Good day,

The first HR match of the 2011 series will be held on Saturday, February 5th. New shooters should make plans to attend the practice day on Friday, February 4th. The match is held rain or shine unless the civil authorities close the roads.

Pre-registration is available to those who shot at least three of the six matches last year 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 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 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.

Looking forwards to seeing everyone at the match,
DocB

Re: First HardRock Match of 2011

Good day,

I've printed out the sign up sheet, we've got 15 shooters signed up so far. Don't wait until Thursday to pre-register, I don't have internet access after 1800 EDT.

Gump, I even have you down. I won't be taking any pre-registrations for future matches until the match announcement is posted.

Thanks,
DocB

remau308,

Practice day or at the match; unless shooting .223, which is not recommended unless you have previous experience.

HTH,

Re: First HardRock Match of 2011

Ah, rain in the forcast this week. Wouldn't be the same w/o an eventful trip out to the range for the first match of the year.

What's the current condition of the road?

I'm not scared as long as the blue 4WD Suburban is in working order

See you this weekend Bill.
 
Re: First HardRock Match of 2011

Road conditions vary considerably with weather. I've seen a Corvette make it on a good day, I've seen two trucks suck water into the engine and lock on a bad day. I expect this weekend will be somewhere between the two. On the other hand, DocB's all-terrain-BMW (318, I think)ALWAYS makes it.

Gulley,

It's a 528e with a stick and limited slip rear end. It has always made it in, but I've had to ride out with someone else once.

Beep Beep!

Light intermittent rain, feels colder than it really is.
 
Re: First HardRock Match of 2011

Good day,

OSOK says the road is O.K, watch for potholes with water. I'll check the weather in the morning before heading over to the range.
It's supposed to be windy, so be prepared.

Thanks,
DocB

Re: First HardRock Match of 2011

The road is NOW soaked. If you are not sure of you or your truck's aility on a really wet and bad road, STAY HOME. Best advice I can give you.

I will not be back on the computer until after the match.
 
Re: First HardRock Match of 2011

Made a brief vist to the range and yes it is soaked. Not yet as bad as last year but .... KNOW Your Limitations !!! I'll not be at the match. Saw my EN&T MD and he gave me something that helped my neck & Shoulder to relax enough that I got over 8 hours of sleep this afternoon. Gotta work tonight, a real job (for the last 2 weeks) 3rd shift and I'm having a time getting use to this compared to what I had been doing. All is good and all goes well I'll make next match.

Adam, trust the data !!
 
Re: First HardRock Match of 2011

Big Thanks to Capt. Huskey and his range crew for running a great match today. The wind, was as always, a humbling teacher. See you at the next match.

Re: First HardRock Match of 2011

Great match, thanks huskey for letting us shoot on your perfect piece of land. I'm glad to say that was my first time shooting out to one thousand yards. Plan on coming out next month.

Re: First HardRock Match of 2011

Good to see all you hardheads today! Looking forward to better, less windy, conditions next time......yeah right.

Thanks to Cptn. Huskey, Alan & Steve for their work at the match today and the soaker practice day yesterday. Always good times with great people regardless of the conditions!

Will, Gene and Kenneth, best wishes for continued recoveries, hope to see you out there soon!

Re: First HardRock Match of 2011

Good day,

Match results were emailed at 2001 EDT this evening. Thanks to everyone who showed up for the practice, the match and congratulations to the winners. Anyone who didn't get the match results should wait 24 hours for their mail server to deliver it. If you didn't get the match results, please send me a PM with your First/Last name with your email address.

Ed, you're better off framing the dollar. You've won fewer of those than matches.

Thanks,
DocB
