Forget the 9mm, you won't knock the pepper poppers down, ask me how I know.

Re: Tiger Valley- Team Sniper Match- September 19 & 20
Thanks for the warning. I was sure hoping to shoot my 9mm...just stocked up on ammo and I like the way that pistol shoots.
I'm concerned enough about being able to hit the targets...I sure would hate to actually hit one and not have it fall over!
Thanks for the help...don't worry, I'm sure I'll give the hecklers plenty to comment on!

Every match at Tiger Valley is a learning lesson to build your skills for the next one. The great thing about being on the Hide is other members willing to share what they learned the hard way.

Re: Tiger Valley- Team Sniper Match- September 19 & 20
Maybe TJ will adjust his targets or allow audible hits to count. A 9mm should work since its the GI rd and we're GI pretenders. Whether he adjusts the targets I'm shooting a 9mm w 124JHP @ 1200fps hoping it works. Those targets were indeed heavy last year; I hit em with 40's and they kinda hesitated to tip even then. Us 9 guys will just hit em high!

Audible hits counted in the two team matches I shot in last year at Tiger Valley. 9mm will work fine.

Thanks for the warning. I think I'll go along with Casey and shoot my 9mm. If the hits count then I'll just take the heckling if the target doesn't fall. Heckling from all my misses is a much more likely scenario.

Re: Tiger Valley- Team Sniper Match- September 19
Yes, a hit without knocking it over counts as a hit, at least in the past. I shoot a G35 in 40 S&W, and hit a few that didn't fall. If you hit it near the base where it's hindged, it's hard to knock over the tall steel targets with any handgun. Just be able to hit a 4"-5" wide and about 1 foot tall steel from about 30-40 yards. There will T-shirts dressed over these targets, so you have to hit the metal for it to count.

Re: Tiger Valley- Team Sniper Match- September 19
Here are some pics of the details of the last fall shoot. Not the coolest pics but look at whats going on. Maybe it will help someone.
In this pics we are about to put the dummy in the chopper. My weapon is slung still and all my gear is on. My partner is setting his down and then assist me in lifting this guy in the chopper.
This one is different. Even though I can see my targets my bullets are hitting the baricade in front of me so I have to prop up my gun and shoot over to get my hits. I could see I had no hits is how I knew to adjust.
Here is one of the barricade I was nailing.
Here is one while unloading. You have to unload and show clear with your rifle before you can move to the next shooting bay. Pistol can stay loaded but rifle must be cleared. Mag out chamber empty. Standard for most matches.
Here is two reloading. Not the best form I know but it worked.
Here is one of a guy running a ACOG.
Here is one doing the cooper tunnel. Knock one of the sticks off and its a time penalty. I had to crawl back and forth 3 times I think.
Here is one shooting under the baricade. Some guys opted for their pistols. I knew I could get low enough so I used my rifle.

$hit! My carbine operator is stuck over seas and can't make this match. I have two tickets for the match and a double bed motel room booked in Waco. Any one looking for a bolt gun operator for this match?

Hey Todd! Doing alright. Need more time for loading, though!
Yes, Jay took me back!!
I'm running the gas gun, and he's running either his 260 bolt or his AR-10 308. If I get my new AR-15 (M4) in time, I'll shoot it. Waiting on a custom rig with a 1:8 twist. Otherwise I'll shoot my current M4. I look forward to hanging out with you again.

),
M4 stocks,
Steel targets,
Silencers,
Silencer vouchers,
A bunch of gift cards,
and stuff that everyone gets as long as you show up.
Also, I am bringing some machine guns for people to fun-fire after the match for $5, BYO ammo. I think thats fair. Or you can burn through my ammo, pre-linked or mag'd for $1 a round.
Here is a partial list.
Browning 1919 .308

your photographer could make some decent change if he took pics of all the persons/ squads and posted a link of them for sale. A good picture doesn't always capture how poorly you shoot the match, so it can be a trophy in of itself.

Re: Tiger Valley- Team Sniper Match- September 19
We that dosent really matter to me. I am a sniper in the army with 6 years behind the gun. Right now I dont have a bolt gun. I am trying to build one but my OCD kicks in and I never can decide what I want to do. Todd just emailed me about a partner and we will see what comes from that.

Re: Tiger Valley- Team Sniper Match- September 19
I have this whole thing figured out guys! I'm going to pair with Nate, he is going to run the bolt and gas guns simultaneously. I'll keep the spotting scope, rifles, and ammo in my Spaulding golf bag, and he can just defer to my considerable expertise for which rifle selection best suits the course of fire. I'll be a like friggn' sniper caddy....
Just joking! I have a partner so at least I got that going for me, which is good.....

Hey Todd that sounds like a plan. Maybe we could even get a cart for it too. As long as one of use has our foot on the ground as we are moving we should be fine. Right? T.J maybe you could let use know. J/K
