I seen the sign up along the highway for the shoot as we were heading north out of town to Mingo for my daughters soccer game on Sunday...surprised I was even awake enough to see it. Sounds like everyone had a good time!

the song doesnt fit, and its a pretty ruff edit...but this gets the idea across.
notice the major difference in audio/video between Contour and cell phone, its terrible 
im going to work on chopping up video from the combat shoot... it should be better. |

Ok Well the video convinced me! Once i get a couple hundred rounds through my new scope and once I get a few more add-ons(trigger, cheek pad, scope mount) I'll be to one of these this summer for sure!!!

I've got the rifle in the safe, the scope is being delivered and I'm hunting for some rings.
Does anyone know where I can find some decent 30mm rings locally around the Des Moines area?
Also, what types of ranges (100 yard..etc..) and size targets are we dealing with here? Thanks! |

^^^^Ranges from 50-200, i think most of the targets ended up around 2moa, the biggest being 4in. at 200 yards... the COF was quite challenging last time.^^^^
I look forward to shooting terrible again, and having a fun time. Ordered my scope today, hopefully i can shoot once or twice with it before the match. |

I have half a mind to run my AUG in this just for S&G's. It will shoot 2MOA when you have a perfectly steady position, and most of those improvised positions are not that. Would be fun to see what the other shooters are running.

We bought some larger steel, 7×12 to use for the 200 yd in the combat course as that seemed to be a tough one the last match. Other wise the largest will be a 5 in round, but most of those are used for the combat course, we're trying to keep the sniper course targets moa.

I went to the range this morning. It shoots sub-MOA so I should no excuses on the 1st.
It's a Remington 24" 5R in .308 topped with a Leopold M3. Next plan is a detachable mag conversion for sure. It's difficult loading a short action with .308 round. Then get 4" chopped off of the rifle.
This thread made me buy all this stuff and put it together.

Anyways, the course was set up well, and I got to verify some tactical skills, including the low crawl. Prizes were very, very nice. I hope more people show up next time around. |

Hi all, well as bettendorf said it was HOT! We had one competitor take himself out for mild heat exhaustion, but other than that things went smooth. A big thanks to the guys who did show up despite the heat and everyone that helped with target resets and teardown, all help is greatly appreciated. We hope we can continue to provide a safe, challenging event for everyone. Bill
