2013 GAP Grind

[SeamusMac]

Some pretty exciting precision shooting action going on.

 

[dfarrell]

Thats awesome! Wish we had courses like that here.

 

[Toolman]

Very very cool.......is there any place in Canada that could hold an event like that? Outside of a military base?

 

[Mush]

This is really cool.
I'd like participate in such an event.

The Argyll Cup at the OSA has a lot that style shooting - but it's MIL and LEO only.

 

[SeamusMac]

OSA looks like a fantastic range and it would be great to see a national civilian comp there but it would be an undertaking of epic proportions! I'm surprised the GAP shoot only attracted 90 shooters but perhaps there's just far more interest/sponsorship money in 3-gun competitions making long range + pistol an outlier.

And it sure is challenging! Understand that these matches need a great deal of organizing effort, staging effort, volunteers' and their energy, and finally participation from really switched on shooters!

What's not to like?

Cheers,

I have no where near the skill to show up for something like that.

Wow, awesome video! Now I want to go shoot.

Quite the eye opener too. It's one thing to get nice groups at known distances with a nice mat etc., but it's a whole other ball game to hit targets at various distances while on the clock. I for one would be making wild guesses at what clicks to enter on the scope if I had to hit 8 targets at 8 different ranges in one string of fire.

I don't think there's anything in Canada. I hear Florida is nice in September though.

 

[Max Owner]

There was a small group that was going to try and start a friendly competition in BC.

That style of shoots are what I miss most about not living in the US anymore...

If we had shoots like that here, more people would understand the advantages of FFP optics. Its something you can't really appreciate if you're only shoot at known distances with no time pressure.

No kidding.

Only at 1:30 and impressed. Looks like fun! I'd hate to put my gear through that use though... I know, sad excuse. I don't even have half the rifle these guys do either.

 

[TFunfer]

That looks like it would a fun and challenging couple of days. I wonder how many acres that K&M Shooting Center covers?

Same thing with service rifle. What works great in matches 1-12 will kill you in international military matches.

 

[kombayotch]

Its a whole different ball game when you take away known distances, wind flags and sighter shots...

 

[Gunnerlove]

And force shooters to engage random targets including movers from 25-500m.

 

[RUPZUK]

I have no where near the skill to show up for something like that.

Ditto, plus I'm so out of shape I'd have a heart attack..
Now if they had a class for out of shape old geezers I'm in.
Well in a few years anyway...

 

[Longshot]

Looks like a ton of fun!

Impressive.
