springy Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 As I have been told, WE have enough to make HM iron. It's been a long, long time since I've seen 308's splashing in the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrysuperhawk Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I don't know, I've never brought anything but the 308 to the Ozarks, it's just been kind of lonely in the heavy classes lately...

Jesse Tischauser Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) We are updating the rules and had a quick question for the Heavy Optics/Irons shooters and heavy shooters only. We are wondering if the Heavy Optics shooters want to go with one Charlie or better or even one hit anywhere with the rifle to neutralize. For Heavy Irons do you want one Charlie or better or one even one hit anywhere to neutralize rifle and pistol paper. We want this match to be what the shooters want not what we think you want.

sschultz Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 At tooth and nail they went with one hit anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggerJJ Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I had to drop from this match because we are moving that weekend, but my comment is that changing the rules 2 weeks before the match is bad form. Change them ONLY before signup so shooters can check them out before sending in their money. jmho My personal opinion on the question of HM big guns scoring is I would rather see scoring on paper stay the same, 1 Alpha or 2 anywhere, to reward accuracy. That being said, I MIGHT be convinced to allowing 1 Charlie to neutralize (I said MIGHT be), but definately not 1 anywhere. Just to put it in perspective, I also could be convinced to have 1 Alpha or 2 Charlies, Ds don't count... jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Tischauser Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Please folks we only need comments from people that are shooting heavy metal in this match. This isn't a debate. We are asking what they want to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrysuperhawk Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 As the resident heavy metal shooter, I would be okay with allowing a single Charlie hit to neutralize a heavy target. The only issue I see is that as an RO that would require us to be extra careful when scoring, because on a lot of stages, shooters are going around pasting at the same time as scoring. It's not an insurmountable problem but it is something that needs to be considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springy Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I have to shoot pistol sans corrected vision, and never know what my hits on paper are till I walk up to the target. For me, 1 hit anywhere on paper is a blessing. 3 Gun Nation club matches are a hoot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigLucky Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I think that since we get to shoot our 9mm in Heavy optics that I could live with 1 A/B or 2 anywhere, but 1 A/B/C isn't too bad either.. might push people to make a mistake trying to be faster.

Gunnar Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) What is the range like at this location? Can you get around in cars or is truck type recommended? Also, is it carts friendly or drive from stage to stage? Thank you. Edited August 31, 2015 by Gunnar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be within 20-40 yards from every stage with your vehicle. I would not bring a cart personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Tischauser Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Don't forget that you will need a rifle slung this year. Gold Match Sponsor Optics Planet sells everything you need to get your rifle slung up. http://www.opticsplanet.com/511-vtac-2-point-sling.html http://www.opticsplanet.com/s/qd-sling-swivel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were just thinking one C or better fit the big bullets like .308 & .45. But it's the shooters call. Feel free to email any of us with your suggestions.

Jesse Tischauser Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Just a heads up we will have the final round count and stages out early next week. You will need 10 rounds of buckshot, 7 slug, and a rifle sling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike41 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 How many total stages? Will there be a pre-registration where we have to sign the day before? If so where and times? If I get there late Thursday afternoon (5pm), could I drive to the range and see the stages? Squading? I am guessing all this information will be posted by the weekend? Sorry for so many questions but I have a busy week ahead and I am preparing as I have time. Looking forward to the match! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Schmitt Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I have not seen it yet with 1 pistol hit, I have seen 1 rifle hit as the 308 is a devistating hit in most cases and we adopted that as well but still require 2 pistol hits with 45.

J.Schmitt Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I guess I realy don't rate as I don't shoot heavy. Sorry for poking my head into this. I do want to see what happens and what the shooters choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do want to see what happens and what the shooters choose. My apologies. I didn't mean to come off harsh. I thought you might be slinging the big bullets. Sandra emailed all of the Heavy competitors and we have heard back from several. I'm gonna dust off the heavy gear if I can find it but I didn't want to make the rule change based off of my opinions cause I don't shoot heavy regularly. Thus far it sounds like most Heavy shooters agree. We will let everyone know ASAP if we make a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chargerarms Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Who's ready for the lake stage? Only if I can fart in the lake. The bubbles stink more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrysuperhawk Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 You are only allowed to fart in the lake, if you fall in. And it's on video otherwise it's a procedural for each bubble. Somebody posted the video from last year of a certain person falling in the drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Tischauser Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 I too the drawings Chad sent me and put them on paper last night. The stages are much bigger and badder then last year. Hope to have them posted today. You are only allowed to fart in the lake, if you fall in. And it's on video otherwise it's a procedural for each bubble.
