I shot in both those matches last March. Both were extremely well run. The USIMLT people had muzzle loaders from New Zealand, some vintage snipers, and us BPCR shooters. We shot according to our own sport's scoring rules etc so it was like shooting a regular BPTR match. Only you watched some USIMLT guys front stuffing on the line or you noticed the crack of a 30.06 in the pits. The RV/tent campground on the range complex is fine and there are restaurants, morning coffee, etc on the other side of the interstate about a mile away and no traffic. There was even 25-32 mph sustained cross winds from both directions at once for the first four days and squirrely winds the rest of the time to provide adverse wind training for the spotters. The "off days" we still had informal shooting so there was no lack of opportunity to shoot 1000 yards. I brought three different rifles to test at 1000 yards and I shot all three during the off days. I would go again this year but we have another commitment close to that time. I will certainly plan for 2020. Highly recommend the trip.
