Overview:
MATCH OVERVIEW:
Welcome to the BHTC UKD CHALLENGE.
Shooters will be presented with a number of shooting challenges to include frustration, distraction, movement, and concentration. Targets will include steel, paper, or other materials. You may or may not be furnished accurate dimensions on every target you will be expected to engage. You may, or may not have a perfect, unobstructed view of every target. You may or may not be provided any clue at all as to the location or number of targets on the range. If you wish to change firing positions, you may ask. If you begin engaging the target without asking to change position, you will finish from that position. Anyone shooting the match with who has access to the prize table will not know the CoF prior to match day.
Freddy & Mike are the only two people who know the CoF. They will be shooting the match as a house team for points, but will not be eligible for prizes.
CONDUCT / METHOD:
Shooters will be divided into three squads, each with a BHTC cadre member leading the squad and overseeing scoring. There are three firing locations each with 3-4 stages to complete, with targets dedicated to each stage. When squads are finished with all stages in a firing area, they rotate.
SCORING:
Scoring is conducted on a rising point scale with each stage consisting of a 100 point max. A bonus for completing it with as few rounds as possible is offered.
For example: completion points + unfired-round-bonus = 100.
Some stages with target choice regard longer distance shots as worth more points, so to attempt a shorter shot means that you cannot earn the max even if executed perfectly. There will be random targets of opportunity offered.
Scoring will be totaled via spreadsheet, and every competitor will have the opportunity to check their own scoresheets against the sheet, as well as that of every competitor finishing above them. Once no objections are raised, the scores will be declared final.
REQUIRED EQUIPMENT: You must register Online. Gear - A SCOPE WITH A RETICLE THAT CAN RELIABLY MEASURE IN UNITS OF MILRADIAN OR MOA. You will not be able to complete all the stages without this feature. Ammo, mat, spotting scope, binos. also a good idea.
REQUIRED SKILLS: This match isn't a particularly forgiving one for beginners. Cutting your teeth on some local matches first is HIGHLY recommended. You will be expected to be able to make a range card and depict targets. You should have experience shooting stationary targets at long range, and have a working knowledge of reticle based range estimation. Some running and across the course hiking will be required.
WHAT KIND OF RIFLES ARE APPROPRIATE? 300Win Mag is the maximum caliber for this match. Max velocity 3100fps. You should have a tactical style bolt action or semi-auto rifle and ammunition capable of 1MOA accuracy, and an appropriate ammunition selection for engaging targets out to 1000Y.
PRIZES:
1st, 2nd, 3rd place shooters will be decorated. Prize table will be by random draw, unless a sponsor has requested a specific method to conduct the award.
ACCESS TO RANGE PRIOR TO MATCH DAY:
Shooters may zero on Friday prior to the match by shooting at (your) paper targets at 100 and 200Y until 4:00pm. No other shooting by anyone competing in the match will be permitted at any distance, and spotting scopes, binos, and lasers may not be visible. After 4:00pm anyone competing in the match must vacate the range area. DO NOT APPROACH THE RANGE AREA after 4:00pm. If you appear on the range after this time you will have an opportunity to see target locations and other details. You will still be able to shoot the match, but points-wise we will have no choice but to disqualify you. Don't spoil it for yourself. If you are camping, you must choose a different area of the property to set up in.
LODGING NEARBY:
1 - Super 8 Burnham/Lewistown (cheaper) 12886 Ferguson Valley Rd Burnham, PA 17009-1839 US 717-242-8888
2 - Quality INN (nicer) 13015 Ferguson Valley Rd, Lewistown, PA (717) 248-4961
I have stayed in the QI, and it was clean and nice with ground floor rooms available.
MATCH FEE: $75.00 per shooter
Details: The facility is excellent, and has a covered firing line. The club guys could not have been friendlier or more accommodating. The club usually has burgers/dogs and beverages available too. Please note that most of the shooting will be prone, and that approximately a 15° up angle is required past 800Y. Some with medical conditions may find this uncomfortable, so take it into account now.
Some targets may be partially obscured, partially visible in a defilade, or hidden behind no-shoots.
Most of the firing line is well covered, so we will be shooting rain or shine.
Once you register we will email you payment and reporting instructions, and let you know when your fee has been received.
Registration will officially open tonight, May 1st at 9:00pm. The page below will have the registration form added to it at 9:00pm.
