I would like to take the time to let those interested know about the next Sniper's Challenge July 17th and 18th in Taylorsville Ga hosted at Creekside Firing Range.
This is coming directly from the website www.creeksidefiringrange.com owned and operated by Joe Harris.
Sniper Challenge
Check in 9:00 a.m. no later
Briefing 9:30 a.m.
First Shot 10:00 a.m.
The shooting day will be Saturday and we will have a field craft day on Sunday. You do not have to participate on both days. There will be a winner for the shooting portion on Saturday and a winner for the filed craft portion on Sunday.
We will have an overall winning team for the entire match. This winning team will win a larger prize for being the overall winners. The scores from Saturday and Sunday will be combined to get the total score. We are working on getting some great prizes for this match.
The challenge is set up to test your skills with a rifle while shooting at various targets at unknown distances. No one will know the course of fire until that morning. Shots will be fired from 100 yards to 600 yards. You will be required to shoot different positions and also move from one station to the next. That’s about all you need to know. Sorry, but this is a challenge and that’s all the info your going to get.
SATURDAY: WHAT YOU TAKE YOUR FIRST SHOT WITH IS WHAT YOU WILL TAKE ALL YOUR SHOTS WITH( THIS INCLUDE GEAR, WEAPON, AMMO, SPOTTING SCOPE, AND ANYTHING ELSE YOU NEED).
There will be no range finders allowed and no wind meters.
You can work as a team, if both team members are shooting then you will run it twice. No spotter will spot for more than one shooter.
This event is going to test your skills. You will shoot from various positions and various obstacles. You will be pushed to test your ability as a sniper. Be prepared to shoot in any environment and at any type of target. There will be sub moa targets and no target will be greater than 4 moa. Be prepared to shoot at targets that are not stationary also.
SUNDAY: The field craft exercises will consist of a target detection stage, a range estimation stage, and a stalk with you setting up in a firing position. The stalk stage will have spotters looking for you while you are moving and getting into position. You and your partner will do the stalk together and also set up together. We will also have a kims game for fun and have a separate prize for the winner of the kims game.
Sunday will be an extremely fun day and truly test your skills besides the shooting aspect of it.
Any questions please feel free to contact me at anytime. Joe Harris 770-634-2144
We will have prizes to give away to the top finishers and also the top teams. Sponsors will be updated as we have them confirmed.
We will limit this to the first 40 shooters confirmed.
The fee for the match will be $30.00 for each day or $50.00 for both days.
I am NOT Joe Harris, my name is Adam and I will be shooting in the match.
I look forward to seeing guys from wherever come shoot with us.
You can look back and see from other posts some of the interesting and challenging positions we have shot out of in the past. If you have any questions Ill do my best to answer them if I can. One other thing that wasnt mentioned, its July and its hot in Ga in July so bring some dry clothes ..... there will be a creek crossing stage to cool us off.

Deliverance)</span> Bail off nut deep in a fast moving creek, make you way to a log jam that serves as the staging area. When your called, you simply have to cross the log jam into a deeper pool of water, then climb a 14' Vertical river bank (Mud wall) to the shooting position (carrying your gear)with the aid of a rope and a few knots... When (if) you make the climb you are instantly in a steel framed Motor crate, you can kneel or shoot prone, but not all targets are visible prone... And the steel bars make it a rather uncomfortable experience. <span style="font-weight: bold">**By Far this was my favorite stage of the weekend**</span>
