Details.

The event is February 7, 8 and 9, 2025. If we have enough interest, 20 minimum, we will add a short course on Sunday (3 miles & 5 shooting stations) for an additional $100 including two meals.  We're not taking any money for that now.  You can sign up and pay when you get here for the Sunday course.  It'll include a breakfast and lunch.  For Friday and Saturday the registration is $300.  It includes the Saturday event as well as a two night stay in on-site bunkhouses, T-shirt, Friday night pasta dinner, 6 a.m. breakfast and Saturday night dinner.  There will also be a 6 a.m. cash breakfast Friday morning. Bunkhouses are without linens and towels, so bring your own. You may want to upgrade to a private cabin. A $15 per night bunkhouse credit will be applied to your upgrade. The added cost for upgraded accommodations will be paid when you arrive. Range Officers will pay half price ($150 and a bunkhouse) and will run the course on Friday.  Everyone is invited to come out as early as Thursday to become acclimated to our mile high elevation and to use the on-site range to verify your zero. We will offer a 4-man team award.  Cost per team is $60 ($15 ea) payable on arrival. There are no refunds after 12/31/24.

course.

The course will be approximately 5.5 miles. This distance includes over 300 feet in elevation gain thru steep rocky terrain. There will be 8 stations.

70% of points will be based on your shooting and 30% on how fast you run the course. The shooting score will be determined by the elapsed time to hit all targets. The time limit per station is 3 minutes.

The Range Officer will explain the course of fire at each station and solicit questions. On the command "make ready" you will insert magazine, chamber a round and put the firearm on safety. You should already have your hearing protection on and your gear adjusted when you arrive on station. The clock starts on the command "go". Time waiting to begin a station along with your shoot time will be recorded by one of the Range Officers. You are encouraged to take your own stop watch to compare wait times with Range Officers. While traveling between stations the rifle must have an empty chamber and no magazine inserted. This will be checked on arrival and departure at each station. Participants found carrying a loaded rifle will be disqualified. Pistols may be loaded, but remain holstered.
