Just updated the team website with the following: Dear Shooters, As expected, our Saturday slots have sold out very quickly. We want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to the local shooting community for supporting the team every time we hold this event! Email confirmations for match registrations should go out by Friday, March 4th. We will be opening a waiting list for Saturday slots. Any application for Saturday that is postmarked before today (2/25) will be offered a place on the waitlist, followed by email requests sent to cwtmatch@gmail.com with "Saturday Waitlist" in the subject heading. Thank you again for all your support and we look forward to seeing on the range! FRIDAY SLOTS ARE STILL AVAILABLE Jim, shot you a few emails/phone calls from 11 days ago with no reply... where's the love?

Saturday Slots are SOLD OUT. We are now accepting Friday & Night Vision Shoot Apps only. Thanks!

Yes, first round of confirmations should be going out next week- thanks!

We'll have the exact times listed as the date approaches, but the safest bet would be to have your evening plans cleared out starting around 6pm.

teemch5, That is correct- not cheap, but for a great cause and you'll get your money's worth out of it. The Night Vision Shoot will be a very memorable experience that is going to be led by a subject matter expert that does nothing but teach this class to military units throughout the country. You'll get a basic primer on the equipment that you see in all the photos of our soldiers, followed by a class on zero, followed by making lots of noise and brass in the dark at steel targets at varying distances out to 200+ yards. You haven't experienced the leading edge of small arms technology until you've laid an M4 across your LAP while sitting cross-legged in the dark, and dumped round after round of 5.56mm on an IPSC steel target at 200 yds while enjoying the halo of sparks erupting off the surface of the steel through your PVS-14s. You'll also get to see some IR toys that are NOT usually seen on the news pictures, but will wow you with what is being used on today's battlefield. Hope to see you there!

If someone can confirm if the links are working I'd appreciate it- thanks!

Well, what do you know? I thought I'd have to bump up my post count before being able to post links, but I guess we're good to go Here you go guys! Match Registration Form Match Waiver Night Vision Shoot Waiver

Teemch5, Sorry for the delay. We submitted the forms for uploaded, but I just found out Friday that updating the team website is in the hands of the IT personnel at West Point, and not in the hands of our PAO cadet. Since it didn't make it up on Friday, it'll probably be Tuesday before our team website is updated by the IT office. I'll be updating this thread as well as starting a new thread on Arfcom shortly with links to the required registration forms and waivers...

But only if they are tears of joy CWT USMA and I have been volunteers for the CWT 11 years and counting now (I can't believe its been that long!), and I can tell you that your contributions from shooting this phenomenal match will go towards an OUTSTANDING group of young soldiers who are truly the finest that the academy has to offer. The seeds sown now will pay dividends when you have actual shooters that understand progressive firearms training sitting on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. But don't get me started because I can go on and on about why this team matters. ANYWAYS, the match rules have been updated on the team website (www dot combatweaponsteam dot com) and we will be posting the Registration form and Waivers for the general public this Friday. Thanks for the interest in our match!!!

The USMA Combat Weapons Team (CWT) is proud to announce that the 4th Annual Houghton Memorial 2-Gun Challenge will be held at West Point on April 22-23, 2011 (Friday & Saturday, 1 day format, Pistol/Rifle). For information on Captain Andrew Houghton and his charitable foundation, please visit www(dot)andyhoughton(dot)org. For information on the CWT, please visit www(dot)combatweaponsteam(dot)com. Details on the Match and registration will be posted in early February as we finalize range arrangements. What you can expect is another challenging competition that will test shooter and equipment, as well as a monster prize table for all competitors. This year we will be offering a Night Vision Shooting Course on Friday evening (training fee required, open to US citizens only), which will offer participants a unique opportunity to zero their rifles with PEQ-15 ATPIAL IR laser designators and shoot them with PVS-14 Night Vision Devices. The Match and Night Vision Shooting Course are fundraising events for the CWT, and we appreciate any and all the support we can get. Thank you for your interest in the Match!
