just looking at the stage descriptions. Stage 2, how do you set up a target that a person could get a hit on, but can not see? I understand the concept of being walked on target, I just don't get how the stage could be set-up that way.

great match, when will the apps be out for 2012?

i would not be the least bit surprised to see a strobe light.........he has used them before.

have you been to our match in Moyock?

Any on site camping?

because by design single point, two point, and three point slings used in the matter that we use them points the muzzle down. Save the muzzle up two point for your hunting rifle.

How do you guys handle hot slung carbines, and the issue of the 180? In my opinion a carbine can be slung hot with the safety on, and it should be pointed relatively downward. Some two and three point slings point the carbine back a foot or two behind the shooter.
