2014 2nd Annual Matt Karstetter Memorial Field Match, Wilbur WA

Clint,
I would recommend you build the venue the way you see fit.
After running matches for the last 15 years, I've found it too easy to fall into the trap of trying to make everyone happy.
Once shooters start shooting a mix of firearms in a match, be it a precision rifle match or not, they tend to get the urge for matches that utilize different firearms and skill sets.
Either way, I'm there and will have a blast as I did last year.

Thanks Jim! I have some things in mind that should please everyone...well it pleases me and that is what counts ;)

No shooter list yet but forthcoming. I am not shooting Jake...one less person you have to worry about beating you ;)

Mostly the typical shooters from the NW matches. Match is full so should be about 50 shooters
 
Good deal, I will keep an eye open for the list, just hoping to carpool with someone from my area if there is anyone here.

Thank you for not shooting, I was getting worried:p

Thanks Pat! I have you on the list. Bring your stick if you wanna poke around. ROs that are there Friday afternoon can shoot the course after we get it set up.

100 rds rifle and 80 rounds pistol (with 3 mags) is more than enough ammo. We didnt have time to incoporate the gas gun this year as the initial flyer stated.
 
Looks like I am going to make this event as well. And I just bought my first pistol (a Springfield XDm 5.25) a couple of weeks ago, so it should be perfect for this match. Looking forward to it - should be a blast.

I will bring my XDm as well Shamir. I had some work done to it so you can compare factory to mine and see what options are available.

Awesome. Mine's the .40 cal, but I've been thinking of getting a trigger job and .357 sig drop-in barrel. I need to stop tinkering with my guns and shoot them more though :).

Clint, is the one mile shot something we can get dialing in on before the match?

And for the one mile side match shot, will it be one shot or how will that go?

Thanks

Jake
Noooo Praktiss cept for meeeeee Booooowhaaaaaahaaaaaahaaaaahaaahaaha!!!!!!:p:p:p

We will be having the 1750yd competition again this year. Any caliber below a .300 WM can shoot. Whomever hits the 2'x2' steel plate wins 50% of the pot. $20 to get in, 5 shots. Last year an 11yr old boy and 15yr old boy split the pot with getting 2nd round hits.
This was from early in the thread, not sure about caliber restrictions on the Loooonnnnnggggg shot.

No practice on the miler until after the side match is over. Same as info posted below, 5 shots, $20. Fewest amount to hit wins half the pot. For a tiebreaker it will be the most hits of 5. If that doesn't work, a shoot off, if that doesn't work, we split the pot

I got a request for the match flier with event details. No idea who asked for it or on what forum. If you do not have the flier that gives directions, round counts, etc. PM me with your email address and I will get it to you.

Thanks!
 
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but....shooters will not have to dig hole for a Class 1 download. I have scheduled for porta-potties, whether they make it or not is out of my hands!!!

Since I'm fulll of shit, I guess I better bring a big shovel just in case. ;)

That being said, Clint how's the access road to the staging/parking area for a low rider chevy malibu on it's last legs? Would it be better if I brought the Tonka-Toy-ota truck? PM me your phone number.

Haha!! Marty rode his Vespa up there last year with no problems so you should be fine!! I havent been up there this year but it should be maintained.
