Fun times. I am dragging ass a little today.
A ton of work and a lot of heavy lifting went into this match. It ran very smooth and the weather was perfect.

Thanks Rich!!! Also thanks to the guys that put in all the hours it takes to put one of these on. I know it's ALOT of work!!
Didn't expect to shoot as well as I did but I guess even a blind hog finds an acorn every once in a while. Couldn't have done it w/out my tack driving orange 6 Dasher that Jon Beanland built!! Thanks Jon and sorry for the tough luck. I should have been third!!

Re: Steel Safari 2010
The match was awesome!! Thanks to all the match staff they ran a great match and thanks to all the sponsors. They really had some great stuff. Barrett and Thunderbeast really stepped up. Barrett gave away one of their new piston AR's and a some other good stuff, and Thunderbeast had several cans up for grabs. The other sponsors had lots of great stuff as well.

No B.J. You should have been right where you were. You did a great job and deserve it as did Steve. You both are great guys (and shot lights out) i really enjoyed spending the weekend shooting with the both of you. I'd just like to say thanks to Zak and the match staff. You all did a great job this year. The course was awesome and very challenging as always. This match is something everyone should try. Trust Me, you will learn so much at this one. It will make you a better shooter. (taught me a lesson this weekend) Had a lot of fun, except for the ride home.

Re: Steel Safari 2010
Forgot a few people on the "thank you" list in my previous post. Wanted to thank the guys and girls @ Vortex for making an outstanding scope in the new Razor. I've had it for about a year and the more I shoot it the more I like it. Definatly used the FFP feature alot. Don't think I can go back to a rear focal scope now. It took a beating this weekend and performed flawlessly!! It's a winner for sure.
Also wanted to thank Zeiss. My friend and I both used the RF 10x45 binos and there is not a better RF available in the civilian market. I'd put the laser up against the Vector PLRFs that I've seen plus it's as fine a bino as you can buy and that is a huge advantage in a match like this.

Re: Steel Safari 2010
I just wanted to say thanks as well. The match staff did a great job once again putting on an incredibly tough competition. I'll be back again next year for sure. Damn it was hot down there.

Re: Steel Safari 2010
This year - for the first time - we had match t-shirts. Each competitor got one free. These were made possible by RayDog of Big American Man: 100% American Made and printed in Fort Collins. The extras we sold at basically our cost $10 and I think they're all gone at this point.
Big American Man has a bunch of other cool shirts and stuff available - take a look!
Thanks Ray!

Just wanted to say thank you to all the match staff. Thanks to all the sponsors who donated for the prize table and to the Wheelers for allowing this match to take place on there land. Very challenging and fun match with the shifting winds and varying terrain. Hope to be back next year.
Thanks again.

Re: Steel Safari 2010
The registration form is usually posted the first Monday of the new year. I put a "warning" message on the Steel Safari web site for about a month prior that explains exactly when registration will open.
No need to make it sound dramatic- everyone who downloaded the form on Monday and sent it first class mail got in. The guy who was #11 on the wait list got to shoot the match.
There is more demand for the match than there are competitor slots, and we are discussing what to do about it.
