I went with the 1000 model because I knew I would never utilize the full capacity of the 1600. A friend of mine that lives in Montana has the 1600 and recommended that I get a Leica. He had bought and sold several rangefinders and gave a very solid argument for the CRF 1000 or 1600. Amazon had the best price when I was shopping for mine. I did a good bit of shopping around and did not find any sales or reduced prices. The price on Amazon has gone up since I bought mine. I paid $476 for a refurb model in June. They're now ~$550.

If you truly do believe in by once / cry once, a Leica is the way to go. I have the CRF 1000 and I love it. I've been able to range trees to 1100 yards with my 1000 model. The optics on it are top notch too. I bought mine refurbished off of amazon. Their refurbished models have the same warranty as new models. If mine truly is refurbished, I was unable to tell after a very close inspection once I opened it.

This should help. Single is the one page. Double is the two side-by-side. Quad is the 4 piece one. Single_Arfcom 25 moa all day BFL.pdf Double_Arfcom 25 moa all day BFL.pdf Quad_Arfcom 25 moa all day BFL.pdf

One of my buddies has used a 223 AR for hunting whitetail a pretty good bit. He was very impressed with the performance of 55gr and 62gr soft points.

It should look something like unto this....

I don't have all of them. But, here's most of them. It was another really fun match. I think it is really hard to beat for the price and duration. They always have fun and challenging stages. We were done and on the way home before 5:00.

I haven't talked to Ted to know for sure. But, last year they were around 40 yards at full size IPSC steel. The ones on the stage with the platform will be about that distance. No telling what he'll throw at us in the woods.

I saw where he mentioned that. If he says which one he'll be using, I'll update my file and repost it.

I noticed this weekend that the stages were posted to the MVSA Facebook page. Here they are. 2014_MVSA_Melee_Stages.pdf

8, 9 and 10.

I compiled this earlier this morning. The earlier file did not have stage 4 in it because it was not on the web yet. This file does have stage 4. 2014_FB3G_STAGES.pdf

ETA: See my post below for the PDF with all 10 stages.......

Me too!! I'd love to see the double star and single star from last year make an appearance as shotgun targets.

I ran a quick crunch of numbers between the estimated round count that was posted a few weeks ago and the stages that have been posted thus far. It looks like stage 4 will be heavy on the shotgun if we are going to get close to the previous estimate of 140 rounds of birdshot. It looks like it'll be Rifle / Shotgun. We've got a deficit of 39 rounds birdshot and 11 rounds rifle.

They're not too bad. It's a plate with a small inverted "V" welded on the bottom that is on a stand that is pretty much the same dimensions as the inverted "V". They're very similar to what was used at TXMG. Your IC should cover you for most of them unless they get out to 18 or 20 yards.
