Re: SHWW Group
For those interested, Upper Nisqually Sportsman's club is giving me the 550 yard range on the 3rd saturday of August, September, and October for practical rifle matches. More info is posted in the Puget Sound shooters area.
If anyone wants on the mailing list, send a really short email to "[email protected]". Something short like "I'm in", or "put me on the list" is enough. That way, I can copy the email address onto outgoing emails.

Re: SHWW Group
I was invited to an invitation only practical/ tactical match Saturday on a private ranch. We had an assortment of challenges from 2 helicopters, a Humvee and a Truck. Also from static firing points, we had shots from 150 yards out to 975 yards including a mover at 450 and unknown from ~400-1000, shots into buildings and cars with obscure targets etc. The match director set up a course of fire that was very challenging to say the least.
I tied for first place over all but slipped into second place when the times had to be used for the tie breaker.( I was a bit slow on 2- timed events)
Very pleased with my results considering who I was shooting against.
I shot my RBros 6.5X47 Lapua with a NF NXS 5.5-22 and Gemtec HTV suppressor. For the handgun I used my Glock 34.
A shot of the helicopters we used

Re: SHWW Group
Congrats on your shooting Jim! Sounds like a great time. I haven't shot much since Kettle Falls, but I did get my empties annealed. Guess I should get of my ass and get them loaded.
How many rounds do you have through your 6.5 barrel now?

Re: SHWW Group
A quick question about the multi gun match and the 200 rounds of pistol on that stage... does that mean that essentially all of our pistol shooting will take place in that one stage? I'm not complaining or anything, just trying to get clarification so I know how much ammo to bring and I can plan for how to carry 200 rounds of pistol ammo at one time on me.

Yeah I did know thank you. However I'm trying out a new pistol and otherwise don't own a 40 cal. I have a bit of other product in on the order as well as my shipping was around $5 I think.
I talked to JTP last night about the 200 rounds of pistol ammo on that stage. He said that it's a long course that we will be traveling and take approx 15 minutes to shoot. The most we'll shoot at a single stage will be around 65 rounds (plus or minus a few) and we should have time to reload while traveling from one shooting position to the next. You can carry all ammo in mags if you have them, or carry them loose in a pouch or backpack or ammo case. Just know the important thing is that once you start at the beginning of the course, you won't be able to move back to where you started. Hope this helps and I didn't screw it up too bad JTP!

Can somebody clarify on this monster pistol stage: will hauling ass during the 'travelling' between shooting portions of the stage be in order?
...considering whether to pick up more pistol mags (if "only" having 119 rounds in mags will be a disadvantage)

I'm going to make the suggestion to only time the shooting part so that people have time to reload mags between shooting positions. I know the stage will have an overall time limit though (including reloading), so it's in your best interest to be able to load mags quickly.

Re: SHWW Group
Sounds like a magazine loading stage rather than a shooting skill stage. With that said, I support any match director's right to do whatever they wish with their match.
I have been to matches where use of a knife was part of the stage, so I guess this isn't as far afield as it might first appear. People rich enough to have plenty of pre-loaded magazines sure get a break.

Re: SHWW Group
OK to clarify on the gully pistol stage. This post is about the pistol stage only, (other than the sniveling, that goes for the entire match)
You will need ~200 rounds of pistol ammo.
You will be able to have 100 rounds MAX in mags at the start of the stage.
You will need boots, water, some way to carry ~100 rounds of loose ammo, some way to carry your loaded mags, some way to secure your empty mags, a very secure holster, the ability to climb and descend rough Terran.
This is a fun match. If you whine, bitch, complain, get misty eyed etc, Do NOT show up. I do not want you in the match. I do not want you to even be on club property.
Don't e-mail, text, PM or call me if you are going to do any of the above sniveling.
If you have any questions, please feel free to PM or call me
509-884-1000
Thanks

Re: SHWW Group
Do we need to carry those mags and the pistol on our belts for the entire match? For example, can I put extra mag pouches on my belt just for that stage and then toss them into my pack when I'm done with the stage?

Alan and I just spent a few hours working on the gully course. It will be a blast! You will be able to load mags on the move to the tune of 15 rounds in ~30 seconds.

It was a fun match. Good for me as I've been fighting a rifle that had some issues for a few years assuming it was my fault for those weird uncalled flyers.
