If anyone's interested in learning a bit more about what practical/field long-range matches are all about, there is an opportunity to be an assistant range officer or helper at the 2011 Thunder Beast Team Challenge, operated by Competition Dynamics, Nov 4-6th in Logan NM. Details here

RO/helpers would have to be there a day ahead of time.
I also have a couple last-minute slots available for teams to shoot.
