Another Shooting Event coming up at Fort McCoy in WI.
Last weekend in September --- 27th, 28th changed to Fri. and Sat. only -range closed on Sun.
You can shoot just one day or all events, awards follow quickly after each event
This is event is open to all Mil. and Civilians
Questions that have been asked
What targets are the pop ups?
All Human Silhouettes
What Size are the targets?
I believe 18”x30” – upper half of bodies
Are all the courses timed, or just the chaos one?
On the short and long course the silhouettes vary in how long they stay up, close ones drop sooner
Are there time limits?
Zombie run --- all targets stand up on the whole course and you and your partner have
3 minutes on the first 16 targets – plenty of time to figure hold offs
then they all reset and you have 2 minutes, then one minute and then 30 seconds to get it done.
How about the pistol course? Can you describe it?
Never shot or seen it. 35 targets at 7-33 meters
open to service type semi-auto caliber 9MM, .40 S&W and .45 ACP. No optics
This is shot on Friday, I did ask Nick about it and you would need a few mags if running a 1911 the round sounds like it would be a fun event, Ask Nick he is very helpful.
I've got a top loading bolt rifle. Would having a magazine fed bolt rifle be an advantage?
Top loaders work perfect on Sundays long range event. Note - Mags are prefered by some.
Most folks are using Ar platforms with high cap mags or Bata mags on Saturdays short course, I ran my bolt gun against everyone with a lot of loaded mags ready and finished 3rd
A mag would be handy on the Zombi – the 30 second round would nail you with a top loader unless your partner could cover you.
I ran my bolt and focused on the long targets and Ed, my partner worked at all the short and mid range targets with his AR
What is the entry Fee and start time?
There is a yearly $35.00 membership fee to the NCSA this covers all the insurance cost to shoot on the Base. Attending this event 3 times now come September the fee is cheap
Friday Hand Gun round $20.00, safety meeting starts at 9:00 am Friday
Saturday 100 to 500 meter short course 40 targets 80 rounds allowed, individule event, a spotter partner is allowed $60.00, safety meeting starts at 7:00 am Saturday
Zombie run 2 man team, was a new event that Ed and I dreamed up with Nick - a blast. Last time no charge I heard Nick mention maybe $10 or 20.00 some day down the road events starts after awards and prizes handed out for the short course
Saturday event for Sept. 2 man team 500 to 1000 meter 20 targets 40 rounds max per shooter – shooter and spotter each shoot a full game then change positions or jobs. $60.00 per person, safety meeting starts at 7:00 am Sunday morning
Bring extra ammo there will be opertunities to practice and confirm
All events were well worth the cost.
Do I need to send an entry form to anyone?
All paperwork and funds will be taken care prior to safety meeting.
I've got a bunch more questions, I guess I'm looking for as many specifics as you have the kindness to relay to me. It would be nice to know how to practice a little more specifically for this thing.
You folks will do well, the format and people that take part are all about shooting and having fun, there are no chest puffers there.
As far as the cost the you get your monies worth of high action packed shooting, my partner and I both walked away last time with new barrels and a complete gun tuneup rebuild from Armalite as well as SMK bullets, back in June we both walked away with a cool bag of stuff from Armalite let alone the shooting plaques that are handed out.
All the prizes were just a bonus to the fun we had.
