June was all-carbine month, so July is all-precision month. We have come up with some pretty cool stages including:

   * CBS from a hide site
   * Craft a DIY tripod from natural materials and fire over a milk crate (shooters must bring some 550 cord and a hatchet/field saw)
   * Simulated Ambush stage fired from a real vehicle
   * Hostage mover - a badguy hiding behind a life-sized photorealistic hostage, moving across the range.
   * Target ID Mover - shoot the correct one.
   * Threading the needle - Set yourself up to fire through an opening without hitting it
   * Stress fire
   * Closest to center - best of relay stage - best five shots earn points
   * Reticle holdover drills on steel
   * Lots of rounds at 600Y - Almost half the match!

Looking forward to a great time. The full CoF is available on the registration page, as is the registration form itself (online). We are taking 30 shooters max this time. Any questions, you always know where to find us.

Fargo,

I'm not set up for this type of shooting. But it really looks interesting. What kind of gun and scope rig would work?

Something that can shoot 1MOA or so out to 600Y, with a reticle that can measure.  

It is more difficult than with a .30 cal bolt gun (especially out long), but some guys do a DMR style AR upper with a 3-10 type scope and throw heavier bullets like 75's or 77's.  This is the least expensive option, but it is very hard to compete against a bolt gun past 500Y with one unless it is a dead calm day.   The semi provides a distinct advantage on movers though.  

You definitely should put a precision rig together.  I've hung out with you long enough to know you will pick up on the ballistics and trajectory science of it quickly.  Some of the best off the shelf results I've seen have been from bolt guns have been the remington 700 5R MILSPEC's and the FN SPR series.  

I enjoy both types of matches, but I prefer long range precision competition.  There are more variables to compensate for and overcome, and every detail matters.

+1 for the Remington 700 5R,. i have one in .300Win. Mag. and i loves its dearly. for the semi auto get a Armalite AR-10T, or build up a M1A and be done with it. for glass do your self a favor and get a FFP & mil/mil, on a mil-dot or TMR reticue it costs more but it is so much easier to use. (do not skimp on the optics)
