Brian and I had an awesome time at the Rocky Mountain 300 this weekend.

The match was very well run, by super friendly and helpful match staff. The other shooters, largely from Colorado and the mid-west, were terrific.  We did run into some northern Utah shooters, including Farley and Inez Collins (who BOTH won guns at the price table!).

The stages were much more than just “hose-fest” 60+ shot stages. They were devious, fiendish things that had you forgetting which way was up by the end.  In the end each was 3 top notch stages with more than 3 times the devilishness.

Just looking at them on paper didn’t do them justice. Once you got on the ground and tried to figure out reload points, or positions where you could see this or that target, the complexity quickly added up until your brow furrowed and then pre-stage thinking time was up and you had to shoot it.   And unlike most stages, fatigue played a role.  You were breathing hard and your arms were like lead at the end of most stages.   And heaven forbid if you had any makeup shots and had to re-think reloads and positions on the fly.  Tough, but very fun.

It turned out that my Glock, with a lightened striker spring, really didn’t like the magnum pistol primers Brian used for this batch of match ammo.  So I had about 40 duds (and lots of comments about my new “5th” generation bolt action Glock) – lesson learned.

I also learned to bring extra mag pouches. One of mine ripped of my belt after getting caught in the start chair. It was ruined, and I had to haul mags around in my pocket, or tucked in my belt.

Brian did well, finishing in the top half of shooters. He missed top Junior shooter by screwing up the last 2 seconds of the last stage (50 penalty points in 2 seconds!). Lesson learned, as well…

This is a match we are putting on our “do again” list.  It was fun. The people were cool, and the prize table quite impressive (as well as cash payback for division placers). 

I will post video of Brian shooting the stages tonight or tomorrow.

 

It was a tight match – Jeff Bailey got Jim Meade by less than 1%.
Congratulations to Chip Hartman – only his 3rd match and he finishes
third at 75%. Well done!

I’m not able to format e-mailed results correctly in this blog posting, so I’ve just attached the scores below. Click to see.

Here are the results for the Iron County Action Shooters .22 steel match last Saturday.  They should have their own site up at ironcountyactionshooters.com by end of week, and I’ll post it there as well.

It was pretty fun. They combined some Steel Challenge stages (Smoke & Hope and Double Tap) with home grown ones to good effect.  The quality of the targets they’ve built is terrific – well done Chuck and Jim.

We had a total of 20 people show up to shoot, 2 had to leave before they shot (work obligations) and 3 had to leave before they completed their course of fire because of family commitments. Our apologies to those that did not shoot and those who had to leave early, hopefully by shooting in squads we will get more shooters through faster.

16 shooters turned out in great weather with 6 challenging classifier stages.   It seemed to be Brian Nelson’s first chance for an overall win. And he didn’t lose it by shooting bad, instead Bryan Mortensen took it with blistering run on the last stage we shot (# 1).

Thanks to all who attended. And a special thanks to those who kicked in a little extra at registration for fuel money to rebuild the range!
