Shooters: Thought I would post Steve's Match Run here, since some may not have FB:
Sign up begins at 9:00am, Match briefing at 9:30, and shooting starts at 10:00 am.
LOCATION:
Conover, NC. Catawba Valley Rifle and Pistol Club. Directions to the range can be found at Directions to CVRPC.
www.cvrp.org The range is conveniently located a short distance off I-40 in Conover, NC (near Hickory, NC). Plenty of graveled parking is available as are indoor restrooms (men and women).
ENTRY FEE AND PAYOUT:
Entry fee is $25 each match.
Shooters will accumulate points in a best 3 out of 4 match format and the highest 3-match point total at the end of the 4th and final match will be the 2018 TSC Series Champion. Any ties (1st-5th) will be broken via shoot-off. Please note this is a series and trophies will be awarded at the last match only. Heavy-duty steel trophies will be awarded for 1st - 5th place finishers. However, each match will have it’s own individual cash payout for 1st-5th place. The cash amount will be based on a percentage of number of entries.
COURSE:
All shooting will be from a paved/concrete, covered firing line with multiple positions available. Course will consist of 5 stages at distances as follows:
Stage 1: 57 yards.
Stage 2: 112 yards.
Stage 3: 163 yards.
Stage 4: 210 yards.
Stage 5: 290 yards
Targets are IPSC “style” AR235 steel in sizes ranging from approx. 1.5” to approx. 8.5” in height.
All targets (including sighter targets) are reactive steel with no paper targets being offered.
A sighter target will be available at each Stage. Sighter targets are steel, 8” round discs, white in color.
The course of fire will consist of various size targets and will also include “hostage” style scenarios, partially blocked or hidden targets, diminishing size precision reactive targets, and other possible scenarios at the Match Directors discretion.
Targets will be engaged from multiple and various simulated field positions including prone, modified 90* prone, various barricade positions, simulated stairstep/stairwells, barrels, tank traps, spools, rooftop positions, stronghand/weakhand, supported and unsupported standing, and other positions at the Match Director’s discretion. This is NOT a benchrest match nor a “belly” match. Come prepared to shoot from a multitude of challenging positions.
“Spotters” with spotting scopes or binoculars are allowed.
Course of fire will consist of 60 rounds, 10 of which are sighters.
You will encounter 12 targets total at each stage consisting of the following: 6, free-standing targets worth 1 point each; 4 aggressor/hostage style targets worth 2 points each - but with a minus one point (-1 ) hostage kill penalty; and two very challenging "option" targets worth 3 points each - but also with a -1 point hostage kill penalty. So that’s 12 available targets with varying difficulty, and with varying risk vs. reward. 10 shots, 12 targets, you decide.
Please note that ANY of the positions described above may be encountered on ANY of the five Stages. Shooting positions will either be drawn on the morning of match day, or prescribed at the Match Director’s discretion, dependent on conditions.
NOTE: Course and targets may vary at the Match Director's discretion.
