Big round count. 20 shot strings seem almost unnecessary. Oh well, I guess its a excuse to buy a new barrel and rechamber to something with more barrel life.

I'll PM Someone. We (shooters) get a deal at a local motel about 15 min away. Sometimes there is also camping avalible.

Vedder river inn is the hotel nearest to the shot, as well as the ne that will probably be giving a discount.
Posted this on the other thread and figured I would copy it here - hopefully the match director can shed some light on it:
Happy to see this back this year. Took a quick read over the CoF and have a few questions/concerns. Was it by design to have the shooter/spotter portions hugely limited? Stage 2 and 3 (600m) are with a spotter but 4, 5 and 6 (500m/400m) are not. I am not saying it can't be done - I am just saying that it is going to make things a lot more challenging for a lot of people. Last year we had some incredibly heavy mirage that made target recognition with a spotter incredibly difficult - if we are not going to be shooting with a spotter at 500m then we are in a worse position. I am all for challenging stages, and new stages from previous years - but the balance of having a good time vs being unable to make hits because you don't have a spotter to help you direct your shots seems lacking here. I am going to be coming for sure - I just wanted to call this out as a concern, well before the match.
