ELR Heavy Match - Redemption at the Ranch Weekend

This is an ELR (Extreme Long Range) precision rifle competition hosted at Day Mountain Ranch Gun Range in Preston. The "Redemption at the Ranch" format gives shooters a chance to test their skills across multiple stages at extended distances, with opportunities to improve scores throughout the weekend.

ELR matches emphasize accuracy with heavy caliber rifles at distances typically 800 yards and beyond. You'll shoot from various positions and barricades across different stages. The competition tests your ability to read wind, manage recoil, and make precise calculations for bullet drop and elevation adjustments.

This event is designed for shooters with experience in precision rifle shooting. You should be comfortable with long-range ballistics, have a properly zeroed rifle, and understand fundamentals of wind reading and range estimation. Competitors range from dedicated hobbyists to experienced match shooters.

Expect multiple stages set up across the range with different shooting distances, targets, and firing positions. The weekend structure allows shooters to apply lessons learned early in the day to later stages—hence the "redemption" theme. Scoring typically rewards accuracy within specific point zones on targets.

Located in Preston, Day Mountain Ranch provides the open terrain and distance needed for ELR competition. DMR Gun & Knife Works runs a professional operation with well-maintained facilities.
