This Sundance, Wyoming Shoot is Handgun Only, with bench matches at 500, 750, and 1,000 yards. In 2010 we are adding a "Roving Field Course", which is very similar to a field tactical course, but with a "hunting flavor". The Field course will be shot on steel......
Check out our website, you can get a better idea of what is offered. You'll see some faces you might know... Ernie Bishop, Steve Hugel and Mark Hampton. Make sure you read the article in American Handgunner (Jan.-Feb. issue) that Mark wrote on the 2009 Shoot. (Available digitally on our site)
If you are searching for something different, make sure you give this match a look!
Thanks, Mike

Hello Mike! And welcome to Handgun Hunter Magazine!
I am buying an XP-100 (compliments of Ernie) and hope to have a gun built by then and be able to attend.

Steve, It will be the best yet....EVERYONE is putting a lot into the Shoot and even though we have more than 6 months to go, there is a LOT of interest. We have been posting and "stacking" flyers wherever we can...and Rich Mertz will be going to the Shot Show in Vegas in January, and leaving a trail of "Shoot Flyers" along the way!
If anyone is not aware, we have a couple of Flyers that anyone can print on their PC and post at their range, friendly gun shop, etc. Flyer #2 is the best choice (see our website nav-bar). I left an earlier one on as well, because it explains a little more. For anyone that would do us that favor...we greatly appreciate! Or simply print one and mail it to a friend who is not "computer friendly".
Gregg, Thank You for the kind words, and your Support! I started contacting vendors on approx. Nov. 1st, and results have been almost overwhelming! Thank You to all of our Supporters, Vendors, and Media Contacts who will make 2010 a great year for LR Handgunning.....make sure everyone checks our Link Pages, and that you support those that support us....
Gregg, when that project gets further along, make sure you share some details....I think all of us live "vicariously" through each others projects....Ernie will steer you in the right direction.
Thanks Everyone!
Mike

Too bad there isn't a long range iron sight wheelgun group. Use your FA in the silhouette class. You may place or win, as this is a new class, so I doubt if there will be a lot of competitors.

Any caliber or cartridge restrictions? First, Welcome gibar!!! I do not know enough about Silhouette competition to know what restrictions exist or don't exist. Giving Rich a call is what I would do (307)283-3030 Here is what the MOA web site says:Richard Mertz has introduced another event for the Silhouette Shooters out there. For 2010 any Handgun which meets IHMSA rules for Iron Sight Production or Iron Sight Unlimited Pistol may compete in this event. This Match will be shot at 500 yards, for group, on paper. You will be shooting from the Creedmoor position, on a raised platform. The other particulars and safety rules will be the same as the bench matches! # Any Handgun meeting Iron Sight Production or Iron Sight Unlimited Rules is welcome. # Designed to be shot as a "shooter/spotter team" # You have 5 minutes when called to the line to get set-up, and ready to shoot. Safety Flags must be in guns. # Upon the Line Rep's command, remove safety flags, and you have 5 minutes, shooting at steel sighters, then pause to clear area of all but 5 rounds of ammunition for record group. Then... # You will have 5 minutes to shoot your 5 shots on Paper, for Record Group, at 500 yards, from the Creedmoor Position. # The 2 best groups from each relay will go to the Shootoffs.

Hello Mike! And welcome to Handgun Hunter Magazine!
I am buying an XP-100 (compliments of Ernie) and hope to have a gun built by then and be able to attend. Gregg- it's gonna be great to see u there. U know this could be just what the DR. ordered for the SP world. Since the old BR shoots that they used to have there's really been no formal gathering that had the possibility of attracting so many shooters as well as promoting SP shooting--long overdue IMO! Thanks to Mike for his promoting it and Rich's MOA.

Russell,
Sounds great! A New E.A. Brown, I "think" you'll be the first to shoot one at the MOA....sounds like a nice gun. If you have any questions, feel free...I'm sure that one of us has the answer. Looking forward to meeting you!

Lookin' forward to it. Went to the MOA web site and printed off the entry form and the two flyers. Trying to talk an old high school buddy and his wife into making the trip, too. George is an XP shooter and would make a good 'spotter'.

