{{{Formerly known as the SHTF Challenge}}}

**********************************************************

RULES:

1} 100 yards, 15 shots within 3 minutes.

2} All shooting must be UN-supported and NO prone.
Standing/Sitting/Kneeling/Squatting are all OK. NO USE OF ANY SUPPORT! No non-body part under the elbows.

NO bags. NO sling. NO sticks. NO bipods. NO benches. NO supports of any kind.
UPDATE:  If the range won't let you sit on the ground or stand, go ahead and shoot sitting in the chair, just no resting the rifle or your arms on anything except your own body.

3} Standard “ARFCOM” target should be used so we are all equals in that regard.
I know it sucks as a target, but the reason we all need to use it is that it will form a standardized target so all are handicapped by the same restrictions. Look at the one posted here. 6-inch diameter. They are easy to make or click below;

"Official Target":

https://app.box.com/s/sj3zq0s2qeviackhra8s

"Alternate Approved Target":

http://ar15hunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/AFRCOM-AR-NON-MOA-CHALLENGE-BULL-TARGET-1.pdf

Rule Modification: You should use the Arfcom Target but may use a more-or-less 6-inch round bull if you cannot get the Arfcom Target to print. For example, the SR-1 Target may be used.  Use 8.5x11 sheet of paper and a clean backer for scoring. Note scoring rules.

Now...since some might throw shots off an 8.5x11 sheet, the 8.5x11 ARFCOM Target may be taped/stapled on top of a target backer. BUT the target backer MUST be clear of other shots {except the 15 fired for score}. Cardboard, construction paper, reversed tan-backed targets, white paper, etc may be used as target backers EXCEPT, again, the backer must be clean of all shots before shooting the 15 for score. TARGETS WILL BE DISQUALIFIED IF HOLES OTHER THAN THE FIFTEEN ARE VISIBLE. USE A CLEAN TARGET, ETC AS A BACKER.

4} 15-shot group score to be measured as follows:

Extreme spread to be calculated measuring outside edge of the farthest shots, outside edge of greasehole to outside edge of greasehole. Then subtract diameter of the bullet. Total in inches calculated. You may use a slide rule, ruler, dial caliper or…..yardstick or 20-foot tape measure capable of decimal or fractions to the 16th of an inch but DO NOT POST FRACTIONS!! Convert all ruler measurements to decimal or they will not be posted. Then convert to Minute-Of-Angle. MOA = {100 yard Group size divided by 1.047}.

5} PICTURES. You must post:

1 picture of the fired target uncluttered by anything else,

1 picture of the target with ruler, etc., measuring the extreme spread of the group itself,

1 picture of the rifle.

3 pictures in all MUST be posted.

You MAY also include a pic of the shooting position taken either while shooting or posed so we can see what position is being used. That would be helpful and guys will want to see this. Do it if you can. Video is cool, too.

6} Results must be entered in the following format for posting {so I can copy/paste}. If not in this format your results will not be posted.

USER NAME  - Make, Model, Caliber - Barrel Length INCLUDING Muzzle Devices - Sights Make and Type - Notable Features and Mods - Ammunition {factory load/handloads} - Shooting Position Used - Group Size in Decimal Inches = (Group size divided by 1.047) MOA

7} Now, here are the Rifle Divisions;

BARREL LENGTHS INCLUDE BRAKES,SUPPRESSORS, FLASH HIDERS as they all add forward weight.

A} Iron-sighted Carbine Division {bbls under 18" INCLUDING BRAKES, SUPPRESSORS, FLASH HIDERS}
B} Iron-Sighted Rifle Division {bbls 18” and over}
C} Optical-Sighted Carbine Division {bbls under 18 inches}
D} Optical-Sighted Rifle Division {bbls 18 inches and over}

EDIT; BARREL LENGTH; MEASURE YOUR BARREL USING THE FOLLOWING METHOD; POST THAT WITH THE DATA ABOVE; Use the “BATFE Method”; Unload rifle, insert cleaning rod from muzzle to breech face, mark at the muzzle, w/draw and measure from end to mark. For our purposes, "Barrel Length" INCLUDES, REPEAT, INCLUDES MUZZLE DEVICES!

