Hey everyone!
Here is the official post for the steel shoot I will be holding Dec 7 & 8 in Vantage, Wa. This will be a 2 day shoot and 160 rds at steel and in field conditions. Hopefully we will have good weather! The cost will be confirmed after you get your registration in via email. You will get a shirt, so please include your shirt size on the form. Food will be on you as well as drink. The only major rule is, you can bring whatever you want as long as you pack it. There will be stations that have rules to be followed and limited equip allowed. There will be 32 spots open and I will cut off reg when we hit that #. The ranges will be 1000yds and under with one being 1400yds. JC Steel is helping with targets so we should have plenty of steel to smack. We will fire the same stages both days, Saturday being weak hand and Sun being strong hand.
I would like everyone to be ready to shoot by 0900 on sat and we will adjust the start time on sun to what everyone wants. The Vantage motel is cheap and very close.
Please pass this info on to all who wanna shoot. I will provide directions after everyone registers. Closing is Nov 25.
If there are any questions please call me at Benchmark or on my cell 3609138607, text is fine also. This will be a cash payout just like my last match. 300 win mag and below.
I do need R/O's, so if you can't shoot and want a free slot in the next shoot, just let me know! Below is the reg form. If I missed anything, just let me know and I will clear it up.
Vantage winter shoot
Thanks,

Hey Everyone,
I will send out a confirmation once I close this post, right now there are 22 shooters confirmed!
Chris
 
1 lbs Unique, 5 Lbs Reloader 10x that I can bring to this match. PM me if interested.
 
Vantage has a hotel, so does quincy. I'm getting the announcement out tomorrow. We have a full roster and should have a great time! Quincy is roughly 25 mins away. I'm gonna stay at the site, way too much steel to leave out unattended.
 
Vantage is roughly 4 hrs from Seattle. I will follow with the emailed letter tomorrow, and post the hotel # as well as a discount when booking.
 
Vantage is only 3 hours from Seattle.

Just so you all know, I already reserved the penthouse suite at the vantage motel. So none of you all try to snag that out from under me!
 
Damn, you mean you got the room with heat and running water?

Seattle to Vantage is about 2 hours depending on the passes, look forward to seeing you all there next weekend, might be four hours for you Chris.
 
Ya watching is no problem. 4 hrs home, usually hungover for Stuurmans matches and wondering why I have a pic of a Christmas tree in a toilet!
 
Good Luck this weekend shooters, however I'd like to rename Chris's Winter Steel Shoot to.... a drumroll please,

The FURASS shoot, short for Freeze UR Ass;)

In case you haven't seen the weather forecast...here you go! Get the warm clothes out.

Cold is just a state of mind.....Right????
 
I will be loading my truck up with stuff and heading over to the match in vantage on Friday.

If anyone needs some steel targets I can throw them in my truck and hand deliver them to save you a little shipping. Just send me a PM or a text and let me know what you would like. Thanks guys!!
 
On a similar note, I have several 1 pound bottles of Hodgdon H100V powder I can bring to the match for sale at $20 each. Let me know if you're interested before noon Friday.
 
I'm bringing a few things (including powder). I think those that are interested should have a little side-show style flea market.
 
Did Everybody FRZURASS>OFF @ the Gorge this weekend? I tried calling a coyote and was only out for an hour in single digits, and was glad to get back to the woodstove.
 
My dad and I both had a great time. Thanks to Chris for putting on the match and all the ROs for making it happen!
 
Had a great time. I just want to say thanks to Chris and all the RO's for making this happen.
 
Thanks to Chris and all that help him pull this match off. Tough weather to say the least but a great bunch of people. Good tough shooters in my book. It was good seeing people I hadn't seen in a while and it was good to meet people I haven't met before. Marty's prize table was the best! It was a great match. Thanks. Dan

I had to attend some training on Sat and was unable to shoot, but I was able to make it out there on Sun to help as an RO. Definitely cold, but that just ups the challenge a bit. It was good to meet everyone and see some guys I had met before on the range. This was my first exposure to a PR comp and I am pretty new to the whole PR deal, but am looking forward to shooting with you all in the future.

Congrats to JD, and all of you who braved the elements and competed.
 
Any ideas of when the next match will be? I plan to visit my father up in those parts in Spring and would like to get an idea on the next time frame. Thank you and great job to those who competed!!!
