Going to depend on a number of things, but have talked about going down the last of October, taking in the West of the Pecos match at Pecos tx, then trotting on across tx and down to the gulf and on over to MS.

I am planning to be there come hell or highwater.
He$$ yes were shooting across that north canyon
Well, we'll shoot at them
That 900 yrd octagon plays hell with everybody, especially if theres a 10-15 mph wind blowing.
15 of us shot at that damn thing one afternoon, & you couldn't get two bullets to land in the same place from a string of ten
Oh that side hill slope raises cain
lots of grumbling going on, even ol' hipshot was seen mutterin to himselfRE: Question for match directors and NRA rule wonks - Rick Mulhern - 05-03-2013

Thats why at Forsyth we only have two rules (Have fun, Be safe)

Good lordy, I don't even want to stuff that much powder in the case for that, but geez It'd sure test that sniping rig I built for tracking down antelope at long range

Rick with the contour of that canyon, and the wind currents thru there, that makes your 1600 about as simple as 200 yd bench rest

Rick,
Got a 4' square at 1023 yrds, thats all we can get. I'll take some pics & see if I can post them. The 4' octagon at 900 seems to be the real challenge! It sits on a nasty slope
