Re: SHWW Group
It's not really much of a problem keeping track of the points, I'll just have to figure out the scoring system. My guess is it'll be something like winner gets 100 series points and then those below get a % of that 100 based on their score for the day. Series competitors would need to compete in a minimum of 5 events to be eligible and therefore an individual's top 5 scores would be tallied for the series standings. It's easily doable, and honestly I'd love to see you guys around the NW have a good place to practice and showcase your skills. We have a very underrated group of shooters in this area and it's time we start doing something about it.
Wheels are turning boys and girls, give me some time to figure everything out. There won't be any prizes for monthly matches, but we can try to put something together for the series if that happens.

Re: SHWW Group
All this sounds like a great time!!!! Love it.
I like the idea of minimum 5 matches.
A thought would be this. Average the shooters score after each match with his previous average. That way the person coming to 7 matches will still be able to compete for the cup against the person that attended all 12 matches. This would make it fair for people living a long way from the match. People living close to the match will probably be at every one.
I am very lucky to be married with two young girls, but that also means my time is valuable away from work and such.
Just thinking that if the final days score gets added to the previous day and so on than the only people in the race would essentially be the shooter that attend every match.
I was breaking it down like this- if we need a minimum of 5 matches in a season to qualify for the cup
Shooter 1-
Attends 7 matches
100 possible points per match-Scores 50,60,60,80,90,80,90
His average score for the points race would -72.85
Total added score -510
Shooter 2
Attends 12 matches
Scores of-40,45,50,55,60,65,70,75,80,85,90,35
Average score for the points race-62.5
Total added score- 750

Re: SHWW Group
It'll either be an average or the top five scores. I like the top five sort of thing because it allows people to still be in the game if they have a problem and bomb one event. With the average, you'll get people that won't attend if they fear their average might suffer. I'll kick around the series points thing, keep the ideas coming.

Re: SHWW Group
Jake,
No offense but thats retarded why would you want punish the guys that attend every match but may not be the top finisher. everybody has bad days, it also encourages people to stop coming if they did really well in the first few matches.
I idea is to encourage attendance and if you run that point system it would be exact opposite. Every match should count, I don't live close and probably won't be able to make them all but i am still all for making every shot in every match counting

Re: SHWW Group
USPSA in this area has a championship series. The way it's handled is that there are 7 matches that are part of the series (each local club hosts one championship series match as part of their monthly match program) and then the best 4 points results are taken for each shooter and averaged, so that you're left with a point average for each shooter based on their 4 best matches out of the 7 that are held. From there it's a simple ranking of shooters based on that point average.
EXAMPLE:
Shooter 1
Match 1- 80
Match 2- 75
Match 3- 78
Match 4- Didn't attend
Match 5- 63
Match 6- 82
Match 7- 76
Average of best 4 (82,80,78,76) = 79 points
Shooter 2
Match 1- 82
Match 2- didn't attend
Match 3- didn't attend
Match 4- 83
Match 5- 68
Match 6- 76
Match 7- 83
Average of best 4 (83,83,82,76) = 81 points
Obviously for this proposed match you may want to pick more than the best 4 matches based on how many are held, but I'd hope that the number would be reasonable as I could see how it might be tough for people to make the drive every month.

Re: SHWW Group
I completely agree, really the only thing I was trying convey is the fact that if we added all the points for every match the shooters that attended all would have a clear advantage. I do want everyone to participate and I didn't think about the coward that had a good average after his first five matches not shooting anymore due to losing his average. I wouldnt do that because I want to shoot as much as possible.
Noone is being punished for shooting all the matches.That's the idea, to have fun shooting as many matches as possible!! All shooting more matches will do is let you try to improve your score/average
I do like the top five scores idea. Would that be like an average of top five scores per shooter? That would be awesome, if you have an average of five matches you could only improve the average with a better score and thus encouraging participation to try and get a better score.

Re: SHWW Group
The way I'm setting this up, anything .223 to .338 will be allowed as it'll likely be about 90% paper. There will be plenty of challenges for those shooting bigger calibers. As for the passes/weather keeping people away....that falls under the "tough shit" category. It's pretty rare that the passes are actually closed, and we'll shoot rain/snow/shine here if at all possible. Bring your big boy panties.
Looking at the series scoring, there will likely be 10ish events so I'm leaning towards 5 scores will count toward your series total. Yes, it'll likely be an average of the top five scores, but could be sum total of the top five scores...haven't figured that out yet.
I need to work out the details of the schedule and make sure there are no conflicts with my schedule, or if there are make arrangements so that someone will be there in my place to run the thing. Hopefully someone will step up and take over if I can't make it.
*****so all that being said......who's up for a Hangover Match as the first Sunday of January is the 1st?

