2nd Annual Michigan Precision Rifle Challenge 2 slots left.

Wondering if we are allowed to use ballistic calculators for ranging and calculations?
Are we able to use rangefinders?
Shooting next weekend and want to do some practice for the comp, if we are allowed to use these tool I want to practice with them.

Thanks

Just show up with mad skills and you will do ok... This year we will not have any targets larger than 10 inches, that's all I can say about that. Learn unsupported shooting quick.

Tripods allowed?

=< 30 cal
Not allowed to return to vehicle

These are the "official" rules I see. Having shot last year, there was no pack inspection for prohibited items, and we used rangefinders all day. I brought shooting sticks but never used them. Didn't bring a lunch and regretted it. One thing they did was occassionally require some very physical activity while lugging all your gear.

So unless I see more "official" prohibitions, I'm assuming you are free to bring what you want. Even a gallon of ice cream if you want. But you may have to scale a wall with it in your pack.

"where can i get molle attachment for said gallon of ice cream?"
 
Unless I missed something, the 23rd is the first so called practice. I can't say for sure but don't bet on shooting the stages. That would give those that attend an unfair advantage over those that can't. I've never seen a shooting the stages at any advanced practice. If you have solid zeros, that's all you need. If you don't...

...A quote from earlier in this thread. How physical is this activity? Could you give me an example of the most physical activity?

Rich, if it is safe to assume that 150 rounds are adequate for 2 days, then 75 rounds are adequate for Saturday? I'm only thinking about the "not going back to the truck" rule.

Last year we had to scale a wall, it was a prop with a wall 7 or 8 feet high, with boards spaced so it could be used like a ladder. It was attached to an elevated platform. You scaled the wall and shot off the platform. Additionally, the logistics of the range require quite a bit of walking between stages.

My favorite ice cream is mint chocolate chip BTW...
 
2 spots left as 2 decided they could not attend. LMK

Thanks

Rich, have you given any thought to making your match a PRS match? As far as I can tell, the only thing lacking is room for 50 shooters, and signing up with the PRS.

I understand you're still getting things rolling, but something to give some thought to...

See you in a couple weeks.

+1, and looking at the 2015 post, Michigan isn't even represented and that's just wrong... unless were all maple leaves now, LOL.
 
That's probably not going to happen as I cant even get 4 or 5 people to RO for the match. The people I get that want to help want to shoot and really have no idea how a match of this nature runs. Bluewater only gives a few days to do all the prep work for the match. Bottom line is I need help and I need experienced people. Another issue is the range is a touch to small for my liking I wish I could get 800 yards in but that another detail. If I cant get dedicated experienced people to help me Im probably not going to do it anymore, its a shame because we have some great sponsors this year, our name is getting out there and I notice our views on the hide are pretty significant to some of the other matches. Another issue is I have to give a chunk of change to the range which limits our operating budget but that's the price of doing business. I take nothing from the entries and try to give everything back to the people who attend. Believe me I have high hopes of success but success is not a one man show for this venue, not that its just me doing all the work as there are 2 others helping but I keep trying to be optimistic.

We will start to setup on Thursday. Round count is still around 150 give or take. No zero show up with your gear ready to go. I cant wait to watch you guys go thru this thing. Going to try for 20 stages this year with high round counts at every stage. Get you positional on and you will need to think about how to approach stages.
