Re: Sniper Trophy Match - Cawthon Cartridge Club, TX

As requested...

Here are the stages and match information for the CCC Inaugural Sniper Trophy Match to be held on Oct. 30.

Match limited to 30 shooters. First come first serve, but we do have the waiting list option enabled in the registration program...

Sign-in at classroom starts at 8:00am, shooting starts at 9:00am

Read & Heed the following...

* NO Rifle Caliber smaller that .243/6mm or larger than 300 win mag/wsm allowed
* Pistol cal minimum 9mm, no magnums...
* NO Laser Range Finders ALLOWED...
* Know your cold bore dope.
* We will be shooting to 1000 yards so know your 1K dope. Bring your mat if you want to use it.
* We have one 20 round stage, one 21 round stage, and one 10 round stage, so have the necessary mags in your kit.
* One pistol stage with rifle so bring all necessary equipment to shoot and carry what you need.
* Scoring is total points. All stages have par times.
* Pistol will NOT be required to be carried on any stage that does not use it.
* Shooters will be transported from stage to stage on our 40 ft hay ride trailer.
* Two stages will be shot from trailer, Stage 1 and Stage 7.


Stage 1. From hay ride trailer all shooters (10 at a time) will shoot one cold bore shot at their numbered clay target for 25 points. RO will tell you the exact distance to target. Start standing, weapon unloaded. Par time of 30 sec.

Stage 2. Shooting 4 KYL targets, target value goes up as targets get smaller/farther (20, 30, 40, 50 points), miss and out = zero points on that stage. Shoot from any position. Shoot position and prep time off the clock. Par time = 40 sec

Stage 3. Mini jungle run, pistol on 12 static poppers, all steel must be hit before proceeding. Reach end of run at pad, shoot "No Peak" head targets in shoot house, 5 heads targets for 20 points each. Par time 180 sec.

Stage 4. Hostage Rescue: After negotiating a small obstacle course the shooters will utilize the “Strong Hand Barricade” from which they will engage a hostage target at 200-250 yards. Shooters will fire 4 rounds prone, 2 rounds sitting (butt on ground), 2 rounds kneeling (at least 1 knee) and 2 rounds standing for a total of ten rounds. All shooting with the exception of the 4 rounds fired from the prone position will be using the wall for support. Then change to "Weak Hand Barricade", exactly the same as the “Strong Hand Side” stage but performed weak side from second barricade. Ten rounds. Hits on Good Guy will not deduct, bad guy must change side to count as hit, each hit is 10 points. Par time 180 sec

Stage 5. Fred's Tree... KYS (know your sequence): Shooters will fire their first round at a 165 yard mover (paper target) then move to the close-in reactive target at an unknown range (100-200 yards). Shot number three will be at the far reactive target at an unknown range (300-500 yards) and then shooter will once again engage the 165 yard mover. This cycle will continue until the shooter has fired ten rounds from the surprise position. All ten shots must be taken within the time limit of 100 sec. You will be given ample time to get in position and mil your targets before the time starts. Mover moves both directions so your first shot might be right to left then left to right and repeating for the 4 shots, alternating each shot.

Shots: 1, 4, 7, 10 = 165 yard mover.
Shots: 2, 5, 8 = close target.
Shots: 3, 6, 9 = far target.

Stage 6. I lost my ammo... each shooter will give all their ammo/mags to RO who will hide it along the north fence. At the buzzer the shooter will search out the lost ammo and then find and engage 5 targets through the pipe gate. No limit on number of shots but all targets must be hit only once, 10 points per hit. Par time 90 sec.

Stage 7. Wall of Shame... Shot from trailer (10 shooters at a time), range approx 300 yards, the shooters will have 30 seconds to get into position, load, find their number on the "Wall of Shame" and put one shot in their card. If they get a hit, 20 points, if they hit another shooters card that shooter gets the 20 points. No limit on how many points a shooter can get because of bad shots... line splitter shots, largest half gets points. Start standing unloaded par time 30 sec. Wall will be scored after all shooters have shot it. After shooting Stages 1 - 7, we will transport all shooters to classroom to rest, re-fuel and prepare for final Stage 8.