Remember, BARREL LENGTHS INCLUDE BRAKES,SUPPRESSORS, FLASH HIDERS as they all add forward weight.

GET OUT THERE AND HAVE SOME FUN AND SHOOT!!

Oh hey, i made a crappy printer ink friendly target i need to post. Never did get back out to the range to do a proper shoot, and i sold the ak i did it with last year.

No problem.

Just shoot what you have.

Doesn't have to be an AK.

The Challenge is open to all rifles.

tag

I'm curious;  Is this a Tag because you intended to shoot, or just a Tag to follow?

Not many people would be proud of a dead-last ranking in a category, but I have to say that my #15 ranking in Division D is one of my prouder shooting accomplishments.

I'll see if I can get some of my students in on this.

Every time I think of making the attempt myself, I calculate the deductible on my chiropractic coverage and decide against it...

Here's my submission, hopefully I did everything right so I don't get into trouble.
Rifle is a PSA Premium 20" with stock irons and PSA LPK.
Sling mounts are in the photos but I did not have the sling on the rifle.
Ammo is PMC X-Tac Match 77gr OTM

Here is the shooting position used. I had no one with me when I shot so I had my wife take the picture when she got home from work.

Thanks for posting!!

Good shooting!

Post it up according to the rules so I can copy/paste and I'll get you on the board.

Here's the format:

USER NAME – Make Model Caliber Rifle – Barrel Length INCLUDING Muzzle Devices - Sights Make and Type -List of Important Mods – Ammunition {factory load/handloads} - Shooting Position Used – Group Size Decimal Inches = MOA {100 yard Group size divided by 1.047}

entry edited with proper format.

Awesome!

Got you on the board.

That is some GREAT shooting, too.  Even with irons, that group would put you at #5 in the OPTICAL sighted rifle division.  Great job!

Thanks. It was the first group I shot after getting the rifle sighted in with the new ammo. I shot another group with some ADI but it was slightly larger than the one I submitted. I tried to shoot another group at the end of the day after I was "warmed" up, but as usual my groups start to open up after I've shot for awhile.

That is common with me as well. Fatigue, whatever, creeps in at the end of the day.

If you've got any other rifles, boltguns, anything, post 'em up!

I got plenty of other rifles to try. Just need to get a nice day on the weekend when I don't have anything else to do. I thought about trying one with my Marlin 336 but I don't think I could reload it fast enough to stay under the 2min limit.

TLDR

Oh, yeah you could!!!  I did it with a couple Mosin Nagants and those things are a pain.  You'd have time.

Give it a whirl.  If you reshoot it and do better, I'll post the best group.  I need to kick that scoped AR10 group of mine off the list and bump it up, myself!

The whole affair is designed to be fun and get folks shooting.  In fact, I've gotten plenty of feedback that many find it a lot harder than they think!  But it is sure interesting to see what rifles are getting top billing. A <MOA "Laser" doesn't necessarily translate into a good 15-shot group from a field position.  But most shooters here are stuck to the bench I think.  In fact, some shoot at ranges where they aren't even allowed to shoot sway from a bench, so the Fudds and farmboys among us seem to do very well indeed.

No 100yd range for me right now...

OST

I've still got an unused target from last time floating around the back seat of my car.

Might try to break into the top 5 on Sunday if the weather holds up.

I'll see if I can do this tonight. I have a 100 yard indoor range near me, hopefully it isn't too packed.

Tag

Yup.

Standard Issue Arfcom.

Weekend bump to remind the Taggers.  

Can we shoot a half size target at 50yds?

Good question but no.  Nothing shorter than 100 yds.  We hashed it out a while back on the first go-round and made that a rule.  Gotta be 100.   That sucks if you are stuck with a 50 yd range.  Sorry about that.

What's the reason for excluding certain field positions (such as prone) or field aids (such as a shooting sling)?  I can't remember if you gave your rationale for that last time or not.  I've used both while afield.

The whole thing is designed to eliminate any skills normally associated with specific shooting disciplines and also eliminate anything that provides solid support of the rifle, just to make it a bit "harder".  Kind of "just pick up the rifle and start shooting".  The rationale has worked, too, in that if you look at the shooting positions, they vary and it has been neat watching how different shooters prefer to shoot when given the options excluding prone.  Prone specifically was eliminated as I didn't want to make it a "Prone Cahllenge" which I figured it would be if prone was allowed.  Now a prone challenge would be a neat challenge in its own right, but this isn't it.

