ACTS Combat Rifle Championship July 12,13

Folks, take a look at attending this match. I like to liken ACTS matches to " a Pat Rogers class with prizes at the end". In fact many if not most ACTS shooters regularly attend clases with trainers of note from around the country. ACTS began here in Michigan and already has a club in Arizona that has become ACTS sanctioned with others taking a look.

The Third Annual Combat Rifle Championship is near Battle Creek MI, July 12 and 13. Steak dinner the 12th, and the rpize table is shaping up really well.... a case of Balck Hills ammo, a Sabre Defense AR15 top end, lots of magazines, Crimson Trace grips, and much more. I am going to write up the event for SWAT Magazine this time.

Check the website for some Youtube footage from past matches. Very exciting stuff!

Looks like fun, and not to bash anyone, but in that video, there's not a lot of use of cover...by anyone. Too, same for transitioning to the sidearm. Just curious as to how strict the rules are. I'll be there next year.

ETA: I do like the simple rules.

The rules do address cover and staying behind it is enforced in my experience but maybe at that particular match it wasn't....

Doesn't bother me if you don't have to shoot from behind cover/concealment if you're still on the move. Looks like fun and glad there's an Open division.

Sounds like a 3-gun version of IDPA.
