Here you go Brother: puebloshooter@juno.com

Ask to be put on the email list for the Pueblo West run and gun rifle match on the 4th Sunday of the month.

Tom run’s several matches (both rifle and pistol), so ensure you are specific as to which mailing list you wanted to be added to.

Hope to see you on Sunday

Take care and be safe

Hi, Jeff are you USMC on COar15 too? Can I get put on the list too?

Bill

Bill,

Correct, I use the same screen name on CO-AR15 as well.

I am not affiliated with the match, I’m just a competitor, and post the pics to get other people off the internet and involved in the shooting sports.

If you would like to be put on the mailing list, email Tom (info for the mailing list is in my last post).

We drove down from Denver and arrived at 9:20 and was told by the locals at the club that the match was canceled at 9:05 (for weather):mad:

I didn’t notice any bad weather:confused:

We need to car pool…

I was there at about 9 and they had called it off. There is a post on co-ar15.com that it was called off at 7:50. I think I talked to Jeff(non-usmc03)/Hoser(?) - he had a Larue hat on- and he said that PWSA would not let them shoot to do fears of damaging the berms. He also said the base told him that it would continue to rain all day.

I guess when you only get about 10-14 inches of rain a year, you would call that rain. In Ohio, we would call that misting. I guess we could have shot all steel and promised not to miss :wink:

Oh well, not my sandbox. I’m going to be a lot more discriminating on weather next year. Four hours of driving and a lot of grief from my wife with no powder burned. That was pretty wicked sleet on Monument Hill.

The dinner at Exit 110 had a nice special on a omlette.

It usually takes me about 2:20 to get from Fort Collins to the Pueblo West range. Once it took me five hours to get home after a match due to weather and traffic. :eek:

Email notification that the match was canceled went out at 7:38am this morning.

If a match is going to be canceled due to weather, they usually have an email out between 6:30am - 7:45am

“Hoser” is Tom … he is one of the match directors for the match. His email is at the top of this page.

Due to Tom travelling, we new guys who signed up this week weren’t added to the email list yet. I am now fully informed on the US Top 40 songs as presented by Ryan Seacrest.

Sorry guys. Totally my fault. Uncle Sam had me out of town until late Saturday night.

I got to the range around 6:30. When the rest of my match staff showed up we all walked the berms and tried to figure out how to put on a decent match.

The reason for the weather cancel was not the light mist we had Sunday morning, it was the rain the range got Saturday and early Sunday morning. The berms were pretty muddy and soaked and driving around them would only have torn them up and made a bunch of ruts. Tearing up the place does not sit well with the range management. In fact when I told the range maint guy Sunday morning that we were a cancel he said he appreciated that. Also running around on slippery berms isnt the smartest thing. I have already replaced one ACL due to match stupidity.

I waited at the gate to inform everyone in person about the bad news. We finally left around 9:15 and headed home.

The rifle matches will resume in March but the sniper matches are run year round. Bring out your DMR or bolt gun and have some fun.

To get on the email list, please send me an email to pueblorifle at juno dot com Please include your real name.

Dont forget that this Saturday the 21st is our monthly Sniper Match.

I am also planning on setting up a 22 side match as long as the weather is nice.

Maybe see some of you there.

Thanks for all the work Hozer!

… my “sniper rifle:rolleyes:” is down right now, but will probably come out and watch y’all and drool over all your glass:p

I have a new piece of glass coming this week, but I don’t think the T1:eek: will make me competitive;)

20 People yesterday and several new faces.

Kolar continues his winning streak shooting 35 out of 40 and Aos maintains a firm hold on 2nd place. I shot like a girl for the first 10 shots but still squeaked out a 30/40.

6 people stayed after to shoot 22s. The wind was rough on those little slow bullets. 4-10 inches of wind at 120 yards.

The Yetti and Mr Butterpants are still MIA. Rumor has it that Mrs Butterpants made Mr sell all his guns to pay for diapers.

We missed you.

There was a couple S&B 5-25s there, several Nightforce scopes but mostly Leupold.

Using a T1 would not be fun. The closest target would just about be covered by the dot.

When we finished up we shot my 338 Lapua for a bit. It is nice to be able to shoot a 338 and not have to wear earplugs…

Sorry I missed it.

FOOD POISONING:eek: Its not nice.

The glass on my bolt gun has given up the ghost and until I can get some new long glass, I’m just a 3Gun guy;)

Just over a month to get your stuff together…

And also time to come up with reasons why you cant make it out.

Is March 28th the first match of the year?

Yup.

Fourth Sundays March thru Oct.

NO MATCH on Sunday March 28th … Match Directors will be out of state … See you guys on the 4th Sunday in April

RIP Eddie:(

Hopefully the berms will be dry for Sunday.
