Shooters,
As MS Series Match #5 is rapidly approaching, i thought that I would forward some information regarding the shoot that you might find helpful. Each Match Director has their own outlook on a Match, and I thought that you might find it helpful to know some of these thoughts.
This Match will be based upon skills directly related to an operationally shooter. This Match will test your ability to think your way through a problem, and shoot from a variety of improvised and awkward shooting positions. While a Ghilli Suit and Running Shoes will not be required, the ability to shoot from cover, shoot from improvised rests and the ability to quickly move into and out of a position will benifit the shooter. The Round Count for the Match is sixty-five (65) and there are seven (7) Stages planned.
Unless you are shooting a rifle with a fixed internal magazine, all shooters will need to have at least two (2) magazines with a minimum capacity of five (5) rounds. Several Stages will permit the use of support devices (tripods, bipods, bags, rucksacks, shooting partners ...) however if you plan to use it, you will have to carry it and move with it, throughout the entire Match. Any gear left behind will be donated to the prize table.
While we can not shoot before 1000 hours on Sunday, the first stage (non-shooting) will begin on the 600 yard line at 0930 hours. Registration will begin at 0830 hours and the briefing will begin at 0845 hours.
Please be ready to report to the 600 yard line at 0930 hours with all or your gear for the day. Expect the unexpected, and remain flexible and this will be fun.
Thank you for your attention and cooperation.
