First of all, thanks to everyone who came out and supported us in 2011. We had a great shooting year, and it was all because of the great folks who came out and did their best.

We've never done a two gun match before, so to kick the rifle shooting season off properly, we're going to do just that.

The Course of Fire will include stages that are purely Precision, purely Carbine, and also multigun (stage fired with BOTH rifles).

Distances for carbine will be from 3 feet out to 400Y. Distances with precision rifle will be 200 to 600+.

Round counts are not determined, but the ultimate max will not be greater than 100 rounds carbine and 60 rounds precision.

Match fee is $30 guests and $20 NHRPC members. We prefer a check written directly to the club for match fee.

I'm also reaching out in the registration form for some suggestions in terms of our course of fire, match formats, etc. If you can't attend but still want to send me some ideas on the side, please do.

Thanks, and see you on the firing line!

I'm in for this, looking forward to 400 yard shots.

One question though; Does a hooded .04 aperture on my carbine qualify as a precision rifle?

I don't know what that is. I was never issued such a thing. But if you can hit with it I'm not opposed. We lean toward permitting rather than forbidding. You're not getting 22 minutes to fire 10 shots though.

The Course of Fire has been approved.

Subject to change based on range or target availability.

The Range Run stage looks almost too easy, I would have expected you would make us at least shoot it weak sided and/or without a bipod.

If possible, I'm also very interested in trying as much as I can of the Cof with Iron Sights. My beliefs forbid the use of optics.

Range Run:
Two pass mover starts as a timer. Hit all steel (the 200 and all IDPA) from 200 to 400Y with carbine. Switch to precision and hit the small steel at 400Y, 500Y, the small steel at 600Y, and then finish up on the mover. Must have 600Y dope on the precision rifle the whole time, and hold under when required. One gun fires the exercise as far out as they can hit, and back down..


If you're calling this an easy stage, I'm going to have to pay attention and learn how it's done!

I have no problem with someone using irons. I respect that. But there is no quarter whatsoever given in regard to safety rules - you have to be competent enough with them to put rounds in the impact berm EVERY TIME.

This is by far the most important requirement of any activity at the club. I am glad to hear that this is emphasized.

Freddy can you confirm the round count for both precision and carbine? I'm counting 47 for precision and 50 for carbine, does that check?

55 carbine, but for those shooting only one gun, bring almost double the ammo just in case.

More shooting means more fun!

Freddy I hope you run more matches like this; the use of carbine and precision in the same match is a great idea and helps to exercise both skill sets. I can see a Bin Laden or Mog Mile type carbine match coupled with long range precision sniping as a possibility.

I'm partially kidding, there's no way in Wisconsin I could hit a moving pie plate at 600 yards, but I did attempt a 600 yard high power match once with the 16" barrel and did poorly well.

After some shots one of the sympathetic spotters told me I was hitting center at the very bottom of the board - about 4 moa low. I was out of elevation on the rear sight so I held over for the remainder of shots and managed a low hundred something with 1X . I had to complete cover the 5 ring area with the front post just at the top of the board. By no definition good, but not bad considering.

It's emphasized in the safety briefing, but it's ENFORCED on the firing line. You and I both know that short rounds happen in any sport. It might not even be the fault of the shooter (ammo or case separation issue). Therefore there is one warning given, and if it happens again the shooter is done.

The way our sport works, it's one or two shooters at a time except for precision slow fire, so it is very easy to see where the impacts are. Precision slow fire is always at the end of the match, and at that time everyone has demonstrated control over their trajectory under observation of close to a dozen NRA certified RSO's at each distance we shoot.

Not too damn bad bro. I've seen you shoot very well with irons and even jump ahead of people with optics. For that kind of shooting you need specialized gear and sights. It's not a sport you can waltz into with a working gun or a rack grade rifle. Nevertheless, I admire the try.

I'll bring enough for both. I'm just happy I was able to get to the range today to spend some quality time with my Rem 700.

Scores are up!

Congrats to Sean, and thanks for everyone who came out to support the club. We had a great but very cold day at 22 degrees. Some people's scores are unreported, hence the question marks.
