This is intended to be the primary thread for all Q&A for the event.
Cabin Fever Winter Games
Sun Feb 9
Tusco Rifle Club, near New Philadelphia, Ohio
Open to all C&R bolt action rifles and Kalashnikovs
There will be 1 or 2 five minute sight-in periods on the actual range/targets around 10am. First relay is expected at 10:30 am. Two or three relays are expected, depending on interest/turnout. 200 yard, 3 position timed shooting at the NRA SR42 target.
Stage 1: 10 shots, 10 minutes, offhand
Stage 2: 10 shots, kneeling or sitting, start from standing, 90 seconds, This second stage requires one mag change for Kalashnikovs (any combo adding up to 10 shots firing from both mags)
Stage 3: 10 shots, prone, 5 minutes, start from standing, ‘hi-cap mag monopods’ are allowed (the mag you are shooting with may be used as a rest).
Each shooter scores their neighbor’s target, then scores are verified by the shooter and targets repaired. Shots breaking the line are scored on the next highest score. X rings are scored as 10, but should show as X for any tie breakers.
Aftermarket stocks and triggers are allowed in all classes, unless it affects the position of any iron sights used (such as the poly stock available for 8mm Mausers). Sling use is open choice.
C&R Bolt Action class:
Any C&R bolt gun is allowed. Original iron sights, and apertures (such as Mojo models) in the original rear sight leaf position are allowed. Aftermarket micrometer adjusted diopters are not allowed. Stripper clips are recommended.
Kalashnikov class: Any AK type gun from any manufacturer, including 5.45, 5.56, .308, 7.62x54r and 7.62x39 calibers. I expect this class to be split into 2 parts. One option is irons/peeps and scopes/red dots. Another option is all .308, all 7.62x54r, 5.56/5.45 scoped in one class, and 5.56/5.45 irons and open 7.62x39 in the other.
There will not be more than 3 classes, period. This more about fun and seeing other shooters and their guns than it is about a contest.
Entry fees are $10 for the first relay entered, $5 additional relays. Entries can be made in multiple classes, or try to improve upon a previous relay. All funds from each class will be lumped in their own award pot. Payout is expected to be around $20 per class winner, and up to 20 checks to be spread remaining funds through the field depending on how the classes are subscribed. 75% of the entry fees go towards awards, 25% goes to the rifle club for the use of their site.
The event will be held here:
www.geocities.com/tuscorp/While normally a private club, membership is not required for this event. The range to be used is the 200 yd range you will be facing when you enter the club gate. To the right of this area is a 600 yd range that can be used for sighting in before the event. You should bring you own target and holder for this area. I do not have access to the main clubhouse for this event, this means port a jons. Ladies are advised to use a restaurant near the hwy in New Philly on the way in to the event. The firing line is covered, and there is a covered area with some picnic tables behind it. There are a few electrical outlets where crockpots and coffee pots can be rotated to share. Food plans are undecided at this time, but your are encouraged to share. Bring a shooting mat, clipboard and pen, and a spotting scope if available.
Safety: All shooters are expected to follow the directions of the range officer/caller. Only guns on the shooting line are to be loaded, and always pointed down range. Guns will be loaded only when the match caller instructs. Between relays and stages, all guns are to be unloaded and the bolt held open. Safety flags are to be used, and should be available for purchase ($1).
