Guys,
The Osage ORange Sharpshooters will be having a Match this coming Saturday morning....
Date: Saturday July 26th Time: 8:00 AM Place: Andy Dalton RAnge Complex, Bois d'Arc MO
DON'T MISS THIS EVENT..... !!!!
As described in the last OOS Newsletter, we are going to be doing something a bit different for this Match... The first thing we'll be doing is a reduced range version of the Infantry Team Event (aka "Rattle Battle") that is held each year at Camp Perry Ohio during the Nationals.
The targets for this event are black torso silhouettes, reduced to 100 from the 600, 500, and 200 yd normals. No scoring rings. A hole anywhere in the black is a hit.....
We will be divided into 4 man teams for this event. Each individual can fire a maximum of 48 total rounds in three seperate stages (prone, sitting, standing).... each stage lasting for 50 seconds, beginning with the rifle locked and loaded, the shooter in position, aiming through the sights, and ready to fire at command.
Talk about yur rapid fire.... No wonder they call this "Rattle Battle". Sounds like fun to me.....
NOTE: There will be a brief sight-in period before Infantry Team event begins. Be sure to bring enough ammo for this if you need it......
IF time permits after the "Rattle Battle" is complete, we will shoot an abbreviated CMP course of 35 rounds. Five sighter shots, ten rounds slow fire prone, ten rounds rapid fire prone, and ten rounds slow fire standing. This will be done on our normal SR-1 ringed "bullseye" target.
See you all there.....
