No issue at all. Just be sure the ammo isnt steel core or anything like it.

Fun match with some new challenges: the VTAC wall and a stage on the natural terrain of the shotgun ranges (see pics). Good turnout, looking forward to the rest of these matches this year.

thanks hoser and justin for putting on a great match.

had a ton of fun, hope everyone else did too. [AR15]

learned a lot, and met some great guys.

I'll be back next month if i can.

thanks guys,

Kenny

Targets the last few matches have been out to 325+

I use 55's and do fine for the most part, but as we all found out last match, some targets wont go down with that light of a bullet if you hit 'em low. (yes, I am talking to you LaRue's.....[Tooth])

I bring 200 per match, and that cuts it really close, (mainly because I suck and waste a lot of ammo) but if you have any sort of shot discipline you should be totally fine.

Dunno if I'll make this one, but I will try. We'll see if I can swing the 4hr. drive from Taos, NM to Pueblo West by 9am.

hope this helps,
Kenny

I had a great time today!

I have sooo many learning points form today, I can't wait to get my butt to the range and get it all learned for good.

Well done on this match, Hoser!

agreed. I was glad to see a guy running an AK out there among the masses of AR's. Although he didnt do very well, he did a damn good job considering he was running true open sights, at those distances and those situations. kudos to hoser and justin as well for running another great match. I had a lot of fun

Here are a few pics from this month's match.

Thanks to Chris Marsh for taking the photos while I was running the timer.

Days like today remind me why I do this.

Shot some guns and hung out with friends.

I shot like crap, but it was still fun to run around and get dirty.

One of these days I'll get the whole rifle/optic combo dialed in and see if I can't make something happen.

I used some steel cased crap ammo that I had laying around, and I'm sure that wasn't really helping anything. I tried learning how my ammo works at different ranges, but I can only get out to 200 yds. Even then, I'm not getting really spectacular accuracy.

Surprisingly, I had no problems hitting the 385 yd IPSC steel (with the strobe light attached). The other targets that were 9" across were a tad difficult for my ammo/rifle/optic/end-user combo.

I'll get it one of these days, though.

I had a great time out there this month. This was the first match I have attended with the scope on the gun, and I can now say it makes a helluva difference (thanks again chris). The natural terrain stage was one of the better ones I have seen created, IMO, and standards were fun. I blew the last stage, but there was still a good time had by all.
