Damn that looks like fun, but I am going to miss due to prior commitment. I like the idea of sling and standing stages mixed in with bipods/tripods/prone, that shows who has multiple skill sets real quick.

Are you going to run another match(es) this year? I need another monthly 22 game since CRC's "Steel Dogs Challenge" is no longer held.

 

[Starbuck]

I'm in. I assume somebody at the match will have the stage rules written down, or can 'splain them to me tomorrow, because as I read through them now my eyes glaze over. (No, I have not been smoking weed).

We will host the GreenMill Long-range tactical 22 match every 3rd Saturday for the rest of the year.

The nice thing about 22 matches is that the logistics are such that we can "splain" the match as part of the safety briefing. Eight stages, about 10 yards between stages.

We have 1/4 scale targets to simulate shooting a .308 at 4x the distance, the drops and the drift is surprisingly close.

Tho it is legal to smoke weed in CO AND 4/20 is THE day to celebrate weed ... this practice is can have unintended consequences when mixed with firearms and live fire so smoking weed is not allowed on the firing-line or amoung match participants ... just though ti would make that clear.

Look forward to seeing all tomorrow between 8 and 8:30am.
