Awesome news. Thanks for all the hard work to get it going again.

So far, conditions are looking good for next weekend. Only a little snow on the ground at both TWC and the target storage site. Based on the response we've received, it looks like we have enough vehicles to haul the targets. We also have about a dozen people for setup on Saturday which should be adequate, but if you are inclined to help, a few more people would be welcome. Check back here before you leave in case a weather issue arises.

Edit: I forgot to mention that setup on Saturday will start at 7:00 AM. Hopefully we will finish in time to open the practice range at 3:00 PM.

Magnum Match Update - (for Magnum Match ONLY)

We have 3 Magnum matches on the calendar for 2019. They are April 6, May 4 and July 6.

As you can see the Magnum Matches will be on the same weekend as the regular SRM. We hope/expect to get bigger turnouts for the Magnum Match this year. Due to the nature of the match we will need to limit the number of shooters to approx 15.

Therefore, shooters for the Magnum Match will need to preregister on Practiscore.

Registration Opens on March 4 and will be limited to 15 spots.

Just got word from the boss that the APRIL 6 MAGNUM Rifle match is a go once again.

BIG thanks to Kevin and gang (sorry don't have all the names of those who helped) who set up targets on their own time to help make this happen.

Signup is open and REQUIRED for the Magnum Match:

Adding to Steve's post above:

Good news. The April 6 Magnum Rifle and April 7 Sporting Rifle Matches are a go assuming we don't get weathered out.

Kevin, Andy and a couple of other guys took advantage of the fact that JJ and Denise were setting up some of our targets at Coal Canyon for their 2-rifle match and got most of the rest of the course set up as well. The Magnum Rifle targets are not yet set up, but we expect to be able to get that done on Friday, April 5.

The Magnum Rifle Match now requires preregistration on Practiscore, so if you are interested, be sure to sign up. The Practiscore Link for any Sporting Rifle Match Events that require registration is https://practiscore.com/clubs/sporting_rifle_match. If you are interested in helping set up the Magnum Rifle targets, we are meeting at Coal Canyon (the SRM site) at noon Friday to pick up the targets and will then proceed to the S. Flats where we will do the setup.

The SRM course is not completely set up, but we expect that we can finish it up after the Magnum Rifle Match on Saturday and hopefully have the practice range open by 3:00 PM per our usual schedule. Setup is planned to start at 12:00 noon on Saturday and we could use a few volunteers to help out.

Please note:

- As of 2018, the match has a 3000 fps maximum muzzle velocity requirement for precision rifles.

- New for 2019, smoking will be prohibited entirely at the Coal Canyon venue for any Sporting Rifle Match events. South Flats (Magnum Rifle) will continue with smoking only allowed in your vehicle.

- The SRM course has been renumbered from 1 on the right through 10 on the left. Otherwise, the course will be the same as it was last year with only a couple of changes. The latest target chart on the SRM website reflects this.

Looking forward to tomorrow. Its been too long.

Good times yesterday.

The new target layouts are hard. Really hard. Lots more small targets and a god portion of targets out past 700 yards now.

Cant wait for sign up and everything to move to practiscore.
