2 Gun Action Challenge Match, Atglen Sportsmens Club PA May 9th, ,2021

**Steve_NEPhila** · April 16th, 2021, 01:27 PM

A new program has been approved at my club, Atglen Sportsmens Club in Christiana, PA. This will be a 2 gun (carbine, pistol) match on May 9th, 2021. This is a physical match that will involve running, shooting and optional physical challenges. First off, a few items of note:

-Braced large format pistols can be used in the place of a carbine, as long as they are treated as a carbine.
-Body armor and ballistic helmets are welcomed, there is an armored division for them.
-Atglen has a 500 meter range that we will be using as the first stage, there will be lots of running and the longest carbine target will be about 95 yards. Most targets will be much closer.
-This match will have almost no reset, the majority of the targets are reactive. Multiple runs on each stage will be possible if time permits.
-Optional physical challenges (10 push ups before the start buzzer or take this ammo can filled with sand with you for the stage) will grant time bonuses.
-Pistol mounted optics are allowed in all divisions.
-There is a pistol caliber carbine division that will also include 300 BO subsonic.
-Participants with silencers are encouraged AND get to shoot before other participants.

Estimated round count: 100 carbine, 100 pistol (you should need much less, this is an upper limit estimate). For example, the long stage course of fire will be 14 carbine hits ad 6 pistol hits. The short range stage will be 3 carbine hits and 12 pistol hits. Forced mag changes will be a feature in this match.

Feel free to message me if you have questions.

Sounds like a great time. Since it's booked up for May I'll try to see about the June match.

* Registered for June - hopefully not a scorcher

Damn, I've been saying I need something like this in the area, but I'm already committed to SO'ing for an IDPA match locally.

Hopefully if there's a match cancellation I'll be able to make it down in the not too distant future!

All are welcome... even if it is just to come and watch. I expect this match to be held monthly (once we get approval) and I want to hold a monthly "practice session" with a semi structured run of carbine and pistol drills, open to the public. More news on that will come in the future...

Sounds great, wish there was something like this on the other side of the state.

Start it at your club? If you do, feel free to dm me about what I learned doing it... I would love to help another club get this up and running.

Hats off to Steve for running a very fun event. The weather mostly held (only a little rain) and I had a great time.

I will definitely need to work more on my cardio. I thought I was prepared -- but after running after two guys who pulled off ~2 minute runs on the long course, I was taken down quite a few pegs.

Had to head out a bit early to fulfill my Mother's Day duties.

Hoping to see the crew again in future events!
