A hopeful wish is becoming a reality. We have permission from the rancher and things are coming together. Hope you can come.

Whatever we charge is gonna be used to cover expenses, and the rest will go to the rancher for the use of his "facility". We are gonna get a # of portable steel silhouettes, etc. together which is gonna cost some money. I may be able to gather some rams/pigs/chickens for our use from the local range as well.



The ranch is located as Ernie mentioned about 20 miles SE of Pueblo, and is a beautiful isolated place to shoot. One of my favorite coyote haunts, for sure.



This is not gonna be like the Bower shoot. I would go to his shoot again at the drop of a hat, as i really like and respect Don for all he's done for the sport, etc., and it is excellent for teaching shooting technique, and LR shooting from the bench. This shoot is designed to incorporate all those fundamentals with additional tactical-type techniques to develop a system for maximizing 1st shot connections in the field to the longest of ranges, i.e. tactical reticle/target turret applications with variable as well as fixed power scopes, some anemometer use, ballistic programs, MOA, IPHY, mil-dot, ballistic reticle usage, laser rangefinders, LR scope mounting systems, etc.



The field courses will involve engaging various known size targets (mostly rectangular steel silhouettes) at unknown ranges (to be ranged if needed, either optically with the reticle or via laser), from various positions, and is gonna be FUN, and educational for all of us, for sure. There will also be benches set up for zeroing, etc.
