So, I spent the weekend shooting out to 1000 with various rifles and got to thinking of a 3-Gun match of a different flavor. Who'd be interested in a Carbine, pistol & long range rifle 3-Gun match?
Carbine Limitations: Target distance to less than 400 and probably reactive steel
Pistol: Normal stuff
LR Rifle: Steel out to 600 and maybe paper targets out to 1000.
Rules would be typical IMGA-type. Scoring would be Horner on the carbine & pistol. On the bolt rifle, it'd be straight points. Stages, penalties and bonus targets would be weighted appropriately to balance skill sets.
Thanks,
Rich

Long range rifle or watching paint dry. Decisions, decesions.....

I would have thought so, but we did a match to a 'K' yesterday and were done before noon. I like that a lot especially when I found out we can practice at that range 3-4 days a week and can shoot on the 600 yard silohuette range every day!

You might be surprised. Shooting at 100, 300, 600, 800, 900 and 1000 yesterday in 2 relays of 20 shooters, we were done in no time. Standard positions were tested and the addition of sighters too added to the time. First shot was at about 830 and scores were posted a little after 11. The stages for this match wouldn't be that intensive.
Rich
ETA: The scores on paper would come from guys working the pits.

Yep. Dude...it was sweet!!!

ETA: Pics from yesterday (from my crappy cell phone):
This was only half of the second relay!
When we shoot on the 1k range, it's a position match. The 600 silohuette range is where the dynamic stuff, MGM targets, et. al. come out.

It would be cool to do, but not many places (that I know of) in the Mid Atlantic / North East that has ranges that have those distances.

Not when it is on the clock.
It would be on the clock, right Rich ?
"If you were one of America's Founders, and you'd just surprised the world... by winning a war of secession against the most powerful and heavy-handed government on the planet, and the last thing in the world you wanted for yourself, for your children, or for your grandchildren was to fall beneath the heels of its jackboots again, what would you want the Bill of Rights to mean? And if the first act, under martial law, of that powerful, heavy-handed government had been to try to take your guns away at Lexington and Concord, would you have written a Second Amendment to guarantee its 'right' to own and carry weapons? Would you have written a Second Amendment that was subject to whatever government claims is 'reasonable regulation'? Or would you have written the Second Amendment to forbid government from having anything to do with your guns?"

That's actually the debate. Par times are used now and this would probably be the case too.

There are matches like this (long range rifle + carbine + pistol). They're kind of hard to find and take a large range or amount of land to put on.
Sniper matches and LR precision matches are often shot at steel targets so there's no re-set. Targets are reactive or hits are scored by spotters.
Most of this type stuff is out west. We're fortunate here in Alabama, there's one down near Auburn at Hardrock Range next month. It's a 2-gun (LR Rifle + pistol).
So many matches, so many guns........so little $, so little time.........
