    2014 STEEL SAFARI - Match Announcement

    Yet another great Competition Dynamics match! This was my 4th time shooting the Steel Safari and this was the most fun so far. I noticed lots of new shooters to this match, this is a great change from prior years. I'd encourage new shooters to get out there and give this match a try next year...

    Rifle Scopes Scope power for 16.5" .308

    I've been running a USO 1.8-10x37 on a 16" OBR. At 600 yards, 10x is plenty for steel shooting. At 1k yards, the steel was pretty small; I would've preferred some more magnification, but it was still sufficient to get some hits. I'm happy with a 10x on a 16" 308.

    Sniper’s Hide Cup Question about the 2014 SHC Dates -- Can we change it ?

    What was the original planned date for the match? Maybe it was buried in one of these other threads. I knew it would be a busy summer match season, but back to back matches would be a pain for me (SS and SHC). A lot of the potential "local" SHC shooters are probably already registered for the...

    Range Report Projectile for 16" DPMS LR 308

    Similar question here. 16" OBR 7.62. I've had great results with 175 SMKs, excellent groups and they hold elevation very well. Getting ~2500fps. I'm trying Berger 155 Hybrids now to get a better BC and more velocity. The only challenge is getting them to shoot well. My groups have been less...

    2013 STEEL SAFARI - Match Announcement

    Once again, this was an excellent match ran by Competition Dynamics. I could tell Jimmy was involved in the stage design / shooting positions as soon as I shot the first stage. This match was substantially more difficult than last year due to creative target placements and contortionist-like...

    2012 COMBAT BIATHLON SERIES [WY] + Photos!

    Re: 2012 COMBAT BIATHLON SERIES [WY] So the match starts at 11am... Will there be a sight-in period before that? What time is the match expected to finish by? Will this be a ~5 mile course (different targets) or several loops totaling the 5 miles on the same targets?
