Sorry I missed the May match. This looks like a lot of fun. I was "ready" (as I'll ever be) to go, but I let the weather talk me out of it.

Didn't I just miss it on 7/3?

As of right now, 8/7 doesn't work for me.

PURPOSE
The "Sporting Rifle Match" at the NRA Whittington Center in Raton NM is designed to test a rifleman's skills shooting small targets from approximately 175 to 700 yards in the natural terrain, with what he can carry throughout the course.

The match format is 10 stages spread over a 2 mile distance. Each stage has 6 targets at varying distances to be engaged with only one shot each. Target distances are known to the shooter. Shooters must complete each stage's target engagements within 3 minutes. No "sighter shots" allowed. Score is total number of hits out of 60 possible. No one has shot a perfect score, yet.

This match has been held monthly since mid-2004 (except Oct-Dec/Jan which is hunting season at the NRAWC).
