A the next shoot in the series is set for Saturday, July 26. Check in 7:30-8 a.m.

The Northwest Precision Steel Series Challenge has divisions for tactical and hunting class shooters, says organizer Doug Glorfield.

Tactical competitors will engage targets at distances of 175-1,250 yards in seven stations.  Hunting and youth shooters will do five stations at 150-600 yards.

Shooters will compete for cash prizes on Saturday and in the other series shoots set for June 28, July 26 and Aug. 30. 

"My dad and I built the range last year, Rock Lake Rifle Range LLC," he said, noting that the site is west of the south end of  Rock Lake. "We built it to host long-range rifle shoots to bang away at steel."
