If he offered extra points like the second day at the last Vantage match I would.
You are such a point whore Craig.

You are such a point whore Craig.
I do my best.
I don't see any safety issues with us shooting movers attached to a long 1X2 pole. I have done exactly that at a number of other matches, and it always went off without a hitch. There are some minor things that need to be done to insure the mover goes the same speed for everyone, but that is easy to set up. It really isn't different than having people score targets from down in the target pits. The person holding the mover just stays on the same walkway that the target scorer's walk on to score targets. We will discuss it again with the board after they finish up some of their first of the year meetings, and all the attendant issues.
Excellent. While we don't get much wind practice on the west side at least we'll get some practice with movers.
I am curious - How do you get different target holders to walk at the same (or close to the same) speed?

I would guess by is using a set pace count per second... would we be using cardboard targets for the movers? I have done what Unknown is talking about before and it is fun. Study up your math skills
You could also do 2 movers in the pits going opposite directions with different colored cardboard to keep the same duel COF going.
Add markers at the start on each side and in the middle as no shoot area's while the walkers are getting up to pace and crossing over in the center.
Surveyors paint spots at 3' intervals and make sure the walkers count 1 second a step will ensure a 3 mph walk speed.

For movers we can just throw some Chain-mail on those Deer....
I think a Denver Broncos helium balloon being towed by a remote control car on a 10 foot string along the 100 or 200 yard line would be a great target.
Perfect. Simple and straight forward.
To make the mover consistent is really simple. You put marks on the walkway about 30" apart, then used a sort of metronome device to pace out the steps. It is an extremely simple way to give everyone the same speed mover. Cardboard type IPSC/IDPA targets stapled onto a 16' 1X2 works perfectly. No shoots, can be placed at the end of the run to insure that shooters cease shooting when the run, or the person with the mover simply drops the mover below the berm after the run finishes.
An interesting twist that keeps people aware of the "Be sure of your target and what is beyond" is tp place steel at various places during the run. If the shooter isn't paying enough attention, they can waste a round on the steel. If you only get 5 rounds per run, a shot wasted on the steel can cost 20% of your score (ouch).

Hey Guys,
Jake Vibbert had to back out of the Kettle Falls team match. I need a shooting partner let me know and you'll have to sqaure up with Jake on the entry fee.

If youd like PM me a little information...
Here is the match thread

During our regularly scheduled match on March 01,2014, many (if not most) of our regular shooters will be attending a different match in Eastern Washington.
We thought this would allow us the opportunity to allow new shooters, and those people who have had passing interest in our practical rifle program to try out the props, shoot steel at various distances, and familiarize themselves with the program without the pressure of jumping into a match for their first exposure.
So, on March 1, 2014 we will begin an orientation/familiarization program at 08:30. This program will include safety issues, rules, scoring, and most importantly, shooting steel at various distance using our various props. We would like to have 5-6 shooters who have shot in at least 3 matches to assist the newcomers. Everyone, including the experienced shooters will get to take lots of turns on the various props. Experienced shooters can use this session to coach, and to practice.
By allowing the more experienced shooters to shoot from the props, the newcomers will be able to see different techniques and gear in use.
Range fees will be $15 for non-members of Upper Nisqually Sportsman's Club, and $10 for members.
Please remember:
1. Check all your bullets with a magnet as no bullets witn any ferrous content will be allowed.
2. The maximum power level for all cartridges is rounds similar to 30-06, and 8mm Mauser. NO MAGNUMS.
3. Eye and ear protection is required.
If you are interested in attending as a participant, or coach, please send a return email back letting us know you will be there.

I need an e mail adress for the unsc, I sure its on here some place but I have a hard time on computers.
Great idea for the March UNSC match. Great way for new people to get a feeling for this sport without the pressure of a match behind it.
Also a good opportunity for the regulars to get some easy going practice time on the barricades.

Excited for the march UNSC match. I'll be staying "behind" to keep an eye on the dogs (also, holy match fee!), so I'm gonna come get some practice, help out, take photos, etc.
Ok Laurel held a rather large gun to my head... where do I sign up for this gig?
DWkuska,
I already have you signed up..
Anton
I already have you signed up..

