[FONT=&amp]PLEASE GO TO www.fscweb.org LONG RANGE DAY SECTION FOR MORE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF RULES, COF, AND INFO ON THE TARGET SIZES.
[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]Though the Long Range goes “hot” at 8:00am you may come earlier to set up your equipment and to register.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]You may come later or leave earlier, you do not have to stay for the entire time.
[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]SAFETY[/FONT][FONT=&amp]–[/FONT][FONT=&amp] is the #1 PRIORITY. ANYONE CAN CALL A CEASE FIRE IF AN UNSAFE CONDITION IS OBSERVED.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]All other ranges will be closed at least until 1:30 PM or until Range items are broken down and secured. Closure signs and red “hot range” wind / signal flags will be removed as signs of completion. [/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]TARGET SIZES -[/FONT][FONT=&amp]Various reactive steel target sizes are used to simulate the size scoring rings of popular NRA, CMP, and Benchrest rifle competitions, and also duplicate the average size of the body / vital areas on several types of large, medium, and small game animals so that a shooter can properly range the target and execute the shot with instant feedback of their success (18” to 3”). A “Zombie Silhouette” target is used, 8” head 16X18” torso. Target Sizes and what they represent are listed on the FSC website.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]POSITIONS / DISTANCES:[/FONT][FONT=&amp]Long Range Day[/FONT][FONT=&amp] (LRD) at FSC consists of 3 different distances: 200M (or 220Y), 300M (or 330Y), and 385M (or 420Y) with several different sized steel targets along with optional paper targets to shoot at. Firing positions and what targets to shoot at are outlined in more detail on the FSC website. [/FONT][FONT=&amp]Be aware that if it appears that there are shooters waiting or a backlog, it is possible that[/FONT][FONT=&amp]a timed rotation of 10 to 15 minutes will be called to prevent “bench hogging”. The goal is to reduce waiting times and to allow as many shooters as possible the oppurtunity to take full advantage of LRD. [/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]2 COURSES OF FIRE[/FONT][FONT=&amp] - [/FONT][FONT=&amp]Once you pick either the Bench or Tactical Marksman course stay on the targets used in your course as the remaining ones are being used in a different course. Separate scorecards / COF handouts for the different matches will be available and distributed at registration, or can be viewed on the FSC website. [/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]BENCH / PLINKER SHOOTERS - [/FONT][FONT=&amp]There will be benches for those that do not desire to shoot the tactical course and just wants to site in their firearms and range the distances. Targets to use will be on the RIGHT SIDE of the berm. [/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]LRD TACTICAL MARKSMAN COURSE-[/FONT][FONT=&amp](A complete listing of COF & rules on the FSC website).[/FONT][FONT=&amp] MIN. of 22 rounds (1st shot hits on racks + barricade), MAX. of 40 rounds. The COF allows for promoting 1[SUP]st[/SUP] round hits and marksmanship using unused rounds at the end of the course for bonus points. There is also a “Second Chance” rule so that newcomers will not feel intimidated by more experienced shooters. Targets to use will be on the LEFT SIDE of the berm.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]In addition to shooting a rack of targets, at least 1 barricade will be placed on the firing line at any of the distances and will be changed to a different distance every month to make 4 stages. The designated target sizes to be shot from the barricade: 8” at 200M / 220Y, 12” at 300M / 330Y, 18” at 385M / 425Y. 1 shot only from the standing, kneeling, sitting, and unsupported prone positions from the barricade. One of those positions to be shot from the support (weak) side, shooters option on what position they choose to shoot support side for a total of 4 attempts being shot from BEHIND cover. “Second chance” rule does not apply when shooting a barricaded stage. Only aid to be used from the barricade is a sling or you may use the barricade itself for support. Each hit is worth 20 points from the barricade, regardless of distance or target size. [/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]TIES[/FONT][FONT=&amp] - [/FONT][FONT=&amp]in the event of a points tie, the unused round count will be used for the tie breaker. If that still results in a tie, the higher number ofhead hits on 385M Zombie silhouette will be used.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]ALTERNATE / SHARING POSITIONS ON THE FIRING LINE -[/FONT][FONT=&amp]There will be dedicated benches and open areas for Bench and Tactical courses, along with a few “alternate” areas to use for either the Bench or Tactical course’s overflow, or for positional shooting. These alternate positons will use the berm’s CENTER targets. There is usually only enough room on the firing line to support 9 shooters at a time, but 12 shooters or more can be on the line in the alternate positions if multiple shooters agree to share the targets in these alternate areas.

"CARRYING" - If you are carrying personal protection, for safety's sake, please leave it in your vehicle - [FONT=&amp]due to prone and other positions being shot,[/FONT] the muzzles are pointed back toward the firing line.

TOP PREDATOR · Apr 18, 2014

Hello all,

Just a reminder, next Saturday, April 26, will be our first 2014 Long Range Day event at FSC, 8:00am to noon.

Although I wanted to get into place many of the suggestions passed on to me last season, this everlasting winter we've had has got me behind on most of them. So for the most part, it'll be the same set up as last year for this time around unless an Easter miracle happens, and I hope to expand the amount of targets, upgrade the firing line, and a few more touches done by May.

Please bear with me as the conditions were not conducive to doing much of anything range wise, it's going to be hard pressed trying to pull off the April match with current conditions.

The club and I do appreciate the support from the shooters last year, and hope to see you again this year!

**apparantly the TRL is dead, matches will be updated in the regular "tactical shooting competitions" section so as not to have dual threads http://www.snipershide.com/shooting...012-2014-factoryville-pa-long-range-days.html

Walt, Thanks for a great day of shooting! Your efforts are appreciated.

TOP PREDATOR · Apr 27, 2014

^ Thanks, I sincerely appreciate the support, especially from the Hide members that were there in this season opener of the sophomore year of the shoot.

At the end of the day, we had a record attendance of 26 shooters, which included 2 females and 3 junior shooters. Considering what the local weather forecast was (thanks to above for not a drop of rain till 20 minutes after the last shot) and competing with the opening day of youth turkey season, i was a bit flabbergasted and humbled by the headcount.

I still have to knock off some rough edges for the present setup, but hopefully if 20+ shooters will be the new norm, and with those type of cards in hand I can get the club to do some serious upgrades to the firing line and provide more shooting opportunities down range in a quicker fashion. I don't mind asking for and I'm pretty sure the club wouldn't mind providing some investment to git r done.

Next shoot is May 24th.

Walt thanks for the shoot, I really liked the chance to try out a few of my rifles. Nice meeting you and Mike. I'll be back

Would this be something a beginner could enter?

TOP PREDATOR · Jun 29, 2014

yes, absolutely. as it's more of a mid range distance, it would be a great platform to get the feet wet without too much pressure.

as far as the TRL, if you need the points i'll convert what we do to them, however i still have no clue where or whom is administering the TRL. i don't believe the TRL left the development stage.

ArmorTac · Jul 23, 2014

Really considering making this match. Any suggestions for a hotel? It's a little far for a one day round trip.

sorry about the late reply, probably too late now, but PM sent

mostly mom and pops in the immediate area, most chains within .5hr of travel.

microtel is out about .5hr, i think they offer 90.00 rooms.

i started doing monthly bumps in the tactical matches section, as this TRL association stuff seemed to fizzle.
