Cheyenne Mountain Precision Rifle Match- August 2016
A couple months ago I shared a video of the Cheyenne Precision Rifle match that occurs the fourth Saturday of every month at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs. You can view that post and the video from a match in February 2016 here: Cheyenne Mountain Precision Match Report.
Starting in August of this year, the match director, Ryan, got some help from some other shooters looking to build a match designed more like a Precision Rifle Series (PRS) match. The goal was to have a higher round count, more shooting stages, and additional shooting positions and challenges to help those shooters that are trying to prepare for the larger multi-day matches.
While a couple of the targets didn't arrive on time, they were still able to put together a great match. Below is a video of me shooting the match, as well as a few shots of my brother shooting (it was his first shooting match ever).
Here are the stage descriptions that were used for the match:

I had a lot of fun at this match and definitely like the changes that were made. The new format makes the match feel more like a "big match." It should definitely help polish the skills of the shooters that are looking to prepare for the PRS matches.
What do you look for in a local rifle match? Do you look for high round counts and difficult positions? Or do you prefer shooting more traditional positions and difficult targets? Let me know in the comments below.
