    Attention shooters,
    Registration for the January 26, 2014 carbine match at the Mayberry Game Protective Association is now open. The entry fee is $40 per rifle, a shooter may enter two rifles in the match but they must be in separate classes. The field limit for the match is 21 rifles.

    To minimize the amount of down time for the shooters we will split into three groups of 7 shooters each and have three different starting times, 8:30, 11:00, and 2:30. Please indicate with your entry which time is your first and second choices. If you are coming with a group of shooters we ask that you send all your entries together to ease the squadding. We will need to receive payment for all members in your group to reserve their spots.

    Please include an email address with your entry, we will confirm your starting time, and you will receive a copy of the course of fire and range layout diagram for the match.

    I anticipate the match will fill and we will have a waiting list, if you register and cannot attend the match please let us know a soon as possible so we can notify those on the waiting list. Anyone canceling before Wednesday January 22, 2014 will have his or her entry fee returned to him or her. No refunds will be given for cancellations on or after Wednesday January 22, 2014.

    Mail your entry information and check to: Steve Dukehart, 308 Royer Rd, Westminster MD 21158. Make checks payable to MGPA.


    General:
    Classes: Iron Sights, Non-Magnified Optics, Magnified Optics.

    No Armor Piercing (AP), Penetrator, Steel Core, Tracer Ammunition allowed. No holes in the steel please. Violators will be disqualified, and asked not to return.

    The match consists of considerable amounts of movement on uneven terrain. There may be mud, snow, ice, drainage ditches, ruts, holes, etc. Care should be taken whenever moving on the course.

    This is a lost brass match. Anyone that wants brass may bring a bucket and help police brass at the end of the match.

    Magazines must be retained.

    No Full Auto firing.

    No drum/beta-c magazines. Standard 20 or 30 round magazines.

    Targets will consist of paper, reactive, and steel targets. Targets will be engaged from approximately 1 to 300 yards.

    The minimum round count appears to be in the 100+ rounds range, if all your rounds are good hits. My suggestion is to carry at least 120 rounds, more if you can, or if you think you may get a little trigger-happy.



    Safety:
    Shooters will bring rifle to “ready area” in case.

    Rifles must be carried muzzle down while on range.

    Muzzles must point down range at all times while on range.

    ECI (Empty Chamber Indicator) must be inserted at all times unless directed to remove it by a SO (Safety Officer).

    Rifle must be on “Safe” during all movements on the range. Shooters will call out “Safe” when engaging safety, before moving from any firing position.

    Failing to follow SO directions will result in disqualification.

    At completion of your run, show SO your clear weapon and insert ECI.

    Any safety violation will result in immediate disqualification.


    Scoring:
    Scoring is time to complete course plus penalties.

    Dropped/Abandoned magazines are one penalty each.

    Any targets left un-neutralized are one penalty each.

    Shooting targets out of order are one penalty per target.

    Penalties are 20 seconds each.

    To neutralize a paper target it must have two hits within the designated scoring area, unless target specifies otherwise.

    Reactive targets require a visible hit to neutralize.

    Steel targets require two hits to neutralize.

    Targets will be engaged closest to farthest.

    Mozambique’s can be shot in any order.



    Thanks, and hope to see you all at the range.

    Steve B.

    Reading the details from last years Carbine Match, sounds like a lot of fun. I wish I had a carbine (and the skills) to shoot out to 300yds. I'll have to wait for the next one so I can build my 18" 3G upper.

    Do you need any volunteers? Maybe I could come help out and see what it's like.

    Ed, I'm not sure if I'm going to make it to the match but if I do, we can share my AR. It is set up for 3 gun and I have shot it at 300 yards with some luck. The problem is January is my daughters Volleyball season so I have to make sure she doesn't have me already committed. I'll send you a PM when I find out the tournament schedule and If I can attend.

    I will be RO'ing this one also. And maybe even shooting. We have a test and evaluate side charging 18"upper coming from ICE Arms to run the course for the RO's. By the time we get it the upper should have 10,000 plus rounds through it. Check out their site and pm me for pricing, I might be able to get some deals to help some of you get a carbine together for the match.

    If you are interested in joining Mayberry, you need to come out to our shoots and introduce yourself. It may take a while but you should find someone to sponsor you. We cap membership at 150 yearly members and currently there is a waiting list. We are a Conservation Association and the range is just one of our benefits. Be prepared it took me almost 2 years to get in.

    Here is a video from the first winter carbine match.

    Still love that video Steve; Marc did a heck of a job. I'm the shooter running at the 3:05 to 3:15 time marks.

    Guys,
    I will help Steve again this year as a RO. I hope to be the DFCO (Direct Fire Control Officer) like I was last year, i.e. running along with you guys, directing your fires.

    Looking forward to it!
