AL DMR Match

[PBWalsh]

Hello,

I've been able to take over as a match director for a local club in Alabama at Brock's Gap Training Center. We've had the match for about 2-3 years and folks seem to enjoy it as we've seen numbers increase from the 4 shooters we had at the first match to around 25.

Just wanted to welcome competitors to the match. I'm going to do my best to run the match efficiently and let me know if you have any questions.

I’ve never shot a DMR style match, but I’m within striking distance. Can you give a little more information? You can PM if you don’t want to clutter up the thread. Others might like to know as well.

The match consist of a mix between USPSA and PRS style stages, ranging from 3 - 700 yards and shot with both pistol and rifle. Stages are timed. Some stages require the use of both firearms while others only use a rifle or pistol. Most stages will require movement and good weapons handling while moving around obstacles.

Thats a general statement though, do you have specific questions that I can answer better?

Any rifle and pistol is welcome as long as you have a rifle sling and a secure pistol holster. See link above for classifications. Highly recommended you have some type of ballistic data on your rifle.

Sounds like a blast! Does the range have a social media page I can follow for updates? I’ve shot some regions PRS/NRL and rimfire matches over the last few years. I assume I could probably run it with a midsized CZ and my Valkyrie AR.

Brock's Gap media is lackluster at best. I am currently trying to get approval for a DMR specific media page (IG and Youtube) but I have currently heard no word of approval from the club board.

Best bet for now is to just look on their site at the calender and monthly matches.

Match has been cancelled. Range is not yet open or completed. Hopefully the April match is a go.

Any chance the start time could be earlier ?

 

[PBWalsh]

For future matches? We may vould consider it, but 1:00 works for most so they can go to church and then come to the match.

Of course I'll be watching church online due to doing match prep the afternoon prior and morning of.

Yup I understand if Sundays the only day available then it works best after church.
