mhearn Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Stage 1: Engage the nine long range flash targets from the bridge with no part of you or your equipment touching anything accept the bridge platform. O.K. Swinging bridge. Long range targets. Am I missing something? I suspect I will be missing a lot. MHearn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbrowndog Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 maybe they aren't as LR as you might think???? I know DH and RJ got a good look at how difficult or challenging mid range targets from positions other than prone could be during the ERC. movement with a target 150 to 200yds would be a great challenge, and something that is easy to test at a match.???????????? trapr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1chota Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 (edited) Check out stage 2 it got updated a little bit... updated a little????that's an understatement! 25 seconds was short enough! now we got to scoot and shoot through all 3 boxes in 22 seconds! I thought smoking crack was against Army policy. FMTT and call me a cry baby! oh, well, i will give it a go. 1cgita Edited November 6, 2009 by 1chota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Horner Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 (edited) Hey everyone, I've gotten a bunch of questions about the distance to the LR targets, and, honestly, I'm not sure... It will be reasonable though. Good luck!! -DH Edited November 6, 2009 by Daniel Horner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recon215 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 LOL Daniel, Reasonable to who from a moving bridge? Any idea on the Larue slug target distances? Oh joy, a shotgun speed shoot stage!!! Practice loading when.....Guess it starts tomorrow if/when I can squeeze it into an already hectic schedule. Don't get me wrong, this IS the match of the year imho! Keep up the great works guys/girls! See you in a couple weeks. Hey everyone,I've gotten a bunch of questions about the distance to the LR targets, and, honestly, I'm not sure...

3gunr Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Are the scoring rules the same as last year....2 A hits for Tac ops and open, and 1 A hit for Heay metal?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LChico Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Are the scoring rules the same as last year....2 A hits for Tac ops and open, and 1 A hit for Heay metal?? Actually, 2 hits required on paper for Tact Optics, Tact Irons, Open & Trooper. The one A hit on paper is an option for heavy metal. The down side is that the single hit HAS to be an A - Heavy Metal shooters need to be able to call their hits. If the single hit is in the C zone, it scores as 0.5 sec down for the C, plus the 5 sec for the miss. If you are registered for the match, the confirmation email should have pointed out that the match rules are posted on the website FB3G Rules Linda Chico (L-2035) 2009 Ft Benning 3 Gun Statistician Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swinging bridge. Long range targets. Am I missing something? I suspect I will be missing a lot. MHearn I don't see anything in the COF that says that its a swinging bridge. It may be that it is a very stable platform for offhand shooting......with big easy to see targets freshly painted in brown and gray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShooterSteve Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Hey at least Ya'll get to shoot from that stupid swinging bridge. I'll be at home celebrating our anniversary. Oh fun. Can't wait. I'll be back with a vengance next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springy Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I don't see anything in the COF that says that its a swinging bridge. It may be that it is a very stable platform for offhand shooting......with big easy to see targets freshly painted in brown and gray. On my compooter, the website is incredible. On the stages, if you click for the BIG picture, there is a lot more detail to the stage. And on the big picture, this is not our old friend the swinging bridge. I mean, on stage 2, you can even see the cotter pins on the poppers!! BUT, it shows a flat bridge, so why all the warnings about not touching any of the supports? I guess we'll get all our answers in about 27 wakeups.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMAC Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 No matter how much I practice shotgun reloading, transitions, shooting while moving, etc. I am very confident that I will still choke under the pressure. I guess I will just make sure I know my zeros and try to have fun amidst the humiliation and defeat! Who knows, maybe I won't fall of the bridge and maybe I won't drop any shells on the shotgun speed stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Bond Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I have been putting too much bleach on my hair...what is a swiss seat?Cheryl Its more commonly known as a climbing harness (rock/alpine climbers use variations of em) As birdo states it is used as part of clmbing but in the army it is more commonly used for a rappel out of a hellcopter (there is a hint there folks if anyone from AMU is monitoring this). While most people today use a prepared harness, the term "swiss seat" is a manner in which you can take a length of rope and tie it in such a way that you have a harness to use inlieu of a commercially produced climbing harness.

I started climbing in the early seventies and all we wore was 10 feet of 2 inch tubular webbing (a swami) tied around our waist. Of course that would be 15 feet now. -mike- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
