I took several shots of a competitor shooting from each position at a stage, and put them all together to give a better idea of what it looks like to take part in one of these events.
A few pics from last Sundays match. I spent too much time on the timer and not enough time taking pics.
Dont be scared, even girls shoot this match. Staying at home wont help you get any better. Get out there and shoot.
Again this year these matches would not happen without everyones support and help. I could not and would not do it without everyone chipping in and helping. Special thanks to Justin for being my Assistant Match Director and doing a great job with setting things up on the shotgun berms. He designed some excellent stages this year.
See you guys next year.
Some tough offhand shooting on the shotgun berms.
Shooting a little prone on the 400 yard stage. This fellow and his father came all the way from Florida to shoot with us.
A few pics of John using the various props on the 400 yard stage.
You will engage a variety of targets from a variety of positions.
Usual max range is about 425 yards (well within the capability of today's popular 16 inch carbines) but the new additions at the range may change that.
Ah what fun can be had by a bunch of heavily armed friends on Memorial Day weekend in the country?
Oh NO! Zombie outbreak and I didn't take my rifle with me into the outhouse!
Kick the door open and get to your weapon! Use what cover you can to remain concealed while firing. Shoot and move shoot and move!
Now FYI for those of you that have never fired an AR 15 between to empty steel 55 gallon drums... stick your head in a galvanized mop bucket and hit it with a 5 pound sledge hammer. Do it repeatedly til you get all 5 of your targets.
I about knocked the door off coming out of there! (Great pics Justin!)
You don't HAVE to run between positions but you should move with authority. Go as fast as you think is safe for you. Keep your muzzle downrange and your finger off the trigger.
First magazine change. On the run reaching for it.. maybe my back pocket isn't the best place to carry a spare 20. Again muzzle down and downrange, finger off the trigger, Slap it home, get set and finish them off.
I did this stage in 40 shots and 213 seconds. Too bad the REST of my day didn't go so well.
Next stage I'll call 'death of the ball turret gunner' as shooting from INSIDE that rooftop barricade required all sorts of human origami for many competitors.
But you really see the transitions as people move in and out of these and it usually makes for fun pics.
I'm seeing more of these leg-mounted mag carriers showing up at our matches of late, as well and the magazine 'dump pouch'. If you can manuver with them, by all means use them.
I also need to ask this guy (John I think it was) what kind of gloves he's using.
Instead of the normal (200-400 yards) distances, we pulled the targets in closer thinking some or most AK drivers might be using iron sights.
The AK was doing ok (for me anyway) as long as the targets were close and there were no mandatory reloads. Once the targets got further away, the crappy trigger and short stock kinda sealed the deal for the AR...
Up on the shotgun ranges with squad 3. Close target, 90 yards. Far target, 197 yards.
Squad 3 at the VTAC wall. The target was a full size IPSC target at 140 yards. We even had a SCAR show up.
I was the only guy on squad 3 shooting a commie gun. Mine might only be a half of a commie gun seeing as how it is a 223 AK. Hard to imagine that a 223 AK could recoil as much as a 5.45 or 7.62 but they do. The slippery buttplate made the awkward positions hard because the rifle recoiled out of my shoulder with every shot.
And the man that thought up the AK vs AR Match many years ago.
Next September. Be there. Put on your big girl panties and leave the excuses at home.
Had a LOT of fun. It was hot and dusty, and we had something like 30 shooters this time, some running 2 rifles. Thanks to all that run timers and clipboards and pick up brass.
No malfunctions sunday, just need to remind myself to move on if I'm struggling with a single target.
Just a note: dusty mags + sweaty pads/mag carriers = MUDDY mags.
