The 2016 MAMGC is filling up. We already have more participants signed up than last year. If you haven't sent your application in yet I suggest you do it soon, particularly if you want to shoot on a specific day or to be squadded with your friends.
You can expect the format to be very similar to last year’s
match. We plan on having 7 great
multi-gun stages that test your full array of skills again. If you’ve ever shot
our matches you recognize we don’t have trickery at York, just the opportunity
to outshoot the other competitors. You
won’t win our matches by having great memorization skills, unusual physical
abilities, or specialty equipment. We
just challenge your shooting prowess. The
stages will be posted for you to study well ahead of time like they were in
previous years so nobody has an advantage there either.
This year we will also be including lunch and T-shirts in
your match fee again, and we will be upgrading to moisture wicking (Under Armor
type material) shirts. In 2015 Magpul
generously supplied magazines that every competitor received at
registration. We’re going to try to top
that in 2016, adding value to all shooters without taking from the prize table.
The feedback about our range expansion and prop improvement
was overwhelming. The quality and
quantity of hard-working staff was also very much appreciated by all the
shooters. We are already working on some
new ideas and we will continue to improve this match for you.
This is a great match and we offer things no one
else in our area does:
- The ability to shoot a 7 stage multi-gun match in a single
day.
- No need to take off multiple days of work to shoot a major
match.
- Savings by not needing hotels and expenses necessary for
most majors.
- Cash payouts that mean you don’t have to wait around for
prize table.
- Generous prizes using a unique system that pays some
people farther down the list than most matches.
You may notice that we have raised the match fee from $100
to $120. We think this is still a great
value and this allows the club to make a little more profit. More importantly we will be able to add more
cash to the prize table. In 2016 if we sell
out we will pay out almost $8000, with the match winner taking home $1000.
