Exit I55 at Bogue Chitto (Exit 30), drive East through town, cross over the railroad tracks and continue to the first crossroad (Pricedale Road), turn left and go 100 yards to Hunter Road, turn right and drive approximately 2.2 miles, look for a large drop gate.

M1 Garand rifles are available for use by Club Members in this match but you have to call the number above to reserve one. Non-Club Members may borrow an M1 Garand and purchase .30 M2 Ball but only the first time they attend a tournament. M2 ball ammo is available for Southwest Gun Club Member’s use in this match but it’s replacement cost is $.40 per round. All brass will be the property of the club.

Shooters wanting to use a club M1 and club ammo will have to contact Doug Bowser. Club owned .5.56 PPY Match ammo is available for use in our AR15A2NM rifles at $.45 per round but all brass will be the property of the Southwest Gun Club.

This is a course of fire that is a lot of fun. It is also fast and furious and designed for the M-16 /AR-15 rifle.

Course of fire Precision Combat Match:

2 shots sighters before each stage.

1. 10 shots standing sustained fire 120 seconds time limit on Army “D” target 100 yards, a sling may be used.
2. 10 shots sitting or kneeling 50 seconds on Army “D” target 200 yards
3. 10 shots prone 60 seconds on Army “D” target at 300 yards
4. 10 shots 10 minutes on Army “D” target 400 yards, single loading
5. Aggregate of 1,2,3&4


Rattle battle practice. Hits on black of target score 2 points.

6. 8 shots sitting 25 seconds on Army “D” target at 300 yards
7. Up to 24 shots sitting 50 seconds on Army “D” target at 300 yards
8. Aggregate: Total of 6&7

9. Grand Aggregate: Total of 5&8

Details on Rifles and Equipment: Rifles must be able to shoot 10 shots in 50 seconds (such as M1 Garand, M1A, AR-15, 1903, 1917, Lee Enfield, Mauser, SKS or AK-47. There will be a separate class for telescopic sights. Shooting coats and gloves may be used. No cuff slings may be used. No palm rests or adjustable butt plates but standard detachable magazines may be used to support the non-shooting hand.

Additional information: There are no malfunction alibis or re-fires in this match. There will be alibis allowed only if there is a range alibi. All rapid-fire stages will start by not standing on the line (except offhand rapid fire).

Zeros for Precision Combat Match:
100 yards; Get a good windless zero at 100 yards at your usual club range.
200 yards: Go 2 MOA up from the 100 yard zero
300 yards: Go 3 MOA up from the 200 yard zero
400 yards: Go 5 MOA up from the 300 yard zero

Note: I said MOA (Minute of Angle) not clicks. Some rifles have 1 MOA clicks, some have ½ MOA clicks and others have ¼ MOA clicks.

This will get the bullet impact on paper. Shooters will have 2 shots for sighters before each yard line. This will allow for fine-tuning of the zero on the rifle. Be sure to have a good 100 yard zero before arriving at the range for this tournament.

For any questions: Contact Doug Bowser at the phone number or email at the top of this program.

Think LOTS of elevation...but probably not. We've had people with 16" M4gery type carbines firing 55gr ammunition (although we told them it wasn't wise) who couldn't get on target at 400, were hitting the berm and showering the pits with debris, and/or IF the bullet hit the target or frame, it was keyholing...for safety we have to pull them off the firing line. Bring a .223, 5,45, or larger.

I don't have the ballistics chart with me but I believe when firing the 75 gr BTHP .223 from 600 yds, it achieves a maximum height of trajectory of something like 8 feet above the line of sight. Watching the vapor trail go into the target looks like it dives down like a cruise missile. We won't be back THAT far on Saturday, like you saw, "only" 400.

With a 100 yard zero,
.308, .30-06 and .223 69 gr bullets have about the same changes in elevation

Zero at 100
Go up 2 MOA for 200
Add 3 more MOA at 300
add 4 more MOA for 400
add 8 more MOA at 600
17 MOA from 100 yard zero to 600 yard zero or 102" (8'6") drop at 600 when using the 100 yard zero.

Come on and shoot the whole match! If you get dangerous at 400 the Match Director (namely ME! ), who has been known to be a bit of an Arschloch when it comes to safety on the firing line, - NO COMPROMISES there - will pull you from the line. Seriously, the other guys would like to see what the 5.7 will do at various ranges and may surprise us all. I hope you will come to the match!

Combat Precision / Rattle Battle / Grand Aggregate
Colby Ortega 177-4 / 25 / 202-4
Ed Schulz 169-3 / 22 / 191-3
Alex Zinke 174-4 / 12 / 186-4

Thanks to all who came out, it was a great day! Everyone worked together in the pits and on the line, the match went smoothly and most importantly, SAFELY!
Hope to see you all again at our next event on February 5th, which is a Service Rifle match, firing at 200, 300, and 600 yards.