Russell...Sounds great! We are planning a PD Shoot in the Gillette area for Monday and Tuesday prior to the MOA Shoot. We'll have more details available....I'm looking forward to it! If you are interested let us know, we'll get some more details to you.
Dale, Happy to see you are signed on! Checked on SP to see how you were doing....hope you are feeling better.
Happy New Year to All!

Dan, I know the feeling. So much to do, so little time. I actually made a "pro-con" list for tags, applications for 2010 yesterday. Made a "promise" to myself that I would DO (not WANT to do) some of those things that I always had an interest for....it is a challenge to balance time, money, and family.
As Steve said earlier in the post, this shoot would be a great place for us all to gather....really...it is unique.... Long Range Handgunning has few other venues! Dan...keepin' up hope for you! I know Ernie would really like to get you there!

Necessities for the match:
Items to consider for this years shoot:
Accomodations - Three decent motels in Sundance but very limited dining choices. Check our website for local accomodations. If you are coming with the family I would suggest staying in Spearfish SD. This town has most of the chain motels and restaurants. Even has a wallyworld for forgotten necessities. This is a 30 min. drive from Sundance.
The range - The match is held on leased ranch/grazing land. There is enough parking for a large turnout but we need to be mindful to the owners. This year the match is being held in late June so expect temps of mid 80's. The grass will be dry. It would be a good suggestion to carpool from the motels if possible. Also because of the dry grass a vehicle with some ground clearance so as not to catch the grass on fire from a hot catalytic converter is suggested. Elevation at the range is approx. 4830 feet.
There is no shade at the match so if you have an extra canopy to share will be nice. There will be a portapotty. Bring chairs, drinks and and food you need. No concessions at the range.
Match needs for the Cold Turkey Match - The benchtops are approx. 24" square and 36" tall or slightly less depending how much landscaping is needed to get the bench level. You will need to bring your own shooting stool, rest, bags, Kestrel, line windflags, spotting scope. 15 rounds for score at each distance with an unlimited number of sighters for each 5 min. prep time(3 groups of 5 for score and a separate prep time for each string).
Match needs for Open sight - much simpler for us sillywet shooters - ammo for sighters and record shots, shooting mat, elbow pad, spotting scope etc.
Match needs for the field course - ammo, the rest of your choice, spotting scope, range finder, water and BOOTS - there are small cacti on the property and also some of those things that RATTLE!
I am sure that I have omitted something so check back for updates.
And yes - once you have packed all the little things don't forget your GUNS!
Lets all have fun this summer in Sundance and get your entries in early so the necessary targets and barbeque items can be planned. Gary/MOA Shooters Committee
Update #1: Richard may work a deal with Blackhills Shooters Supply on reloading supplies. You will be able to pick up at the match and save shipping and hazmat fees. Contact Rich for additional info.

Yes, no hunting license is required for varmints in Wyoming. But if you were born after 1964 you must have a hunters education card with you when shooting varmints to present to a game officer if he asks for it.
Just making sure nobody gets a ticket. I had to turn mine in when I got my license years ago, so last year I retook my hunters ed with my son to get a card.

Dale,
Thank you...good catch. I'm going through and adding that to the forums where we have posted.
Here is the link to their FAQ page dealing with the subject...if you are using a firearm to shoot P-Dogs, and you were born after 1965, you must have a valid Hunter Safety Certificate. Wyoming Game and Fish (misc. category) FAQ page

I just called Wyoming Game and Fish at 307-777-4600 and was told "no." Also refer to page 42 of the 2010 Wyoming Big Game License Application Booklet.
It would be a good thing to do however as it does help the Game Management departments and the cost is only $12.50.

Sheriff, You are welcome, Sir. I may be one page off however: this time I found it on page 43: http://gf.state.wy.us/downloads/pdf/10appbooklet/10NR42-44.pdfThe distinguishing language that is pertinent is "each person LICENSED to hunt or fish in Wyoming must purchase (1) Conservation Stamp for $12.50..." Because a LICENSE is not required to shoot Prairie Dogs the Conservation Stamp requirement does not apply. Still, I urge those that attend the prairie dog shoot to buy the Conservation Stamp. Wyoming is one of the last "best" hunting states in the lower 48 and we can help it stay strong in that way. My Ninety-Nine Cents Worth. Gregg Richter

It looks like the moderators over at the Beartooth Bullet forum are not exactly enthralled about the MOA shoot. With lots of competition for our cast bullet dollars, it should be noted.
