Missouri - Big Piney - Tactical Marksmanship comp

[srv656s]

Got out to shoot yesterday with the guys from the Big Piney Sportsman's club in the Tactical Marksmanship match. They do 2 matches, an F-Class type match where you shoot 5 shots prone @ 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, and 800 yards. Yesterday was teh first time I tried the Tactical match. It's a similar format, but you shoot at silhouette targets and shot from different improvised rests. At 700 yards, we shot prone weak handed, first time I shot left handed, it was not too bad once I got into position, but it took me a while to figure out which hand went where.

So, if I remember correctly we shot:
100-off 55 gallon steel drum
200-prone, under a low bench (simulates shooting under a car)
300-mailboxes
400-rooftop simulator
500-prone, strong hand
600-under a bench
700-prone, weak hand
800-prone, strong hand

Re: Missouri - Big Piney - Tactical Marksmanship comp

For those who didn't come, Sunday was a great day to shoot, very little humidity and mild temperatures. I did pretty good from the 100 to the 500. At the 600, I accidentally put my cold weather data on the scope and those 5 rounds went two feet high. I did okay at the 700 and horrible at the 800.

This was the first time we used the roof simulators. The rifle stayed nice and steady, but your body keeps sliding down while you are pulling the trigger. Shooting off of mailboxes turned sideways wasn't all that easy.

We also have a two-gun (rifle and handgun) course that we run on the same day as our tactical and F-Class type rifle matches. It had a pretty good setup that was deceptive.

Our next multi-range F-Class type of match is on 19 July and our next tactical rifle match is on 09 August. All of our matches are open to the public.

Robert,

It was neat watching those wood splinters fly off on that 600 yard target!

I think we probably all learned something. I reminded myself that even if the conditions look "neutral", and the mirage is a "boil", the range's natural left-to-right is still there.... I think Jeff learned to check his target prior to each shot - he would have taken that trophy, except for those Xfires!

Good pics, and thanks to Bobby, Robert, Andy, and the others that make this match possible.

Hope to see you next month, seems I always need to refine my dope....

Thanks Bill! That takes a bit of the sting out of it.

Re: Missouri - Big Piney - Tactical Marksmanship comp

For those that are wondering why we were shooting from underneath the shooting benches and not off of the top of them, the requirement was that the rifle had to be supported by the bench, but not the top of the bench.

That is the main reason we put everything together with deck screws. It makes repairs a lot easier.

I went to Emminence last week to zip line and float. I'm going to check it out (your shoot). Actually I'm looking to relocate in the general area if I can find some sort of job to supplement a possibile retirement package from GM.
I've never shot in a competitive match but I know it would be a blast (pun intended)
Thanks for the intell.

Re: Missouri - Big Piney - Tactical Marksmanship c

This is about as informal as it gets. It's a good time with some excellent shooters. Feel free to drop me a line or contact Gunrunner for details. We get out to 800 yards regularly.

Re: Missouri - Big Piney - Tactical Marksmanship c

These are the next dates for our monthly rifle matches.

Tactical rifle: 09 August, 13 December 2009

F-Class type matches: 19 July, 27 September, 18 October 2009

Start time is 9:00 am for the rifle and two-gun matches.

In our F-Class type of match, we shoot 5 rounds in the prone every 100 yards from 100 back to 700/800 yards. From 100 and 200 yards, we shoot at a very, very small bullseye. From the 300 on back, we shoot at the standard SR 200 yard target.

The entry fee is $20.00 for all matches and all matches are open to the public. There are no weight limits or caliber restrictions, although if you have a caliber bigger than a .50 BMG or something really exotic, send us an e-mail.

If you wish to also shoot the two-gun match, you will need a rifle and a handgun, and 40 rounds of rifle ammo and 18 rounds of handgun ammo for each pass through. The rifle is any rifle, centerfire or rimfire that can hold at least 10 rounds in either a fixed or detachable box magazine, although you can use your M1 Garand. The handgun is any handgun, centerfire or rimfire, that is not a single shot. You may use any type of sight or scope you wish. There are no restrictions on magazine size, nor is your ammo required to meet any power factors. The entry fee for it is $10.00 for the first pass, $5.00 for each addition pass.

Those of us that shoot both the rifle and the two gun match, shoot the the two gun match after we have finished the rifle match.

I don't have any pistols...the match that has the bajillion pictures above was a two gun match? I thought it was just a rifle one, shoot.

I'd love to try some F-Class style though, my buddy says its great fun.

Re: Missouri - Big Piney - Tactical Marksmanship c

The match shown in the posted pictures is our tactical rifle match. The two-gun match is a short range combat style course with a shoot house included.
