Cold Bore shot will be before anyone fires a shot, right after the range/safety briefing. It is a Optional $5 per person pot. One shot at 200 yard steel plate. Whoever is closest to center dot wins the whole pot.


JUST AN FYI

We've spoke about it and have decided that for the first match we're going to try and do the 200 yard cold bore shot directly after range/safety briefing and then will give shooters a little time to sight in after the cold bore shot. So what I previously said about if you sight in you will not be allowed to shoot cold bore is no longer accurate. However, this is a "Sight In" period, not a range session. Please get on the bench or prone and shoot 5-10 shots max to confirm zero and then make room for another shooter. We're trying to keep the match in our allotted time from 9am-2pm. The first match will be a test bed for the cold bore and sighting in period it could change in the future if we run over our time too much.

It doesn't really matter in the first couple of matches because weather will be nice and cool, but the summer matches it is going to be hot and we don't have enough shade to keep everyone cool for extended periods of time. We want it to be fun, but also not take all day long.



Match registration closes Thursday at 4PM, we have 3 spots left.

This is the Course of Fire for Saturday's shoot. Please study it and print it if you'd like a copy for Saturday. Copies will not be provided at the match, we'll have 1 copy per squad.

All stages will be shot using a bipod and one sandbag, unless otherwise stated for that stage. No other props. Shooting mat may be used at any time. If you are using a semi-auto up rifle and the stage requires you to move positions you must put the gun on safety and call out safe to the scorekeeper, then move. Repeated violations of this rule will cause a DQ for this match. Bolt action rifles must have bolt open and back to change positions. Repeated violations will cause a DQ for this match.

There will be three squads. Each squad will be in charge of spotting hits, misses and scoring for themselves. Everyone must take a turn. When the shooter hits the target the spotter will call out impact loudly so the score keeper can mark it. If there is a discrepancy the squad must address it immediately amongst themselves, do not bring it up at the end of the match. If the issue cannot be resolved bring it to the match directors.

Thanks Kyle.......Maybe I’m not imagining the bench properly but Stage 1, scrambling back and forth so much, sounds inherently dangerous. Could the same be accomplished by shooting all distances from one side, then switching to the other? (I know you didn’t come up with it but you’re our ‘mouthpiece’ on the forum)

Should be fine. Semi autos are to put on safe and call out safe before moving positions and bolt guns are supposed to be bolt back. The switching back and forth is to get you uncomfortable. It’s much easier to shoot a 5 shot string right handed and then shoot it left handed. Mixing it up every other shot will shake it up a bit. As long as We handle the rifles correctly and safely it won’t be a problem.

Well crud.....huge problem Saturday......Does anybody know if the John Wick Marathon starts at 1:30 eastern or central?

Man down. Flu A. Y’all have fun and I’ll catch you on the second one. Fun times.

Dang!! Sorry to hear that Greg, will Dax and Jeff still be attending?

Yes. They will be there.

Is there a specific address for the event

If anyone would like to shoot in my spot your welcome to it, please get with kroyal
Flu got me as well

You all should have received an email from myself or practiscore with directions if you did not please PM for directions.

How's everyone preparing for the match? 2Beez said he was abstaining from sex (with girls) for a month. Y'all have other rituals?

Dayum!!!! Shots fired.

I've been so busy getting the match going, I really haven't even thought about shooting in it. It is probably going to be bad for me LOL.

Kyle, what’s the driving/parking situation?

Cleaned and re-fouled barrel today, (you’re right, Kyle, about 50 rounds to get it lubed back up), I’d post a pic of my groups but I wouldn’t want to scare y’all away.

We should be able to drive up the normal road but please wait at the gate when you get there. We’ll be running back and forth until everyone is at the match and checked in.

Come and get some tomorrow ‼️‼️‼️

Wait and follow or wait and catch a ride?.....could make a difference on what to pack.

Not really sure. Just depends on what it looks like tomorrow.

Man I wish I could be there instead of dealing with this. I got $5 says Patrick cleans house and wins first place!

You must be talking about the optional fluffer side pot. He will take first and Fitz will take second no doubt.

Ok, Kyle, thanks.

Dunno, Greg, Patrick can shoot but the Vespermans are pretty salty also......and Josh and Kyle.

Think your fever is getting to you. I might not get first but I’m beating princess dammit.

He got the voodoo
