SinistralRifleman Posted September 28, 2004 Author Share Posted September 28, 2004 We are adding a new class to this match: Trooper Class The goals of this class are to encourage shooters to use field practical equipment that is reliable in adverse conditions and add an element of physical endurance to the competition not found in other classes. Rules: 1) The shooter must transport all their firearms, ammunition, equipment, and cleaning supplies with them for the duration of the match from the moment they sign in the first day of shooting. 2) The amount of ammunition the shooter begins the match with, is all they are allowed to use for the duration of the match. The shooter may have as much ammunition in their pack, vest, or ammunition carriers as he/she wishes. 3) Any back up guns the shooter may wish to use should their primary firearm become inoperable during the course of the match must be carried with them for the duration of the match 4) The equipment must be carried via any man portable means and in a safe manner. No wagons, wheel barrows, carts, sleds, etc allowed. 5) The shooter does not need to carry all this equipment during the course of fire, they may ground their rucksack and use only the equipment on their person if they wish. 6) Trooper class shooters must start with at least one liter of water on their person or in their rucksack. Additional Water will be provided at all stages. The shooter must carry any beverages other than water themselves. 7) Lunch will be provided for all Trooper Class shooters on the range.

Failure to follow these rules or voluntarily choosing to drop out of Trooper Class will place the shooter in any of the other classes determined by the firearms and accessories they are using Medical assistance for cuts, scrapes, insect/snake bites, or any other foreseeable physical ailment can be treated by another individual without bumping the shooter out of Trooper Class. Firearms: 1) Trooper Class shooters may use firearms from any of the other specified classes. A Trooper class shooter may use all iron-sighted guns, or open class guns, however they must be able to transport any firearms (and spares) without assistance from stage to stage by themselves. 2) There is no limit on magazine capacity, bipods, scopes, etc in Trooper Class. 3) If a shooter decides to carry more than one firearm, spare upper receiver, optics, etc they may elect to use them on a stage as they see fit. Sniper Rifles may only be used on rifle targets, sub machine guns may only be used on rifle and pistol targets. Changing long guns in the middle of the stage is disallowed. If the shooter elects to use a sniper rifle they must use it for the full course of fire, if they elect to use a subgun they must use it for the full course of fire, if they elect to use a .223 carbine and 9mm pistol they must use it for the full course of fire. 4) Firearms are the only items the shooter may remove from the range at the end of the day.

SinistralRifleman Posted October 21, 2004 Author Share Posted October 21, 2004 The scoring system for this match will be International Multigun...1 A Zone or two hits on paper to neutralized. We decided to change from the original Tiger Valley scoring method to make things easier for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiggerJJ Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Am I reading the rules and stuff correctly and not seeing a "tactical" category, ie; all limited guns EXCEPT for a single optic on the rifle??? Thanks! jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Smith Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 JJ, I believe that's affirmative. Limited or Open. -z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limited (all iron sights), Open (optics/anything goes), and Trooper (see rules in this thread) are the categories at this match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinistralRifleman Posted November 3, 2004 Author Share Posted November 3, 2004 I spoke with Shawn about it today, tek-loaders are allowed in Open and Trooper class. They are not allow in Limited/Irong sight class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garryowen Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Guys, Here is the ugly truth about this match. It’s our first match and surprise surprise, there is a lot more to it then we thought. We have some very challenging (and I think very fun) stages (9 of them) and we are trying to keep them realistic as well and lots of shooting. To make up for quirks we have this first year, we are basically paying you to come. Every paid shooter will get a minimum of $175.00 worth of prizes from $20,000.00 worth of stuff on the prize table, so for a $150.00 entree, that ain’t bad… This first year (as with any match) is a work in progress, but we hope to make it into a match people will talk about and add to there shooting calendars every year.

Zak Smith Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Are the published round counts still realistic? 400 pistol 150 shotshells (how many slugs or 00 Buck required?) 450 rifle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpowe Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 What is the highest shotgun stage round count? Do I need to scrounge up more bandoleers/speedloaders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinistralRifleman Posted November 4, 2004 Author Share Posted November 4, 2004 Are the published round counts still realistic?400 pistol 150 shotshells (how many slugs or 00 Buck required?) 450 rifle yes, but I always bring 50% more than the listed round count to these things anyway.

SinistralRifleman Posted November 4, 2004 Author Share Posted November 4, 2004 What is the highest shotgun stage round count? Do I need to scrounge up more bandoleers/speedloaders? They're still working on stage designs and setting things up. The highest I know of currently would require 30 shells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
