Morgan,
I see you changed up the match a bit.
I attended the first two put on at the ranch and had a great time, family emergencies and such made it impossible to attend others.
Are you still putting these matches on?
I really like the layout you have come up with and would love an opportunity to come out again.
 
We are down for hunting season right now and will most likely start back up around Fed or March, but yes the plan is to run them in 2018 at DEA also

Until then we will be shooting at Rifles Only in Kingsville...we have a match there on Sept 24 starting at 8am
