I will be in ellensburg between noon and 1, I have to set seven targets, get the 4 barracades/props up and my sun canopy with table chairs so realistically it shouldn't take more than 4-5hours tops. Believe it or not i am fairly organized this time. I may even get a few rounds down range if i am not fried by then. After that there will be some cold beer and the river in store i think.
I am always appreciative of any help i can get.

Re: SHWW Group
I just moved from CO to WA - is there a way I can get info on this shoot without having to read the entire 115 pages?
Happy to help with setup if I can get there in time.

Re: SHWW Group
Here is a rundown so that everybody knows what to prepare for. Save your questions for match day. if you guys know anyone who is coming but doesn't check on here feel free to copy it and email it to them.
Basic Rules
All rifles will be safely handled at all times and any loaded rifles off the firing position will be automatically disqualified, chamber flags are required off the firing line. Scoring is simple all hits are worth 1point except (know your limit). Time will be strictly upheld when your name is called you will have 1 minute of prep time to get ready after that the timer will announce time has started whether you are ready or not so be prepared.
All stages will start with loaded mag inserted but with the bolt open and rifle on ground unless otherwise noted. RO will give a description, quick q&a and then the RO will shoot course of fire to demonstrate. Also all rifles must have bolt open and mag out of rifle when moving from shooting positions in the middle of a stage.
Location 1
Stage 1 (wheel stage)
This stage will be shot from a wheel on its side you will start by engaging the target with 3 rounds from your weak side, followed by 3 rounds on top, finishing with 3 rounds on your strong side. Targets will be 3-33% ipsc distance of around 400yds.
9 rounds total, time allotted 1min 45seconds
Stage 2 (Know your limits)
From roughly 250 yds you will engage the kyl plate rack starting biggest and going to the smallest plates. Largest plate is worth 1 point, smallest plate is 5 points. If you miss your score is zero regardless of previous hits. Max points scored are 5 and you can stop shooting at any time.
5round max, time allotted 60seconds
Stage 3 Doghouse
Shooter will start with rifle on top doghouse, there will be 3 targets at roughly 300-350yds, shooter must engage from 3 positions inside doghouse and 3 on top of dog house.

10rds total, time allotted 1min 45sec
Stage 5 Rooftop
Shooter will fire at the bank of 4 targets from prone one round at each target, followed by 4rds from the rooftop at the same bank of targets. Shooter will then move locations and engage the single target at 1035yds with 4 rounds.

Someone can have my spot. I'm not going to be able to make it. Got too much work to do. And besides, I'd die in the heat up there this weekend anyway.

Re: SHWW Group
I'll be coming up Friday and will hopefully make it out early enough to help set up. I'm going to try and be there around noon-1:30pm.
I'm only going to be shooting on Saturday if that matters.

Re: SHWW Group
Any caliber restrictions? Is 338 Lupua with 250gr ok?
Opportunity to site in pre-match?
Do I have to hump my crap all day or can I use my truck as storage locker?
Dang, lost my dope from CO and have not had time to recreate for WA - never rely on electronics......

Re: SHWW Group
Keigan welcome to SHWW, for your info Scott (TSI) usually limits it to 300wm, most everyone is shooting smaller than that except Tribe and Bigwheels. Bigs usually has some informal shoots for the big guns up north by Acme. As for humping, no the trucks are right there, so yes its handy.

Re: SHWW Group
Keigan. The elevation there is about 2500' ASL, & it will be hot. About 80* by 10:00-11:00 AM. Almost 100* by 2:00, so run a JBM card for that, & you'll be GTG. If you want to shoot the 338 later get a hold of me next week, & we can stretch it out about as far as you want.
Oh yeah. Good luck everyone. Wish I could make it, but just not to be. Bring LOTS of water, & have fun.

Re: SHWW Group
I want to say to my shooting buddy Matt aka MM509.....I hate you!! Great Job on taking 1st today!
Also a big Thanks to Scott and all the RO's for putting this on. Another big thanks to all the Sponsers who made the Prize table Unbelievable. With all the Magpul stuff from Caylen, the Proof Research Stock and the leather goods it made for a pretty sweet table. I really wish I was paying attention to the table when I got up to grab something.....I didnt realize that stock certificate was still up for grabs and I let her slip through the fingers!
This was my first match and I had a blast, learned a lot and I am definitely making changes to my setup now that I was able to finally put it all to use. I also broke a new Versapod with in 5 minutes and 5 shots....cant wait to call them Monday Morning.
Thanks again guys and I am finally glad to put names and faces to these screen names.

