I saw this on Sniper's Hide. I'm hoping they'll do this next year, as I'm in no shape to do this in 2012. Anyone else interested?

 

[Numidian]

Awesome. I wish I knew enough about long range shooting to give that a go.

 

[Indiana Jones]

Utah? Sniper games? Shooting? IM IN. $585? Maybe next year

A couple guys here are doing it. I have to get hitched this year, seems like in July no less. No dice for me.

 

[Zak Smith]

Hi guys,

I'm the match director. If July doesn't work for you, we have another team event in October (Thunder Beast Team Challenge) - though it's different. It's less physical than the 24HSAC but more physical than any normal match, and will have more shooting,

best regards,
Zak

Trebark and I are a team for this one.

I'm the team leader and the carbine gunner. He is the precision gunner. We are prepping as we speak, looking at every aspect of long-range sniper operations in extreme terrain. One of the biggest challenge is the physical challenge of moving 60+ lbs of gear across what we estimate will be 10,000 ft of vertical change over 30+ miles in 24 hours. If you have moved over hilly terrain with weapons and ammo, you know how heavy a load becomes.

If anyone is interested in doing this one, PM me. I have a guy that is interested but without a partner.

I need friends who shoot, unlike the weenies I hang out with. That and I need to get in shape again.

I looked at this match but it is a bit far for me.

Good luck to Team Trebark

Zak - Welcome! Hopefully next year will be the year to shoot one of your matches. They all look like a great time. No luck for October either, I have my licensing exam at the end of that month - my time is pretty much spoken for, again, this year.

I seem to not be getting email notifications of replies, so if you need me to answer something, someone ping me via email and I'll show up. Have fun training!

 

[hank440]

WOW that match looks bad ass, too bad I have rifle training for my boys scheduled for that very weekend, maybe next year.

I hope since it's in Utah there are no violent hoards of Mormons stalking competitors for that realistic 2 way range experience.

 

[LoopDLoop]

can active military compete?

 

[Zak Smith]

Yes

 

[redrumtc]

hot stuff right there

 

[glock_forty5]

Not this year but is on my list for sure!

 

[stu929]

This sounds awesome but having never shot anywhere close that distance and the amount of money to play... I would have some reservations.

Really want to though!

Need practice at 600 first!

Was out this morning with 30lb pack on my back for a run/hike. Looking forward to this match.

 

[DZ]

I meant to ask yesterday - what pack are you planning on using?

 

[Copper]

I was talking with my boys about these matches. They are both interested but it will have to wait as they are are only 11 and 13. The only thing with them would be carrying weight.

Eberlestock Gun Slinger II. James has a GS1 and I used it this past deer season. It's a great pack. Did some reading and the GS2 has some features that improved on the GS1.
