Mason dixon sniper series match one - registration open
- Thread starter fargo007
- Start date
Josh, I might be able to help, depending what you're looking for. Hit me up in a PM/email and I'll just trade out for something if I can help.
Can anyone tell me what a typical course of fire would be for either comp. Is it out to 1000 or mainly 500 and in? would like to register but would like to know a brief overview of distances and what kind of shooting would be done before committing to the 5 hour drive.
thank you,
thank you,
The match is now full guys.
Wow, I'm really surprised it filled up this fast.
buckskin - The matches are held at two different clubs. One shoots to 600Y, the other to 637Y. In both cases you would expect to see:
1 - A difficult, high value CBS.
2 - Shots on steel targets, usually 2MOA or so out to full distance.
3 - Moving targets at any possible distance the range supports.
4 - Some type of physical effort. Some running, negotiating obstacles.
5 - Position shooting and being forced to fire from positions you would probably never choose on your own.
6 - Using your scope reticle to solve problems. Range estimation, holdovers, holdunders, etc.
Keep an eye out for the next one.

Waiting list?
I finally got cleared from our client that I would not have to travel that weekend just this morning. Came here to register, and... full? Damn.
It is cool to see the series be so popular. I had no idea I should have been rushing to clear my calendar. I won't make that mistake twice!

It was very popular last year and the matches all sold out fast. This year, with two ranges on board, more folks knowing about it, and a limited number of spots available, I think all the matches will sell out fast.
The irony is that I don't really travel for work all that much anymore. In fact, now that this trip was cancelled, no other trips on the horizon that I'm aware of. Haven't been anywhere since last Oct. And it had to be over that weekend.
I won't be waiting so long next time!

I have had a cancellation. Sled, you were the first to ask for a spot. Please confirm you are taking it.
Neely - you are next in line.

I'm in!
The registration link is closed - any information you need from me that you don't already know?

Freddy-
Just to confirm-
timings for Sunday are:
0900 safety brief
1000 rounds down range
I want to make sure those timings are good, as I'm driving up early and long way and don't want to miss the start. Those timings seem strange given past experience.
Thanks.

James,
Due to the clubs new policy Freddy can not start prior to 10am on Sundays. This was adopted in an effort to ease some of the tension between NHRPC and the neighbors in the area.

The Cap'n is correct. I confirm on the times.
If you guys get there early please help Josh out with getting the target boards ready. We need to present 10 simultaneous B27's and have four movers.

Got it. Understand on the "be a good neighbor" policy. I will help Josh out, as long as the traffic doesn't get me on I95N.
Match is filled up!
VERY excited to kick off the series. A lot has changed at the range and I think you guys will like it. I have a series of interesting tableaus planned. <muahahahaha!!!>
I will see everyone NLT 0900 for setup and briefing, with the CBS in the air at 1000.

Thanks for the great match and I liked the fast pace of the day. Looking forward to the next one.
Those positions are confirmed. Here's the entire sheet.
Congrats to Josh for the win. Qualified for the finals just like that.

Just keep an eye on this forum for the match announcement to show up. Steve said it would be out shortly after this match was shot.
Here's a quick breakdown of the CoF for those that couldn't make it.
The CBS was a KYL shot, which means you had a choice of something ordinary for lower value:
a) B27 target score x 5 (stationary) 50 potential points.
or
b) B27 repair center (mover) for target score x 10. 100 potential points.
3 Of us chose the mover but only Argyle hit it. With a .223 AR and an ACOG on top, no bipod. 500Y shot.
Two position was sitting or kneeling, then prone, 400Y.
The precision challenge was five submoa targets at 200Y, the smallest being 1". 20 per hit, -25 per miss and -5 for every round on the paper that didn't score.
Pipeline was five rounds off a barrel at either a 300 or 500Y idpa target. 10 or 20 points per hit respectively.
Urban hide was off the bench, hunched over but standing, 600Y.
Pop ups were 10 rounds, five :06 exposures. 600Y.
The milling exercise at the end worked like this:
1 - B27 targets were folded / redacted down to a rectangle.
2 - Shooters had to MIL it and provide the size in INCHES.
3 - For every inch you are off, five points are deducted from your shooting score.
I think we'll see this one again guys.....
I also really liked the new shooting berms that were put in. I think they helped to give us a lot more flexibility in terms of stages, and I believe that contibuted to how fast the match ran. We started a little after 1000 and we were out of there before 2pm with 20 shooters. The match was heavier on paper than steel but I think this match's formula clearly worked well in terms of time/motion, and a lot of people have remarked that they enjoyed all the tableaus (with exceptions noted above) ;-)

Freddy and the New Holland crew, thanks for another great match. The launch of the Mason Dixon Sniper Series couldn't have gone better, I hope everyone had a good time and can make the rest of the series events. Registration for round #2 will open soon, no need to mail any checks yet, I will post a new thread with a link to the registration form, once on the roster we will accept your payments the day of the match.
Thanks again, and hope to see you all at the range again soon.
Steve B.

Yeah bro - That was out of character for you.
I was really surprised at that, especially since I have seen you win long range UKD matches.
My best guess is that you had your magnification set wrong.
But yeah - you'll probably get another chance...... ;-)

They are on the score sheet in the column headings. It took me a couple tries to get the formula right on the spreadsheet.
=sum(abs(26-K17) + abs(7-L17) + abs(21-M17) + abs(15-N17))
It's amazing how accurate you can be by working the traditional formula backwards.
MDM is hands-down the easiest, but to do it mathematically: DM/C Distance (600y) x MILS / Coefficient
