saturday was the charlotte rifle and pistol club's battle rifle shoot that they have quarterly every year. if you guys ever venture over to the fal files, moses, runs the shoot and pretty much wins every event.

me and my brother the pitbulloflove made the shoot, and braved the heat and humidity and did pretty well for ourselves.

the shoot breaks down as the first event is dropping eight steel plates 8"x13" at 200 yards from the prone position, using any non optic battle rifle under a minute, fastest time wins. second event is drop three plates standing from 200 yards. third is bolt action drop 4 from the prone at 200 yards. fourth is a garand drop eight at 200 yards from prone. fifth event is three man team drop 24 at 200 yards. the final event is 300 yard sniper event, one shot, miss you're out, hit and move on until there's one man standing.

here's what the plates look like at 200 yards.

Looks like fun alright,but I need optics. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Looks like fun. BBQ and beers afterwards?

That DOES look like fun. Flashbacks of annual Marine Corps rifle range qualification. We didn't compete against eachother, only the wind. Anybody that has qualified at MCBH Kaneohe Bay Hawaii knows what I'm talking about. The rifle range is in a half sunken volcano crater. The range flags at the 200, 300, and 500 yard distances would be blowing in all different directions. The most difficult rifle range in the Marine Corps for sure.

Great pics, I gotta get out there and knock off some rust...

I sure don't miss laying in a muddy puddle of water in the pouring rain on qual day at the Camp Lejeune range.

Nope, been there too. Wearing "gumby suits".

Looks like a good time! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Stinking gumby suits.I swear they never washed those things. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />
The Pitsbro had fun,& got to pick his weapon,I never did at a M.C. RR.

Looks like a lot of fun. That Polytech M14 is a sweet looking rifle...love the camo paint job on it.

the next schedule shoot is sept. 11, and is open to anyone if intrested. cost is $20, details and directions can be found on fal files general firearms discussions, under military style rifle match nc/sc posts.

Looks like you guys had a great time.
