IPSC Rifle Match - OKCGC - March 26th

irons_shooter · Mar 21, 2016

200 is a good number if you bring your A game. We proofed one stage and although it was only 13 targets, there were magazine changes needed.

Sounds like a good thing I just got 500pcs of brass preped

the Dillon is going to be busy the next couple of days BUT I'm looking forward to this! let's just hope the oil patch doesn't have any oopsies and I get called in

Later,

Kirk

I think I should have ordered more ammo.

These smaller targets, are they shooting from a support or is it offhand?
I'm going to try to make it to the range this afternoon to get some practice in with smaller targets at a distance and I'll set up the V drill for close up transition.

They are from support. We shot them off-hand, and they are just a little too tough for a local match. The 4" round plates are at 110 yards, the 5"x8" are at 142 yards and the mini colt speed steel are at 126-131 yards. There is a full size popper and a drop turner at 105..

The V Drill will not be beneficial for this match. Just sayin.. Take a target, cover about 70% of it with a no shoot, put it at 25 yards, and shoot it leaning 40 degrees, with half of your optic ocluded. That should get you closer..

This match feels like it might have Uncle Kurt's hand it in!

There goes couples hours practice spent shooting 4" steel off-hand at 135 yards... Jk, was good practice, learned some good techniques, it was ridiculously hard but doable with practice, I'm sure not going to complain to use a support for the match.

Are the poppers going to be spring loaded 'auto-poppers' or knock down? We were shooting the spring loaded auto popper at 135y and was hard to call shots, we would call them then go down and see a lot more hits then we'd called.

What time and at what bay are you all starting shooting on Friday? Going to try to shoot Friday so I can be at the orientation Saturday morning but might have to work a little Friday, still waiting to hear from boss on that.

That's good range mastering right there!!!

That sort of information distribution is great match directing!!! Well done Mike.

All steel will fall. In-fact, all steel must fall to score. We will reset and paint between each shooter (and not with wal-mart $.50/can paint). We have black backers up behind the steel thats painted white.

I can't answer your timing question. We are going to go out and place stands, props, etc on Thursday and then put in sticks and targets on Friday morning, and then shoot. Come on out around 9:00 and we should be just about ready to shoot something. I am guessing we will start at the long range stage so we can get out of there and have it available.

Awesome, Thanks Mike. Appreciate the quality work your putting into this match and the flexibility offered for those with the orientation. I'm planning on coming out to watch and help reset/run the match as needed on Saturday after orientation is over. Really looking forward to it!

So it's like your mom?

irons_shooter · Mar 22, 2016

Kurt and I have worked pretty hard on coming up with stages that test a variety of skills, using his knowledge of IPSC style shoots from all the matches he has shot overseas...

bigred200e · Mar 22, 2016

Would anyone have a rifle that they wouldnt mind loaning for the match? I'm in OKC for work, and didn't bring a rifle, just a handgun. Obviously, I would be buying quality ammunition.

Thanks,
Levi

Are these 6" circle?

irons_shooter · Mar 22, 2016

I think they are 6". Sure look big compared to the 4" ones.
