Re: Looking for a Rifles Only Match West TX \ East NM

were shooting clays and eggs at 400 yards. The prizes are great.actions and scopes. Look in the Tact. match section under charity shoots
 
Re: Looking for a Rifles Only Match West TX \ East NM

I'd be willing to travel a descent distance, but it would be great to find something that is in the Midland/Odessa area and possibly has matches once a month.
 
Re: Looking for a Rifles Only Match West TX \ East NM

Thank you all for the information. I am going to start at home and try the F Class matches, then work myself out to Raton, NM and meet the infamous Zak Smith.
 
Re: Looking for a Rifles Only Match West TX \ East NM

ponchari and tsprink, the Raton match is a blast, no need to "work up to it", just come out and shoot. You will see your skills improve each time you go. There are a lot of great guys there that are, for the most part, more than willing to help you out.
 
Re: Looking for a Rifles Only Match West TX \ East NM

Not picking on anyone but to call the matches at Midland F-Class is a stretch. They do sound fun though
 
Re: Looking for a Rifles Only Match West TX \ East NM

The F Class in Midland is 530 yards. So yes, not near the usual F Class.

I will for sure be there at some point. Might wait till the Spring though. How many people typically attend?
 
Re: Looking for a Rifles Only Match West TX \ East NM

The smallest turn out last year was the Feb match and was 25 ish IIRC . The rest of the year was over 30 every time and we broke 40 more than once . I suspect will go over 50 this year at some point which will make for a long day .
 
Re: Looking for a Rifles Only Match West TX \ East NM

C Ward, not to hi-jack but werent they going to start a similar match north of Denver to maybe offset the larger turnouts. Not that I mind, It was still fun even with the largest turnouts.

Yeah some of the Wyoming guy's were talking about it but I haven't heard anything more since the end of season last year .

Guess we'll find out in about a month if the come down to shoot .
