2011 Thunder Beast Team Challenge

[Zak Smith]

Competition Dynamics and Thunder Beast Arms Corporation present The
2011 THUNDER BEAST TEAM CHALLENGE
Nov 4-6, 2011 at the Blue Steel Ranch in Logan, NM

This match is an extreme test of practical field rifle shooting and its supporting activities. Two-man teams will be required to navigate rugged desert terrain, recognize, locate, range, and engage challenging rifle targets from compromised shooting positions, communicate with their partner and the range officer (RO), and do it under time constraints. This will be a physically-demanding match!

The match staff have a proven track record of involvement in some of the most challenging and influential 3-Gun, multi-gun, and practical long-range matches of the last ten years, including: the Steel Safari, Practical Rifle Team Challenge, Rocky Mountain 3-Gun, SOF 3-Gun, and the and the United States Marshall's Posse match.

The venue for the match is the Blue Steel Ranch, near Logan NM. This is the same site where the Steel Safari is held.

This looks like fun, will a single shot rifle be ok or will you need a magazine?

Paul from Trigger Time shot a 7wsm single feeding at the Steel Safari and did real well. He said it was a major PITA but manageable.

[C Ward]

Single loading isn't bad witha good ammo management plan

[Zak Smith]

Single shot rifles will not be prohibited.

To follow up, the rules will be generally similar to the PRTC, CGI, and SS/SRM rules, with some changes. The closest match to this concept will be the PRTC, if you want to start doing your homework now.

The rest of the match info will be posted next weekend.
