Weld County Practical Shooters will be hosting our monthly Steel Challenge match on Sunday June 13, 2021at the Weld County Fish & Wildlife, High Plains Shooting Range, Eaton, CO. This month’s match was moved to the second weekend of June to accommodate the Rocky Mountain 300 which was held this past weekend. Additionally, it was scheduled on this coming Sunday to afford those participating in Saturday’s Rocky Mountain Revolver Championship the opportunity to participate in our Steel Challenge match as their last day of competition. They will be awarding cash prizes to the top 3 finishers in the ISR and OSR divisions. You do not have to shoot in Saturday’s Revolver Championship match to be eligible for the cash prizes. The current weather forecast for next Sunday is sunny with a high of 90 degrees. We should have a great day for shooting!
The High Plains Shooting Range has an electric front gate which will open by pushing the red button from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM for those participating in Sunday’s scheduled match event. It will be deactivated after 9:30 AM for range security. Please arrive during these times if you wish to shoot in the match.
A maximum of 80 competitors (8 squads of 10 on 8 stages) or 12 guns per squad will be allowed to register through PractiScore. No walk-up registrations or changes at the match. There is a two gun limit (any combination of a Rimfire pistol, Rimfire rifle, Centerfire pistol, or PCC). The match fee is $15 for WCFW members and $20 for non-members and $5 more for a second gun.