Does anyone local do really good work on DPMS 308's? I have one with a 24 inch DPMS barrel that shoots pretty well. I also have a stainless Obermeyer 308 barrel blank with a 1-11 twist. I'm considering having the stock barrel (about 500 rounds through it) removed, and having the rifle built around the Obermeyer blank.
I know of a couple of really good smiths that do this work, but they are quite a distance from here. I'm like the idea of keeping my money local if it is reasonable.

This series thing sounds like it will be a blast!! I would make the january 1st match, might feel like shit, but i would be there. Might want to have a breathalizer on site, prior to any shooting

If there is any type welding, fabrication or metal work needed, let me know, as i could more than likely have my welding students take care of any needs.

For the Wenatchee Valley crowd or others if interested.
I am going to put in an order from Powder Valley and am looking to split freight and hazmat fees. I am ordering 2 8lb jugs for a 16lb total for me. It says on the website they can ship 48lbs with one hazmat fee. So that means 32lbs left or 4 more 8lb jugs. If you want single pounders or primers (I may order some of those if space allows)we can figure that out. Looking to do this in the next week or so. PM me. If you guys know a better or less expensive place let me know and we can do that instead.

I'm in for at least 5 a year...

Re: SHWW Group
Well, it's been a long time, but it's finally over. I just returned from my spot outside of Acme, & found that my large silhouette (Abdul) has been stolen. From the evidence @ the site someone moved him up the hill into the middle of the rd, & left him literally right on the side of the road where he was in plain sight to anyone who walked down there. He had been there for 4 yrs in the spot I had been hiding him. There are only a handful of people, (along with 2 other guys I have seen up there who may have known where it was, & I will be talking to them asap.) I trusted with the locations of my hidden steel. I don't know who is responsible, but I'm verry P.O'd. As a result of this, I will be returning to collect ALL my steel in the next few days, & will NOT be hosting another BSC match this coming spring. Another long process to find another place to shoot is on my agenda now, & this new spot will be a closely guarded secret.
To everyone who enjoyed the matches I have hosted, & were looking forward to another one, I am truly sorry. Also, to the people who enjoyed the use of my steel up there I am also sorry, but that steel was expensive for me to make, & was a real pain for me to get down there into position.
Rant off.

Oh man.. What A-hole did that?!!
Sorry to hear that some stole your steel. I hate people who ruin it for everyone.

Sure. I was planning on getting those as well. Assuming they're still there. It was foggy out there, & I couldn't tell if they were still there.
Also. Just to be clear. I don't think any "hider" I know stole it. I'm assuming that it was one of those other guys that left it out where someone could see it, & a deer hunter stole it. But I don't know for sure one way or the other. Right now I have "trust deficit", so all my steel is coming out of there.
As for my match. I MIGHT try to put the one in Mazama together this summer. IF I can get some help to set up, & tear down. Also that will require several trips over there for me to get FFP's etc. sorted out, & it's a 3 1/2 hr drive for me to get there, & the country is very steep, & rugged, so actually humping steel plates around up there will be challenging to say the least.
Sorry guys, & gals. No One is as upset about this as I am.

Re: SHWW Group
Bigs,
Sorry to hear about your steel.
While at Ellensburg yesterday I could not locate the 1035, 970, or 872 yard target. Those were pretty much in line with each other. Now that I think about it I'm not so sure the 1035, and 872 yard targets were Scott's.
The bank of targets at 434 yards and 607 were still there as well as the ones to the left side of the range.

Re: SHWW Group
The 1030, 970 & 870 were mine.... I have not been out there... so........
Those stands were all held together with bandaids & bubblegum, and that was before I was out there last... before football season.... early August.
Couldn't say..... pretty sure that 10"er at 870 didn't get knocked over though..... that one was a BIOTCH
If any of you all do get out there to scout around, it would be nice to have a confirmed inventory. It would suck to drive all the way out there for nuthin...
