January 14th shoot

Sunday, January 14th is our next scheduled shoot date.  Considering the current ground conditions and the 10 day forecast it is becoming increasingly unlikely that we will be able to have the Falling Steel match scheduled.  We just won't be able to pound steel, or the nails that holds it into the ground.

However, some of are just bored and want to shoot.  The replacement for this will be a Sargent York shoot.  This is easier to set up and better for crappy conditions.  The firearm rules are simple:  Any AR-15 style rifle in .223 or 5.56.  The target is a simple V.  The distance is 25 yards.  The position is standing unsupported.  No slings.  The object will be to fire one round and strike closer to the bottom of the V, without touching the black, than your opponent.  We will do this as a double elimination bracket tournament until we get cold or bored.  Each tournament will cost one dollar (please bring one dollar bills) and the winner gets 80% of each pot.  We keep 20% to pay for targets.

This should move along pretty well and even if it's cold you won't need to gear up, or move away from the burn barrel for very long.  It won't use up much ammo and it should be challenging.

We will start sign up around the 7th.  I just wanted to give you time to check your sight in.

2018 Mid-Atlantic Multi-gun match

Registration is now open for the 2018 Mid-Atlantic Multi-Gun Championship.

This match is unique in the world of major outlaw 3 gun matches in several respects;

1. You can shoot the whole match in one day. 

2. Prizes are all checks.  This means you don't have to stick around for a prize table.  If you shoot on Saturday you can go home Saturday night.

3. The prizes are generous.  We pay out 50% of the gross.  That is a lot of money.  Over $12,000 last year.

4. We give prizes way down the list in Tac Ops.  By using a modified Lewis class payout scheme if you pick your class correctly and shoot to the best of your ability you have a chance to win hundreds of dollars even if you are way towards the bottom.

5. We're about as far north and east as any major 3 gun.  Only Topton's team 3 gun is farther north or east, and it's a great match but it's not for individuals.  That's why we draw a lot of shooters from the Mid-Atlantic states, the northeast and Canada on a regular basis.
​
6. We keep our squads to a reasonable size and there's not a lot of standing around.  We run our matches much more like USPSA than 3GN or typical outlaw matches.

This 7 stage match will fill up quickly.  Do not hesitate to sign up if you want your choice of days.

Lunch is included for all shooters.  Additional food and drinks are available for purchase.
Shooters registered before 4/1/18 get a moisture wicking t-shirt included in their entry fee.
$125 is very reasonable for a major match.

Here is the link to the application:  2018 MAMGC Application

For those of you lucky enough to live close to York our Point Series is now open for registration too.  You may include another $100 with your MAMGC application to enter that.  The first 72 shooters to pay are in.

December 22lr Know Your Limits mini match

   Sunday, December 10 will be our monthly match. This one will be 22lr only   Registration starts at 8:15. Match brief @ 8:45. 9am first shots fired . Match fee will be $20 . 

       This will be a short 2-4 stage match (only 2 stages if it will be under 40* all morning). This will be different from our usual action format. This will be a KYL style match. Bring at least 100 rounds but my suggestion is 200 in case the cold weather gives us a low turnout(more shooting), or we add extra stages for good weather. 22LR only and no velocity higher than 1300fps.

         You'll need to be able to hit targets @ 25yrds for 1 stage ranging from 2" down to 1/2"(10 targets) . Second KYL stage will be a plate rack at 100yrds with 7" down to 2" (6 targets) while every other shot will be at a 4" target @ 50 yrds.

      Both KYL stages will need to get first round hits to move on to the following shot. All shots fired from the prone position for the KYL stages. Bags and/or Bipods ok. If you miss, your score resets to ZERO and you will need to start over with the remainder of your 20 rnds. Any added stages will be between 10-50 yrds and nothing smaller than 2".
   
      There will be a 2 min par time. Starts will be bolt open in shooting position. All hits count as 1pt. Max score per stage will be 1 clean run on each target array. Least amount of shots fired with the most first round hits will determine winner. TIME WILL NOT BE A FACTOR, besides running out of it. Semi auto or bolt action rifles allowed. You must be able to place accurate fire in the time limit. Optics are HIGHLY recommended but open sights will be allowed if you like punishment :-).
