Walking the Coyote at the PRGC match

Well, that was fun, but a long day. Last time (oct-09) it seemed like four 5-shot stages was too little, so I increased the round count, I also imposed tighter time limits, but the day still took longer than last time.

We had 6 shooters, including 2 visiting relatives, experienced hunters from Colorado.

First stage, 3 shots each at 414, ~350 and 300 yds, slow fire any position at antelopes. The ~350 yd stage had a barricade emulating high grass so prone could not be used.

Second stage was various distances between 280 and 210 yards. Some were 2 shots in 30 seconds some 1 shot in 20 seconds, where the shooter had to move into position, set up and fire in the time limit. Targets were deer, antelope and bear.

Third stage was Coyotes. 10 shots at 100 yds, coyote’s “walking”, while sitting in a ground blind with the caller howling.

Fourth stage was a Know your Limits, up to 5 shots at 100 yds any position, at progressively smaller but higher scoring targets with all points lost if you fire a miss.

Fifth stage was a sudden elimination offhand shoot at 200 yd gong with progressively higher score per hit and elimination at the first miss. One shooter fired 5 shots, missing only the last.

The animal targets used a hit/miss/wound/decline scoring formula that heavily penalizes a wound. With miss or wound carrying negative points, NO SHOOTER HAD A POSITIVE SCORE!

Rifles ranged from .22-250, .270, 300 WM, .30-06 and one shooter used a .375 H&H for some stages and .17 HMR for others.

I’ll get the pics up in a bit.