Stage 8. Three Strikes and you are out... 1K range... Each shooters gets 3 shot attempts on each target starting at the 600 yd target (6" plate), then the 700 yd target (8" plate), then proceed to the 1K target array. Targets widths at 1K are 18", 12", 11", 10" and 8". Targets will score 10, 20, 30,40, 50, 60 & 70 points respectively for each target hit, three (3) attempts per target, hit and move on to next target, miss all three shots and you are out. You get all points up to that point. No points for shooting at one plate and hitting another. Par time 210 sec.

We will have 3 RO's other that myself and a couple of target resetters/scorers. The first 2 stages will require the group to stay together. We then split into 3 groups to shoot Stages 3, 4 & 5. Stages 6 & 7 will be shot after all shooters finish with 3, 4 & 5. Stage 8 will be shot together after everyone has a chance to rest in the club house and get their stuff together for the 1K shoot.

Price will be $50 and we will give our custom trophies to first ,second and third in three divisions, Gas Gun, Bolt Gun .308 or larger and Bolt Gun smaller than .308. Trophy count is based on number of shooters per division, 1 trophy for 1-3 shooters, 2 trophies for 6 and 3 trophies for 9 or more shooters in a division

We also have a sponsor, Aaron Roberts, host of Handgun TV, co-host of Tactical Impact and a great Precision Rifle gunsmith has donated gift certificates for custom rifle work to the winner of each division. Details at the shoot.

We will open the facility to any shooters that stay till Sunday for FREE shooting and if time permits on Saturday as well.

We reserve the right to modify the format of the shoot or awards at anytime, as required...

Good Shooting...

To answer questions about our custom hand made trophies, one picture says it all.
These trophies are the ones I build for the Texas Labor Day IDPA shoot in Houston.

trophies.jpg



At this shoot we will give the larger IPSC silhouette trophies seen in the back of this picture. The trophies are 1/4 scale, the silhouette is made of steel cut out on a water jet cutter and the base and support are built at our shop.

The logo will be the Cawthon Cartridge Club Logo, not the West Houston one shown in the picture.

Oct 30th is a home game for Texas A&M, make your hotel reservation early. We have plenty of very nice camping areas if that will work for you.

Re: Sniper Trophy Match - Cawthon Cartridge Club, TX

Here's an update to the Stages...

Stage 1 will be your cold bore/shooter shot, have your gear and gun on when you come to registration. You will be sent to the line in order of registration to do your 1 round cold bore shot, the good news is we just got in 300 lbs of Tannerite and 1000 plastic easter eggs so your target will be a full egg at about 300yds. That will get your day going with a bang...

No bang, no points...

I got my fun this weekend testing half a dozen fully loaded eggs, and yes it was a blast. Its amazing what a loaded egg does to the "T" post it's taped to.

Re: Sniper Trophy Match - Cawthon Cartridge Club, TX

Good to go on the rifle but how about the shooter that early in the morning...

About 300yd might be closer to 200yd, I will tell you the exact yardage at the shoot...

Here's a look at one of the new targets that will be used at this match. The remote control auto reset will cut reset time to zero...

Re: Sniper Trophy Match - Cawthon Cartridge Club, TX

Status update for the Match...

We have some slots left so don't delay, sign-up today for a great time and a great match...

Shot the course today with a couple of RO's that will work next weekend.
Very windy but they did well, even on the 1K stage.

The exploding eggs were a big hit, the pistol/rifle stage was fun to watch and the wall of shame stage surprised me that both shooters got their numbers by line splitters (big cross wind)

In the spirit of Octoberfest, lunch will be provided and will be the traditional brats and kraut cooked in dark beer with hard rolls and all the fixing. FREE to all shooters and spectators... Thank the sponsors for lunch.

I would like to think the sponsors, the shooters, and all the volunteer helpers for supporting this match.

Thanks again,

FredQ
 
Re: Sniper Trophy Match - Cawthon Cartridge Club, TX

Question. Is anyone at the match gonna have an AICS mag with them with the front plate removed to feed 2.940" long rounds? I ordered a Accurate Type 2 mag two weeks ago and he is still out of them. He is getting one of his distributors to ship me one but it may not be here in time for the match.
 
Re: Sniper Trophy Match - Cawthon Cartridge Club, TX

Here is the moving target on stage 5 at 165 yards...
