What is the normal weather during the matches? How do I register? Can I register on site? Can I ship my ammunition to the site prior to the match? How do I get to the range?  What are the matches and courses of fire? Are there RV parks close by? Is there camping or RV hook ups at the range? Are there hotels and restaurants nearby? Are there practice sessions? Where can I purchase ammo?

What is the normal weather during the matches?

Generally the weather is in the upper 70s to lower 80s during this time period. It gets into the 50s at night. Winds are generally light and variable. Hydrate or die holds true here. This is the high desert, the humidity is very low, and there is a lot of sun. You will de-hydrate very fast. Wearing sunscreen, lip balm, and a hat is very important. The UV index is very high here and you can get a nasty sunburn fast!
