Scott,
Sounds like a good excuse for me to get out of Dodge when the weather is at its best here,... not really Dodge and not nice weather - just an idiom...  And an excuse for a new build with a match to try it.
Keep us posted.
Greg

Tom, that's a jab but that's funny!

Will do Greg. I'm fairly certain this match will go down. Whether 5 or 50 participants. I'd like to make this happen.

**Update**
I have spoken with Arizona State Rifle and Pistol Association. leadership. Looks like I can make this match happen. 
Still need to get a few folks to help with scoring and running the line. I've got a few leads (fingers crossed).
Currently working on putting together courses of fire.
Brainstorming sources for trophies/prizes. I think I'm on to something special.
Hopefully next year at this time we will be preparing for our Inaugural Match. 
Happy New Year,
Scott

For the first go of it I am looking to keep it simple.
All events will be 100 yards with any sights.
Match will be limited to 50 participants. 
I want to make sure it keeps moving and doesn't drag on.

Scott.

I will actually show up just to watch and meet some of the Gang here.  That would be fun!  ( and you know how I despise the drive to the West Side ) 

( My interests are in engineering, history, restoration/conservation and informal shooting...I have no competitive interests at all. )

Perhaps I can persuade you into helping with scoring or calling the firing line Wink

Course of fire and targets are pretty much worked out. Tweaking some particulars. We submit our request in June for match dates.
When/if the match goes off it will be in January or February of 2026.
Starting to research options for awards and banquette.
Fingers crossed we get the dates.

What format will you use? Open relays (Schuetzen), or timed shoulder to shoulder relays (smallbore)?

Limiting to 50 shooters seems constricted when considering you’re labeling this a “National “ match.

Last year, the 22BPCRA Nationals attracted 160 shooters nationwide to attend the event at the NRA Whittington Center in Raton. 

If you’re serious about creating a “Nationals” event, then you ought to consider how to accommodate more than 50 competitors.

I agree Moose. However, I’m concerned about this being the first match and don’t want it to flop. I’m uncertain about having volunteers to help score targets run the line etc….
The 22 BPCRA is a robust organization with support from inside it’s ranks.
“Schuetzen” is not as popular as 22 BPCR. If we actually had 50 participants I would be quite pleased.
We will see how this one goes and build from there  Smiley
