PPPS Rifle Match for Sunday, October 28th, 2008
This will be the annual AK vs. AR match.
Match Info:
For the past three years or so we've hosted an AR vs. AK style match. The original intent was a heads-up comparison between the two systems in back-to-back runs on the same course of fire.
Last year, I mindlessly retained our usual Long Range stage and Standard Exercise stage which was incredibly frustrating-miserable in fact-for those of us shooting AKs. I was painfully reminded of the AK's "nature."
This year I'd like to make the event more about using the rifles/carbines at distances suitable to iron sights / dot scopes, instead of some kind of head to head comparison of ARs vs. AKs. So if you have a blaster setup for work on the close side of 250 yards, then here is the plan for this year:
-Three classes:
-AK Style Rifles (Iron Sighted AK-47, AK-74, SKS, etc, no bipods, no drum style magazines)
-AR Style Rifles (Iron Sighted AR-15 type, no bipods, no drum style magazines)
-Optics (Semi-Auto style rifles with one optic, no bipods, no drum style magazines)
-Three Courses of Fire @ about 35 rounds per stage:
-Long Range (Full size Pepper Poppers @ no more than 250 yards; flash targets ranging from 125 yards to 200 yards; all this from the first firing point, the shooter will advance forward toward the targets.)
-Mid-Range (Flash targets ranging from 90 yards to 150 yards; the shooter will move toward the sides of the range)
-Close Range (Several Paper Targets not to exceed 50 yards from the first firing position, all hits scored minor)
Pikes Peak Practical Shooters (PPPS) Rifle hopes to see you for the October Match wherein we are going to make it "easy" to get hits.
