Anyone interested in a friendly but competitive "hunting" style match? (100-400yds)
I have never shot a match before and these two guys know what they are doing and decided to setup a match. Entry is $50 and its not a big payout:
1st= $100
2nd= $75
3-5= $Entry Fee refund
Prize table: Game cams, optics, free long range lesson from Jason and free ammo certs from Chad.
They also are going to have some prizes that have been donated by their vendors and others who have contacts. Chad is from DallasReloads.com and Jason was part of Team Tejas so both are pretty handy guys.
Check out the link, match is March 15th in Wolf City and one guy who lives in town has talked about bringing his smoker with him so we might have some BBQ. Also we plan on having some beers afterwards.
I am a socially introvert person so this was a big step for me to go out and be friendly and willing to meet new folks, though this is something I want to do. This will be a small group (35 at most) though we still need a couple of more folks to sign up so that it will be profitable to Chad and Jason for their time, effort and supplies.

Hunting Challenge- Rifle Competition- SIGN UP and Details
Come show off your gear and shooting ability! We plan to gear this match for hunters and first time "match" shooters. We want targets big enough for hits, but small enough to make it challenging. Range Officers will provide plenty of assistance and guidance, if needed.
Date: Saturday, March 15th, 2014
Time: Check-in begins at 8am, Confirm rifle zero at 100 yards (highly encouraged!) from 8-8:30 am. Match starts at 9 am til about 12 or 1 pm, or until complete

1st place- $100 cash
2nd- $75 cash

SIGN UP- Go to www.dallasreloads.com, and on the top right of the home page you will see "Hunting Challenge- Rifle Competition". Click on link, and follow the directions. Payment is due upon sign-up by mailing a check payable to:
Jason Garvey
2560 King Arthur Blvd
Suite 124 PMB 72
Lewisville, TX 75056
Non refundable payment is due immediately upon sign-up. There will be a max of 35 shooters. Once the 35 shooter limit is reached, we will have a waiting list. Entry form is time stamped and money received will be the deciding factors on when the 35th shooter limit is reached.
Competition will be held Saturday, March 15th. The location of the match will be just outside of Wolfe City, TX, between Wolfe City and Bailey, near Highway 11. Cost is $50 per shooter.
Rifle and ammunition information: Max speed limit of 3100 fps! No FMJ bullets. Calibers we could NOT run are 22-250 or 223 Rem running faster than 3000-3100 fps. Anything faster than 3100 fps will dent the steel, or poke through the steel. If you have a question on this, please contact us. Your fast, hot-rod rounds (like a 257 Weatherby) would not be allowed, simply due to the speed of the bullet and damaging the steel targets. Your 308 Win, 270 Win, 7 Mag, 300 Win Mag, should be fine. Round count should be around 40-50 rounds, with each stage having no more than 3 to 5 rounds per stage. The idea of this match is to expose hunters to some challenging and fun courses of fire, while putting you under the time clock for the added stress to make a hit. Scopes that can dial for elevation are welcomed. This match is geared for the basic factory hunting rifles, not the high end competition rifles. Bring any shooting gear you will need to shoot this match- bipods, back packs, ruck sacks, rear sand bags, etc. Each shooter will have a set up time, and then their stage will begin. If you need a loaner rifle, I will offer up my bolt gun 270 Winchester and my suppressed Remington model 7 in 300 Black Out, if you pay for the ammo.
Match details:
We plan to gear this match for the first time "match" shooters. We want targets big enough for hits, but small enough to make it challenging. Stages would consist of steel and reactive targets out to 300 yards. Some shooting positions would be from a bench, prone, standing off-hand, kneeling, off a T-post, off a barricade, and out a deer blind window. Reactive targets would be 2" clay pigeons, steel coyote targets, steel 4" poppers, KYL (know your limits) and any other steel targets or stages we can think of and can come up with. All stages would have a generous time limit to complete the stage. Most targets will be a "HIT" or a "MISS". Whoever has the most points at the end, wins! Here are a few of the ideas we have so far:
KYL (know your limits)- steel
Shooting Off T-post
5 shot- 1" Dot drill at 100 yards
Coyote- steel
Pepper poppers- from the front of a shooting chair mounted on a truck
2” Clay Pigeons, 4” clays between 150 and 200 yards
Deer stand shot- steel plates
Gobbler chair shot- with shooting sticks
Prarie Dog poppers off truck
Plus more!
Maybe a few bonus stages mixed in.
We are thinking about 8-10 stages, maybe 12.
