Rocky Shoot Today May 18
Good Luck to all today in the Rocky BR shoot. Was loaded for light and heavy gun then tore up ligaments in arm. Pizz me off.
They have 3 BR shoots a year, real good people, nice range and well organized.

That sucks for you, sorry for your ligament issue!
We had to cancel our 300 and 500 meter Fclass match this weekend because of the fires, but we're able to reschedule for June1st

What an awesome shoot, the organizers deserve a big thank you.
It was great to see old friends, and meet some new acquaintances.
Well done BWR and Hot Paws.

I have to agree, it was a great event. A few hiccups, but that’s to be expected at any event. The funniest thing was having the wrong targets at some distances that needed to be corrected. But just short delays.
The weather gods didn’t cooperate. The winds were really bad on Friday, but a bit better for the shoot.
Great people! Wonderful range. It was my first visit to Rocky, and I must say it’s the cleanest range I’ve ever been to. A wonderful facility with some great expansion plans/ideas. I hope they are successful.
I plan to try another event and the range again sometime. But I am more than a couple of hour’s drive away.

Ran 28 shooters through 5 distances ranging from 100m to 600m. Paper Benchrest targets at 100&300m. Steel gopher silhouette at 400m. Groundhog silhouettes at 500&600m. Wind from every direction imaginable including rain downpour and bright sun creating some very diverse situations.
Great time.
