I think Sue Miller said it was 6 degrees elevation to 200 Yds and to bring some extra support fro 200 yds.  I had no issues.  


Anyone with a Stevens buttplate on an original style schuetzen rifle might want to bring a hacksaw to cut the top prong off  Grin  Tacoma is a bit up hill and I have no problems there.  I think it is only about 2 or 3 degrees up hill.  This is definitely a range where a modern bench rest stock with everything flat, parallel, and nice and wide will be a great advantage,

If you are a little bit crazy you might want to build your own rest.
But if your crazy enough to shoot rebar, I guess the rest idea isn't so bad.

Tom you bringing your rest to the next shoot on December 14? 

Are you back in Alberta and have you retired for the fourth time? 
Or are you still working in B.C.?

I haven't been shooting. Too busy catching trout through the ice. More time to do it since I am now retired.

Dave,
Congratulations on retiring Smiley.

Now you'll have more time to get dug out of those snow banks that are coming, in order to get to Spokane  Grin

Tom, I hope to see you there, too this year Smiley

We plan on being there Dave.......
Frank, we wouldn't miss it!
It is the best shoot and last year was tough not being there, and cant wait to get back there. 
Besides I'm the handicap for the Canadians and the American team should actually chip in for fuel to get me there. As
I generally drop 100 points for Canada.
