Covid Precision Rifle Match

[Birch Creek]

Folks,

Due to the large amount of match cancellations, I got with a pile of the folks in the industry and set up a virtual match.

Granted not everyone will be able to participate considering local ordinances and such but it will still be pretty fun.

Instead of a first and second place etc, it will be a participation type match with a random draw at the end of the time period allotted.

You will need a 300 yard range for fullbore or 100 for 22 and the appropriate 2 moa target. A 5 gallon bucket, a 4 ft ladder, a chair and a tripod.

Video yourself doing the stages and poston Instagram or Facebook tagging all of our sponsors and using the hashtag #covidprecisionriflematch

This will go from March 28 - April 11. Drawing will be held at 2 pm MST on April 12.

Sponsors are:
Leupold
Proof
Lilja
Criterion
Vortex
Manners
Anarchy Outdoors
Warhorse Development
Spotter Up
Boltgunners
And more!

Amazing idea! All the ranges by me are closed for now unfortunately.

 

[DairyDictator]

This is something I can even do at my brother in laws farm correct?

Maintain at least 6' from any other living creature and you should be good

 

[Bb214]

Good deal, I can make this happen probably this week. This is awesome!

 

[sleeplz]

Gotta find a ladder somewhere.

 

[FJBPrecision]

Very cool idea. Buddy of mine and I be social distancing at the range this week so this sounds like a good way to get practice in

 

[wbrenner]

I’m calling any get together with rifles or alcohol “enhanced” social distancing!

 

[Mongo610]

Do we need to post all the stage videos to be entered or will 1 or 2 work? Not trying to blow up Instagram feeds with my mediocre shooting.....

I think you can post more than one video at a time. So you don’t have to have 5 posts.

Besides that you could always post it with no sound!! And it’s just for fun anyway. Nobody is keeping score, but we are keeping track of how many stages you complete.

Bummer! I have thought of the folks that don’t have a range open and I may do a dryfire give away after this.

Excellent idea sir! well done.

 

[1moaoff]

Nope, no Instagram or Facebook.

 

[EN2722]

@ThreeBravo...Wish there was a range open around us!

Could always drive up to the stumps and "make" a range

 

[chevy_man]

Damn, now I just need to figure out how and what Instagram is to follow sponsors.

Do we get bonus points for using your bags?

 

[FJBPrecision]

Got these taped today. I’ll get them on social media and tag all the companies today or tomorrow. It was a fun time for sure, thanks again for doing this !

 

[Sniperwannabee]

Awesome idea too bad I don’t do the whole social media thing

 

[Sniperwannabee]

Maybe we can just take videos and send them to birch creek

 

[stello1001]

This is awesome!!!

I may do it but I need to create a 2 MOA target

**edit**
actually, I don't own a tripod lol

 

[mercracing]

Hopefully can do it this weekend!

 

[Olen_4504]

This is awesome. i'm going to try to squeeze it in this weekend.


6 of us did something very similar last week. i made up 3 stages to do at 100y shooting at 2" squares on paper.

we scored Hits (inside or outside the square), group size, time and submitted them to eachother in a group chat.

we are gonna try to do 3 stages a weekend and keep a running leaderboard

it's really telling to shoot at paper and see your weaknesses

 

[IronOperator87]

Great idea? Going to give it a shot this weekend with my 22. Too bad it’s not a 3” plate @100 as I have about 5 and no 2”... Gives me something to do in the shop.

 

[Olen_4504]

i have a 100y range and no .22

it would be sweet if i could do this with my centerfire on a 2 or 3" plate at my house instead of having to go to the private gun club

 

[Birch Creek]

Do it on paper at a 2 moa target. It’s mainly about having fun and getting out if you are able.

I’ll see about whatwe can do for our non-social media friends. The video sent to me or maybe your videos posted on this thread might work.

And if you use my bags even better! But we even have Cliff Reasor on board with us. So, really I’m fine with anything.

awesome! i think the intent is still there no matter what we are shooting at.

thanks for putting this together!

 

[Slambert008]

Man i wish I could get in on this. But eastern NC and it’s ranges suck!

 

[Birch Creek]

Ok, folks, we will allow you to post the videos on here and we will enter you into the contest. But I would ask, and this is the honor thing, for you to send a note to the sponsors and thank them. A thank you goes a long way.

 

[uffduh]

Might need to come up with a course of fire for the bug-a-salt with the ranges in my AO all shut.

Grab a cardboard and cut a 2x2 square out of it. Lay it over the 3"plate and paint that area only. Any hit out of the 2" painted zone is considered a miss...

@D_TROS I am the king at cantmissfastenough

Nice work man! Yeah I started exercising again just the other day after watching myself in that video. I think I've put on the covid19 pounds since Shot. Sad. I've got all kinds of excuses. Boils down to laziness and poor eating. I'm on it. Goal is to drop 30lbs for starters.

Got mine posted up today. It was a blast to do! Thanks @Birch Creek

 

[zeroz]

Got out this last weekend and shot the match with my better half. Since she's a FB, IG person ( and a hell of a lot better looking than me anyway) I video'd her and she posted it up. She had a blast! I may have created a monster.

 

[AKMarty]

Thanks again for putting this together @Birch Creek ! This was my first competition!

I bribed my daughter to go and be my RO/camera operator. I don't have any of the social media that you originally requested. Here is my video of the compiled stages. Video has a thanks to all the sponsors as well.



The best part was after I shot the stages, my daughter decided that she could do better than me and asked to shoot the rifle.

After her first 5 rounds she says "I am better than you Dad."

I hope I set the hook!

Awesome! It’s good to create monsters sometimes!

 

[Mk32784]

Thanks for all that planned this and the sponsors. I'll share my attempt here, but I already did the instgram thing with the tag so don't count me as a double entry.

 

[mercracing]

@AKMarty and @zeroz, good job getting your daughters shooting!!
