(Results posted) Military style rifle match NC/SC (Steel targets) May 26th

Mods please leave here for max exposure at least for a few days PLEASE!!!!!!!

This will be the 24th match!!!!!!

We will be having the M1 Garand Drop 8 this match so bring your Garand if you have one!!!

I will have an optics class again for the drop eight, with only a first place plaque though as there will probably not be very many shooters using optics.
If you want to shoot in both classes you will only be able to shoot once in each class. Meaning you will only be able to shoot the drop 8 twice total.

It will be Saturday May 26th
Start time is 9:00 am

This will be a 200yd and 300 yd shoot

All Faler's from all states are welcome!

I am looking for sponsors who would like to donate some stuff for prizes


Here is the course of fire

You can shoot with or without a sling, or you can use a bipod, or some kind of front rest (i.e. ammo can, sand bag etc.) No rear rests are allowed.

The targets are 13"X 8" and are set up tall i.e. 13" high 8" wide

Military style rifle match

There will be an Iron sights and optics division for the Drop eight stage, and optics will also be allowed in the 3 man team stage, however there can only be one optic per 3 man team.

Optics will not be allowed for the Sniper stage.

Optics can be used to shoot in the Standing drop 3 but time will not count it will just be for fun, you must shoot Iron sights in standing to be eligible for awards.


Any current or obsolete semi-auto or bolt military style rifle can be used
FAL, G3, M1 Garand , AR 15, M1A/M14, AK, O3A3 etc.
As well as any semi auto civilian gun like a Mini14, Browning BAR or a FN FNAR etc.

The match will consist of 6 separate stages

Stage one (Drop eight)
will consist of
8 steel targets that must be knocked down from 200 yds (targets are 8" x 13")
Fastest time wins
There will be 48 targets so six people can participate before having to reset the targets.
This stage will be shot from 200yds
60 second time limit
Each person will shoot this stage 2 times
(If shooting in both Iron sights and Optics Class you will only shoot once per Class.)


Stage two (Standing)
Will consist of shooting STANDING
3 steel targets that must be knocked down from 200 yds (targets are 8" x 13")
Fastest time wins 45 second time limit
(Optics can be used but will not be eligible for awards)


Stage three (Bolt gun drop 4)
Bolt Gun drop 4 (this stage is optional)
Will consist of shooting 4 steel targets (using a bolt gun) that must be knocked down from 200 yds (targets are 8" x 13")
Fastest time wins 45 second time limit
(No optics)


Stage three (B) (this stage is optional)
M1 Garand Drop 8
will consist of
8 steel targets that must be knocked down from 200 yds (targets are 8" x 13")
Fastest time wins
60 second time limit


Stage Four (3 man team)
Will consist of a three man team
Shooting 24 steel targets at 200 yds (targets are 8" x 13")
Fastest time wins
(One member per team can use optics)

Stage five (Sniper)

I AM BRINGING BACK THE CHOICE OF ONE SIGHTER SHOT FOR SNIPER THIS MATCH.
YOU CAN SHOOT ONE SIGHTER SHOT THAT DOESN'T COUNT IF YOU SO CHOOSE. YOU MUST DECLARE BEFORE YOU SHOOT IF IT IS A SIGHTER OR IF IT IS FOR RECORD.

Will consist of
One steel target to be knocked down at 300 yds (target is 8" x 13")
Only one shot allowed
This is an elimination round miss and your out! Hit and you move to the next round.
(No optics)


You'll probably need 100 rds but bring at least 150 to be safe.


$20 entry fee for non members and $10 fee for CRPC members

BRING YOUR OWN LUNCH AND DRINKS!!!!!
There are cold drinks in the clubhouse for $.50

Dang, I might have to try to come to this one. Can you use the same rifle with and without optics for the stages? I have a M1A that needs some "love'n/range time".
Is there a place to camp nearby?

Sure you can use the same rifle, plenty of hotels to camp nearby but not sure about actual camp sights.

Need you to work your magic on my back again! the next day I had zero back pain, at least for a day, first time in years!
Have to get you to show/tell me what you did so I can pass on the info to my personal masseuse

Also since everyone has improved so much what does everyone think about changing the time limit from 60 seconds to 45 seconds on the drop 8?

Remember too, anyone who shoots under 10 seconds in the Drop eight (iron sights only) will get the awesome Military rifle match Challenge coin!!!!

WP, you should do a detailed explanation on the design of the coin and explain all the cool symbolisms like the 10 stars and etc.
