Hoping for the weather to hold off - keep you eyes out for email notifications on Friday and Saturday on how things are looking. As long as it is not terrible we can shoot the match; too much rain makes range access an issue. We want to avoid falling back on our rain date if at all possible.
Thanks to Josh at Copper Creek Cartridge Co for adding a certificate for ammo to the prize table today as well.

Short of lightning, lets run it! A skid loader will fix the ground after it gets tracked up. I happen to have access to one.
this isn't looking good - they are predicting some major storms for Sunday. In fairness to everyone I think we will need to make a go/no-go decision by Friday evening. The scheduled rain date of the 22nd looks good on the extended forecast.
We avoided most of the severe weather - we will get rained on a bit this morning so bring your gear. I'm heading out there now so see you guys in a few hours.
That was a very fun match David, really appreciate all of the hard work that went into making it all go down smoothly. The prize table was great much more than expected and was a welcome sight. Met some really great folks and saw some great shooting.
Thanks to everyone who came out today; without the help of Bach Melick, Bill Hill, Jordan McCoy, Lloyd Hill, Terry Ukrainetz, Mark Torres, Andrew Brady and Wesley Bailey this could not have happened. They can't be thanked enough for their support.
Our top 3 finishers were Lonnie Devine, Wes McBride and Carlton Chapman.
The weather was not bad today; we got a little rain in the morning but for the most part it was a manageable day and we shot under cover for most of it. The match itself got off to a rocky start trying to get all 40 guys shooting their cold-bore and dot-drills together before the first band of rain came in but we quickly got back on track and split up into two squads

I’m uploading a bunch of pictures, will share them soon.
This match was an absolute blast! Thanks to all of those who helped put this on. I was very impressed with the quantity and quality of items on the prize table, as always a big thanks to the sponsors!
Awesome match , you guys ran a very smooth and fun match and hope you put on many more. Great ros and shooters and the weathrr turned out better than I expected. Thanks David.
Thanks to all those that made this a good match. Had alot of fun. Short drive for me. Saw some sick rifles. Hope you guys do this at least once a year.
Thanks to you and all who had a part in making this match successful. This was my first "rifle" match and your crew made it fun and enjoyable.
A lot of help from the more experienced shooters and a great learning experience.
1 for 8 with a borrowed sling, I really learned something on that stage - I SUCKED LOL Will be getting a good positional sling and learn how to use it!!!
thanks for the feedback. Without Bach and the rest of the crew it would never have happened. We will definitely do it again and make it even better with all that we learned this time around.
