[Drmsparks]

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!

Not sure if I'm running the m1a this year but I'm definitely going to put this on my list!!!!

 

[jmira]

I am going to head up as well, I hear I missed out on the last one..

Bob-
Use better brass this year

see you on the range!

 

[photoracer]

Maybe I can do this match after all. Use my 14.5" carbine instead of my 18" 3-gun AR.

 

[41maghunter]

James,
You bet. I will also be better lubricated!!!! The BCG that is.

What is meant by a carbine match?
Is there a barrel length, gun type, restriction?
Thanks

 

[steveinmd]

We call it a carbine match because that is what most competitors use. There are no restrictions on rifles, you'll see a lot of AR15's, some M1a's, and maybe even a Garand. Any safe rifle that you can reload quickly and carry approximately 150+\- rounds of ammo for would work.

Thanks Steve. App in mail.

So....

I only have bench-rest shooting experience with my rifle. I have never been running around with it... should I try this out? I havent taken any carbine courses, but damn, this sounds crazy fun.

Should I sit this out until I take a carbine course that actually has me strolling about and kicking dirt with my shoes while I hold a bang stick?

Rock star, I would recommend taking a training class or trying a more conventional multi gun match. Either will give you some experience with shooting and reloading on the move during shorter and closely supervised conditions. The Mayberry match is a good challenge for those experienced with shooting and moving and they will shoot over 100 rounds without a stop in the action.

That being said, may I suggest York IWLA as a starting point (15 min north of the Pa line off of 83)? We teach the ways of multigun in a no pressure venue called a FunShoot, and turn up the heat with our action multigun shoots for experienced competitors. We are very new shooter friendly.
We are currently asleep for the winter. We have a few fun things to do in Jan and Feb to get you warmed up, and go full throttle come March.

Watch our blog www.yorkpistol.blogspot.com for updates Come on down (up) and you will be assimilated. We will have you ready for Mayberry by next year (this will be my second year, it is a blast! But run and gun does take a bit of a different discipline to get used to).

Cheers

anyone have a lead on what type of M80/7.62 I can find that is not a bi-metal core bullet? I don't want to destroy his steel, and from I am reading, M80 spec is actually bi-metal..

 

[photoracer]

I have a lot of different brands of 145-150g 7.62x51 I could check a few to see which are and which aren't the ones with base type steel penetrators.

Wow Brennan you've been silent on here for a while and then you throw this out. I might just have to take some annual leave (if I can get it) and come shoot this. If Steve makes this even for Lefty shooters there should be some differences in the times this year
