Big Ben Tactical Rifle Match (BLGC)

[SA Friday]

Sign Up for the Big Ben Tactical Rifle match on 6 July is open.

5 stages, a 200 yard normal format stage, VTAC barricade standards at the 100 yard, and three field courses.

Just so everyone knows what I saw were issues and I'm working on resolving them:
200 yd stage will have bigger steel and be faster to shoot. This is obviously VERY dependent on how well the shooter sights in their gun. I will also be acquiring copious amounts of fluorescent paint to paint the steel with as this appeared to work the best visually.
Stage timers sucked.
Nooks required a signature before they would let the shooter's score be approved. I figured out why and fixed this. Electronic scoring issues are part of the learning curve for me. I'd still be trying to figure out how to post scores if it weren't for Charlene.
I'm working with the BLGC BoD to get rifle racks for the berms. There were rifles sprawled all over the side berms, LOL. This could take some time. We will see.
I'm working on a set of written rules, shamelessly I will be stealing and revising Griswold's rules from Big Ben 3-gun. This is lower on the list of items.

If anyone else has constructive input, shoot me a PM. I'm looking for ideas for different standard stage designs. I'd like to establish about 6 different standards we could run every year.

BTW, July sign up opened at 0800 this morning and there are already 20 shooters signed up. I set it up for 5 stages and 60 shooters. I think people like the format so far.

6 July stages are complete.

5 stages, 136 rounds. VTAC Barricade, 200 Yd steel, Three field courses. One is a par time with a mandatory reload (on the move) with two strings of fire. So two mandatory reloads. You've been warned.

I might dig up some photos I took.

Would having a visible laser on your rifle count as a second optic, making it an open gun?

No, but short of MAYBE a weak side off the shoulder shot on a close paper target, it would be worthless. I have never put a shot like this in a match yet. Doesn't mean I wouldn't or won't. Just means I don't think you would see any utility in it.

There will be a new prop at the 6 July match that's never been used at Hoser's or my match before. It got field tested last Sunday along with different plate sizes at different distances and different paint colors for the 200 yd stage. It was the biggest time and miss issue. I think I have that cleared up, at least from my end.

Sight your rifles in.

I have a couple other ideas for different props in the future too.

Thanks a lot.

Good to know, I'm not going to use it. Would just be annoying to pull it off and have to rezero later.
