I'll take the wind, nobody would believe me if I said the mud made me miss.So, do you choose 20 mph wind or 8" of fresh snow for your match? Snow turns to mud immediately in 40 degree temps and 100 shooters going through a stage.
Hunter match in Florence, CO, this weekend.

They are going to have other problems….like raising the targets another 2’ up.So, do you choose 20 mph wind or 8" of fresh snow for your match? Snow turns to mud immediately in 40 degree temps and 100 shooters going through a stage.

Dude I am standing by now is shooting skills and he said no. One data point maybe get in the FB group and ask. But again he said no and is here shooting in CO.Do you have to have a NRL membership to shoot skills?
I signed up for the Texas shoot but the box for member number I just left blank. Will I get kicked out?
Agreed. Ton of fun, learned a bunch as newbie shooting a NRL game for the first time, and was nice to meet some other Roksliders.Had fun at the IA one day yesterday shooting with @Jimbee and @rharbaugh. Funny how even a laid back match where a guy isn’t shooting for anything exposes weaknesses. The format was the squad finds (but doesnt range) targets before the stage and everyone got to watch everyone else shoot. I thought that format was great for newbies like me focusing on the range, build position, shoot aspect. I’m less interested in getting better at finding steel in the nockers.

Would you do another one in IA? Average target range? Longest? Definitely going to be in Decorah the next time one of these rolls around again
"9 stages, no zero board, come ready for targets from 180-700 yards. majority under 480 yards. 4-8 rounds per stage depending on your ability."

Yes. Will allow for that. Also they will give you more time if you ask. Intent isn’t for you to not shoot. They will also point the targets out. Typically they will ask you what help you want before the stage.Never been at one of these before. A buddy and I signed up for Skills at the Arbuckle CA one. Hoping we can get on the same group of folks. I have a new 7PRC gonna see how it performs. Then I’ll likely drop to my 6.5 as I think shooting the whole thing with the 7 will wear me out.
Goals are to
1. Get experience shooting
2. Verify what I can do with the setup and load
I am also realistically expecting to get only 1-2 shots (maybe 0) on some stages because I can’t find/range/setup in the max time
From what I understand, the Skills division should allow that?
