Id be all for it, but I have prior commitments. Count me in for the next one!

Do you typically hold these on a piece of privately owned land or do you go to a range?

What are the requirements to RSO? I was a SSG in the Army and ran or assisted with running numerous weapons quals, but I am not an NRA "official" RSO.

The last couple have been on private land but sometimes on BLM land. There hasnt been any at ranges yet, there really arent any ranges that have the complexity of terrain that allows for the different stages.
RSO- For the matches that DS is putting on and Biggs, no qual is needed, you just need to be able to spot hits on a target and keep an eye on people to make sure the fundementals of firearms safety or being followed. Some of the matches that are put on will require the RSO's to have credentials. Each match is organized by a different person or group, so rules/requirements change from match to match.

Re: SHWW Group

How's your pistol hand?

Re: SHWW Group

Developing a callus!

Big Joe - "The Too Tall Challenge" was an absolute blast! Very impressive, especially considering is was your first 'big show'

... That really was fun man... great COF.... and the stages, designed to allow the <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">shooter</span></span> to determine how he is going to use the terrain to make his shot, was fantastic! That match, was what I envision, when thinking of "practical, long range precision" (except for stage 6

) ... Nice Job!

Congratulations to Ron (Benchmark) - very nice shooting - must be those barrels!

Thanks to the sponsors.... lots of cool stuff... looking forward to checking out one of those Grand River Tactical vests!

Finally... thanks for the night shoot stuff, that was super cool.... the "Roof Top Hostage" & the "Hillbilly Helocopter / Somali Pirate" stages are definate musts for the next go around!

...... oh.... and your beans are THE BEST.

Now back to dry firing that damn pistol......

Re: SHWW Group

Oh.... and Hopps... thank you very much for the ground... that place is a slice of paradise!

 

[TEAMSENDIT]

Re: SHWW Group

wow joe i heard the benchmark boys took the top 4 spots not bad!!! can't wait to hear some stories chad.

 

[Tribe]

Re: SHWW Group

4 of the top 5

...... you missed a fun one.

 

[TEAMSENDIT]

Re: SHWW Group

sorry tribe guess i had bad info good thing i couldn't go sounds like i would have had my ass handed to me on a platter

 

[Tribe]

Re: SHWW Group

The only thing that could have made it more fun, would have been more shooters.... ......and/or a helo

.... but Joe's working on a SHWW budget level solution for that

 

[Bigwheels]

Re: SHWW Group

Or shooting the comp as opposed to RSO'ng it. Tibor, & I were going to run the course on Sun. AM but ran low on time, so we had to bail on the last few sections.
The night shoot was a kick tho. At least I had the time in the morning to verify some dope on the new barrel, so I should be good to go for the next one. Oh yeah. That will probably be my comp. Oh well.
Right now I'm looking to the week end of 8/14-15/10 for mine to run. This is tentative, but what I'm shooting for.

Re: SHWW Group

Thats cool Joe. But I look fat.(oh yeah. I am fat.) I had a good time too. Finally got to put that illuminated reticle to use. Next time Tibor, & I are going to compete tho, so someone else will have to step up, & fill the gap.
Everyone keep an eye out here next week for the final date for the next Big's Steel Challenge. I'm going up to see where I'm at, & will make the call next week. It will either be the weekend of the 14th, or the 28th, so Hopps,& Sam can make it.(haven't forgot about the wedding) Hope to see you all there.

Pretty sweet dag!!!!

Re: SHWW Group

He is trustworthy friend and belives most rounds to be 1x fired....let me know if there is interest and I will pass on the contact info.

Re: SHWW Group

Yes.

Re: SHWW Group

More than likely be able to fit it in...where you thinking? Almost all of my steel is set up at "hopps'", not really into taking it down and storing it at my house anymore.

Re: SHWW Group

I was hoping to talk Joe into the one hilltop spot above the Elba river

 

[Bigwheels]

Re: SHWW Group

Heading out to start setting up for Big's Steel Challenge. Anything you want to do in particular? (no pistol discussion...Tribe.) Positions/Ranges/uphill/downhill?

 

[dontstrokeme]

Re: SHWW Group

Any way to get some steep downhill angles would be pretty cool...team shooting would be pretty good for practice. Also some countdown type stuff....where the spotter counts down and the shooter must fire at "zero".

 

[Bigwheels]

Re: SHWW Group

Probably no steep downhills with any real range on them, but I'll look around. I was thinking of a coodinated fire stage where the RSO would give a countdown, & the team must fire at at the same time. It will almost certainly be a team event like my last one, as I will not be able to have RSO's for all the stages.
Any other suggestions?

 

[Tribe]

Re: SHWW Group

Bigs... Lots of steel..... far away.

Dafar.... the new lay out at Hopps place, is far different from the last time we were all there. Lots of options, just have to be willing to shoot from positions of compromised support. Tons of ways to practice out there... I'm excited to go back.... if they'll have me

Re: SHWW Group

Damn guys sounds like I missed a good time--ended up working while you folks were having fun---some times I hate my job

Re: SHWW Group

Yeah.... you would have really enjoyed this one....

...your job frickin' rocks... what, did you have to go out riding quads all over God's creation all weekend?

Re: SHWW Group

Hey fellas.... I just noticed our little thread here has 5 stars... anyone know where those come from, or what purpose they serve?

Or an STD in the group?
