This will be a “blind” match. The purpose of this match will be to test a shooter’s ability to quickly and accurately react to and engage targets whose location is unknown to the shooter prior to the timer going off. Shooters will only receive a verbal description of the course of fire (which firearm to use on which targets, how the shooter will begin/end the course of fire, where to dump/stow firearms, usage of a stop plate, etc.) from the Range Safety Officer prior to shooting the stage. Shooters will not actually see the course of fire/targets, be given a “visual” walk-through, and/or have time to stage plan/walk through on their own prior to shooting the stage. 
Safety is of the utmost importance, and will be strongly emphasized during the entire match.
Round Count is approximately 120 rifle (no green tip/LAP/steel core), 120 pistol, 50 birdshot (#7.5/8 shot), and 15 slugs. Always bring extra…
Sign-in begins at 10:00 a.m. (all shooters must sign in). Safety and Rules Meeting will begin at approximately 10:40 a.m. Shooting starts at 11:00 a.m.

Arctic Blast Pistol and PCC Match
The BRASS match held on February 24th "Arctic Blast" was a huge success !  Six courses of fire and approximately 40 registrants on a beautiful Saturday made for excellent match play! Each bay brought its own unique test for the shooter. In one scenario, the challenger must take out all foes while being cautious to not engage hostages. Another bay offers the contender a smorgasbord of visual challenges, with steel behind steel, perps behind hostages, singularly hidden targets that can only be seen if the contender stands in the most advantageous spot to see them!  One of the most fun and challenging bays employed Rob Coleman's RSC Tactical Auto Targets - if you haven't had a chance to challenge yourself against these auto-targets, you must try next time!  One bay had timed targets present to the contender forcing the shooter to take action within a 3-second time frame - every second counts to decide mag changes, engage moving targets, challenging critical thinking skills and dexterity, all the while trying to implement the best strategy to correctly hit all targets! The gauntlet is thrown to be innovative in the game play - angle strategy, mag change planning, speed, accuracy, and agility - the very best of shooting fun!  Great job to Bob Leavitt and to all the hard working Range Officer's and volunteers who utilize many hours for strategic planning making these events the best they can be!
