The last Match I was at was won by Hunters who have never been to a match. So you have nothing to worry about, unless of course you don't hunt either.

Spent the last three days setting up. Stage descriptions will be up by Tuesday mid day.

How did those trucks work out for u? You might have to get a little gas.

 

[1b375]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - July 2011

They worked great. Thanks a ton. Those little bastards are tough on 6'2" people but they really helped out.

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - July 2011

GTHappy,

Sounds like I just need rifles and ammo. You already have everything else!!!!!!!

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - July 2011

we got extended cabs and crew cabs as well just none in stock.

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - July 2011

Well, I do hunt a lot, and if we go to the compound bows on the targets then I might just kick a few asses in that area. Rifles, not so much.

You will do fine ..... you have some good shooters and some friendly folks in your squad.

If you need help I am sure if you ask DT1 he will help you in any way he can. </div></div>

Yep, there will be lots of nice, helpful folks there to assist you, just ask. GTHappy provided a very comprehensive equipment list (not sure about the glow sticks...). I'm sure magazines in cargo pockets will work nicely, don't sweat the equipment too much. Bring what Joe suggests and you'll be just fine.

The main things to bring are rifles, ammo and a good attitude. If you plan to have fun, you likely will.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: ARPredatorHunter</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I was only planning on bringing 3 mags and carrying those in my pants pocket.</div></div>

ARP, I've got more packs than I know what to do with. I can bring you a traditional "style" pack or I can bring you a web gear type of set up. I'm driving so it's no biggie for me to throw it in the car. I've got mag pouches and everything. Just let me know.

Edited to add:

If anyone needs anything, if I have it I'll bring it.

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - July 2011

ARPH, you'll do fine, just have fun.

Mike, you're a good guy no matter what Chiller says about you.

 

[DT1]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - July 2011

Mike is indeed a good man and Sobrbiker gives excellent advice. Same offer from me, if anyone is in need of a particular piece of equipment let me know (or Mike). Send me a PM. If I have it, I'll bring it for you to borrow.

 

[ARP]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - July 2011

Thanks Mike for the offer. I do have an Eberlestock X1 that I use from time to time to pack some gear and my bow on extended hunts. I guess it does have a gun scabbard on it too, but I normally just tuck that part up into the pack since it is of little use to my normal goings. I will just bring it even though I don't know what all I am going to put into it. I usually find that if you have room for something then you end up carrying it. I am old and fat and out of shape so I need to keep weight to a minimum.

I am going to have fun regardless. In the beginning of all this I asked Joe if I could just show up and watch the thing. He said he didn't mind me driving out there to watch. Then OSU graciously offered to let me shoot with him even though he knew that by doing so he had just sacrificed his chances. So here I go.

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - July 2011

Hey Joe

When will we know what stages we choose Primary/Secondary and which stages you choose?

Thanks

 

[1b375]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - July 2011

When you get there. I am considering letting the teams choose on every stage. It would still be 3 and 3.

 

[Big Dog Steel]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - July 2011

Joe,
For what its worth, I think it would be good to let the teams choose. It seems like the fairest way to approach it. Everyone gets to pick the stages and stategize about which stages the secondary shooter runs the primary and vice-versa.

[GTHappy]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - July 2011

Looks like stage descriptions are up.

Sounds like it's going to be fun. We get to shoot one of these. I've never shot one, but from what I've heard, it's all about the timing.

 

[WTW]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - July 2011

The stages sound like they are going to be a challenge but a lot of fun. Cant wait until this weekend!!

+1 For this thought

+1 for letting us choose who shoots what stage... PLEASE....

[RufDog]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - July 2011

I thought the match was good. Every match and every M.D. has their own style. I would have preferred more conventional positions but everybody shot the same stages. Fair is fair and we can't control environmentals, only correct for them. JOE did great. I was challenged.

Sir, thank you so much for the awesome pictures!

 

[DT1]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - July 2011

I also thoroughly enjoyed the match!

The match was well organized and ran smoothly. Stages (to me) were a nice mix of known and unknowned distances. Many makeable shots along with difference makers to seperate the crowd. Joe definitely considered and applied a lot of the feedback he received from the January match. Thanks for you hard work in putting this match on!

Congratulations to Tom and Ryan on the win! Special shout out to Mike P and Marcus H for the outstanding job RO'ing squad 2. Thanks for keeping us on track and smiling throughout the weekend.

Thanks also to the sponsors for their support and generous donations to the prize table.

[KNIGHT11B4]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - July 2011

Thanks to everyone for the kind words.. and of course my partner Tom (taliv)for shooting with me.

Another thanks to all the match sponsors.

The biggest thanks to US Optics for sponsoring us and South West Ammo for loading outstanding ammo. I cant say enough good things about USO and South West Ammo.

Squad three... you guys rock had a blast shooting with you.

It was awesome to meet people who I have shared so many conversations with, and to see faces I havent seen in awhile.

Ryan

 

[taliv]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - July 2011

seriously, and a HUGE thanks to the ROs who worked their butts off

 

[B.Morgan]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - July 2011

Squad 3 kicked ass. Knight, Taliv, good shooting. Had a great time hanging out with everyone. Didn't meet anyone I wouldn't want to meet again. RO's, great job and thanks for all the hard work so we could have a good time.

Mike, had a great time shooting with a freakin BADASS and look forward to doing it again

Dave, remember, what happens at Mammoth stays Mammoth but I would go to the doctor and get that checked out if I were you!

TEAM HONEY BADGER!

 

[Greene]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - July 2011

Can't say anything that hasn't already been said.

Squad 3 was a bunch of great people. Although the guy in the pink shirt made me a little nervous. Just kidding. Loved shooting with every one of them.

Thank's to the RO's for their time on this shoot. Good job guys.

Big thanks to all the sponsor's for the prizes.

I learned a lot at this shoot.

HONEY BADGERS!!!

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - July 2011

I am not a photographer but here are a few pictures of squad 2. should have taken more.

+1 for squad three great group. Thank you to our RO's great job!! great job to tom and ryan!

 

[THE Dave]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - July 2011

Pimp, what we had was special, but I think you're right.

I want to congratulate Ryan and Tom for bringing home the gold. All their hard work paid off.

HONEY BADGERS!!!!

 

[Hellbender]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - July 2011

I want to thank Joe, the RO's and the sponsors for putting on a fun match.

I think he incorporated many of the suggestions received from the AAR's from the winter match.

The stages reminded me a lot of Tiger Valley (but with harder, longer shots at Mammoth) and without the IPSC style (speed divided by score or whatever) scoring they use at TV (which I don't like).

Congrat's to Ryan and Tom on the win!

I'll be back.

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - July 2011

Sounds like a good time was had by all.

What cartridges were the competitors using?

 

[Breeze260]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - July 2011

I would like to thanks everyone involved with this match. I had a blast and was definitely challenged. Thanks to the sponsors for your generous donations.
Special thanks to my RO's James & Katie for a safe match.

Squad 4 here is a start to all the pics I have... enjoy
