As a neat trial by fire and "wake up" Freddie is running a Practical Rifle COF on July 15 that has a decidedly defensive application.

"For those that attended the Sniper competition, this is going to be run the same way. It will be a mixture of shooting, and non-shooting events, including reloading, 100/200 score shooting, running, and other challenging but safely controlled activities. This competition will be SOMEWHAT PHYSICALLY DEMANDING, and as before will be an individual effort competition.

REQUIRED GEAR:

1 - Semi-automatic, centerfire rifle capable of reliably firing at least fifteen rounds in one loading. (e.g. M4, AR15, Kalashnikov variant, G3, FAL, M1A). With at least five magazines, and 200 rounds of ammunition.
A SLING IS REQUIRED. It must be able to support the rifle reliably when on your shoulder.
1a - A handgun with holster that is capable of firing ten rounds without reloading, or extra magazines if not.
2 - Field removable Combat optic, with BUIS, or Iron sights exclusively.
3 - Sunscreen, Hat, Eye and Ear protection
4 - Physical fitness and endurance sufficient to endure a full day of competitive shooting, running events, and other physically demanding tasks.
5 - Range experience, and discipline to follow instructions, and observe basic safety rules.
6 - A personal water supply, such as a camelback, or big honkin' jug and a canteen.
7 - A rucksack, which must be sized sufficiently to contain all gear you will use that day.
8 - A Tee shirt, any color, any design, that fits you, and that you've said your final good-bye's to.
9 - Attentiveness to the match, and willingness to pitch in with target changes, score recording, etc.
10 - PA shooters - Extra 20/30 round magazines to share with the Jersey shooters.
11 - Lunch, snacks, sodium tablets, whatever you need.

It's better if I don't reveal the CoF too precisely, but there are events included such as these:

1 - The Tacticathalon (mixture of live firing events ranging from handgun to LMG).
2 - Oscar's nasty garbage can.
3 - The preposition problem.
4 - Monica's war.
5 - Monica's war, with a "load"
6 - The brownwater commando.
7 - The Mogadishu mile.
8 - Me and my optic, and my backup irons.
9 - the Mad Minute.
10 - The Tee shirt killer

Some or all of these may be included, or altered at the match director's leisure (Remember the first event of the Sniper comp?) Targets will range from polymer reactive, through realistic humanoid, through paper/cardboard.

I'm running the event, and will handle it with all the energy and professionalism that I tried to bring to the first match.

SAME SAFETY RULES WHICH WILL BE STRINGENTLY ENFORCED.

I'm sorry but we're not providing lunch on this one. If you have a PACT timer, please bring it to allow us to speed up the individual effort stages.

Mark your magazines on the bottom of the floorplate with some identifying mark to make sure you get them back.



Let me know if you're coming, and if you're bringing anyone so I have a rough head count. Some of these events are full line, others are individual, so I can take more shooters than the last match. No pre-registration required. Members: $15.00 Non-members: $25.00

Start time will be 9:30am SHARP.
