    The match is intended for semi-auto rifle and pistol in centerfire.


    But it is a loose run what you brung format and .22lr is allowed, revolver or magazine fed bolt action is fine too. Just NO TUBE-FEDS.

    you'll just have a rimfire handicap added to your score, unless you bring homemade chocolate chip cookies or homemade hot cocoa, then it's all even.

    Is rimfire considered an advantage or a disadvantage?

    Furthermore, what specific center fire rifle would be appropriate and economical?

    As you can tell, I have no knowledge of this type of event, but I'm interested in learning more.

    I checked out this web site: http://www.uspsa.org/

    Is this the organization that sanctions the event or is it a different group?

    Thanks

    I am trying to make this one as I have heard you run a very nice shoot.

    Tentative CoF: subject to change according to range and weather conditions and quantity and quality of chocolate chip cookies or hot chocolate brought by participants.

    Bring appropriate footwear; Range WILL have some areas with mud underfoot. Also consider that it is December in PA, not July on Waikiki. Beach.

    Pistol mags: can preload 4 with 14 rounds each.
    Rifle mags: can preload 3 with 11 rounds each.
    One Barney Mag.
    There is time to load mags at event and we can work around mag shortages if necessary.




    Stage 1. Pistol or Carbine:
    Point Shoot / Failure to Stop scored exercise (3 mags x 14 rounds)

    2 shots point shooting to body of target then 1 aimed shot to head.
    1 shot point shooting to body of two targets then 1 aimed shot at each target.
    Will repeat this numerous times (all for score)

    Stage 2. Pistol or Carbine: 50 yard Practical Stage (3 mags of 15 rounds each)

    Similar to an USPSA stage: As in there’s a whole bunch of Targets, -- now shoot them.

    Stage 3: Carbine (100 yard) or Pistol (50 yard) Balloon then bulls eye for each of 3 mags of 11.

    Time limit ?: Must first pop a small balloon from standing position with no support, then remainder of mag at bulls eye for score. Change mags and repeat kneeling, then change mags and repeat in prone (balloon must be popped from standing for each mag)

    For each wasted bullet from a miss of the balloon = minimum 10 points you’ll never get back.

    Stage 4: Carbine Only. 100 yard Kneeling and Prone variations exercise: (4 mags x 10 rounds each)

    Kneeling and Prone variations exercise: Bulls eye for score.
    Kneeling, Prone, Urban Prone, and SBU prone from various positions.
    edit... forgot to mention you will also be using your alternate trigger finger.


    Stage 5: Carbine Only. Practical 100 yard (2 mags x30 round max)

    Similar to an USPSA stage and there will be some targets that must be engaged from behind cover, with partially blocked line of sight that will have to be shot from urban or SBU prone.

    Was there enough interest to run morning and afternoon, or is everyone to report in the morning?
