Also I have spoken with Ben several times about this match. They are not throwing out many limitations on the match... The main thing is no ammo to crater the steel, be safe, and have fun!
This might be a little bit of a filler for a HTF shoot for now...

Well guys looks like your all going to bave to bear me out for it! I went and shot at the ikes yesterday. It was a perfect day! The temp was perfect the wind was dead and i was attempting to sight in my scope... i never made it to the big boys range before it was time to gobut had a grate time! I need to get some powder and heavier bullets and start working up target loads this summer. Any hints on what bullet to try? 14.5" barrel 1:7 twist. 300 yd max

Good time today! Rob and I were duking it out for last place in the Optics division. I had Rob beat after the last stage!
First time I have ever really shot at 300 yards. I had to leave before the party ended because of some plans with the family kind of bummed I didn't get a chance to ping the steel. I think they had around 35 shooters. I hope to make it back in May and I am becoming a member in the near future.
Just a FYI They are talking about doing two shooting times (9am and 12pm) for the May date to help make it shorter day for the shooters. They are also talking about to preregister though e-mail. I will pass on updates as they come up from NFOA and the Ikes. |

Last I heard it was 48 shooters I think. I didn't get there early enough but did go watch, then hit the open range time after about 2:30.
Nice to see that many local black rifles. I think I only saw a handful of guns without optics. Might have to rearrange my uppers/optics for the next one.. |

I got the score sheet last night 37 names on the list and I know of at least 3 shooters that shot 2 guns. All and all a great way to spend a Monday!
Congrats to Alemonkey for taking 1st with a 279. I was in the way bottom of the bucket...

I wish I could make this next one but that's my anniversary and the wife thinks we need to do something together for some reason. I offered to let her shoot one of my AR's but she was not amused.
I would really like to shoot irons if they have another one after the May match. My RRA National Match A2 upper is stupidly accurate. If it had a rail to mount optics it would blow away the rifle I used in the last match. |

Peeps are cheap... just went out of season...
I am not sure if I am going to make it to the next shoot... I am going to GI Friday for the Carbine Shoot.. Long Trip for a evening of shooting but should be a lot of fun! I think we have open seats if anyone wants to take along? |

The only difference is they are going to shoot only 200y and they are going to shoot chickens instead of rams. They are hoping that not having to tear down and set up the targets will save time. I don't think that I am going to make this shoot. I am planning a trip out to GI for there carbine shoot on June 6ths and I have to use my porch passes wisely .

So everything is shot at 200? Are they doing open shooting afterwards for members?

Yes all stages will be shot at 200yards. I am not sure if they will have the range open after the match. I think they did last time. I am not going to make it out this time. I am hoping to make it to the June match.

This a e-mail that I got from one of the match organizers.....
Shooters,
Tomorrow is the 2nd Black Rifle Challenge at the Lincoln Izaak Walton Club. Same time frame as before with a few changes that we hope will make the event go faster. But first and always: Safety! Remember to keep your finger off the trigger until you are right on target, and then score a 10X! Here are the changes for round 2: 1. We will be shooting all paper at 200 yards so we don't have to take down target holders. 2. Steel Chickens will be shot instead of Pigs. They are smaller but will fall over even with 55gr bullets. The Ikes have let us sign up a 3rd BRC date which will be held June 22nd. The idea right now is to shoot all paper at 300 and incorporate shooter feedback to improve the event. See everyone tomorrow. Come early and get your zero. Last time we didn't get started right at 10 AM due to sluggish sighters. That should be a goal tomorrow So yes they will have a sight in and I would recommend getting there early if you want to shoot before the match. I showed up at 8:50 and the line was out of the building didn't take long to get through but by the time I did they already had all the lanes filled up with shooters and had to wait. I probably would have gone if I didn't pull my scope a couple weeks ago and put a red dot to go to GI to shoot in the carbine shoot. I plan to hit that in June and I don't want to lose the crappy zero I have on it

dont know if this is the place to be spitballing ideas, but i would like to see a low power scoped division added to next shoot. maybe like an iron sight division, a 0x to 3x power optic, and maybe a 4x power optic and up option???
just a thought i had on my way home....

This. I wasn't able to make it today but was thinking the same thing. Guys with eotechs, aim points can't stand a chance vs guys with 6-24x scoped 308's especially when one event is knocking down steel with zero points for hits that don't drop the target. |

This thread isn't really monitored by anyone that has a say in the match that I know of. I have no real affiliations with the match besides that fact that I know one of the match organizers. The best thing to do is either post your thoughts on the NFOA thread that he is posting updates in NFOA THREAD, If your not a member JOIN UP or you can send Ben a e-mail if you have been receiving the match results. I know they are looking at input and are willing to listen to anything you have to say. Are they putting the unmagnified redots in the iron sight divisions? to me that only seems fair.

i dont think i have seen anyone shoot just a red dot yet. if it were classified as iron sights i would totally take my magnifyer off and just shoot with my eotech!!!
and yes i think i will respond to ben's email and see what his thoughts are of adding a low power division. i know that if they do it would attract a lot more of the younger crowd like myself who only have red dots or eotechs. |

How old is the younger crowd? "TO ME" it should be magnified and unmagnified to keep it simple does a person really have a advantage shooting a red dot over Irons? |

dont know, but last sunday i was the youngest by prob at least 10 years. im talkin late teens early 20's crowd. i know three other people that say they would have gone but didn't want to shoot against scopes since all they have are red dots for optics.
also ive noticed that its all ar15's for the "black rifle" but i know a guy with an ACR and other with a "tacticool" SKS that said they would go if it wasn't just for ar15's |

I personally would much rather use a high quality set of iron sights for precision shooting than a red dot. National Match sights on an AR don't give up much to a scope. The big advantage a red dot has over irons is speed, which isn't a factor in this game.

I know they were open to HK's so I don't see why a ACR would be any different SKS might be stretching it but who knows. As far as the age thing... Some of it is advertising. There are a lot of 20ish people with AR's but are not members of the IKES, arfcom, or NFOA. They do not shoot competitively and there AR is for the zombie apocalypse or shooting beer cans at 30yards. Its culture thing us youngins are cheap and don't see the point of going out and having to shoot targets in a certain way. They want to go blast though 100 rounds and giggle about it later. |

Eh I did alright, got the highest benchrest which was fairly surprising considering I saw someone with a .308 send every single bullet through the same hole during sight in.
I need to put a little more importance on those chickens, they count for a lot in the total. |
