1st Annual Patrol Rifle Challenge

[orionz06]

Any update on round 2? This lack of a winter has got me ready to start shootin more frequently.

Think of the event last year, what do you guys want to see more of, less of, and is there anything we should keep the same?

Feel free to email me if you want.

I wasn't able to attend last year, but will try to this year.

From what I could see on nomoreop4's youtube videos it looked like an excellent match with a good variety of short and mid range targets. I only shoot irons and really enjoy difficult targets.

If you didn't have any 200 to 300 yard shots required to be shot from SBU or any rollover prone variations, I would love to see some. The mastering of these positions is only evident @ 150+ yards.

I also like to see barricades/cover (whether natural terrain features or man-made) that you can't "cheat" from.--- unlike barrels. If using a barrel as a barricade I like to see another feature that prevents one from leaning out too far.

I also like to see obstructions/hard cover in line of sight that will deflect or stop a bullet (dirt berm etc if safe for the layout of the range in use) or a temporary "shootable" wall (coroplast etc) that you can score the penalty hit from.


Of course this makes more work for the set-up crew. If I have any ideas that involve less work I'll let you know too.





Window problem: if you shoot the frame it was a penalty coroplast works better than cardboard though.











forced sbu (opening is less than 3") shooter physically can't shoot with rifle in upright postions, sights and scopes would be blocked











forced rollover prone (although I actually raised the "bumper" as you can see toward the right for this event because there were some new shooters on that day.

MTE Tactical has some videos, I did force prone and roll over last time, those are keepers for sure. I like the window idea... Putting the brain to work...

To bad my 6920 (first rifle) will not be in until "Mid-April". This souds like a great event.

[orionz06]

It will be late summer and we are looking into having loaner/rental guns available.

OK someone call Kent State for me and tell them im sending my diploma back. If I can't tell April from August and 2011 from 2012 I can't be trusted to use the phone. Hopefully I can manage the postage and the address myself.

One suggestion is that you might have one stage where it would be optional to transition to a handgun rather than reload? Not required to have a handgun, but a realistic choice.

[orionz06]

That would be ideal although for simplicity in running the match and allowing anyone to sign up no transitions makes a lot of sense. We will have some pistol shooting for those wishing to participate though. New thread will be coming soon, gotta iron the details out and send them to the web guy.

Awesome! Can't wait.

Please link the new thread here so I don't miss it. This sounds like fun!
