Re: Sin City Precision Rifle Challenge

Thanks for a great match Kurt and crew. Excellent work.

I learned some very important lessons this match.

-Vegas and hangover are now synonymous in my book.

-For my rifle, trim brass EVERY time unless you want a 1.5 minute zero shift and 4 zeroed stages.

Good to see everyone. Congrats to Jason on the win.
 
Re: Sin City Precision Rifle Challenge

Thanks to the Vegas crew for putting in the many volunteer hours to put this match together. The work was much appreciated as I'm sure all competitiors had a great time.

That prize table was unlike any other.. it's the kind of "out of box" thinking that I like to see (and feel.. just kidding?).

Now the next question is what to get with that USO Cert and what to put it on..
 
Re: Sin City Precision Rifle Challenge

First I would like to thank all that helped run the match,Bear, Werner, Rodger, Mark, Victor, Tod, Ben, Justin, Randy, and Tina. This would not have happened without all their great help.Thanks a lot. Also tahnks to some of the shooters that helped with the set and tear down.
Also thanks to all the shooters for being ready and helping make things run smooth. You guys were great. Saw some good shooting out there. Congratulations to all the top shooters. Great job.

And of course a special thanks to the sponsers for their generous donations to the prize table. Please support them and let them know we are gratfull for their support.

I only had 1 complaint from the range gastapo about driving to fast and making dust. Don't worry Wes I didn't deduct any points from your score. Your score was your actual score.
 
Re: Sin City Precision Rifle Challenge

Kurt as usual you never fail to please...I had a blast!!!
Thanks to all the sponsors and crew, the match ran like a well oiled machine. Congratulations to all the winners. Can't wait until the next one!!!
 
Re: Sin City Precision Rifle Challenge

Though I had a bad weekend shooting (I know I can do better) at least it was better than a good day at work! ... It's just a Prairie dog!

Thanks to Kurt and staff... Great match... maybe next year you'll add a run and gun so Ryan can really feel the pain.

Congratulations to Jason... great shooting with you!

Phil... Nice to meet and talk with you.

Randall -- Another top finish!

4thSeal -- How was the menu selection? Get a "full course meal"?

The rest of the guys... It was fun!!

Re: Sin City Precision Rifle Challenge

Great job done by Kurt and all the RO's! Thanks for putting on a great match-definately most fun I've had for $100 in Vegas!
You guys did a great job, and thanks to the sponsors for supporting the event as well!

4thSeal-did they let you bring home a doggie bag?
 
Re: Sin City Precision Rifle Challenge

Wow! What a weekend!!!!

Congrats to Jason Chan! He took home the first place trophy and the USO Cert.

Many thanks to Kurt and crew for putting on such a well ran match. It as a great time and if there is a Sin City 2010 match I am there!

Sponsors...thank you for putting the goodies on the prize table. 1st Place walked away with a 2400.00 Certificate from US Optics!

Scott from Specialized Dynamics threw down a 50% Cert off an upper for the competitors and another 50% cert for one of the range crew members!

I was lucky enough to walk away with much needed virgin 500 LC 223 brass.

Kurt put up a lot of his steel targets on the table as well.

Kurt will probably post an AAR with a COF so I will skip that part.


As always it was good seeing old faces and meeting new ones at these type of events. I was squaded with the boys from AZ and TX. What a great group of guys to shoot with! Everyone was helpful and gave each other a hand when needed.

Our days kicked off around 8am and ended at 2pm to 3pm each day. Kurt and crew had us moving at a pretty decent pace and there was plenty of shooting. There was just enough down time to relax and bullshit a lil. The match pace was great.

The ROs did an awesome job ensuring safety and made things crystal clear on what a shooter needed to do for a COF.

Lessons learned:

1. Vegas matches cost a lot more than just the match fees! LOL

2. Once you have dialed in the correct dope for a stage..do not dial it in again. LOL

3. Ryan likes to hit the gym in the middle of the night after heavily drinking.

4. 260s can still drive tacks even after having 2400 rounds down the tube.

5. Poker tournaments in between match days make it rough to get up at 6am.

6. Don't bring the GFs or wives if you go to Vegas on Halloween. LOL

1000.00 in Certs for the Chicken Ranch!
 
