    Match Description:

    The Walker Draw Tactical Challenge is a hike and shoot type of match that should test your physical and mental strength. The match should test many of your skills including: hiking the terrain between stages, managing all your gear, locating targets, ranging, reading wind, and engaging targets under field conditions and various shooting positions.

    What to expect:

    1. About 2.5 miles of hiking
    2. Around 6 rifle stages and 2 pistol stages
    3. Approximately 5 to 8 targets per stage
    4. Target distances out to 1200 yards with the majority in the 200 to 500 yard range.
    5. "Multiple shots can be taken per target, but after you hit the target you must move on".
    6. Points advantage for 1st round hits.
    7. Specific time limit at each stage.
    8. Your entire time to finish the course may be timed.
    9. All gear must be carried throughout the course.

    Important READ BELOW........

    "Target location and distances will not be given at certain stages(unless you are in the limited division). You will have a specific time limit to locate, range, and engage targets. There will be roughly 45 rifle targets throughout the day, and they will more than likely require more than one round to get a confirmed hit due to the physical stress and time strain. As long as you can locate targets, you will be sending lots of rounds down range."

    Must Haves:

    1. Rifle with scope, .243 up to 300 win mag and a there is 3150fps limit.
    2. Pistol 9mm minimum with a safe quality retention holster. You will also need enough magazines to hold at least 35 rounds total maybe more.
    3. Ability to carry all your gear for the course of fire.
    4. Lunch, snacks, and water for the day.
    5. A rangefinder is not a must have, but if you do not have one you will probably be placed in the Limited division and ranges will be provided.
    6. Rifle round count will depend on the shooter, due to the fact that you "can" take multiple shots at each target until you get a confirmed hit. ""Multiple shots will more than likely be needed for each target"" There will be roughly 40 or more rifle targets. I would suggest at least 100 plus rounds to be safe its up to you. If time allows, people who want to stick around or stay the night are welcome to shoot at their leisure within reason.
    7. Rifle sling or some form of carrying your rifle when shooting the pistol stages.
    8. Eye and Ear protection.
    9. You need to know your ballistics, NO SPRAYING & PRAYING or you will be disqualified and no refunds.
    10. The most important "must have" is GUN SAFETY and MUZZLE CONTROL, if you do not practice these skills you will be disqualified with no refund.......

    For those of you who left early, you missed out on a lot of fun. One of our sponsors, Scott with American Reaper Arms brought out some of his full auto guns including my all time favorite the "Glock 18"

    I've been looking for something like this in NE and here is it! Only issue for me is I'm getting married that day... I'm guessing the Mrs-to-be would not let that fly! Will there be more than one this summer? Would love to get in on this.

    First, congrats to you and the soon to be Mrs. As far as having more of these shoots, I think it really depends on how this one goes (safety is paramount). If we fill all the slots in a reasonable time, there's a good chance it could become an annual thing.
     
    Update on sponsors:

    American Reaper Arms (aka Operator45) is going to be putting a .22 cal suppressor or half off your chosen suppressor certicate on the prize table (This is subject to change, as an action may be a possibility).

    K Fab Design will be putting a steel target up

    Redding Reloading Equipment is sending some goodies

    John Wallace From Midwest Tactical Solutions is putting a $250 certicate on the table.

    I have only received 2 entry fees as of yesterday. I have had several people tell me that they are planning on coming. If you want to secure your spot, you need to send me your entry fee. At the moment we are only going to take 20 shooters this year. Please PM me for my mailing address. Personal checks are fine.

    So far we have 9 paid shooters, with a few more that said their checks are in the mail. Also a couple of our sponsors are holding a few spots. So, if your interested don't hesitate much longer, because we are shutting it down after 20 shooters.

    I got the quote for the T-shirts, they are going to cost $25 for any size from small to 3XL. These shirts will be Under Armour's Heat Gear shirts with a "loose fit" with our logo on the back. I'm going to place an order soon, so if your interested let me know your size ASAP.
     
    Made time to blow the cobs webs off the 223 ackley AND my self last Saturday morning (damned job messing up my important tasks). Been a few months since I pulled the trigger. Time to put on my game cap and drinking face on, or something like that. Looking forward to it.
     
    Only 25 more days.....if you could please "PM me your email address", I'd like to send out an email with directions to the range along with other info on the shoot.

    Thanks
