Big Dog Precision Rifle Match scheduled for September 10&11, 2016. We are planning an awesome venue. Plenty of long distance shooting, barricade work, fun stages, and hit-able targets. I'm still working out the details for lunch on Saturday. However, I am planning to bring in a BBQ catering service for Sunday afternoon. I can't think of a more American way to remember Sept. 11th than hanging out with friends, eating BBQ and shooting stuff.
The match will be held at Rayners Range in Blue Rock Ohio. Most local guys are very familiar with that range. It is an excellent facility! Tom and his wife are great people. They've been very supportive of the shooting community for years and I'm happy to hold the event at their place. The facility is approx. 30 minutes away from plenty of hotels in Zanesville, OH. Match Fees will be $195 for the weekend and will include - T-shirts, Lunch, beverages, trophies and a trip to the prize table. Registration will be July 15th at noon EST on our website. Links will be posted a few minutes before registration goes live. The PRS committee is still discussing feasibility for the match. There are a lot of matches scheduled already this year and they are concerned with matches not filling up. With the interest shown by shooters so far...I think we can fill this match pretty quick. What do you guys think? Thank you all for your support! View Quote |

Is PRS membership required?
How many does it take to fill the match? I'm guessing it won't be a problem, but just curious. |

It isn't going to be a PRS match now so it will draw less people in. I'm not sure what the cut off is for amount of people. There are a lot of people who will shoot it just because it is going to be at Rayner's, but two days is a big commitment. I wouldn't be eusprised if it sold out, but it may not. |

From what I seen in the rules the Production division should be a one day match, but don't know how this one will be run or if production will be offered. |

I didn't look, but if it's for sure two days, I probably won't make it. September and early October are already pretty busy.

Quoted: I didn't look, but if it's for sure two days, I probably won't make it. September and early October are already pretty busy. View Quote It is two days. They are following a PRS format. From the Big Dog Steel Site: Details: Round count will be approx. 160 rounds to complete the course of fire. The round count may be further refined as we move closer to the match.
Caliber will be restricted to 300WM and below. Muzzle velocity will be restricted to 3,150fps. Competitors may be checked at random. Registration and check in will be from 7:00am to 8:00am on Saturday morning. No Friday check-in will be required for this match. Please plan to arrive a few minutes before registration opens. You must register and fill out your release prior to zero'ing. Please plan accordingly. A zero range will be open from 7:30am to 8:00am on Saturday morning. Match briefing and announcements will start at 8am and shooting will start no later than 8:46am. I would plan to be completed with the day one course of fire around 4:30-5pm. On Sunday please plan to arrive at approx. 7:30am and be ready to start shooting no later than 8:30am. We are hoping to start the awards ceremony and dinner around 1pm on Sunday afternoon. |

Still spots open for this. I know the cost/round/time commitment adds up, but if people want more stuff like this Ohio this is a good starting point.

I have been lobbying my shooting buddies, who mostly shoot 3 gun and tactical matches at ALGC to go too, but no takers so far, mostly because of schedules.
Most of my shooting buddies are on the fringe of not having the right equipment for this type of match, there is a barrier to entry for this sport. |

I messaged Big Dog Steel and asked how the sign up was going. They said there were still a lot of openings. They stated they hoped the announcement of the rifle prize would garner more shooters.
Here is Big Dog's rifle announcement. It is all starting to come together. They guys and gals shooting the BDS Precision Rifle Match are in for an absolute treat.
It all started when Wade Stuteville owner of Stuteville Precision volunteered to produce a one of a kind precision rifle for our match. Wade is one of the most knowledgeable, kind hearted guys I know. He's forgotten more things about precision rifle shooting than I may ever learn and he's one heck of a gunsmith. Along with building the rifle Wade is also donating one of their extremely effective Impact Precision rifle brakes. Phil Cashin owner of Masterpiece Arms agreed to donate one of their awesome chassis for the build. MPA chassis skyrocketed this year in the PRS world with the introduction of their barricade stop and other ingenious inventions for rifle chassis. They're both ergonomic and extremely functional. Shawn Burkholder owner of Hawk Hill Barrels and his right hand man Brix Birckner are producing one of their supremely accurate 6.5mm barrels in their proprietary Pro Marksman Contour. Norm and Mike from Defiance Machine are sending in one of their actions. Defiance actions are among the most popular actions in the PRS community for good reason, they're sleek, precise, accurate and built like a tank. We are extremely happy to have Defiance on board with us again for this match. Tom Meyers owner of X-Treme Shooting is sending the icing on the cake with one of their extremely reliable, and tune-able CG X-Treme triggers. Soo...how can you win this rifle?? First, register for our match on Sept. 10-11 on our website. Registration is open and spots are filling fast. http://www.bigdogsteel.com/bdsprrima.html The rifle will be awarded in a very unique fashion. It gives guys an opportunity to win the rifle without winning the match. We will have approx. 16 stages for our precision rifle match. All stages will be timed (your stage time does not effect your points). The fastest time and highest score on each stage will be declared the stage winner. Each time you win a stage you will be entered into a drawing. You may be entered into the drawing a maximum of 2 times. Should you win 3 or more stages the stage winner will be awarded to the second place finisher for that stage and so on. This opens up the possibility for a guy who shoots decent during the match, but manages to crush one stage to be entered into the drawing and potentially WIN THIS RIFLE! If that doesn't get you excited you may need to find another sport. View Quote |

Quoted: Latest posting from Big Dog is there are a few openings left. I am really looking forward to this. My first match like this was just this past spring at the Northern Ohio Sniper Challenge. I learned a lot in just that one match and expect the learning curve for this match to be really steep. Besides my inexperience, I'll be at a little more of a disadvantage shooting a 20" 308, but oh well. 175 gr TMK's at 2650 fps aren't too bad ballistically. http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m78/Ironmaker/Rifle%206.3.16_zpsjj282jsy.jpg View Quote NEOH was very basic compared to what this will likely be. |
