I had a great time!
Mind you, we did NOT even finish the first day, planned poorly and shortly after the start, I dropped my gun landing on the very edge of the bell (onto a stump of all things) bending my scope tube-
I tried to figure out where my new offset was, but with the lush vegetation and low brain power I could not see the misses and figure it out, or at least more than its a bunch high and right.
Anyway, how does that sound like a great time??
Well, the ROs were insanely nice (more friendly than any match I’ve shot), match participants amazingly friendly, course tough, but fair (unless you’re short- just like life) and the best of all, people in Washington were assume and the country breathtaking.
My son and I drove about 1,000 in one day to the match.
Here are just a couple of images from my phone.

Sorry for the non-match images- but the road to the match, the area the match is in, is spectacular.
I’ve shoot a lot of matches, but never enjoyed the people and area as much as I did in Colville.
