Good day,

The seventh and final HR match of the 2012 series will be held on Saturday, August 18th. New shooters should make plans to attend the practice day on Friday, August 17th. The match is held rain or shine unless the civil authorities close the roads. Safety meeting is at 0800, match will start @ 0830. All times CDT.

Pre-registration is available to those who shot at least three of this years matches for the .308 and ATG classes, and is required if you are shooting in the first .223 class relays. Pre-registration opens with this announcement. Send a PM or email with the class(es) you will shoot, the cartridge for the rifle in each class, if anyone else will be using the same rifle, and if a brake or can is installed on the rifle. While we wish to encourage folks to pre-register, you will be on the Range Masters and my SL if you pre-register, don't attend the match, and fail to cancel your registration with a PX by 1800 on practice day. You don't want to go there. My PX is on the schedule, I don't have net access after 1800 on Thursdays.

The short version of the COF and rules is: 5 rounds at each 600, 800, 900 and 1k target with a 1 MOA 10 point bullseye and a 2 MOA 5 point scoring ring in 20 minutes. No sighters, no wind flags, and you have ring steel with at least one of your first five shots. Three classes, .223, .308, and AnyThing Goes.

For a full copy of the schedule and rules, please send me a PM with your First and Last name along with your email address.

Thanks,
DocB

Re: Seventh and Last HardRock Match of 2012

Man, this year has flown by. I've reget I can't at least shoot the bookends. Moving my son off to college that weekend. Maybe next year I can shoot more than just one.
 
Re: Seventh and Last HardRock Match of 2012

JWP,

Got you down, just remember to call or email if you have to cancel. As far as the trophy goes; well, the certificate will say you cleaned it... Still a lot of folks looking for that one.

RD,

Look at it this way, at least you'll be clear through May next year. If all the spare change isn't spent by March...

See Y'all then,
DocB
 
Re: Seventh and Last HardRock Match of 2012

I didn't realize your season ended so soon. A friend, my son and myself had really wanted to come down this year but had planned to make the trip in September. Our LR matches continue into October but I guess we'll plan to make the trip down next year maybe in May or June.

Was looking forward to meeting Chris Self and the others and spending a fun couple of days shooting and telling lies about the shots we wished we'd made.

Good luck to everyone down there, glad to see you all had a great season. If anyone is ever visiting Ohio and wishes to spend a day just shooting for the joy of it or entering one of the matches put on by the Rayners let us know and we'll do our best to plan to meet you there.

I'm looking forward to shooting the match with my new .308.
 
Re: Seventh and Last HardRock Match of 2012

TopStrap,

Hunting season starts early down here, but we hope you can make it next year. We do have matches in January and February if you can make it then.

Take care,
DocB

Re: Seventh and Last HardRock Match of 2012

Mac,

Well, I was asleep since I had to go to work very early.

TS,

It's February and March. The hunters are still out in January.

Thanks,

can we shoot a second relay for fun? I plan on shooting my 308 with brake in the 308 class and my 6.5 creedmoor in the atg class.

Thanks

Re: Seventh and Last HardRock Match of 2012

Thomas,

If we have space available, it might be possible. Since you are shooting a braked rifle, it's much more difficult.

HTH,

Re: Seventh and Last HardRock Match of 2012

Doc,

Has next years schedule gone out yet? I dont remember getting one if it has.

Jake.
 
Re: Seventh and Last HardRock Match of 2012

Jake,

No. Usually sometime from October through November. I'll post a notice here when it goes out, as well as email it to everyone on the mailing list.

HTH,
DocB

Re: Seventh and Last HardRock Match of 2012

Good day,

Road report says the road is excellent. Weather report is iffy, bring rain gear just in case. Mirage shouldn't be much of a problem.

11 .223 shooters have signed up, anyone who hasn't signed up needs to do so.

Thanks,
DocB
 
Re: Seventh and Last HardRock Match of 2012

Well, the last match of the year is in the books. Can't wait for next season to begin.
Must say thanks to all those who work so hard to make these matches possible. Enjoy the "rest" and see you next year.
 
Re: Seventh and Last HardRock Match of 2012

Good day,

Well, at least the road was good. No rain, but the mirage was a pain.

Congratulations to S. Ward, who set a new course record with a 190 today. Don't tease this guy, he'll hang you out to dry with a .223.

The match results have been sent, please give them 24 hours to arrive. If you don't have them by then, please send me a PM or email.

Thanks,
DocB
 
Re: Seventh and Last HardRock Match of 2012

It was as if a light from heaven was reflecting off Steve's head, oh, wait, that IS what happened!

Seriously good shooting Steve!

See you next year.
 
Re: Seventh and Last HardRock Match of 2012

Great shooting today Mr. Ward! That was impressive to see. Thanks to those who make this match happen. I am already looking forward to next year. Gump where were you today?
 
Re: Seventh and Last HardRock Match of 2012

Ed, Thomas,

Let me know if you guys ever want to get up to GSH and shoot together sometime.

Jake
