The range is on the north edge of Phoenix.  In July.

A high noon start would be peachy.

Quick update for the match.

A new flyer and Facebook event page will be up soon.

There will be 4 Divisions

Limited
Tactical
Open
TROOPER

Minimum of 5 people per division for the division to be recognized at the match.  

There will be 5 stages of fire.  Minimum round count of 100rounds.  I suggest you bring at least 200rds of ammo, or plan to shoot like a boss with zero misses.

Water will be available at all stages.
Lunch is being provided at the end of the match.
We will have dedicated RO staff on each stage.

Get signed up soon!

All,

This match is shaping up to be a real "shooters" match.
Stages are designed around minimal reset down time and
to be smooth running.

We've added the common classes to open it up to guys that didn't want to play Trooper.

Look forward to seeing you out there!

Dumb question: have you guys ever had one of these events, and if so, approximately what time did it end? Like I said, dumb question, but I'm wondering if I could do this and even have a chance of making it home for fireworks. I used to always have to work early on the 5th, so taking my daughter to see them isn't something I was always able to do...

Is this like the Rio matches in terms of rifle calibers only? I'd really like to run my Scorpion Evo 3 SBR but I want to work within the rules of the match.

The ones I've been to at Rio ALWAYS ran long. I'm confident Glen and crew will run this program well though and if they say done by 1, it will be in that timeframe.

We will be shooting out to 400yds.  PCC is not the best choice, but is allowed.

Understood. I have a history of using a different gun each year and I'd like to keep that going. I have no illusions of winning and I'm out to have some fun.

I say go for it.  Come out, make sure the RO's and your squad mom know you are new.  They will help you along the way.

I will strongly suggest making sure you have a good zero on the rifle, and are using the exact same ammo you zero'd with.  
Beyond that, no AP ammo (NO M855/ss109 allowed).

This match is a lot of fun, and the douche level is low, so everyone will be willing to help you and show you the way. It would be a great intro to competition.

Wrong, I guess you didn't see the part where I signed up.


All joking aside, the AZ Arfcommers I met are not gear queers that look down their noses at you, nor laugh at your abilities.

I know my rifles put together with half new/half used parts are hell to look at, but nobody has ever said a thing...in fact, I even have a rifle with Rizzo's old buttstock on it. Haha.

I myself have never been to one of these matches, and you're going to have a heck of a time making a bigger ass of yourself than I am sure to.

My rifle is ok, it's my skills that are lacking. I should have spent more on training and less on parts, haha.

For our match, full auto will be allowed on all but one stage. All with no penalties applied for usage.

Good luck!


ETA. Maybe just maybe that'll get the Tim out to play

This type of match is the easiest to get into.  Low entry skill required and you are guaranteed to have lots of fun.  5 years ago, this was my first rifle match and I shot it with irons.  I had a blast and I would lay money on the fact you will too.

Normally I run the fun squad every year, but I'll be in charge of a few more things this year so doing the 'pay it forward' will have to fall on someone else. Of course, trades are always welcome at the match! We could also do a large pay it forward area at the match - thoughts?

I would just tell people to bring stuff they no longer want for the optional swap meet at lunch.  I don't have too much stuff as I'm looking through my bins, though.  I will try to get a few things together.  I didn't even participate in picking and the "leftovers" I got were awesome.  Mag holder and a couple of other things.
