Benelli Chick Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) JJ thinks it's kind of like "Where's Waldo"? Truth is, we've weed whacked and driven over and broken stalks and painted legs and all we can do to help Waldo(the targets) be visible! It's just a wee bit crazy! It's, literally, a jungle out there!! I drive down a road, and it feels like I'm in a big black-eyed susan maze!

MarkCO Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Sunflowers. Especially when someone decides to paint the target yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benelli Chick Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Sunflowers. Especially when someone decides to paint the target yellow. That's why JJ said if you find something black with a yellow backer...it may or may not be a target...it may be a Black-Eyed Susan! They're pretty visible as of this weekend, and we have a few more days to work on them, so don't worry too much! We're kind of yanking your chains...a little...maybe...

Benelli Chick Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Um, that is why I had to toss a stage at the CRC match this past weekend... Yowzers!!! Well, we've asked all the staff that are driving out to bring their weed-whackers. You've heard of whack-a-mole...we will be playing whack-a-flower!

JPeel Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I'd rather have unintentionally camouflaged targets than black targets hidden in shadows. But that's just me sayin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benelli Chick Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Heading out soon...so I will get back to you, but turn around may be a little longer than usual. Will be checking a couple times a day! See you all soon! Would be happy to get some more waivers! Check out the sponsors at http://rm3g.com/2015vendorsSwap.html and be sure to spend your dollars with the sponsors who support us! We are over $200,000 on the table and such amazing stuff! They are soooo generous!!! Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyinBlue Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Prepare for the attack of the dasies! Because of All rain, the dasies, or whatever they are, are everywhere. I mean 8 foot tall stalks of 4-6 inch in diameter yellow flowers with black centers. They have taken over the range! And they conviently kinda look like our rifle targets... So when shooting rifle and you center in your scope what looks like a rifle target with a yellow backer, you may want to double check... jj Those would be Sunflowers....

Benelli Chick Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Well, we spent about 6 hours today with machete, weed whacker, truck trying to tame the jungle!!! It's taking forever, but the targets are visible!!! Good grief!! It's just crazy out here! The flowers are over 10 ft tall in places... We're looking forward to seeing everyone...if we can find you in the flowers and weeds. JJ knocked off a rattler today! He was walking up to see if the targets were now visible...and...I'll tell you the truth. He bellowed...he DID NOT scream like a girl!!! See you all soon! Think it will be fun, weeds and bugs and all! Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toothandnail Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) SO are we going to see a name change of the match ? Rocky Mtn Flower Power match, Rocky Mtn Peace and Love 3Gun As you can tell I'm terrible at naming Renaming stuff Can't wait Edited August 7, 2015 by toothandnail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoganbillJ Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Max rifle distance still sitting at 550 or did you all bump it out a bit further? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocMedic Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 So I put a basic count of targets together from the previous page. Rifle: 102 (paper and/or steel) Pistol: 104 (paper and/or steel) Birdshot: 97 (birds / steel etc) Slugs: 14 (steel, paper?) So as long as you bring 300+ of everything (100 slugs?) we should be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benelli Chick Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 All valid points! Max distance is still right around 550. We've done a little tweaking here and there. Pistol only stage has 20 steel and 17 paper...for 54 rounds if you shoot 2 at each paper. Might want to be sure you've got enough mags! Other than that, stage descriptions pretty close. We've had to adjust some stuff to get around the Flower Power aspect of things...BUT, when we showed up on stage 9 this morning, 5 bucks (mule deer) just hanging around! Big racks, still in velvet...might grow bigger! So amazing! Also, the place abounds with more bunnies than I have ever seen. Jack rabbits, hares and cute little cottontails everywhere. I guess there aren't THAT many snakes! See you all soon! Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toothandnail Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Anybody shooting an MKA1919 and have a request for something , I'll be happy to bring it along. Probably throw in a few extra mags, 10's and 24's anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toothandnail Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 If you carry the indented gas seal sleeve I'll take 2 just to be sure, yours has the little ridge that slips inside the barrel lug correct ? I'll probably just bring both anyway, but just to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Doc Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Yes the one with the ridge, Thanks!! Arturo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toothandnail Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Also, I've had several ask if they could try our shotguns at the match, the answer. Of course ! That goes for anybody, Open shooter or not. We will also have a couple of 2011's to fondle, the best you'll find. Warning it may be hard on your wallet. Look us up and ask, we are camping at the Coors campground, and will have a flag there as well as on our truck we'll be driving to the stages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
