The 7th annual GA HTF MOA Challenge Shoot will be held on Saturday, November 20th,2021 near Crawfordville GA.  Same place as usual.  Directions (well... gps coords) sent out via arf email system about a week ahead of time.

The MOA challenge is shooting five - 5 shot groups on a single target.  Measured and mathed to see if you and your gear can shoot sub MOA.

The shooting line is 100 yards.  Plan on shooting prone.  We will provide targets, staples, a place to park, outhouses, and the dirt to lay on.  

Creature comforts are entirely up to you.  

Rounds are 15 mins, so use your time accordingly.  update down page 1.  We will have a RO and some staff that will double check your numbers if you have a really good target.  We will have a few dial calipers available for you to measure your targets.  This is not a bench rest competition.  You can use a rear squeeze bag, but you have to be actively controlling the rear of the gun while shooting.  

My computer isn't letting me link to old threads, but since this is the 7th annual, you can try the archives to see what the first 6 were all about.  

I'll try to get a link to the MOA Challenge thread as well - that's where you go and post your results.  

Donations can be cash on site, PP, Venmo.  

Prizes... currently you get bragging rights.  I haven't reached out to our usual 5 star sponsor, but I will after this thread takes off.  

Get your gear ready we look forward to seeing you soon.

Down to Volunteer as long as I can get a few strings of fire in between.

Possibly in, if my body allows, I’m having a rib resection surgery on the 1st.

I also just moved back from CA & need to sight in my sticks. I attended your first HTF shoot in 2011 was it? Good time.

We are going to change things up a bit this year.

Range will be hot for 30-40 mins (to be determined).  You can take each rifle to the line 1 time.  We will still put up 2 targets per lane, per round.  So... If you want to knock out 2 groups... go for it.  If you screw up on round #7... you can start over on target #2.  If everyone is done shooting early, we will end the round early.  RO will make the call.  For at least 30 mins, you are not allowed to rub the thigh of the precision shooter you are trying to beat.  After 30 minutes is still to be determined.  lol

If you are real confident, you can bring 2 guns to the line and shoot 1 target with each one, but then you are committed to those targets.

We will have at least 18 lanes to shoot from, so you should be able to participate in every other round if everyone shoots a lot.  (probably more as I know some people will only make one trip and some may actually share a lane and get 2 shooters taken care of in one round)

To clarify... you can bring multiple guns, but each gun will only go to the line one time.  If you loan your gun out, that doesn't count against you.  

And just like that, half of you have to start thinking of new excuses!  lol

If anyone wants to shoot but is having ammo struggles or doesn't feel confident in their setup, I have some known good setups available but I need to know if advance so I can load some ammo.

In order to keep a safe line, weapons can be stored on the line so if you are going to switch out shooters, their gun is already there, and yours doesn’t leave while others are shooting.  

Actions open while cold and nobody on the line while targets are being tended.

If this year is like the past 4yrs, there will be a lot of gas guns. I know I’ll be bringing 2 gas guns.

I may get to run a bolt action since @Robpiat is offering to load the ammo! All joking aside, that’s a very nice gesture Rob.

IF I can find the bullets I need in time and IF I can get a load worked up and IF we are free that day we will have 6.5 Grendel AR's but that's a lot of if's.  If not, maybe next year.

Precision shooters we are not.

I'm running a gas gun as well. If I can get the new barrel installed in my A2, I'll run that. Otherwise I'm going to shoot my shitty Colt with a 1-4 hahaha.

Of course.

The real question might be the percentage that shoot sub MOA.  I can tell you there’s a lot of humble pie eaten when folks are actually putting up or shutting up.  But it makes you better and I can’t think of anyone that’s gonna look down on anyone, on the contrary everyone is gonna help. Great group.

Except SuperJ, he’s nothing more than a crack dealer. Don’t let him near your children!

If you can get there, I’ll have a rifle you can use. I’ve got some ammo, but it does decent with ADI 69gr ammo.

Most ppl come for the comradery, but I think I read above that there will be thigh rubs too! Not sure if that costs extra, but definitely worth investigating further.
