH .308" shooter like Ray Sanchez...he was on,,,,,,looks like only one snake lost his rattler