I would have loved the stock. I figured the first place shooter, or someone above me snagged it. Geez, next time I'll ask...

Re: SHWW Group
Hunter, thanks for the congrats bud! I had a blast. A big thank you to Team-Send-It for all the hard work he put into this thing. This was my first match, and man what a good time. Like Hunter said, it was awesome to put some faces to screen names. This SHWW group has got to be one of the best groups of any kind I have ever met. Alan, Craig, Nick and SunnysideScott I had a blast shooting with all of you today, and look forward to doing it more.
Agreed, that prize table was phenomenal!! That stock was sweet, but like I told Ranger, with my OCD and the matching rifle thing. I am glad to see it go to SSamurai though, he is a good guy and well deserving of it. A big thanks to Caylen and Magpul, wow!! I have never been to a match before, but for a local shoot with a prize table like that, unbelievable.
In closing......Thanks JD for building my rifle (in 4 days), and thanks Caylen for teaching me how to shoot. The rifle is really easy to drive, and the Precision Rifle course of Caylen's I attended last year provided the fundamentals. Scott (Team-Send-It) and the RO's thank you too.
I just wanted to go and meet new people, and shoot my rifle...At the end of the day, I had an excellent time.

Re: SHWW Group
MM509, Conrats on your win, first time out too.. Well done, sir. JD does put together a fine rifle. I hope to be up to speed to shoot the next one of these. Sounds as though everyone had a great time.

Re: SHWW Group
I just want to send a message to all the folks I shot with this weekend; I had a great time meeting new people and putting faces to names! Congrats to Matt on his win, and I hope we can shoot again soon.
Scott, you put on an excellent practical rifle match that is well balanced with speed and accuracy. I know how much work goes into these events and my hats off to you and your RO's for giving Washington shooters the ability to reap the benefits of your efforts!
On behalf of Magpul, I intend to continue to support these events as often as schedules permit, hopefully resulting in larger turn-outs and more challenging courses of fire.
When's the next one?!

Is there a way to become a member of the SHWW Group or get updates so I do not miss up coming events? I'm obviously new to Snipers Hide but now that I am here I a would like to get out and shoot some more.

Welcome to the hide! Just hang out here and matches will be posted along with people looking to just go out and shoot. I am out of Cle Elum and I tend to shoot in Eburg a lot.
You have a PM inbound.

Re: SHWW Group
Although I'm new to this group, I think you just took the most important step into getting familiar with this group...contacting people. I finally got a chance to meet a number of these people at the match yesterday, and was favorably impressed by everyone I met.
Some of the things I really liked was that everyone shared knowledge openly. There was strong competition, but I got the feeling that everyone wanted to win because of their shooting skill....not because they were being a jerk and not sharing some piece of important knowledge about the course of fire.
Also, I didn't perceive anyone as a blowhard, or braggart. People I met were really open about their skill level and background. I have been at other locations where it seemed that an unusually high percentage of the people were former snipers, or "snipers with some super secret unit" , or couldn't tell you about their background because it was a national secret or some nonsense like that. The people I met yesterday came across as salt of the earth kind of folks; not the kind of people trying to impress me with BS. Over all a fine group of people to shoot with.
Going shooting with some of the folks, or attending one of the matches will be one of the best ways to get to know them.
As you are in Ellensburg, you might consider taking one of Caylen's classes. They get extremely favorable reviews from anyone who has attended them. I think he is based out of the Ellensburg/Yakima area, so he is close to you.
Yesterday's match winner attended one of Caylen's classes, then won the first match he attended after the class. I think it would be really hard to find better advertising than that.

Re: SHWW Group
DrGiggles,
If you are brand new to the hide, a simple way to "watch a thread" such as this, is to select "Add to watched topics" from the "Topic Options Tab" at the top of the page... if you have your email set-up in your preferences, it will automatically send you updates....
If you already knew all of this, my apologies.... other than that, no... there is no "official membership"... just hang out, and show up.
On that note, sounds like TSI put on another fun match... we are so lucky to have a guy like him, that enjoys putting these on.... I feel horrible for not being able to make this one...

