2007 New Mexico Section Championships

Friday, March 2nd, 2007

RGPSC will host the match again! This is the third year in a row we’ve held the match at the Albuquerque City Shooting Range Park. This year, we’ve moved the match up to June 1-3. It gets hot in August, and after last year’s heat and rain we wanted to hold this match at a better time of year. Early June in New Mexico can’t be beat. It doesn’t start to get hot until late June, and the monsoon kicks in like clockwork in early July. We expect great weather!

This year, we’ll be running 9 stages (on 9 separate berms), all with a dedicated RO staff. Expect 250 rounds plus on our trademark challenging and fun stages.

Shooters from around the Southwest have come to realize that we put on a good show. In 2005 we had 97 shooters. In 2006 we had close to 130 shooters. We’ve capped this year’s match at 135 shooters plus the staff. With 9 stages, we’ll be able to handle this amount of shooters just fine.

Staff shoots on Friday, June 1, and the rest of the competitors can expect 6 or 7 stages on Saturday, and 2 or 3 on Sunday. This is a trophy match, and we go deep on the trophies! Expect some prizes to be raffled, a good lunch on Saturday (included in the match fee), and an “above average” match.

The  match application is available on www.uspsa2.org under “events”.

Hope to see you there.
