The "Cold Bore Steel Challenge" will be integrated with the Monday Night league. Monday night league will begin April 3rd 5:30PM. Same format as last year 5 shots scored at 400 yds. 500yds.

We will alternate formats every other week for that month and then rest at the beginning of each month with the first Monday being paper format and 2nd Monday steel plates.
Purpose of the "Long Range League" is to improve long range shooting and communications skills and track improvements. The league would give a structured format and a level of commitment from the shooter. Expectations will be defined and everyone understanding of the goals and becoming more familiar with our equipment and improve our skill sets like wind dope and one shot sight-ins etc. There won't be any trophies or awards. We are there to better our individual l skill sets and self-confidence. There is no better gratification than to see a measureable improvement towards your individual goals and to "bang steel at will".
