you and others on this thread have a funny way of growing your sport.
First a shooter new the sport works his but off does great at his first match and you guys run him down.
Second you guys on here do nothing but complain about the match from the RO's, not being able to see built impact on the ground, you guys want the targets numbered, and you need to be entertained in between stages.
I believe the title of this match was sniper challenge, and I don't think you or most of the people that have posted on this thread have a clue what the duties and responsibility of a true sniper is in the field.
So I think you need to decide if the people on this thread want to shoot a precision match or a sniper match. Because I have new for a lot of people on here the Mamoth sniper chalange was just that a great SNIPER CHALANGE, and I can't wait for the summer match when the shooter spotter teams are going to have to work twice as hard talking to each other the get on target. I also think most of the stages the shooter should have to mil targets on the clock while shooting.

If growing this sport means including you, and your attitude I think we can do without it.
No clue what is it like, Rifles Only has been doing LR Tactical Matches since the 1990s, part of Sniper's Paradise, then starting around 2003 for Sniper's Hide. Our prize table is over $100k, we sell out the competition in the 1st minute of registration, and you don't see threads like this about people of all types bitching.
No clue, meaning me, graduating Sniper School, no clue.. Snipers don't carry handguns, snipers don't shoot carbines, no clue... where did you earn your clue ?
Old Shooters, New Shooters, Military shooter, LE Shooters, all get something out of it. We have them all at our matches, National and International shooters.
As stated we include, Long Range, to 1000 yards, but we have also shot to 1250, we have shot as close as 11ft with a bolt gun, we include handgun stages, carbine from a helicopter, and everything in the middle. We limit UKD stages because they take too long for what we do... but we include targets of various sizes, and ranges, we don't do it where everything is an even number.
Movers, with Rifle, and handgun, events like mentioned, shot from a rifle, up, sling your rifle, move and dragged an 80lbs bag, while engaging targets with your handgun ,to point where you drop it and then move to a final rifle stage.
Run & Guns, we did a 300 yard live fire O Course that took the competitors 10 minutes each to complete...
Please, don't tell us we don't know what you are doing, or have done, we do it, twice a year, every years since 2005...
I own this place, I also host a match and do training, however I allow free and open advertisement of both training and competitions... maybe that needs to change because you don't get it and are really pissing me off with all your buddies coming on to defend the unique nature of what YOU Only know how to do... I have an idea, maybe everyone can promote their matches here but you, because until now, we have never had an issue like this so maybe I need to find the source of this issue and remove it... permanently.
Maybe you need to get a clue or you can think you are in competition with me and I can show how that works.
