Thread: Long range shooting course

tussock i would be dead keen on a shoot if u give a bit of notice

If its well planned ill come down if invited -that's if im more flush than i am now.We wont debate much once were pullin triggers having fun.
Depending on how many there are at the shoot and the format to how much pre planning and setting out there will be -many hands make light work

I've basically got a rough map of stages for your place in my head already.. We'll sort it out when you're not in Nairobi and I'm not in a caravan in the Simpson Desert with slower-than-dialup Internet.

what do you both do in respective country's?

My mate owns Wanaka paintball. Consider yourself challenged. I warn you, I suck, but I always shoot for the face.

And your only allowed to talk in acronyms. ie. "Need an ETA on when the SOB will have the SOP for the COF".

Challenge accepted! Me and Thomas vs you and Pete. You can shoot me in the mask all you want. I am used to my targets spinning and falling when hit. Theres only one place worth aiming to make someone do that with a paint ball I expect

Bloody hell, cooking oil? Did not know that.

Earlier this year our muay Thai gym moved to a building that used to be used for indoor paintball, the walls and carpet were soaked with horrible sticky residue, took forever to get rid of. Nasty shit, never seems to dry.

I'd be keen to attend if it fits in around my Roo, deer & tahr trips in Nov.

Simpson, think we flew over that on our way to Broome, i'll wave on the way back

which little bear has been screwing with my settings -Moma bear , dada bear or the little crazyman bear

Ethylene glycol = nasty poison in antifreeze
Propylene glycol = gloopy stuff in food

hopefully the latter one!

Tussock , here is something you might like to use rather than type out for future matches so all are clear on saftey






Safety
1. Violation of any safety rules will result in banishment
2. Firearm safety rules are the baseline for safety at this match.
3. Competitors shall practice good muzzle control and firearm safety at all times. Competitors that do not handle their weapons safely will be disqualified from competing.
1. Do not ever allow the muzzle of your weapons to point at anyone.
2. Do not load your weapons until directed to do so by a range officer.
3. Do not put your finger on the trigger until your sights are aligned with your target.
4. Obey all Range Officer commands immediately.
4. In addition an Accidental Discharge, the stage RO may call an A.D. using his own judgement. Example: if the competitor was clearly not engaging a target. Any round that does not impact within 10 yards of the target the competitor is engaging is declared to be an AD.
5. The entire competition area is a "cold range."
1. No firearms may be loaded at the match site except under the direct command of a RO.
2. Long-guns shall be kept unloaded, and carried muzzle up or muzzle down and the action open.
3. "Sweeping" any person with a weapon's muzzle will result in immediate D.Q.
6. All firearms must have a functioning safety, subject to verification by an RO at any time.
7. Any firearm or ammunition deemed by any RO or match staff to be "unsafe" for any reason may not be used in the match until a determination is made by the match director that it may continue
8. Any firearm that can be demonstrated by any RO or match staff to have a hammer/striker that will fall without the trigger being pressed shall be deemed unsafe and may not be used in the match until repaired.
9. Any rifle slung must have an empty chamber, unless directed by the stage RO.
10. No person shall consume or be under the influence of alcohol or non-prescription drugs at the match site. Any person found to be impaired and unsafe as a result of legitimate prescription drugs may be directed to stop shooting and requested to leave the range.
11. Eye and ear protection is mandatory.
12. This match includes dynamic shooting in natural terrain. Match staff will communicate what are safe directions to point firearms while shooting, or while waiting. This will typically be presented during a stage or match briefing. The competitor shall note and obey the safe muzzle direction guidelines.
Equipment
1. Rifle
1. Minimum caliber: .223
2. Maximum caliber: .338 Lapua Magnum
2. Any shooting accessories may be used provided they are carried by the competitor during every stage. Accessories include but are not limited to:
1. bipods, bags, shooting sticks, slings, jackets, gloves, or other shooting support devices
2. optics such as spotting scopes, binoculars, and range-finders
3. The competitor may use only one rifle during the course of the entire match. A rifle is defined to consist of a specific combination of receiver/action, stock, barrel, muzzle devices, sighting systems.
4. Ammunition and magazines may be replenished at any time.
5. Ammunition that must be "fired" to be unloaded once chambered is declared to be unsafe and may not be used in this match. All firearms must be able to be completely unloaded without firing a round.
6. No steel core, steel jacketed, armor piercing, incendiary or tracer bullets are permitted.
7. In the event a weapon breaks or becomes inoperable during the match, the shooter may substitute a weapon of substantially similar configuration for subsequent stages, but only after approval by the Match Director.

SCORING
Each stage will be scored in a manner to reward accuracy, other factors, or some combination thereof. Accuracy will be emphasized, and first-round rifle hits will be worth more than second round hits (if permitted by the stage brief). Stage scores will be normalized into match points to comprise the overall match scores. Full scoring details to follow.
PENALTIES
1. The Match Director has the right to disqualify any competitor for Unsportsmanlike Conduct based on his judgment.
Note: rules are subject to change up until the match date. Final match and stage briefings supersede all prior information.
