That is 5.56/.223 or 7.62x51/.308 calibers.
Optics and Irons will be scored together.

Targets are reactive and also paper.

Scoring will be time plus.

Oh man that sounds like fun!!!

 

Unfortunately I have to work and it is one of the very few days that I can't take off!

 

Have fun and I hope you do another one soon!

Thanks for posting about the match, Jim.

If anyone has any questions about the match. PM me here or use my email above

 

In case any one doesn't know, time plus scoring will be. 2 shot anywhere on the target (1 shot anywhere for 308) or 1 A zone hit.  Misses or failure to shoot at will add time to your score.

 

One of the stages will have weak hand shooting and possibly urban prone. 

Mike, do you have a rough round count? Trying to decide if I need to rush my reloading schedule or fall back to factory ammo ?

200 rounds, if you shoot 2 on each target

Woot, I don't have to reload .223 between now and them. Thanx, do you have all the stages you need?

Definitely can use stages

Definitely want to shoot this. Now I have to work around PCC outdoor..

Mike,

 

I beleive we will have 4 automatic resetting targets from GT for the 100 yard range. I have a stage idea for it. we'll talk.

Now my wife is really going to dislike you guys. Another good reason so buy another gun! I see I have two weeks, gotta start the search now!

Err based on on your name I'd assume you have some for form of AR.

Think I'm gonna do this. It will be my first time.

A little bit more info about the match.

 

Slings aren't needed and can't be used to carry the rifle from stage to stage. Rifle will need to be in a case or on a cart.

What time would this wrap up?

Depends on how many shooters?

Thats true of all matches. Assume 5pm plus or minus a bit for most matches like this

The more build help we get the earlier we can start, the more people keep their squads moving the earlier we finish, the more people help tear down and put away the match the earlier we lock the gate on our way out.

 

Really that simple. This is a volunteer sport.

I'd love to participate, and would gladly volunteer my help, but I'm severely restricted time-wise due to work and family obligations.

This sounds really cool though, I hope you guys have a great match-have fun!

 

 

 

Ugggh...of course im working the midnight before. I would just go straight from work but on the weekends I can never guarantee getting out.

There, you sealed the deal, now I will buy one two................       

 

PS: I do have plenty of ammo for them, just never bought a semi yet. I bought two little CZ carbines which use 5.56 and 7.62x39 as plinkers. Really nice little guns. Time for a couple of semis.

There are still slots available for this match. You can shoot this with any semi-auto rifle/carbine. Most targets will be short range. Longest shots are 100 yards.

The 100 yard stage will have steel targets, so please no steel core/ perpetrator bullets on this stage.  If it attracts a magnet, don't use it.

The stages will have time limits. they will be generous but are needed to keep the match moving. 

 

I still need help with building the stages,  sooner they are built, sooner we can start. 

Are there still spots open.

If the application is still up on the website, then probably yes.

Online registration for this match has closed. We will accept walk-ons.Be at the range and help out.  Registraiton opens befre 9am and closes at 930. If you all help we just might get shooting by 1000!

So. When or where can the next one be held. To start vlad held the safety breifing. 14 new shooters. Wow. Impressive. Then approaching the stages. Truly alot of thought went into the designing of the stages. From 7' to 100 yard steel plate knockdowns. To targets with inlaid clays. Man they sucked. Everyone in my squad had difficulty with them But hey. Thats what makes you better. 6 stages that did not resemble the other. I tried to get there by 8 am but wtf. This is more secretive than a mafia hideout. Three different addresses and no signs. Never being there before. We got there around 9:15. My squad was full of great people. Dennis came from connecticut for the match. Eddy gunz. Ro'd and full of knowledge Problem around was the mags. Ftf was a big one. Even on higher quality blocked magpuls. Same gripe from alot of people. But overall it ran smoothly. For me. I prefer rifle over pistol so if there were more i'd hit them anytime they came around. From the looks of it all spots were filled. I barely got a space to park and had to block two people in The next one y'all got to try it out. I brought a neighboor that just bought an ar off me and we went to the range two times with him and gave him some pointers. He asked me when the next one was. He shot good enough with open sights and cant wait for the next. I was the one with the masonic t shirt from pennington nj were our police force is awesome. God bless and hope to see you again.

Thanks for coming to the match, glad you enjoyed it. I would like to thank everyone that helped me with the match, it would never had happened if it wasn't for everyone's hard work.

Mike, that was pretty damn good for your first MD job (or I think it was your first MD job).  It would have been good for an experienced MD.  I'll be honest, I thought that 7 stages would have taken for ever to run everyone through, but it moved smoothly.

Also, apparently scores are up: http://www.obcats.com/obcats-scores/2014-06-29/index.html

Glad to see this match came together so well.  One day I hope to join you.

 

Question for future reference...would pistol caliber cabines be acceptable in this type of match?
