The Ontelaunee Run and Gun Challenge

[JDshoots]

Here it is. The match everyone for who ever wanted to try IDPA can play. This is a fun match, one where the scores are kept, but the winners only get bragging rites. It is a little bit of I-Core, IDPA, IPSC and the like, in a match setup just to have fun. Look at the scores for the last match and you’ll see there were over 70 participants with 54 just using stock autos. 50% of the people never shot a run and gun before, myself included.

It is held at Ontelaunee Rod And Gun Club http://www.ontelaunee.org/ but nonmembers can participate too. Our club is in New Tripoli, it is very easy to get to maybe 15-20 minutes north west off the PA Turnpike Northeast extension exit for Allentown.

Rules
1) No holster required. All stages will start with gun in hand, muzzle on post/table. Shooters wishing to draw from a holster will start in the surrender position. Gun must be kept in range bag or holster and you will need to secure weapon in such at end of stage.
2) Each stage will be in multiples of 6 - 12, 18, 24 or 30. Match will be very revolver friendly.
3) Shooter will need minimum of 5 magazines and/or 6 speedloaders to complete some of the stages. You may carry as many as needed but under no circumstance will you be allowed to have someone loading and handing you ammo during the run.
4) Dropping a gun at anytime, loaded or empty, will result in a match DQ, no exceptions to this rule!
5) Stage design & description may dictate engagement sequence, firing position or firing style (standing, kneeling or prone). A stop plate may be used to end target engagement. Foot fault lines and shooting boxes will be used to control shooter movement.
6) Competitors may fire as many rounds as deemed necessary to complete each stage. Shooter may re-engage targets as needed to score hits.
7) Any live ammo falling to ground during run is "dead" and may not be retrieved and used for that stage.
8) Reload as needed - no restrictions as to when and where.
9) Targets will be any size/shape paper, static steel, knockdown steel and/or bowling pins. All paper targets will get 2 shots and require 2 full bullet hits on paper to score as hits. Any bullet breaking the edge of a paper target or touching black hardcover will be a miss. Static steel targets require 1 bullet hit on the face of the target. Any hits to sides will score as a miss. Knockdown steel must fall! Bowling pins must be knocked over.
10) Match will use a 180' muzzle safe point. Breaking the 180 will result in a match DQ.
11) Minimum power factor will be whatever it takes for your pistol to knock down steel. 130pf is recommended. Maximum velocity of 1200fps is in effect to prevent damage to steel targets.
12) All reloads must come from belt or pants pockets unless course description states otherwise (box, table, etc…)
13) Squib loads. Safety is paramount - STOP and clear weapon. Remove firearm to a safe gun handling area to check for any barrel obstructions. Competitor may re-shoot stage when weapon is safe. A jam/failure to feed is not considered a squib. Clear it and deal with it.
14) All auto pistols will be limited to a maximum of 8 rounds in any magazine. 1911 guns with 7 round mags will be allowed to top off to 8 rounds to start. 8 rounds max in gun to start.
15) Have fun and enjoy the match! Help as needed painting and taping to keep match running smooth.
