I would love to shoot this but I have a prior commitment with the Boy Scouts. Maybe next time.

 

[locked&loaded]

How will a team running a .308 and a 5.56 be scored if 5.56 is classified differently?
Scored individually or as a team?

 

[FLS]

They will be scored in open division. Both shooters Have to shoot 223 to be scored in that division.

 

[locked&loaded]

So if I shoot my .308 bolt gun, my partner can't run his 5.56 gas gun.
Correct?

 

[SpectreTargets]

In the 223/5.56 class both must use this caliber, if either competitor uses other caliber rifle that team will be shooting the open class but one 223/5.56 cal. rifle is allowed in open per team.

 

[aviumvenator]

What is the par time per stage?

 

[FLS]

It will depend on the stage. Most will be from 180 - 300 seconds.
Generally you will have 5-6 reactive steel targets per stage that each shooter will engage during the teams allotted par time. Some stages the two team members will engage the target array together. The team stages will have more targets. Targets not hit will accrue a penalty and this will added to the teams stage time. Team with the lowest time (least misses) wins.

 

[FLS]

Some folks have asked about the retention holster. Any holster that will retain your pistol during vigorous movement will be fine. We don't want anyone getting a DQ because a hot pistol fell out during a stage. Our goal,is for everyone to be safe and have a great time banging steel.

 

[SChunter]

Just a couple of days away - in talking with Lee, there is a 300-yard range that can be used for zero confirmation prior to match commencement.

Looking forward to a fun day of shooting!

 

[58blackflag]

Hope you guys have an awesome match! I'm completely bummed I will be out of town for it! Happy shooting all!

 

[FLS]

Finished target setup this afternoon. The owner of Spectre Target showed up with brand new steel for us to abuse and a pair of uppers he picked up on his way down provided by Del-Ton for prizes. Its going to be a fun match that will test all the shooters skills. The team stage will be a blast, with both teammates sending lead down range simultaneously. Sticking to the DM format, we've put 2 MOA steel from 113 yds to 530 yds. One of our sponsors The Gun Store, is heading down in his 5 ton in the AM. He's generously providing it as a stage prop. It's going to be a good time!

 

[SChunter]

Inaugural DM event for Palmetto Precision series is in the books! Graced by fantastic weather, great shooters and a challenging course of fire, it was a great day on the range - special thanks to all the shooters that came out to support the event, the sponsors, and Backwoods Quail Club for a first class venue (and some amazing chicken bog)!

Hope to see everyone soon at the next event - and Lee, I'm developing a love/hate (mostly hate) relationship for the gopher.

 

[Red_SC]

A couple of pics from the match, it was a great time. My partner and I were killing it, we thought we had first in the bag easily before earning a DQ at the last stage. Great stages though, I particularly liked the one where we shot simultaneously. I ended up taking a couple of his handgun targets and he got one of my rifle targets. I like the teamwork aspect, it lets you use each other's strengths rather than it just being the total of two shooters times.

Probably the best looking match shirt I've received, too!

 

[Red_SC]

Front view of the match shirts. I forgot, a huge shout out to Spectre Targets, Del-Ton, and Carolina Specialties for donating to the match!

 

[FLS]

The match went well, just a little long. That was totally my fault for not keeping my squad moving. The facilities are great and were already planning or next match in March 2015.
I want to give a big thanks to everyone that came out to shoot and to all our Sponsors for being so generous with their support.
Del-Ton
Spectre Targets
Tactical Firearm Finishes
Carolina Specialties
The Gun Store
I also want to congratulate our Open division and overall match winners, Gabe and Chad, and our Limited / 223 division winners, Mitch Henke and Harry Meyer. Great shooting guys!

LEE you hold a great match! That was one of the most fun matches Ive had in a while, even with that FUCKING ticket!!

 

[FLS]

Thanks, we are working on some pics and video of match. Think there may be some of Wavepounder floating around...

Here's Pump Jr aka Wavepounder, displaying the latest in Wiebad Fall fashion...

Now everyone knows my call sign for my other job in the adult film industry...thanks Dur.

This match was a lot of fun with good stages and a good group of guys. Can't wait to make the next one!

 

[Red_SC]

Look, Lee's famous!

[IRC6.8]

Great pics... carrying a 260lb partner around all day will wear you out! Had a great time and look forward to the next one!

This looked like it was a great match. Would an out-of-stater be able to enter this match in the spring? Assuming of course that I can fit it into a trip to see my Daughter and family in Summerville at that time. I should be able to strong arm my shooting buddy to be a teammate.

 

[FLS]

Anybody can enter. We'll put up a link as soon as we firm up a date for March.
Plans are to have a match in late March, another in May, and then late Sept - Early Oct.
the range is also a commercial hunting operation. We have to work around quail season Nov - March, and April turkey season.

 

[lash]

Great! Ill keep my eyes open for the match postings.