We just got news that we are going to again have access to the 100 yard range in addition to the 550 yard range for the matches at UNSC. That means we can take in more shooters, and have more courses of fire. Kevin and I have been discussing the match format for April, but haven't finalized it yet.
Let's just say it'll be awesome.
In other news that isn't nearly as neat as getting back onto the 100 yard range, the club is also getting us a spot indoors to store our targets and some gear. Not having to haul targets and gear back and forth each time will be really great.
Looking forward to meeting at least some of you on Saturday. Does anyone know if we are we starting at 8 am or later?
Scheduled start time is 08:30 AM. Please check your email and make sure you are on the mailing list though. I'm the guy running the course on 01 March, and unless I can kick the junk I caught earlier this week, I will need to cancel. I'll be sending out an email tomorrow morning if I haven't improved enough to run things. Mainly, I think it would just be inconsiderate as hell to pass along the lung junk I caught to everyone else.
If it's anything like what I had 2 weeks ago, take some time. That shit knocked me on my ass for a solid 10 days.
I have to cancel the practical rifle event scheduled for 01 March 2014 at Upper Nisqually Sportsman's Club. I had hoped I would kick this bug in time to be there, but it just isn't happening, and I know no one wants what I have.
Kevin and I have been discussing rescheduling to the May 3 match date when we will have access to both the 550 and 100 yard ranges. This means we would have the ability to do much more shooting than we could do with only one range.
When we finalize the reschedule date, another email will be coming out.
If you know anyone that was planning on coming to the March 1 event, please make sure they know it has been cancelled.
Regrets,
Anton

Sorry to hear that Anton. I hope you get better soon, and I'll see you at next month's event. This year's flu season has been especially nasty; hearing lots of folks who've been laid up.

I suppose it was my turn. Eventually the odds are due to catch up with me. I haven't had a cold or flu in over 5 years, so I was due to catch some kind of crap soon. Now I have it out of the way for another 5 years or so.
Get better Anton!
Practical Rifle @ UNSC
We again have use of the 100 yard range for the short range portion of our matches. Therefore, we are increasing our attendance to 30 shooters for the April 5, 2014 match.
The reservation list for the 05 April 2014 match is now open. Kevin will keep track of the list, and post it online on Snipershide.com, so you can look there to insure your name got posted to the list. Kevin's email is [email protected].
The familiarization/orientation that was scheduled for 01 March, and got cancelled due to my illness, has been rescheduled to 03 May 2013. As we now have access to both the 550 and 100 yard ranges, we will also hold an abbreviated match (15 shooters for the match, and 15 shooters for the familiarization/orientation) on the same day.
We will split up the match shooters, and the shooters for the familiarization/orientation onto different ranges. Then, at the half way point, both groups will swap ranges. This way, both groups get to shoot both distant and close targets, and we expect to be able to do more shooting.
We won't open the list for the May match until the April 2014 Match is completed. However, I will be happy to begin keeping track of anyone interested in attending the familiarization/orientation. Rescheduling the familiarization/orientation is a very high priority for us, and having access to both ranges will allow us to present an even better program to those people interested in attending.
The match format for April will be posted after Kevin and I finalize it, but we anticipate it to follow the format of the February match. Be prepared for a cold bore shot, a dot drill and some position shooting though.

ATTENTION ALL:
Kevin has the list up and running. You can email Kevin to get a spot on the list, but he probably won't be updating the list until after he gets home from work in the evenings. Don't be impatient, he will eventually get you on the list... He has never let me down yet.

I remain confident in you, and think it would be a safe bet for me if I could get anyone to bet against you..
I would bet against me ever completing a marathon....other than that I think I can do just about anything that doesn't require physical exertion. Or sweating... Or working hard...
Hello to all, I will be looking forward to shooting in the match with what looks like a good bunch some time around Oct-Jan. Aim Small Miss Small
Sign me up for an April spot (if its still available).