What kind of glass?

Because I can't fucking see.

Can you see well enough to find the roster of shooters in the OP?

{Sorry, had to say that... Couldn't resist   }

Check them out tho.  You can use optical sights or irons.  Each has a separate division.  Carbine optical and iron, rifle optical and iron.

There is one sort-of-prone position that has been cleared for this event.

That's not going to happen anytime soon.

Really, that's what you chose to put in your photobucket and share?

Shucks, forgot that one!!!

Yes, this is the only pseudo-prone position allowed.  We covered it in detail before approval was issued!  

You're just upset because I didn't show off more midriff.

Couple of questions.

Edit - Is there an appropriate subject thread that allows subscriptions you could post this in?  Without that it's harder to find and follow.

Is a shooting jacket ok?
Glove?

Mostly asking for a friend who likely could hold 2" sitting if they are allowed, maybe even if they aren't.

I might have trouble holding the 6" circle, but I'm going to try.

Tag
I need to do this

The rules don't say anything about not being able to use a jacket or gloves.

there should be a subscribe button next to the post reply button. But I'm not sure if non team members have this feature.

gunner gave you the key to subscriptions.  Pay up!!  

As for shooting gloves...

Mmmmm.....

Lemme think about it...

Damn props.  Crutches.  That is exactly what we are trying to get away from here.

I've already allowed shooting jackets as a concession mostly because there are some tubby guys that when they jam themselves into a Carhart chore coat might as well be strapped into a Camp Perry Straightjacket.

So.....

Ya'know what.

What the heck, I'll allow it.

Shooting jackets = OK.

Shooting gloves =  OK.

The latter only because I want to get guys shooting this thing.

Just note them in the scoring data after the shooting position.  No need to cite "Glove", just put "Sissy Mitt". That'll do.  

But all the other rules apply!

And seriously guys, just shoot the thing.  So what if you don't do as well as you want to.   Use it as a benchmark to improve upon!  Just shoot it and post your results. Just observe all the rules and then have some fun!

A pistol version in the works?

I was thinking of using my 4" GP100 and just entering it in the iron sighted carbine category, but I'm a glutton for punishment.

You know the drill.  Gotta draw the line somewhere.

But as for "Coats = Benches", well...no, they do not, feel free to don one and bump the top shooters out!

I wanted to use my Scorpion Evo at 100 with a red dot

OST

"On Second Thought"?

Huh?

Have to agree.  If a field sling isn't allowed then no pansy clothing accessories either!!!

I like the concept of no time to sling up or anything else. Just get sights on target and send it!  (And I'm an Appleseed instructor and all about using a sling)

Maybe you have to stand or maybe there's time to drop to kneeling or seated behind cover and send some hate downrange!!!

ETA- Not dissing the OP too much just having fun as a purist.

As I said, it is what it is.

No Sling.
Jackets OK.
Sissy Mitts OK.

Tho I personally am repulsed by all the crutches.

The original idea for this thing actually came to me during my workout hikes, snare checking and ski trekking in the mountains on and around my ranch.  I carry and use a rifle and/or pistol all year, good weather and bad, killing whatever game or varmints are in season.  I do use a sling from time to time but depending on rifle may not even have one on the gun as I generally do not like them.  Sometimes, in winter, my rifles are set up in "biathlon" rigs I make.  But I wanted a standardized setup, so banned the sling, and as said, it helps avoid the advantage a High Power shooter might have.  

Maybe allowing jackets and gloves is a mistake, but I get exhausted dealing with gamers trying to game the system, so I caved.  

Ill give this a shot sometime in the next couple weeks.
Can I use a scoped upper and open sight upper on the same lower?

Good question.

Yes.

You can enter 2 Divisions that way.  The Optical and the Iron sight.

Actually, the same upper can be used for both as well by merely changing the sighting equipment.  You can shoot the Challenge with irons and the then add a scope and get a score up on both Divisions.  I did myself and I think others might have also.

Damn, I did horrible.
