cwt_match Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 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!

rr4406pak Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Looking forward to this match and the night training. By the way, what does the "Leios Akribos Tachus" on your Combat Weapons Team insignia stand for? Latin translators fail to decode these words. Thanks.

Mal223 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Looking forward to this match and the night training. By the way, what does the "Leios Akribos Tachus" on your Combat Weapons Team insignia stand for? Latin translators fail to decode these words. Thanks. Looks Greek to me (Ha Ha) Here is what I found. Leios = Smooth Akribos = Diligently Tachus = Swiftly Maybe one of the CWT guys can clarify. Mal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truegent2004 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I'm curious about this match. It would sure be more fun than spending Easter with family. I can't find any videos from previous years..any help with videos or types of stages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWT USMA Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Hi folks just wanted to advise all interested parties that the CWT web site has been updated. Keep checking the site, as more information will be posted as it be comes available. Hope to see you all on the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teemch5 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Just wondering what the entry fee will be and the start time for the match. Didn't see any of that info on the CWT website. Live in the West Point area and would love to make a day of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cas Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) Should be in the $125 range, this match is a fund raiser for the CWT so you happily write the check. Crying over the ammo is still acceptable. Edited February 11, 2011 by cas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crying over the ammo is still acceptable. 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!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teemch5 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Today is Saturday 2/19/2011 and I was wondering if I missed the application being posted on the CWT site. Was informed it would go up on Friday 2/18/2011 but don't see it. Any updates? Teemch5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

cwt_match Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) 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!

teemch5 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Just checked the website and did not find the application, so I went to the Brian Enos forum and found the links for the applications and waivers. I was able to open them up. I'll download them and and get them out first thing Monday AM. I think I know the answer to my next question but is the fee for the night vision part an additional $150.00 on top of the $125.00 entry fee? My gut tells me it is but I thought I would ask anyway. So if I wanted to do both and get a t-shirt my total cost will be $295.00, correct? Thanks and I'll see you there....Teemch5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teemch5 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Downloaded the forms today and the third form, listed as night vision waiver was just a duplicate of the match entry fee. Is this correct? teemch5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks and I'll see you there....Teemch5 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!

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.