Re: SHWW Group
Unknown very well put, the very reason why I enjoy this group of folks, I am bummed I didn't make out this weekend. Chad surprised that you weren't there either and thanks for the heads up on JTP's match, not surprised that its going back to the single shooter concept, probably a little eaiser to run, and I totally agree that the days of the Plumbers cup being local are numbered. Congratulations to the winner, and thanks to all that contributed and helped Scott put on this event, he does deserve our thanks for all the work he has done for us shooters here in the northwest.

Re: SHWW Group
Thanks to Scott for putting this on and all the ROs for their efforts as well. Laurel and I had a great time and it was good seeing guys again and meeting some new guys. Also, thanks to the sponsors for a great prize table.

Re: SHWW Group
Glad to hear everyone had a good time. I wish I could have made it. Maybe next time.
Anyway, I'm thinking of heading over to Mazama for the weekend of the 24th for my birthday. I just need to get away for a few days again, & relax, & have some fun. I'll probably scout out some FFP's, & target areas for a match up there next spring/summer. I'm getting tired of the Acme area, & want to shoot somewhere different. I may hold one more BSC up in Acme next spring too, but unless they log off more areas, it's just about run out of new things I can do there to challenge shooters with. So if anyone's up for it, I could meet up with you for some high mountain shooting in 2 weeks.

Re: SHWW Group
Holy cow.
I had a great time. Thanks for putting this on TSI. The time was TOUGH for me, I am usually a more methodical shooter (read:slow) and this put me outside of my comfort zone.
The heat (but dust more than anything!) was rough, but well worth it! I was good on some stages and terrible on others on day 1, and on day 2, I seemed to bomb the stages that I excelled at before, and generate some redemption for myself on the ones I previously bombed. Time to buy all new .260 brass!
It was great chatting with SSamurai's wife too!

This is music to my ears. I keep telling myself I'll do one of these "as soon as I square my equipment away..." Time to just pull the trigger methinks. Instead of worrying about my equipment, I really just need to dedicate time to shooting. Sounds like fun was had by all. Next time, fellas.

Re: SHWW Group
Thanks Team Send it for another fun shooting weekend, and to the match sponsors for providing prizes. It's great to see familiar faces as well as meeting new people.
Congrats to Matt and his firts place finish at his first match. I look forward to our next match and hope to see some more of the West side shooters, maybe we can play in the snow again.

Re: SHWW Group
First of all I would like to thank <span style="color: #CC0000"><span style="font-weight: bold">Proof Research, Magpul Dynamics, Benchmark Barrels, Unknow, Pat M</span></span>. You guys all donated to the prize table which to say the least was great. Honestly this is the first match we have had were we actually had some real donations and i really appreciate it.
Guys the best way to show your appreciation and to keep it going is to email the companies to thank them and to support them by buying there products and telling others about them.
Secondly I would like to thank jason aubin/ssamuri, alan genin/unknown, lucas beitner, scott marquez, and everybody else that participated and helped take down everything afterwards.
A big congrats to matt mederis day 1 winner, and scott marquez our day 2 winner. You both shot very well and dealt with the adversities of the cof.
I have only been involved in this sport for 2 years but i can honestly say the Washington crew is some of the nicest guys i have met, because of this i will continue to try and come up with new and different course of fires for each match.
<span style="color: #CC0000"><span style="font-weight: bold">My current thoughts are that i will have one winter match, spring and late summer early fall next year. if anybody would like to give me there input on dates, locations, stages, barracades, obstacles, etc... I would love to know your opinions</span></span>. I put these matches on because i love shooting mainly, and i want our crew of northwest guys skills to continue to improve. In my eyes the more competitions you can shoot the faster you will progress, I have seen some huge improvements in some of the guys that just started last year already.
Once again thanks to all that attended I had a great time!!!

Re: SHWW Group
Had a great time, and wish i was more prepared (i was loading ammo Saturday) and only made it to the Sunday shoot. Meet a few more new shooters and go to hang out for some time in the shade yacking. Also want to thank Proof Research, Magpul Dynamics, Benchmark Barrels for some very nice prize donations.
note to self, "if i'm shooting at a hostage target with the gas-gun - don't even bother" - for some reason i always negative points (-6) , i seem to do ok with a bolt gun on them
thanks Scott

Re: SHWW Group
how would you guys like to be able to shoot a match with using something like this?? not exact but similar only with a TSI touch to it of course.
