Smokin' good day today. I teamed up with fellow Hide brother Dmack for the year end sniper/spotter match at Bradford Sportsman's farm. I ran my GAP HRT and Dmack ran his PWS MK-114 and we pulled in a solid second place. Nice shooting brother!

Dave,
Sorry I missed this one. The last minute planning does not work well with a long drive.
Glad you shot well, again. Hope to make some more matches in 2012.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Graham</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Good shooting! Can you describe the stages a bit? </div></div>
I'm sure I'll leave stuff out or get some of this wrong so if anyone else has a better memory they can chime in...
1st stage:
2 targets each (spotter & sniper), Spotter engaged targets at 100 and sniper at 150. 2 shots at each target from 2 different barricades at different distances, and once prone off a stack of tires with one pistol stage.
2nd stage: Pretty much same as above except using a tree, rooftop, and prone. Pistol stage was a walk-through with around 18 poppers.
3rd stage:
3 targets at the berm. I believe 2 were 6" and one was 12". Spotter had 12" swingers at various short ranges. 1st was Prone from scaffolding at 700 yds. Next was 500-ish yds from a rooftop through a stand of trees in your LOS. I had my best shot during this leg...I lined up poorly on the rooftop and could only see the left target through what looked like a 6" gap in the trees about 300 yds in front of me. I figured I would hit a tree but went for it anyway to save time and tagged it 1st shot. We moved up range from there for similar/shorter drills with a pistol leg thrown in here and there with some friendlies you had to be aware of. This stsage was tricky in that the rooftops and scaffolding were wobbly as hell...I think the fireants were even making them move.
Last drill was the team exiting the course with the sniper dragging a simulated wounded comrade (a bag of steel plates) around 25 yds with one hand, and engaging poppers with a pistol in the other without dropping the bag while the spotter covered your exit.
All stages were timed with penalties for failure to neutralize target. I believe scoring was a combination of hits, number of rounds to neutralize, and time.

Re: Good showing for GA Precision and PWS
We should all give props to the new guys as well. We've had a lot of new shooters come out recently and they've clearly been training hard. We even had 2 guys that had never really shot at these distances before and they hung it out there anyway. Nice shooting guys!

who won? </div></div>I'm pretty sure the winner is Hide member Trovan and his partner (I'm terrible with names and they don't post much). Those two guys are scary-good and tear it up every time out that I've seen.
