Hey enthusiasts, Basics of this event listed below (more to follow via your ideas and input)
***Updated 08/31/24***. There has been a date change!!!
Event: USMC M40 shoot with fund raiser to benefit the USMC Scout Sniper Association, Recon Sniper foundation, and American Sniper Association. Each of these great foundations has given to my platoons in support and many others over the years time to give back. (hopefully turn this into an annual event)
Dates: Date change, Nov. 15/16 Friday/ Saturday 9 am till completion, sorry for the change but my work schedule has changed and I will not be able to make the original date.
Mission: Gather enthusiast with various reproduction M40s to have a structured range day (gather data) and have a 60- 75 round match to see who’s M40 is top dog! Trophy will be given. Raise funds for the SSA. Vendors and swap meet are welcome being that I’m sure there are plenty of parts people have that they want to trade or sell.
Friday Oct. 4th- will be zero day and data collection day, I will help shooters with zeroing especially those with Unertl optics. Data collection on steel out to 600.
Saturday Oct. 5th- Match day we will shoot 8-10 stages of fire that I will outline soon, that cover sniper related skills with some challenge stages/ targets. Afterwards will have some food and do a swap meet, fun’s hoot on the pistol/ carbine range. No gun sales or transfers on property, must be conducted lawfully. Gear and equipment is all fair game.
Restrictions: This is a private 600 yard range and I have neighbors so all rounds will need to impact into the berms, the vintage rifles are not true to the distances marked on the turrets, so this will not be a free for all shoot, I will control the line on the long range. Just like in sniper school.
Challenge: each participant will need to donate $100 to any of the listed sniper charities above, send a copy of your receipt to me for entry into the event, upon receipt you will receive the address/ directions to the private facility.
Range features:
Dedicated 100 yard zero range
600 yard steel range fixed and covered firing line (full size IPSC down to MOA targets on each line)
50 yard carbine pistol range (bring your replica carbines to shoot also)
Cabin with tables and chairs for classroom
I will be out of town for a week on vacation, but post questions/ comments here, I will answer next week when I get back.
Look forward to this and getting to see all the different M40s people have built.
