Here are the practical long-gun events we have scheduled this month at Rio Salado:

3-Gun (Multi-Gun) Match: Saturday December 10th - PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED
Sign-in on Saturday runs 8am-9am, with first shots at 8am. New shooters should come in time to attend the New Shooter Orientation at 8:30am before they shoot. To get a feel for what to expect, check out these videos from our previous matches. Our usual format is 3 short-range rifle, shotgun and/or pistol stages, plus 1 long-range rifle stage. Bring 150 rounds of rifle ammo, 50 shotgun birdshot (#6 or smaller), and 50 rounds of pistol ammo. THIS MONTH YOU WILL ALSO NEED AT LEAST 4 SHOTGUN SLUGS.

To facilitate efficient shooter registration, we want everyone to pre-register for the match. Online registration will open at 3pm on the Tuesday before the match at the Practiscore website. When you arrive on match day, come to the stat shack and pay your match fee as usual, then simply go and shoot - your info will already be in the iPads. Even if you are not 100% sure of making it, it is better to pre-register. Those who do not pre-register can still shoot; they will be assigned a shooter number only, with their name being added later.

We are fortunate to have four very generous sponsors for our monthly match: Carbon Arms provides "loaner" shotshell caddies for competitors to try, and they donate a $100 gift certificate. VLTOR donates two of their excellent AR15 rifle stock kits. LUTH-AR send us one of their fine MBA-series rifle stocks. KE Arms provides a gift certificate each month. All prizes are distributed by random draw from the list of competitor who finish the match. With typical attendance around 75 shooters, your odds of winning something nice are pretty good.

Red Mountain Action Rifle Match: Sunday December 11th
Registration opens at 12:30pm. This is a rifle-only match run over the same course of fire as the morning pistol match; maximum 60 yards, high-speed/low-drag, four run-n-gun stages. To see what a typical match setup looks like, view this YouTube video. The equipment divisions accommodate iron and optical sights, rimfire rifle, centerfire rifle and pistol caliber carbine. Bring 150 rounds of ammo and a quick set of legs.

Tactical .22 Rifle Match: Tuesday December 13th & 27th
Registration opens at 4pm, with first shots shortly thereafter. Location is the Smallbore Range right behind the Activity Center. The rules are simple: it's a straight time match with penalties for misses. Pretty much any .22 rifle is OK - the most popular guns are AR15-clones and Ruger 10/22s. We have two divisions: iron sight and optical sight. Our typical match format is one "long range" stage out to 100yards, and two or three shorter range hoser stages. Check out this trailer and this Dillon Blue Press article for a flavor of what we do. This match is more fun than a barrel of monkeys... bring a bulk pack of cheap ammo (if you can find any) and you will leave with a smile a mile wide.

Tactical Shotgun and Pistol Caliber Carbine Match: Thursday December 15th
Registration starts at 4pm, with a new shooter orientation shortly thereafter. The match format is four practical scenario-based stages similar to what you would encounter at a 3-Gun match, except that you only need to bring one gun - you choose either shotgun or pistol caliber carbine. There will be separate divisions for shotgun (Open, Limited and Pump), centerfire carbine (Optic and Iron) and .22 rimfire carbine (Optic and Iron). Any tactical shotgun suitable for 3-gun competition will work well in this match, or you can shoot a pistol caliber carbine (straight walled pistol calibers only please) or even a .22LR rifle. Check out the match rules for more details.

SPECIAL MATCH: Last Blast Rifle Match: Saturday December 31st
This will be a RIFLE only match. There will be five practical scenario-type stages. Bring 200 rifle rounds. Almost any semi-automatic rifle will work - centerfire rifle, rimfire rifle or pistol caliber carbine. To get a feel for what to expect, check out this video from a previous match.

Sign-in runs 8am-9am, with first shots at 8am. New shooters should come in time to attend the New Shooter Orientation at 8:30am before they shoot.  Pre-registration is NOT required - just turn up and shoot.

We had an awesome turnout for yesterday's 3-Gun match. With 84 shooters and 4 ambitious stages, it was great that we got everyone through efficiently. Our match video is up on YouTube. The results are available on Practiscore.

Our thanks go out again to our generous match sponsors: Carbon Arms, VLTOR, LUTH-AR and KE Arms. This month's lucky prize winners have been notified.

Lastly, we wanted to remind you about the Tactical Shotgun/Pistol Caliber Carbine match on Thursday (12/15) at 4pm.

REMINDER: Last Blast rifle match is on Saturday. First shots at 8am. This is a run-n-gun action format. You can run any semi-auto rifle you want... centerfire rifle, pistol caliber or rimfire. No targets beyond 100 yards. No equipment limitations - just run what ya brung. Likely round count 120 (bring extra to be safe). The stages are designed to run fast as we have a hard stop at 2pm.
