Blueridge Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I sent my application in Tuesday, and am now working in more time in my schedule for practicing with my rifle. Now to find some rifle matches so that I can get in some "on the clock" time. It will be an experience that is for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt1 Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 Everyone's back from SHOT and I've been able to speak to several of the sponsor representatives this week. Here are some of the folks who's fine products will be on the prize table this year: Sabre Defence Bushmaster DPMS Brownell's Magpul S&W Many more pending. Further updates as conditions warrant. The stages are shaping up nicely as well. There'll be many fun and unique challenges with the carbine this year! See you in May. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWF Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 David, i am toying with the idea of building a 2nd gun for a different division. would it be possible to shoot a 2nd gun in the match? i would want it to be for score but no trophy, this is a non issue. unless everyone else was DQed! would like the 2nd shirt but only one crack at the prize table is fine with me. thanks Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will only be able to shoot the match one time in a day so you'd need to plan on a second day. If we're full on both days as we were last year, I'd hesitate to let someone shoot twice and prevent someone from shooting altogether. Hopefully that makes sense. I suggest signing up for the main day with the main gun you want to shoot and we'll see how crowded things are closer to time. You can get an extra shirt in addition to the one that comes with registration for $10. Let me know when you send in your registration. Hope that helps.

3gunner Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Hey Dave, you still need me to RO? Or can I just shoot and watch? Not sure about Brent And Tony, I will fill you in later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I'll definitely need your help Lenard, sounds like more than ever! Thanks for the update. I've been out of town for work the past two weeks. I'll post a sponsor and registration update in a few days. It looks like Sunday is filling up pretty fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt1 Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 Just sent e-mail confirmations for all the entries that have been received over the past 3 weeks. Sorry for the delay, I've been out of town for work. Both days are a bit over half full. Several more sponsors confirmed. Big fun ahead in May.

Blueridge Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I look forward to the match and hope that the weather is good for it. I am trying to get as much practice in with my rifle to at least make a good showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk4 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) Is the prize table pretty much the same for Saturday and Sunday? Is this match worth a 7.5 hr drive? I see on the match application the prize table is by order of finish and/or drawing. Can someone explain this, and if it is by order of finish will the prize table be Sunday only?

RWF Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) last year the prize table was ramdom and held each day for the shooters of that day. which was nice because you only shoot one day so i shot saturday and stayed for the random prize table and left on my 4 hour drive home. if you think you will be one of the top shooters in your division then shoot on Sunday to get your trophy. for the group i shoot with it is very much worth the drive each time they any rifle match!

dt1 Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 Quick update on registration etc. There are about 20ish spots still available for Saturday. I got a bunch of applications this past week and suspect Sat will fill up shortly. If you want to shoot Saturday, don't wait too much longer to get your apps in. Sunday is looking a little better with slightly more than 30 spots still available. Lots of sponsors are sending nice things for us to give away and we are VERY appreciative of their support. Details will be communicated to registered shooters. It will be a great weekend of carbine shooting! DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gb32 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I'm driving over 7 hours to be there and I wouldn't care if they gave out prizes or not(not that I'll give anything back that I happen to win). Great match with a great group of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2alphas Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Great folks that understand how to present a challenging yet shootable match, great facility. Not a finer group of gun folk to be found. Should be on the 'must shoot list' of matches. TC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dt1 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 Saturday is now full. I will start a waiting list if you want to shoot the match on Saturday. There is still availability on Sunday. Thanks, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt1 Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) The match is now full on both Saturday and Sunday. A waiting list is in place both days for those still wanting to shoot. Please send in your application and match fee. I won't process your check until your spot clears. Details regarding the prize table etc will be e-mailed out to the registered shooters soon. Thanks to everyone for your interest in the match, it will be a fun time! Looking forward to seeing everyone in May!

tk4 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Is there an address to the range that I can plug into my GPS? Also, I was looking at the scoring method and wondering if any of the top shooters opt to shoot only one shot at each target? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt1 Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 Directions to the range may be found on the Steel City website, specifically on this page: http://www.scssa.org/club_profile.htm Regarding target engagement, most people shooting "tactcial division" (223) shoot twice at the paper targets and heavy metal (308) folks shoot once. If you shoot once (accurately) at each target you can negotiate any of the stages with one 20rnd magazine with any rifle. Not many 223 shooters opt to do that. The stages will have a nice balance of both wide open and challenging shots. Longest shots will be out to around 280-300yds. It will be helpful to know exactly where your rifle hits from up close to 150yds. There'll be lots of stuff you're use to seeing at the match plus a few new twists.

springy Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Hey! Didn't I read somewhere that this was supposed to be a "FUN" match? 5 little targets, aiming, 5 targets with only 5 rounds??? I thought this was all about looking "cool" with lots of gizmo's on your rifle... c-ya in Saturday next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRider Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 If you liked that you'll love whats in store for this year. What, do we just throw our ammunition in the garbage can at the buzzer and then throw rocks at the plates? Hurley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
