    Attention shooters,
    Registration for the January 27, 2013 carbine match at the Mayberry Game Protective Association is now open. The entry fee is $30 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 Friday January 25, 2013 will have his or her entry fee returned to him or her. No refunds will be given for cancellations on or after Friday January 25, 2013.

    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 silhouettes, 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.

    Sweet. This is always a fun match. Funds will be on the way tonight. :thumbsup:

    Is it $30 dollars per rifle if you decide to run with 2 different classes. And is this considered 2 slots out of the 21?

    My funds are in the mail, for magnified optic. This is one of my favorites.

    To new guys- this is a great match, and if you can operate your weapon in a safe fashion while moving from firing point to firing point, then you will have fun at this one and learn a lot to boot. Come on out!

    Hell, I'm in for this one; I'll shoot my 3 gun rifle. Maybe even 300 Blackout, if I get a ss load together by then.

    Match money on it's way.

    You do know this involves PT right? :innocent0:innocent0

    I wouldn't shoot your 300 Blackout since it is a lost brass match.

    I wouldn't shoot your 300 Blackout since it is a lost brass match.

    For the last 3 weeks, I've been running 4-5 nights a week; I ran 3 1/2 miles last night. I'm 10+ lbs down. By end of January, I should be just fine. :)

    I haven't decided, yet. Shooting a Blackout would be fun, but my 3G rifle is a much flatter shooter and I've shot it out to ~380 yards at Peacemaker 3 gun with success (the offset irons may also come it handy for very close targets.) I could always use a brass catcher, though. I also have a .308 AR that would also be fun and shoots 175gr SMKs really well, and I just picked up 1000 pieces of once-fired Lake City brass for it from Nanook.

    The rules don't say, so I assume bipods are OK?

    If the course of fire is anything like the last ones they ran you won't have much of a chance to use a bi-pod. You aren't prone much at all.

    Bipods sure. You can use a table and a chair if you want to carry them down range on the clock.
