Gastonia, NC Sniper Comp (9/2-5/09)

[Smash]

The 3rd annual Gastonia Sniper comp will be held in Sept of 2009. Several new teams competed in 2008 taking the event to a whole new level.

Spent alot of time at the SHOT show lining up sponsors and this years prizes are looking even better.


Check out www.gastoniasniper.org

IM me with questions and I will see what I can do to get them answered.

You others can show up but Naugatuck PD will be taking the top prize this year. Ray and Ian are unstopable!

Re: Gastonia, NC Sniper Comp (9/2-5/09)

[Rob01]

Re: Gastonia, NC Sniper Comp (9/2-5/09)

Re: Gastonia, NC Sniper Comp (9/2-5/09)

Naugatuck owns a rifle that isn't a flintlock ? Did they finally trade in their horses for cars or are they getting trailered down to NC...

Flintlocks and horse's, now that would be interesting. Ride the horse in, dismount, slide thru the droppings, pop up, wipe off, shoot, ka pow! Three (non horse drawn carriage) slots left.

Let me know if you have any questions and I will get you in touch with the right person.

Re: Gastonia, NC Sniper Comp (9/2-5/09)

Y'all better just bring you 2nd place shoes. My relief is at DHS and he is a frikking machine, OK maybe a Farm Animal, there may be an airborne CG shooter this year going up the tower.

Me, I'll be sitting in the vendor tent, sipping cool ones, scoping the babes and showing you all what you could have had if you called sooner

Cheers,

Doc

 

[Busby.]

Re: Gastonia, NC Sniper Comp (9/2-5/09)

We are not worried about DHS. Coastie and his partner are not winning this year if we have to push them off the tower.

Isn't this LEo or Military only?

Re: Gastonia, NC Sniper Comp (9/2-5/09)

It is also televised...

 

[Edgewater]

Re: Gastonia, NC Sniper Comp (9/2-5/09)

Is this going to be webcast or televised? If so, When and what time?

 

[Busby.]

Re: Gastonia, NC Sniper Comp (9/2-5/09)

Last year spectators were allowed the last day I believe. Time Warner was there filming and I think it aired locally. All the teams got a disc of the footage.

[Gpdsniper110]

Re: Gastonia, NC Sniper Comp (9/2-5/09)

No TV this year..That would cost us about $50,000 and no sponsors to pick it up this year..spectators are welcome Thursday friday and saturday

 

[Gpdsniper110]

Re: Gastonia, NC Sniper Comp (9/2-5/09)

its open to spectators..the range is on Tulip Drive. The road is only about 10 blocks long and there is a big sign for it.

 

[Gpdsniper110]

Re: Gastonia, NC Sniper Comp (9/2-5/09)

Tulip drive in Gastonia..just off 321 Near I 85. The PD number is 704-866-6702 for any directions to the range at any time

Re: Gastonia, NC Sniper Comp (9/2-5/09)

Looking forward to meeting the hide family. I will be one of the guys running around to ensure you have a great experience. Let me know if I can help you with anything.

Re: Gastonia, NC Sniper Comp (9/2-5/09)

Re: Gastonia, NC Sniper Comp (9/2-5/09)

We will find you an artery clogging burger, no problem.

Most of the pics of Mo are from SHOT in Vegas and you know what they say about Vegas, "what happens in Vegas". She is pretty cool and with Original SWAT. You can't miss her.

Naugatuck PD and Knight11B4's Army unit were one two as of yesterday. Today's final event usually shakes up the final standings a bit. Great weather.

Final results should be up tonight.

Teams and spectators, post up your comments on this years event and suggestions for next year.

Re: Gastonia, NC Sniper Comp (9/2-5/09)

Damn I wanted to go, but the finances and time were just not in order. I couldn't even scratch up the cash to get to the USMCS/SA meeting.

Maybe next year I can figure out a way to get the Dept. to sponsor me.

Re: Gastonia, NC Sniper Comp (9/2-5/09)

Congratulations to Henley and Busby of DeSoto County SWAT.

Nothing but respect here for the U.S. Army 3rd ID, Fort Stewart, Georgia team. I only had the 1-2 finishers prior to leaving. I spoke with your team several times, nothing but a class act.

Re: Gastonia, NC Sniper Comp (9/2-5/09)

Congrats guys...good to meet most of you face to face...hope to see you again in 2010. If any of you know of any other decent Sniper competitions let us know.. We are looking for some that we can attend.

 

[KNIGHT11B4]

Re: Gastonia, NC Sniper Comp (9/2-5/09)

Thnx Smash. We had a blast and learned from everyone. you guys did a hell of a job. Cant wait to shoot with you all again.

Terry you are so modest - they are shooting your rifles !!

nice work , sir, as always very nice !

i am updating our page right now; top ten teams are listed

 

[doc76251]

Re: Gastonia, NC Sniper Comp (9/2-5/09)

Just got back off the road from Gastonia. If you are LEO you NEED to do this comp. Capt. Duncan and the entire Gastonia PD crew as well as the entire TOWN of Gastonia are absolutely top notch. Find one other town that not only supports a "SNIPER" conference but actually publicly promotes it.

I will say this is the hardest comp I ever did not shoot. After being a competitor last year I was dieing to get out there and run and gun but they don't have an "Old Retired Farts Division" HINT, HINT!!!!! The level of professionalism displayed by all the competitors and the staff was absolutely over the top. Even as a "vendor" I didn't feel the least bit put aside.

Congrats to all the competitors I don't think any one came away with out gaining something.

Cheers,

Doc

Re: Gastonia, NC Sniper Comp (9/2-5/09)

Does anyone have any pictures I can get from them? My BN CDR wants some pics of us competing. Its funny how they start caring when we place third.
