Cola Warrior Northwest: The Fifth Emesis
February 8-10, 2024 St. Maries, Idaho ![]() Cola Warrior is a FREE 2 gun match (pistol & rifle) that consists of 5 obstacles, eating a rail of peeps while dissasembling and reassembling an AK47, running a half mile, shooting the pistol and rifle course, and finishing everything off by chugging 72oz of carbonated beverage. *****Sign Up Link***** Think hard about how you sign up, you'll be locked in for any special class you sign up for. This is the only way to sign up. We will not be keeping track of any "100% in" posts. Runners are welcome to bring guests, but we do not allow random people to just come watch. Even if they are Benewah county residents, friends of Bob Villa, or helped create the hometown forums. Sign ups will close January 21st. 2 slots for hosts (Me and Splat2013) 7 slots for staff. If you are interested in being staff (and are a cola vet), please reach out to us. 5 slots for top 10 finishers. Random draw and remainder will be added to cola vets. 21 slots for cola vets. Random draw. 15 slots for noobs and plus ones. Random draw. Unlimited standby slots. There is limited daylight for this event so standby runners will have a much smaller chance of running compared to other events. Initial positions will be slotted on December 3rd. After this day, all remaining slots are free for all. When: February 8-10, 2024. Staff runs will be held the weekend before. Where: About 30 minutes outside of St. Maries, Idaho. For security reasons, exact location will only be emailed to participants. Local accommodations: The nearest town is 30 minutes from the run site. After this, there will be little to no cell reception (This is with Verizon, for other carriers, you may lose service an hour away). Town will have gas stations/grocery stores. Also has a motel. 1-1.5 hours away is a decent sized town with accommodations you would expect in a decent sized town. Sleeping arrangements on site: There will be adequate room for tent/hammock camping, and if the field isn't a mud pit trailers too. Restrooms: Porta-potties on site. Food: Food will be provided for these meals: Wednesday- Dinner Thursday- Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Friday- Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Saturday- Breakfast Donations: This is a completely free event that is run on donations. Donation funds will first go to porta-potties, then to food, and finally towards extra things to help keep people warm. It has been estimated that it takes approximately $75 per person to get food and latrines set up. *****DONATION LINK***** OVERALL RULES: Follow all firearms safety rules. No handling firearms after drinking alcohol. No items of a sexual nature, there are kids around. Must sign waiver before running course. Listen to CW Staff - if they tell you not to do something and you do it, you're done. If you break any of these rules you will be banned from this and all future Cola Warriors. COURSE RULES: 5 minute penalty for each failed obstacle. Each obstacle must be attempted for at least 10 seconds. Last Peep must be in mouth before run. 5 minute penalty for each target left un-hit, one hit each steel target. 5 minute penalty for hitting pistol targets with rifle. Reactive targets must be hit to react as designed, falling targets must fall. 5 minute penalty for each Carbonated beverage unchugged. 10 minute total chug time allowed, everything left after will be penalized. 6x 12oz cans, 3x 24oz cans, or 1x 2liter with a 5oz chaser are the only allowed sizes. If you vomit before finishing a 12oz can, no matter how much is left that can it is a 5 minute penalty. If you vomit before finishing a 24oz can, no matter how much is left that can is a 10 minute penalty. If you vomit before finishing 2 liter it is a 30 min penalty Note: 1. We are returning to the 2 magazines limit this year. Two pistol mags and two rifle mags rule is in effect. Rifle is limited to 60 rds, and pistol is limited to 40 rounds. Each additional shot will add a 5 minute penalty. You will still have to carry all of your ammunition/chug/rifle/pistol from the obstacles to the range. Additionally, you only have 10 minutes from the first round fired to complete the course of fire. To avoid tearing up the nifty reactive steel targets, please don't plan on bringing calibers that exceed 3500 fps at the muzzle or 3500 ft/lbs of energy. Due to fire risk (really) and general liability, no ammo that attracts a magnet can be used. 2. We will not be allowing help on the rifle range again this year, beyond the spotter calling hits and making safety corrections. Other Stuff: Questions are great, but please keep an eye on this original post (OP) for the latest and greatest info. This is a cold weather event where you will be exposed to the elements. There will be no shelter provided and you are responsible for your own well being. If you say you are in and no show, you are banned for life, and nobody wants that, man. Please keep an eye out about a month before the event for a confirmation email. You will have a week to respond to it. If you fail to, you'll be removed from the run list. This is to help prevent bans and give standby runners more time to lock in travel arrangements. There will be no open or excessive drinking allowed. This is at the request of the property owners and for your own safety. It may be freezing outside and we don't need anyone passing out or getting lost in the snow because they are intoxicated. Event shirts will not be provided for free to each runner this year. When it comes time, instructions will be posted on how to order shirts. |

Now a real killer, when he picked up the ZF1, would have immediately asked about the little red button on the bottom of the gun.

If a 68-year-old with tummy issues wants to shoot this match but not do the chug stuff, do you have a “Boomer exemption”?

Depending on how things go this year we may or may not switch it back, unforseen scheduling conflicts on our end had us push it a bit earlier this year...so take your opportunity! |
