New Years Day Rifle Match, South Idaho
This is my first day posting here. Thought I would invite people to come watch or shoot the match.

It is a fun match and a good way to test your gear and skill.

We always help new shooters and provide a free lunch.

We have a fun bunch of guys who enjoy friendly compation.

The 4th New Years Day Chosen Frozen Long Range Rifle Match.

This year’s match will have target ranges from 30 yards to 1400 yards.



Shooters will be divided into 2 man teams with each team member taking equal turns as shooter & spotter. Each team will shoot the 4 courses of fire twice. Each team will need safety glasses, hearing protection, a spotting scope, range finder, 90 rounds ammo and 1 rifle for each shooter. Bring a partner or come alone and we will match you up with some one.

During the match the long range targets (600-1400 yards) will be engaged first with a generous time limit for the long distance shots. After the long range targets multiple targets from 30-500 yards must be engaged with the fastest time to hit all ten targets getting the best score. For the timed portion the spotter may also shoot along with the long range shooter. All targets must be hit before the clock stops.

Limited walking and no running is required to shoot this match. I set it up so old slow guys like me can still be completive with out risk of a heart attack. Teams must pack everything that they need to shoot the match with them during the match. No returning to your car or truck after the match starts. If you forget something you will have to do without or borrow it from your partner.

Scoring for long range targets (500-1400) First round hit = 10 points.

Second round hit = 5 points. Third round hit = 2 points.

The speed portion of the match will count for 25% of the total match score.

Entry fee 25.00 Active military or students $10.00

Limited to 24 shooters. 2 spots left.

Safety meeting is at 7:30 AM @ the Garden of Eden Cafe, Hwy 84 & Hwy 30 & Hwy 25 junctions. After the safety meeting we will drive to the match sight. If you do not have a 4x4 have your gear ready and carpool with one of the match directors.

I do not miss those temps. Sounds like fun though.


A bad day at the range is better than a good day at work.
