2015 Colorado State HP Match

[Bob Mc Alice]

DATE CORRECTED.

Clear your calendars and make plans now to attend the Colorado State Highpower Rifle Silhouette Championship.

Date: September 5th - 6th 2015
Where: Colorado Rifle Club in Byers, Co.
Format: Saturday 5th 2x40 with standard rifle.
Sunday 6th 2x40 with hunting rifle.

Range will be open at noon Friday 4th for practice 'till the sun sets.

Matches start each day at 9am with a lunch break in between. We can accommodate 32 shooters with four relays. A fifth relay is doable. Target setters driving our range trucks will be on duty. Our range is truly out in the middle of nowhere. The nearest town is Byers, a full 18 miles away. Only one motel in town, a less than Best Western quality affair. Restaurants only one.....a breakfast / burger joint of questionable repute. Better choices of rooms and food on Interstate 70 towards Denver available. Therefore, RV and tent style camping right at the range is strongly encouraged. Naturally you will need to supply your own food and beverage for the weekend. Maybe we can persuade Mr. Bonner to grill us up some grub Saturday afternoon. After match complimentary canned libations provided on Saturday.

This is a no frills shooting event. The reasonable entry fee of $35.00 covers all entrants. No discounts for gender, age, etc. You shoot, you pay $35.00, simple. For those that can only shoot one day the cost is $25.00. No prepay needed, either. One half of the entry fees (cash) will be awarded to class winners. No trophies, plaques or certificates of any kind. Row pins awarded as earned. Then...there are the bonus targets!

Target #8 in each bank will be worth $2.00 for a hit scored an X. Instant payout to shooter at the end of the relay. Last year I gave away $208.00. Winds were calm and my bankroll got wiped out. This will be the sixth year of the "money shot" angle, just a fun way to earn some of your entry fee back. Hopefully, the prairie winds will make the dough last a little longer this year.

Seriously though, we have a lot of fun at our state match. We have fast target resets using club labor. They work their butts off earning their mandatory work bond requirement of membership. No tipping the slaves.

OK, seriously...think about coming to Colorado this fall for a good time slamming steel. Bring your significant other or the whole family. We have mountains, quality casino gaming, Pikes Peak and the Colorado Rockies ball team. Make a shooting vacation out of your visit.

Call me, I will put your name on the list.

Did I forget anything? Just ask.

Pencil me out McAlice. Trying to get 259 to go also, I don't think the wife will let him out of the house, if I was in her shoes he would be out of the house so fast he would probably be in Raton before the smoke cleared. Not going to be able to make it with the new dates. Looks like it will be you, Boner and 259 in that tent.

Needless to say Bob (or at least I hope it is) write me down, and most likely my 2 amigos if one of them is not off gallivanting around Alaska again this year.

Rumor has it the goo roo taped the line commands at the nationals and is planning on using them at CRC.

If they have more than 20 shooters that will make the match last 4 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bigfoot]

This sounds awesome but I'll have to check that it doesn't conflict with the Montana state match.

If they're on subsequent weekends I'm going to be one happy camper. A lousy shooter but a happy camper!

The MT state match is the 5th and 6th. But its not called the state match anymore, now its the montana invitational. Same match, same format, different name due to dumbassery at our state level.

Entry form etc here: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=9804

CRAP !!! I was just reminded it is on the 5th - 6th of September. Sorry all. Original post dates corrected.

[Bob Mc Alice]

Hey Jim, you and 259 are going to need a bigger tent. That pup tent will be a little cozy with you both in it.

I messed up the dates, too. See corrected dates.

[Bigfoot]

Shucks. I was almost beside myself with glee at the concept of shooting high power 2 weekends in a row in such austere locations as MT and CO.

[Bob Mc Alice]

Sorry about the date screw-up Mark. I would have to do Missoula also given a choice. I love that range.
