Pistol shots to 50 yards. Carbine shots to 250 yards. rifle shots to 950 yards with one target @ 1760 yards.
hmmm might want to re-name this "4 gun"
what's the elevation at this range??
-
I have never done any competitive shooting, but $90 seems kinda steep even with a cash payout (referencing my experience with racing motorcycles...so, it's an Apples to oranges comparison)

found it ~1500' Looks like I need a bigger stick!! I'm done at ~1450 yards
-
That sounds like a whole bunch of fun!
$90 doesn't seem unreasonable to me; bicycle races, marathons, and other similar events also cost quite a bit to stage, and it is only fair to have the user (participant) pay.
Best of luck. I don't own the necessary equipment, otherwise I would seriously consider such a day at the run & gun range.

How is this for spectators?
-
Maybe some of the local guys will come out of the hills to prove their metal, so to speak?
-
Precision rifle with dope to 950 yards and dope for 1760 yards. Rifle may be bolt or semi, but NO magnums and a speed limit of 3150FPS.
so, quick question.
What NON-Magnum Calibre can go a mile and stay inder 3150 at the muzzle???
Would need a pill with a true 0.73 G1 BC...
I would love to own such an animal
-
The magnums are a little hard on the target is all, actually more the fastners and stands. Not many matches allow them anymore.
Not sure what you are shooting, but my 6mm with a 105 Hybrid at 3150 does fine at 1750yds. Still supersonic to a little over 1800yds. Still has just enough elevation in the scope as well.
-
I would be all over this but the "precision rifle" part might be hard to come up with. :dunno:
-
I pull the chute at 1200
if I went, I would be running my 270 winny with the 165 Matrix pills at 2850.
I have only taken it to 1400yards so far...lets just say, I have some practice to do!!
-
Sounds like fun. Hope someone organizes an event like that on the westside.
-
no kidding!!!! My recce/mk12/frankengun is almost done!!

To answer a few of the questions,
1- pistol, 1- carbine and 1-precision rifle = 3, three gun match.
After over head and ~ 18 paying participants, as a few will get comped, the Gun Club will break even. And that's only because I'm providing 95% of the steel.
Spectators are fine, there will be some vantage points for the run & gun. Any spectators must check in with me 3-4 days before the match.
Travis answered the speed limit/ magnum questions.
You don't need to be super sonic to 1760 ( 1mile), you just have to have a bullet that drops back into subsonic with out issues. There are several that will, and some that won't.
There is only the one target @ 1760, and it won't make or break you. You need to have a well rounded precision rifle set up.
Hope to see you all there!
