    Mammoth Sniper Challenge 2020 Discussion

    I'm pretty sure I saw the starting registration & zero confirmation day as January the 9th.

    The match is full with a waiting list. If you didn't get signed up within the first day or two it was available you may be able to get on the waiting list, but the odds aren't good you'll be in the 2020.

    Mammoth Sniper Challenge 2020 Discussion

    I've still been having some great luck with my samsung health app. I do a "new workout" for hiking each time I practice ruck. My last #trainingformammoth workout was pushups, situps, kettlebell, battlerope, then a 3.7 mile ruck and on the second half I shuffled all the uphills and my pace was...

    Pack for Mammoth 2020

    I can't speak to HPG packs, but I really like the chest pouch I've got from them. I only bought it to pack a pistol while backpacking, and it looks like something a hiker would wear, I don't have one of the models covered in molle just to blend in a bit on the trail. I would imagine their...

    Pack for Mammoth 2020

    If it helps at all, I've been using that Osprey of mine and just haven't fallen in love with it. I'm going to pick up a mystery ranch Selway, mostly because it's a bigger version of their scree and I absolutely love how that pack rides.

    That's not a bad idea, if you can count on grabbing some dirt & sand when you get to the stages.

    Mammoth Sniper Challenge 2020 Discussion

    As far as my pack goes, currently the plan is to run an Osprey Aether 70L without the top lid. I still need to work on getting a rifle strapped to it and getting that all dialed in. A question I have for those who've gone to these before is what do you do for a rear bag if anything? The...

    Where do you look for a "lightweight" rig? Sub 10#?

    A precision rifle with scope under 6# is amazing. That's exactly what I'm talking about. The mammoth challenge is one thing, but I doubt I'll want a heavier rifle on hunting trips the older I get.

    Where do you look for a "lightweight" rig? Sub 10#?

    I'm still preparing for 2020 Mammoth and so far, I've dropped 15# and competed in my first prs style rifle match which was the Guardian in Mi. I'm happy with all my gear I currently have, but as a guy who's also gone on several backpacking trips I understand the importance of weight when going...

    Mammoth Sniper Challenge 2020 Discussion

    I'm dialed in now. I got on last night around 9pm and got signed up. I was so excited I couldn't sleep so I went out and rucked for 3.77 miles and hit a new personal record for overall pace. I can't wait for this.

    I just tried it again and the links wouldn't allow me to register.

    Did the registration website go down?!?!? I'm trying to get registered and none of the links work with either my mobile or my desktop.

    That makes sense. I get it.

    Mammoth Sniper Challenge 2020 Discussion

    As far as making ruck times goes, am I looking at this wrong. I get the idea of tracking devices now in the preparation phase, but once you get there won't there be a somewhat large group of people all starting the ruck at or about the same time? I know the pace I need to be at, but also know...

    Mammoth Sniper Challenge 2020 Discussion

    We are looking at using a hammock gear journey 12' hammock tarp as a tent along with S.O.L. bivy or 2go systems trifecta all opened up as a floor. The tarp is 18.69 ounces per their website: https://www.hammockgear.com/the-journey-12-ft-ridgeline-dark-olive-green/. The trifecta is around the...

    Mammoth Sniper Challenge 2020 Discussion

    Reading this last page has really got me questioning what I'd been planning for my partner and I. He's a 53yr old fitness stud who normally runs an AK. The precision stuff is more my realm and I'll have the slower pace between us. We'd planned on me being primary with a 6.5creedmoor and him...

    Pack for Mammoth 2020

    I'd like to see the pictures as well. I've been out for 15 years and can't picture any of this.

    Pack for Mammoth 2020

    I've done some reading on the Mystery Ranch Selway 60L after I got done looking at the terraframe 50L. The only thing that makes me nervous is all that rifle weight on one side of the pack. My rifle weighs 16# and that's not with any ammo. I ended up picking up an Osprey Aether 70L just based...

    Pack for Mammoth 2020

    It's weird, but when it showed you quoting the one that had pictures it is showing them on my screen. I shared through IMGUR, maybe that's the problem?

    Mammoth Sniper Challenge 2020 Discussion

    Maybe this will help others deciding what to pack: Here's our plan for shelter/sleep assuming worst case scenario of rain & snow. I have a hammock gear 12' journey tarp with doors on it that'll get strung up off trekking poles and staked out. Inside that tarp, there's room for two grown men...
