cwt_match Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 The USMA Combat Weapons Team (CWT) is proud to announce that the 5th Annual Houghton Memorial 2-Gun Challenge will be held at West Point on March 31-April 1 (Saturday & Sunday, 1 day format, Pistol/Rifle). For information on Captain Andrew Houghton and his charitable foundation, please visit www.andyhoughton.org. For information on the CWT, please visit www.combatweaponsteam.com. Details on the Match and registration will be posted in late January as we work out details with Range Control. What you can expect is another challenging competition that will test shooter and equipment, as well as a monster prize table for all competitors. We hope to bring back the sold-out Night Vision Shooting Course (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 fund-raising events for the CWT, and we appreciate any and all the support we can get. Thank you for your interest in the Match!

teemch5 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hey guys Any update as to when the match applications will be out? Have about 4 guys interested in shooting this worthwhile match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwt_match Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Hey guys Any update as to when the match applications will be out? Have about 4 guys interested in shooting this worthwhile match. Hang in there! We've been working on the application this past week. At issue is the NVG shoot... unfortunately we are running into some possible issues and may not be able to hold the NVG shoot this year, which in turn affects the application. Last year's participants will receive the application via email first, and we'll post it online around 48-72 hours later. Thanks for your patience! cwt_match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rundownfid Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I am really looking forward to this match, as I've always meant to get to West Point. Any good tips on historical sites, museums, historical houses, restaurants, etc, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cas Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) I'm trying to figure out how to shoot the match and not spend the night in New York or drive through NJ. Because of where you're going and what you're doing, the handgun thing, normally the tricky part, is okay. The law says you have within 48 hours of the event. There are however no competition exemption clauses for the AWB. (the evil features on your post ban AR and your post ban "high" caps) That said, no one's going to bother you AT the match. So… don't speed too much. (if you don't speed at all you'll stand out like a sore thumb) Edited February 4, 2012 by cas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMoosie Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) How do I get an application for this match? I've emailed the match address a couple of times and haven't got a response. What's the best address to contact? The link to the website at the top of the thread takes you to 2011's match details.

cwt_match Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 We're expecting the applications to be up on the team website tomorrow morning- everything has to go through West Point's webmaster. We'll announce it here when its up. Thanks for your patience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Weidhaas Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Didn't see the match rules on the web page. Are you allowing one non magnified optic like an Aimpoint or Eotech on the limited division rifles or is it iron sights only? Thanks- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwt_match Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Folks, the apps and waivers are up here. Click on the "5th Annual Houghton 2-Gun Challenge" at the top of the page. Match rules will be posted in a few weeks, but I don't expect much deviation from last year. We may be retaining our Iron-Sights Only for Limited this year, and discuss the change for next year. Thanks for your interest guys! Get those apps and waivers in!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Diss Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 App's in the mail. Looking forward to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
