RECCE division is added again. See the first post of the thread.

Also the April match is Pro/AM.

 

[doogie_howitzer]

Thanks for bringing back the Recce! Now, what does ProAm mean?

 

[dlm1984]

I'm sad I missed the one this past weekend - sounds like it was challenging. Hopefully I can make the next one.

How's the pro/am event structured?

Thanks for bringing back the Recce! Now, what does ProAm mean?

Pro shooters are experienced. AM are completely new to the sports or relatively inexperienced. And yes RECCE is back by request.

I don't have all the details but generally speaking, a Pro will be teamed up with an AM. Pro and AM may or may not shoot the same COF, it's up to the Match Director. AM will be scored separately from the Pros. AM likely will have separate prize table from Pros as well.

 

[yellowfin]

I'm in for #4 and 5. First two were too soon and #3 is my son's birthday.

 

[bllistc]

Going to try and sign up for the ProAM in April. Are the rest of the matches still ok to do as a beginner or should I stick with the ProAM? It'll be my first PRS style match.

The rest of the matches will not be ProAM match but you can definitely shoot. Most people starting out will get significantly better by the end of the season. Good luck!

Anyone know if the April match is still on? Nothing on their Facebook page to indicate otherwise.

At this rate it may not happen. NHRPC just sent an email saying their waiver request to reopen the range has been denied. If range remains closed I don't see how the match could happen.

Well shit. I thought the DHS memo said gun ranges and stores were considered essential business.

The match is now shown on the New Holland calendar as postponed.

If your name is still on the match list then no need to register again.

 

[yellowfin]

Now I gotta get out and practice. Been spending the last couple months not at the club...oh so conveniently just when it was starting to get warm we got blocked by the beer flu scare.

going as a spectator just to check out the match & equipment, my SCAR 20S is not set up yet. Still undecided about optics, etc.

Ehh we should've made SH t-shirts or something. I'm a tall bald dude with a short beard. I'll probably be the one bombing all the stages. Lol

 

[sled_mack]

I’ll be helping to get things setup. Be sure to introduce yourself.

ditto.

 

[Gbannan]

I'll be there. Shooting AM RECCE. First match of this type. Does RECCE shoot the same COF as Tactical/Open divisions?

 

[Billl223]

I shot the Pro-Am last year and the COF was the same. I'm signed up for this year but have a schedule conflict and will miss the match.

 

[Gbannan]

Thanks. What yardage were you guys shooting? Just trying to get a feel for what to expect. Any advice would be greatly appreciated for a beginner shooting RECCE class.

 

[Billl223]

At New Holland the max range is 700 yards and it is a full size IPSC steel target. Most targets are with in 300 - 635 yards. The organizers seem to like 400 yard movers. The GGG matches are laid back and fun. Expect some unusual shooting positions.

 

[Gbannan]

Does anyone know if vertical fore grips are allowed in the RECCE class?

Nevermind. Found the answer

Bring it and shoot it. This is a fun match and not taken all that seriously. It is designed for beginners. The chance to shoot the mover alone, is worth the entry fee.

no optics & limited longer range shooting experience! i preferred CQB style.

 

[sled_mack]

Targets out to 600. Mover at 300. These are always fun.

It’s going to be hot with possible storms in the afternoon. Bring lots of water, be on time and ready to go so we can try to avoid the worst heat and afternoon storms.

Just got an email that there’s gonna be pistol stages. Any round count estimate for pistols?

 

[sled_mack]

Bring 50 to be safe.

 

[Billl223]

My "schedule conflict" got cancelled, see you all tomorrow.

 

[lennyo3034]
