For me (and maybe others) it would be good to know if another football field standards is planned for the match. That may well be the determining factor in attendance. Just my 2cents.

News wire -- The Breckenridge American -- Breckenridge, Texas.

"Bulldozers were spotted leaving the range at the Breckenridge Gun Club today. In response to the overwhelming excitement of targets at 85 yards from last year's match participants, the shooting berms on bay 12 appear to have been moved BACK to at least 150 yards away from the shooting line. Steel fabricators are rumored to be crafting IPSC Metric steel targets with a small cutout in the Upper A-zone. Officials say that these steel targets are to be used as 'hardcover' on the 'standards' stage. In addition to the large contingency of match sponsors being solicited by match officials, priests across a variety faiths are being contacted and urged to attend this year's match to assist/guide competitors as they launch prayers downrange at these 'standards' targets."

Hoping that saner heads prevail this year.

This year I'm painting mil-dots on my front sight, and will bring a calculator and range chart, for proper hold over. :surprise:

Yeah, lets keep it to under 50 this year, please. Looking at the Limited scores from the Area 4 standards, that seems challenging enough. :blush:

Our group will be there. Although I didn't mind the 85yrds, it wasn't really a test of anything, in my mind. I would much rather shoot no more than 50. Either way, we'll be there. It has been a fun match every year I've shot it & I don't see any reason this year would be different. Come on guys, get signed up!

Steve, Your post was pretty funny!hahaha.

I had the fun last year of walking the 85 yards up and down for the 137 competitors. :mellow: My parting words to Jimmy were that I had access to a "Big Cat" and if necessary that range could disappear under the cover of darkness. :rolleyes:

Kenny

Maybe since Alex will be back, he can reclaim his claim as ruler of the standards. :)

Good match, all the people that run the match are awesome. It'll be a good match, the only thing about it you can wish for is nice weather. They usually have someone on site cooking up some good grub. Prize table is pretty good and if you win your class, historically winners receive a nice belt buckle and a factory fitted STI slide/frame kit. I'll be there.
