[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Designated Marksman Challenge (Page 1 of 2)
Posted: 3/15/2016 8:00:55 PM EDT
Designated Marksman Challenge Shooters will be broken up into groups and cycled through each stage. Shooters will get into position and make ready A horn will sound and shooters will have 2 minutes to locate and shoot each target for the stage Targets will be marked with a Color and number Hit or miss, scoring Horn will sound at 2 minutes Shooter will empty and show clear We will rotate through shooters and stages until everyone is done. All 3 rifle stages and the pistol stage will be hot at the same time. We're shooting mostly 5" circles, so the accuracy challenge isn't too high. But your positions will be unfamiliar to most and your working against a clock. CCA is going to be the sponsor of a little bonus stage we're going to be doing. It'll be a nice treat if any of you haven't shot a suppressor yet 
We're aiming for a safe, fun match and nothing more. If you're a competitor on a national scale, you're going to laugh your way to first place... but if your shooting is mostly limited to bench work, this will be a fun challenging match. Dates are April 30th and October 8th Match starts at 9AM at the colfax Range 946 W 120th St S, Colfax, IA 50054 $15 entry fee What You'll need: Centerfire Rifle, speed limit of 3100FPS 30 rounds of Ammo for the 3 rifle stages Centerfire Pistol w/extra mags Holster and Mag pouch 30+ rounds Pistol ammo Eye and ear protection Bring any Snacks or Drinks you may need. We will be getting through shooters quicker, but we'll still be out there for a little while, I don't want anyone getting grumpy because they're hungry. I'll update with more information as we get things rolling. Any questions? |

Open to spectators? Also having never participated are there any rules as to what weapons/configurations are, or are not allowed? Also I offered to help you before when you tired to setup a 3gun match. If you need any help on this let me know. Yep, spectators are welcome. AR platform or bolt gun I'm not overly sure on how some of them fancy rounds treat steal that close. So I'd say 5.56 or .308. But that's open to discussion. |

Sorry for the delayed replies.

Sweet! Any photos or videos or prior shoots? Quoted:
Sweet! Any photos or videos or prior shoots? Yes, and I will try and get them posted in the next couple days. Quoted:
Any word on cost? $15 a shooter is probably what will go with. Might drop it to $10, but we'll see. Quoted:

Joel I will try my best to run down for the first one. I have been working most saturdays but I will see what it looks like. I may need the use of jacks couch and shitty daves companionship the night before though. I hope you do make it. And Shitty told me you always have an open spot on the couch... Me on the other hand, I have to pay. |

Any suggestions? http://precisionrifleforums.com I'll add it to the list. I've started a new job and haven't had much free time (Damn GF), so I'm slacking on posting this around. I need to reply to a couple emails and updated the OP and start getting the word out. If anyone feels like sharing this elsewhere, shoot me a pm with the link and I'll try and follow up. Also, word of mouth will push this too, so I hope you invite all your shooting friends. |

If you're interested in coming, Can you please shoot me an Email with the number of shooters/Spectators you'll be bringing. Also let me know if you're willing to help
[email protected] I'm asking for an email to hopefully thin out the duplicates as this has been posted else where. Thanks |

Quoted:
Excellent. Sounds like a good time. Are shooters going to RSVP so you have a head count? Also, those pictures from prior shoots? Or a link? Thanks An email heads up is appreciated, but not required for the match. I'm just trying to get a ruff count. [email protected] Yea, ive got some pictures I've been meaning to share. At work on break at the moment, I'll try and get them up soon. Also, Teddy said he's bring his camera next week, so we'll have some better photos for anyone interested in the October match. |

Gonna shoot 55gr wolf MC as well. It should be fun at least |

Thinking about it-out to 200 and it should be doable with irons(.22-250 is my only scoped centerfire). The 250 is just a sweet shooter and it sounds like just the type of shoot for it. |

Planning to take it to the Bonair range outside of Cresco Tuesday or Wednesday, you're welcome to come out. You'll have to register as a user(free but required), and if you do it FTF at the nature center just south of town they'll give you a temporary card to use until permanent comes in. Picked up a 03A3 just recently I'll take along too. |

I'll have a rifle you can shoot, AR with a fixed 10x scope. I'll bring extra ammo if you'd like, and you can just pay me for ammo. One other member will also be using it. |

I am trying to decide if I should slap some glass on my 300blk for this event. |

Thanks for the offer-looks like I won't make it to this one though. Schedule just got posted for that week and I'm working. Will have to try for the October date-hopefully I'll have an optic AR built by then. |
These are old photos from one of the first shoots. I never took any at the following shoots I went to
This one is because I'm so damn Artsy 
This video shows exactly what we're going to avoid... shitty shooters, missing targets and taking too long. Though I looked great doing it! And ignore the music, that song was cool when i edited the video. 
We got rid of the stage to stage movement, and that will save a bunch of time. |
