2014 2nd Annual Matt Karstetter Memorial Field Match, Wilbur WA

[DieselWSM]

As last year, this match is designed to encourage new shooter participation with generous targets and distances out to 1200 yards. This year we are incorporating some pistol and gas-gun stages to mix things up. A round count for weapon each system will be determined at a later date. We will have some gas-guns and pistols available for those who are not equipped so don’t let that discourage your registration, although we encourage you to bring something you are comfortable with. Contributions will once again be donated to the memorial scholarship fund for the children that Matt left behind.

The match is scheduled for June 14th, 2014. Specific locations for the match will be given to the attending shooters once they have registered and the match gets closer.

Just wanted to remind people why we are doing this...

"BPA lineman from Yakima dies in 100-foot fall-The Associated Press
SPOKANE — A 34-year-old Bonneville Power Administration lineman from Yakima has died after falling from a transmission tower near the Montana-Idaho border.

KREM-TV reports lineman Matthew Karstetter fell more than 100 feet on Sept. 20.

The accident is still under investigation.

BPA officials did not return a phone call Wednesday seeking more information on where the fall occurred.

Karstetter joined the BPA in June 2004. He worked on the Kalispell, Mont., transmission line maintenance crew until graduating from the apprentice program in 2008. Most recently, he worked as a journeyman on a transmission line crew in Spokane.

His obituary said a few days before his death, Karstetter was lowered to the wires by helicopter to rescue a crewman having a heart attack. The Yakima native is survived by his wife, daughter and unborn son."

Spots are filling up but there should be room.

 

[DieselWSM]

So currently we have some great sponsors lined up. The latest to join the cause:

Hodgdon Power- GFs for powder
Predator Tactical- 2 GFs for $1000 of a custom pistol!

 

[DieselWSM]

5 Shot Leather- Free Holster
Higher Capacity Magazines- (TBD style and quantity)

 

[DieselWSM]

There are a few things we are going to do differently this year.

Registered shooters will receive an email in regards to the Predator Tactical Custom Pistol Gift Certificates ($1000 off a custom pistol build) and this will start the "Auction". Since this is a fund raiser, it has been decided to auction some of the sponsorship items to try and build a generous pool this year for the scholarship fund. Our goal is to raise $5000 through auction and match fees.

We will be having the 1750yd competition again this year. Any caliber below a .300 WM can shoot. Whomever hits the 2'x2' steel plate wins 50% of the pot. $20 to get in, 5 shots. Last year an 11yr old boy and 15yr old boy split the pot with getting 2nd round hits.

Time dependent we will host the pistol match following long-gun, it will not be scored as part of the long-gun aggregate, but scored separately again this year.

There will be a Gas-gun/pistol stage near the assembly area so shooters will not have to pack extra equipment all day.

I'm looking forward to this match. I've also got a buddy and my dad signed up, neither of whom have ever shot a multi-gun style match.

We were originally going to have a multi gun style match but the logisitics and the ability for shooters to field different weapons for the duration or the day have proved difficult. We still are having a pistol/bolt gun stage, and may incorporate pistols for all stages depending on the reponse i get back from shooters. It would mean packing a pistol all day and a little extra weight so not sure how the shootes would feel about that. This is a bolt gun match predominantly and not all shooters like to shoot pistols so that will weigh in on decisions as well.

Oh no! Either way, I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun. It would be nice to shoot as much pistol as possible though especially since the carbine is going away!

That is the general consensus We might be able to work something out!!

 

[JC Steel]

Would be nice to shoot about 100 rifle rounds and 50 pistol rounds over the course of the day. Still keeping the match a precision rifle match.

Another thing to do would go something like 100 and 100. Just keep the pistol points at half value

That is going to be the ballpark round count. The other issue is that not all shooters are setup to carry a pistol for this style of event as well as not all precision rifle shooters are a fan of pistols. Trying to find that happy medium so that people dont feel obligated to spend a bunch of money on gear for the match, nor do they feel discouraged because they are not fans of pistols.

To be fair, it was advertised as a multi-gun match. I don't know why people would sign up for a rifle/pistol/carbine match and then complain about having to shoot pistol/carbine. I can see that case for dropping the carbine at least as it is more stuff to carry and keep track of, but I have a hard time believing that it's an undue burden on competitors to carry a pistol in a holster during the match. I'd hope that anyone who signed up for this at least has a pistol, a few mags, and a holster.

I don't mean to be negative, and I'm sure it'll be a great match, but I think this is the perfect type of match (laid back, charity, welcoming to new shooters) for people to perhaps step out of their comfort zone and do some pistol shooting in a competitive environment.

Agreed.

 

[JC Steel]

Whatever you decide let me/us know. I have a glock but the barrel is short and I would be better suited with a different pistol if it counts for points during a match.

I have wanted to buy a good match pistol anyway...so it would be a good excuse!

Didn't you have a thread a few weeks ago about picking up a CZ SP-01? That would be an excellent choice for a match pistol.

 

[DieselWSM]

It is very likely that pistol stages will be scored on average hits multiplied by time remaining. So they will count as part of each stage they are involved in

[JC Steel]

Yeah I do nine but the trigger and sights on that thing are horrible.

Might be smarter for me to get those fixed to my liking then buy a new comp pistol. Good idea to save me a little money!!

I'd like a 9mm 1911 for a comp pistol eventually!

 

[*Nine]

Some trigger/hammer parts and sights from Cajun Gun Works or CZ Custom would solve that pretty easily.

 

[BGE541]

Waiting on leave approval and ill look forward to this match~!

There are still a few spots open and if anybody is interested in being an RO, free meal and shirt.

The new Glock 41 would be a nice addition..... works left handed too!

I'm in, should be a blast!
