Thanks for that report, Pat. You and Elisabeth are great ambassadors for Silhouette.
A few conclusions that can be drawn from your report.
1. Private ownership of ranges by individuals. The land/range owner does not have to ask anybody in a club permission to do anything. He has no scheduling conflicts with other events within a club. If he wants to build or change some structure on the range he just does it. Only a few people in the U.S. seem to understand this concept.
2. If you want to hold a national event at your range, you put a team together, train and win. You get the match at your range the next year. No applying to a sanctioning body. No whining on a forum. No posturing about why a range close to you is better than a range 1200 miles away.
3. I am fairly sure that these ranges in Mexico have no insurance of any kind. Why? Because nobody is going to sue anybody over anything. Everyone at those ranges can be trusted. I would imagine if a person is not a safe shooter they are simply escorted off the premises. This goes back to #1. One person owns the whole facility. There is not a committee to vote to remove the unsafe person from the range.
4. Drinking and smoking on the range during the match. Not a good idea for too many reasons to list here. After the last shot is fired each day, sure, relax and have fun.
5. See 1,2 and 3 above. There seems to be NO bureaucracy at any level in Mexico.

It seems to me they are really good managers, very well thought out. The running deer has got my attention.
Pat, do you have any details about this sport?

There is a committee who decide things. I believe each state has a rep. They meet before on rules and changes.
There is no smoking near the line. No drinking either.
Problem people are dealt with swiftly. There are no problems. Read between the words.
Phones must be on silent mode, no beeping timers, no carts. If you cant carry it, it doesnt go to the line. Shooters and spotters only within 10 feet of the line. No mercy. You violate the rules youre gone. Peroid. We were briefed personally in english to ensure we understood. Same with the shootoff procedure. Something we fail to do with our guests.
The running deer is incorporated into a hipower game. I forgot the exact course of fire. I encourage you to seek out one of the guys at a match and get them to explain all the different courses of fire.

Hi Pat,

It was a pleasure to meet you both,

As far as I know the running deer was replaced by a paper deer sized target at 400 meters, you have 40 seconds for 5 shots

Here´s a video of Juan shooting it,
