It's the first I've ever heard of it too, is it an open to the public match? I'd be very interested in attending the next one. How often is this match held?

Re: Vern Harrison Long Range Invitational

Thanks Mike. Looks like you guys had fun. You should have talked to Tony at Impact Data Books for sponsorship. Given his long history with Vern I am sure he would have stepped up.

Rob that is a good idea, i may reach out to Tony next year. To be honest I did not source any sponsors for the match. The ones that we got actually heard about the match through some of our shooters and stepped up on their own. An awesome showing of their dedication to supporting these types of events and it was greatly appreciated.

This was setup as an invitational match so that we could better manage the process the first year out. We should have more spots available next year as the event grows.

Thanks,
Mike

I heard some guys at ASC talking about this match, sounded like a lot of fun. It's right in my back door. Wish I could make that list, it would be nice not to travel hours for a match.

Mike and Dave put on a first class show with just the right mix of competition and friendship.

Thanks Jon, it was a great time and I really enjoyed watching Eyan compete with such a great group of shooters! He learns a lot every time he shoots one of the comps!!
