MarkCO Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) The Pike's Peak Shotgun Challenge, presented by Shooters Source will be on May 17, 2014 at Pike's Peak Gun Club. 10 stages, one day, approximately 180 rounds (birdshot and slugs), $100. We are currently working on stages and sponsors and greatly thank Shooters Source for stepping up to be the title sponsor. We will have Open, Auto and Pump divisions with a prize table by order of finish. 5 entries per division to be recognized. We are also considering a women's division (Auto rules) and we will be looking for a specific division sponsor for that prize table as well. We have sponsor commitments from Carbon Arms, Eggleston Munitions, Extreme Bullets, Freedom Munitions, Nordic Components, Rocky Mountain Targets and 3Gun Stuff already and we have not even sent out the sponsor letter yet!

co-exprs Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 We're gonna calibrate the steel for harsh language and spit wads. Gradfather law applies to residents and those coming into the state. New laws apply to magazines date stamped after 7/1/13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Nordic came in as a stage sponsor TIMES TWO. Thanks guys! Brownells also came in today as a stage sponsor!

Sarge Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I shot a trap tournament at PPGC back in the early 90's when I was stationed at Carson. Kind of cool to know exactly where you guys will be shooting. Best of luck and have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Is there still snow at the resorts that time of year? Arapahoe Basin is usually open. Depending on snow, some others might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co-exprs Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) I'm hitting A-basin tomorrow. Can't wait to get out on the slopes. Last year was terrible, so I'm jonesin for some turns. This match is shaping up to be pretty terrific! There will be loads of reactive steel as well as static and thrown clays. There will be stars, flippers, windmills, plate racks and slugs on moving paper. I am having an entry door made right now and you might even see Mark doing the funky chicken on his way to funky town.

co-exprs Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 You bet. Sponsorship letter on the way. Registrations are trickling in. Getting one or two each day. The match is 6 months away and I'm confident it will fill up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 Shooters Source will be providing a free Pro clinic on Friday. Two of the top guys in the game, and really good guys to boot, will teach the clinic. At the end, they will walk the stages and help you get your stage plans together. This will be limited! Slots for the clinic will be offered to entrants in the order in which they are received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co-exprs Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 PPSC welcomes Eggleston Munitions as a stage sponsor the match. Check em out here with their polymer cased bullets. I've been running them in my Limited gun and my G17. They shoot great! http://www.egglestonmunitions.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co-exprs Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Things are progressing nicely for the match with a few updates. Pikes Peak Gun Club has a large youth trap league which is partially sponsored by the club. The sponsorship requires the youth league kids to help out at large events. So... looks like I've got a commitment for 25-30 trap shooting kids to work as stage reset help. I have most of the stages sketched out now. We are targeting 180 total targets with about 15 slug targets and 165 bird shot targets. This is a no buckshot match and all of the slug targets will be single shot anywhere neutralization. This is to keep the expensive slug count down and the stage speeds up. Don't be fooled though... many of those slug targets will be activated movers and some will be shot from less than optimum positions. Gonna be a really fun match!

redwoods Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Well now I have a reason to buy a pump shotgun! Or I mean, another pump shotgun, one for this type of shooting. I will plan on being there, and I will bring friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co-exprs Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) We are looking forward to seeing you and your freinds. Pump or auto... It will be a fun match. No gimicks. Just a straight up gun fight. If you've not shot this type of match before, focus on your reloading skilz. They are just as important as your shooting skilz. Also, if you are going to buy a pump gun, i highly recommend a 24" Benelli Super Nova. That's what I run and I love it. I shoot mine all the time for 3gun and clay games. Used it on my first duck hunt a week ago and brought down 3 mallards. Super Nova is the fastest loading and.softest kicking pump on the market.

co-exprs Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I'm getting a couple of entries each day and I just got caught up on confirmations. If you entered and have not received a confirmation email, please fire me a line. I am having fun planning the match and am really looking forward to an exciting event.

lonedrone Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) Trying to see if I can work this match into my schedule this year, just curious where I can find the application. lonedrone Edit - Never mind - my internet was acting up and the link to the app wasn't working, now that I reset my router I was able to get to it Edited January 1, 2014 by lonedrone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullauto_Shooter Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Thinking seriously about making the long drive to shoot this match - a one-day all shotgun match in the Rockies sounds like too much fun!! Ever since I started running the Carbon Arms TWINS reloading system, shotgun has become my favorite gun of the three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

co-exprs Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Just got back from our annual, family ski trip, and got caught up on entries. Everyone who has entered should have a confirmation email. Thus far I've been able to honor nearly all of the squading requests. There is still plenty of room, but I've received nearly 20 entries just in the past two weeks. We're close to half full now.

co-exprs Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Things are coming right along. Stage designs are in final review and I'm gonna be at the range tomorrow testing targets. We are filling up. Get those entries in with your squad requests and I'll see what I can do. The plate rack I ordered is done and Rocky Mountain Targets is making the entry door now. I'm getting excited for the big day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
