Re: New Mexico Tactical Rifle match
Charley, will there be any weird rules we should be aware of?
Like no keeping ammo in ammo wallets, no loading the rifle from the top(Ive actually heard this was a rule at some comp, like everyone is expected to use a DBM), no using any rest not attached to the rifle, stuff like that.
I shoot off my pack and dont use a bi-pod. Am I going to be told I cant use my ruck/pack on any of the COFs where others are able to use a bi-pod? Can I use a bean back tied to my rifle where they can use bi-pods?
Some of the rules for comps are getting fuckin stupid. How can someone say bi-pods are okay but not your pack or at least a bean bag that you always keep with you. Hell I'll tie the bean bag to my rifle... then its the same as a bi-pod.
Anything I should be aware of not using a bi-pod or a DBM???

Re: New Mexico Tactical Rifle match
There will not be any rules that I think is weird. Some points I will make. You will rarely if ever shoot multiple stages from one area. As you go from stage to stage you will take all of your gear with you. If you want to carry the kitchen sink then carry it, but we will not wait around for you and we are not going to let any body use a deer carrier to to carry all of their stuff. There will not be any equipment sharing, this is not a team match. Some stages may require that you move through the stage with all of your gear. We don't care how you load your rifle, but you will move with an open bolt and will not close the bolt until it is pointed in the direction of the target. If you unintentionally send a round in the wrong place you will have to go home. A stage will require up to a certain number of rounds in a given period of time. ALL STAGES will be fired under a timer. If you have a single shot and don't get all of your rounds fired, those not fired cannot be hits. If you have a high cap magazine and get off all of your shots that's great, but if they are a bunch of really fast misses you get no points and you would have been better off with a well placed round with a single shot. Do not point your gun at people, that will make them angry and you will have to go home. Be polite to the ROs and a pleasure to be around and I think we will all have a good time.

Same goes for gasguns? we've looked at it at our matches and have adopted the practice of running them bolt closed, safety on, finger out of trigger guard, and of course strict muzzle discipline when moving in stages due to the fact that a gasgun is more prone to a slamfire from an open bolt in case of a fall or similar during movement.
Your match, your rules, and of course I'll do whatever is deemed safe, but wanted to toss that out there.....

Re: New Mexico Tactical Rifle match
Sobr they do the same at Rifle's only as Score High. You drop the mag and have to lock the bolt to the rear so the weapon is safe. One of the bad parts about running a gas gun.

Re: New Mexico Tactical Rifle match
Its two days and 200 rounds... Will carrying 100 rounds a day be enough?
I dont have gear to carry more than that. I'll be putting ammo boxes in my pack if I need more than 100 a day.

Re: New Mexico Tactical Rifle match
There's a reason our match motto is "solve the problem"!
Matches of this nature are pretty simple Kieth, plan for as many situations as you can think of and be prepared to adapt accordingly when your plan falls apart-that just goes with the territory.
Rob01-oh yeah, the ups and downs always come into play. I'm gtting some MAgpuls adapted to 15rd stubbies by Midwest PX, so hopefully 5 mags will be enough to balacnce short loading and dropping empty where I can (but then again, I refer myself to my above statement regarding plans).

Re: New Mexico Tactical Rifle match
I do believe it was mentioned at the set up and RO match last weekend that there would be time on friday for checking zero. As for wind yes be ready for it. It was fun anything from 0 to 30 mph. Its going to be a blast. Look forward to it.

Check in
Check in will start Friday May 13th from noon until 6:00 PM at founders ranch. The range will be available to obtain a 100 yard zero at that time. Competitors not able to register Friday evening will be allowed to register Saturday morning starting at 7:00AM but they will not be allowed to acquire a zero.

Any competitor that would like to ship me there ammo is welcome to do that. You can ship it to the shop address and we will either bring it to the range or you can come by the shop and pick it up. The shop is directly between the air port and the range so it is only about 10 minutes out of the way. Use the address below as a shipping address.

I was curious if it was still an approx or if after they ran their RO match they have a solid "max rounds needed".
It makes a difference regarding what I have on hand and what I need to load if I want to practice.

Hello Charlie,

If you could remember or if you have time, could you bring one of your thumbwheel hardware replacements to the match? I need to purchase one from you. I know you were running short on hardware a few weeks back but if you have them available, I'll gladly take one off your hands for some cash.
Thanks and I'll see you in a couple of days,
