Post-Match Update – Long Range (2013 Sep)
A special thanks to every one for coming out in the heat and participating in our September 7th Long range event. I appreciate all of your support and hard work with setting up and breaking down the range so quickly today. We couldn’t have a match without all of your help.
We apologize again about having to cancel the match on Sunday the 8th. Some things are just completely out of our control.
The match summary bulletin is available in PDF on the Match Results page.
As always range 117a poses some serious challenges, I am always very humbled when leaving the firing line, all shooters have to be on top of their game for every shot in order to catch every change.
Congratulations to the match winners; Gary Eliseo finished first with a 591-25x for the combined any/any category. Mark LaFevers was 1st F-class with a 578-12x. Well done.
Our next LR match is scheduled for October 5th and 6th. I hope to see all of you then! Please spread the word. I am willing to accommodate almost any type of rifle. This is a great setting for new shooter to experience what we all know and love!

Long Range Director
