Sniper’s Hide Cup 2014 Sniper's Hide Cup UPDATE ! 3/8/14

Send your squadding requests via PM now as I am finalizing the roster, we have accommodated many, but if you want to shoot with someone let us know as soon as possible
 
In regard to Squad assignments, we are okay to do it this week, but once this week ends, we'll not be changing the roster.

We want to have this finished and going back and forth is not gonna happen.

For those who have buddies that missed registration, we can get them sorted, and have been able to add people manually, however sooner is better than later.

We have about 115 shooters right now, we can handle more, but we are not gonna accept a rush, a few more is fine.
 
Frank,
I sent you a PM with names for squad request a few days before you publicly posted to hold off on those request. Are we good to go, or should I make that request again?

KevinU contacted me today asking if we could add another person to the squad. I'm not sure what that persons user name is so I'll have KevinU contact you with that info.

Thanks!
 
Got these so those sweating the navigation part don't get lost.

If you requested to shoot with someone on a specific squad, understand your name may not be back to back but we have accommodated all the requests as best we can.

If you are shooting with someone and don't see their name or have a question, please PM.

Frank,

Do you know an approximate round count for Each Day? Rifle and Pistol to carry.
 
It's about 45 rounds per segment with 5 segments, you'll do 2 a day.

There are only 2 pistol stages, and that can be easy for some, hard for others, but figure you're gonna shoot 30% of your pistol rounds on one stage and 70% on the other. (Segment B & C are pistol stages) You only have to carry your pistol when you are shooting B & C, if you are not shooting those segments you can leave it in your car or pack.

We are really excited, Paul, Zach, and myself have put in 12 hour days setting up, and it's looking really fun. Each Segment will have a mix of stages, some props, some prone, some positional... we have the mover there, we have a 2 story barricade on the way out, we have a few scramblers, and the 1 Mile shot. Very happy so far. Aside from the Mile Shot, we'll have at least 3 stages with targets beyond 1000 yards, so that will be very cool.

I may film a dry run and post it, cause to me it looks like a fun match.

Thanks to In Motion Targets for getting this out, what a superb piece of craftsmanship. Top notch is was every bit as plug and play as advertised

A scrambler is a run and gun stage, you'll shoot, then scramble to a new position, shoot and scramble to another :)

I am really excited about the match Frank. I just have a stupid question. You say 70% of our pistol rounds will be in one stage, and 30% in the other. Well if the round count is 100, does that mean we have to shoot 70 rounds in one stage?

I only ask because that is about twice when I would normally shoot in a USPSA match. The most I can carry in any given stage will be 60 rounds.

See you in a couple of days big guy.

Frank, on the moving stages will we be able to measure the movement of the target with the reticle in our rifles in the staging area prior to engaging it?

Thanks
 
My guess would be no. You don't want it to be too easy now do you?
 
2014 in process...


Last year was LRI's first attendance to the Hide Cup. We donated a trophy rifle and upon seeing it, Frank made the call that it was going to be awarded to the match winner. As many know, George Gardner went home with a new rifle last year.

With a reception like that, we had to do an encore. This year we've up'd the ante a bit. Here's the particulars:

F/N built Winchester CRF Classic long action chambered for the MK248 Mod 1 spec 300 Winchester Magnum

LRI designed/built slip slotted (lugged) optic mount (industry first for Winchesters)

PTG M70 Stealth DBM

Manner's T5A stock

LRI concept design bipod mount (a little different and kinda cool)

LRI 2.4 ULTACH (Ultra Light Titanium Aluminum Cheek Hardware) adjustable cheek hardware

LRI stock work

LRI paint/finish work

100x rounds of custom handloads from Northern Precision Ammunition (Jared Nagel)



Frank,

Look forward to your thoughts about this year's effort. I know you said the 20th is the cutoff for prizes. We'll be driving down Wednesday and would like to just hand deliver it like we did last year. If its an issue, please let me know.



C.


Sneak Preview: 2x colors applied. 2x to go. Going with a Navy theme this year.

Chad,

not a problem, the cut off is for mailing prizes, hand deliveries are welcome up until the very end.

You're rifles are first rate and definitely a worthy prize, last years' rifle was kick ass.
 
As far as the mover, you will not touch your rifles in the staging area, we don't allow that at all, as you are behind the firing line.

We will be able to put at least 4 shooters on the mover line at one time, then we can go down the line and shoot them as the mover will be in constant motion.

So, while the first shooter might lose a few minutes compared to the last shooter, the line will be able to track the mover before going hot. It's not that hard to hit, it's a generous plate for 450 yards, and it's not moving very fast, so hitting it will not be an issue. but each hit will be worth 2 points, and you'll have two passes to fire 10 rounds

Thanks and awesome. Were happy/honored to be able to be a part of this. This rifle should be a pretty cool piece. Kalli and the boys are laying up paint as I type this. Soon as we get it together we'll post a few pics.

Perfect Frank,

Haven't shot mover's in 3 years. Didn't have any opportunity to get mover practice in for the Cup so that's why I asked. Thanks for the update.
 
They're coming. Kalli's laying up the last color now. Boys have the parts in the blaster. . .


It's pretty cool. The idea was to pull some nostalgia from the Navy. In the 40's the Navy had a handful of M70's built as precision guns. The Marines used them for a short period during the Island campaigns of WWII.

So, that covers that part.
Then we chambered it for MK248 Mod1 which of course is NAVSPEC chit straight out of Crane.
The clip slotted base pays a little homage to Uncle Sugar's Misfit Club
Last, our rendition of Navy digital camo.

Regardless of how cool I may think it is, we must always remember that when 1400 sailors go to sea, 700 couples come home... :)

You know, I have competed in other sports and usually the prizes stunk. But at the Cup, I suspect that VERY few of the prizes will be sold by the winners later down the road. Having an amazing rifle with historical homage custom made, reveals a genuine piece of rifle beauty. I cannot imagine what it must be like to win something like that, but I will give it my best. Who knows, maybe I will get a t-shirt.

Thank you each and every sponsor for your support of this amazing sport and the Sniper's Hide Cup.. I love it!!
 
Dude, Chad that thing is freaking awesome! It would be so sweet if my good Marine Corps buddy shooting the Cup as his first match were to win this rifle as it pays homage to some of his older brother's.

Thanks to Frank and all the Sponsors donating such awesome stuff to the table, this match is going to be a great memory for me and my squad!
 
Just to follow up, you don't need a tripod, shooting sticks or much beyond your rear bag and a sling. There is no reason to haul extra gear this match, sure bring a laser, binos are fine, but beyond your rifle with a bipod and sling a few mags to make life easier is all.

Pack for possible rain, carry a ruck for food, ammo, water, and you are good.

We are feeding you lunch, so drinks and power snacks are all.
 
Sounds good Frank, thanks again.

Will there be cell service at the range itself? And is the pig roast still happening Thursday night?