Re: Sin City Precision Rifle Challenge

HAHA! Hell I had to ask what the Chicken Ranch was.

Leason Learned
1. Do not forget your Sling in CA when the shoot is in NV.
AND SO MUCH MORE!


Thanks to all that helped me and kept me on track, 264shooter, soberbiker, steve123, Vu and the team from TX.

Re: Sin City Precision Rifle Challenge RESULTS

Thanks Kurt and gang for putting on a fantastic match.I really like going up to Las Vegas to shoot with you guys!!!
This match was the best one yet!

It was good to meet you guys that I hadn't met before and to see those that I've gotten to know this last year in Phoenix and Utah!

Ryan,sorry to hear about your troubles.I knew something had to have happened.

Congrats Jason on your victory!!

Also thanks to all the sponsors.

Steve

Re: Sin City Precision Rifle Challenge RESULTS

Great Match Kurt and crew.

Just a few good points to mention.

RO's were excellent, kept us moving on time, they did very well with explaining stage descriptions and point values, and calling impacts.

Targets were great lot's of steel to keep it moving fast but a good mix of paper for precision drills, and they were scored right in front of us and we got to keep the target +++++++!!

Good mix of stage design, we shot two weak side drills, two brricade type drills, and two positional drills (my epic fail), two speed drills scored on hit factor * Everything else was on a good paced Par time that was really good. One Mover at 500 meters, two KYL's each day and two Cold-bores (50 pt.)each day. ALL the Above was great and scored great. A couple of ZERO stages wouldn't kill your chances. (5 would though) If you stopped at 1 or 2 on the KYL, "you ain't shit" LOL.

I was surprised in the end it was alot closer than I expected and i was counting all the points i wasted and was kicking myself in the butt (along with everybody else I'm sure)

Great match again and thanks for letting us enjoy it. I would defiantly love to come back.

Congrats to all that made it out. And thanks to the Sponsors Especially USO and Specialized Dynamics. I'm real curious to find out how 4th seal came out on his certificates.

That was a huge plus. Instant feedback after every stage and no questions whatsoever about your final score since you can keep track of it as you go.
 
Re: Sin City Precision Rifle Challenge RESULTS

4th Seal was on the strip trying to sell them to the flippers passing out flyers for hookers! LMAO.

Good shooting with you and Gordy this weekend Richard.

Next stop...AZ.

Re: Sin City Precision Rifle Challenge RESULTS

Since I couldnt convince the girl to let me go get a rub and tug, I put those certs up on Las Vegas craigs list... no dice yet, Ebay is next, and if that doesn't work, the woman isn't going to SHOT Show, I might have to wonder down that way... !

Actually I only won 500$ in certs, $250 each prize pick and my boys Andrew and Vu hooked me up with another 250$ each !
 
Re: Sin City Precision Rifle Challenge RESULTS

$1000 only get a rub and tug?!?!

On a side note-one interesting point is the top <span style="text-decoration: line-through">two</span> three positions built their own rifles!

#2 is going to be scary if we can get him to shoot more comps, this was his first aside from some local matches (tactical that is, he's a Camp Perry regular)!
 
Re: Sin City Precision Rifle Challenge RESULTS

nearly last place, i shot my own .223 AR15 with an 18" barrel, I zero'd 7 or so stages, so if you look at the points i didn't get due to ammo, I would have, should have, could have placed better.

It looks like your muzzle brake is unscrewing,yes/no?

What's the tape on the scope objective for?

Jason,

Steve </div></div>

I get that a lot..

The brake is puposely timed like that. A downward + rightward force results in very little muzzle movement for me. I cut the threads a little longer so i can still have enough room to accomplish that even if I were to recrown my barrel.

The duct tape on the objectice is to keep the sunshade from unscrewing. I dare it to move on me again. Besides.. it makes my rifle easy to identify.
 
Re: Sin City Precision Rifle Challenge RESULTS

Great match! Extremely smooth and well coordinated. I wasn't sure how such a large group would do with so many stages, but with excellent RO's-- it went smooth and quickly. You guys put on an excellent match.

I heard a possibility of a Nov match being tossed around? I might try shooting it left handed, lol

A big thanks to Kurt and crew excelent match and a real eye opener for me it gave me some good stuff to work on looking forward to the next one. Maybe we can all chip in and get Scott a case trimmer
