I am proud to announce a new organization, Colorado Multigun (http://www.coloradomultigun.com/cmg.html), and an exciting match for 2006.

Many details are still fluid at this time, but the major match parameters are set.

Colorado Multigun was formed to promote world-class multigun skills through clinics, training, and competition.

http://www.demigod.org/~zak/cmg/img/prtcheader.jpg

The Practical Rifle Team Challenge (http://www.coloradomultigun.com/prtc/prtc.html) is designed to test a 2-man team's skills shooting rifle, carbine, and pistol to their effective ranges at practical targets in the natural terrain using what gear they can carry.

Shooters should expect:
* 8 field stages shot in the natural terrain over 3 days, including 2 night shoots (night vision gear not required)
* physical challenges, obstacle negotiation, climbing, crawling, water
* movement up to 2 miles
* local altitude of 6700'
* to carry gear used during the courses of fire
* shooting rifles to 1000 yards and carbines to 500 yards
* mixture of "precision" and "speed" shooting with scoring to match
* "Run-n-Gun"

Teams can use any ancillary equipment as long as such equipment is carried during every stage. (See Rules (http://coloradomultigun.com/prtc/prtc.html#rules) for details.)

Cost of entry is $300 per team ($150 per person).

Entry forms will be available on the web-site 17 FEB 2006 (ie, the Friday after the SHOT show).

For general questions, you can reply to this thread or email PRTC@ColoradoMultigun.com

Potential sponsors should contact PRTCsponsors@ColoradoMultigun.com

The rest of the details are available on the match web-site: http://ColoradoMultigun.com/prtc

Subtle? I've always struggled with the concept. :)

Looks like a sweet match.

I have neither the time nor the money to attend this match, but I already know that I'll be going anyway.

I would not discourage any person from shooting this match, provided he can be safe with firearms and walk over uneven ground.

Dammit, that sounds really cool but I'll be at MCRD/camp pendelton :banghead: Not that I don't want to go, they just should push it ahead like a month.

Maybe I'll make 2007.





or maybe not.

On the match web-site, I have a link to a thread on SnipersHide.com (http://www.snipershide.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=6&t=001265) where people can find partners if they can't find one otherwise.

Zak, how many team openings do you have left? I'm checking my calender and that might be possible for Team FBMG. :)

Zak Smith

There are still openings left, but I caution people to get registered ASAP.

"...Cost of entry is $300 per team..." Geezuz! What are the prizes? Do the teams get fed?

This match is about half the cost of comparable matches.

Zak Smith

I have been informed by the match director that we're about 1/2 full already. I suggest sending your apps in ASAP if you want to shoot this match.

Committed match sponsors to date include DPMS, Point Blank, Cavalry Arms, and Sabre Defense Industries.
