Will runs an awesome and fun event, I went to his PR event last October and had a great time. Anyone wanting to shoot PR in BC should come out and have some fun.

FYI - They are also shooting a Service Rifle match the day before (SR on Saturday and PR on Sunday). So if any of you want to make a weekend of it and shoot SR and PR back to back it sounds like a fun weekend to me.

Much of the shooting is not really long range but really rewards making hits.
100m, 300m and 500m will be shot.
The 100m ranges will focus on the ability to accurately place rounds on small targets to earn maximum points. In this stage the shooter with a strong, calm, mental game will do very well.
300m will reward the ability to utilize positions other than bipod prone and reward those who get off the bench.
500m will test both shooter and spotter as while wind is usually minimal at Nanaimo, the mirage can be very trying.
And of course the first shot at each yardage is the most valuable.

I have set up the matches so a new shooter who has never shot beyond 100m is not at a huge disadvantage and is able to learn and get feed back during the match.
At the same time the shooter who comes prepared and has everything wired tight will come out on top, unless they make a mistake.


At the end of the day a fun competition for all is my goal.
 
Sounds like fun, Will check my calendar at work and put in a leave pass...

A 18lbs gun offhand might be something fun or not ...lol...

Gunnerlove puts on a great match where new and experienced shooters alike should come out.

Please confirm if the distances mentioned are in Yards or Meters. My understanding is the Nanaimo range is in Yards, so those who may be bringing data to the match should prepare accordingly.

The range is in yards, I can confirm that I've shot there.
 
I have been operating with a looming range closure (due to fire hazard) hanging over my head for the last few weeks. Yesterday gave us >15mm of rain and it looks like the panic has subsided.
 
After a good day at the range yesterday, a friend had got me toying around with trying the service rifle match on sat, I am already signed up for the precision match on sunday. I was trying to be cheap thought that the SKS I already own would do but found out that thing is lucky to hit the loader tire at 200 little lone the gong inside. So, thought I would ask can I use my bolt gun on sat.? the only other semi auto I is a Sub 2000, its just about as bad as the SKS. Next the sign up sheet said 800 start time for both days, or is that the sign in time? I ask because we are coming from the mainland and the ferry gets in after that?

Do you need a partner to compete? What equipment is required to do well? How big are the dots of doom? What's wack-a-mole? Sorry for all the questions.

They will pair people up. Dots of doom are 3/4". Dunno about the wack a mole stage.
 
Wack a mole is a snap shoot on a double target. Targets come up and you wack them. Dots of doom are .75"/ .75moa circles, lots of people can shoot well till a dozen people are watching them shoot.

We match up people who have no partners as best as we can.
Rifles and gear are a very personal choice and while I think my .308 Remington 5R, 4.5-14 Mark 4, Harris bipod, Tactical Intervention sling and VBull rear bag works fine, lots of other people see other gear as the tool of choice. I think a good competition is one where there is no perfect answer gear wise. A heavy rifle is easier to shoot prone but a bear in all other positions, high magnification is great but the field of view sucks in close and on movers, and brakes stop being fun when urban prone is introduced (relax not by me in 2015).

I would say run what you have, look and handle what what others are using (I am usually in envy of what is on the line) and decide what changes and upgrades would help you make points in the future. The hands on day on the range, entry fee and some ammo is a better investment than running out and buying an XYZ rifle at +$5000 because some guy on the internet said you need it.
 
Will can you post some details on the 500 yard know your limits stage please. Specifically what are the target sizes and how small do they get as they progress?

I am trying to decide if I should bring a good spotting scope for this match and this is the only stage I could see it being really useful for. Also if you clip a hostage on the snap shoot with hostages stage you get zero right?

Sorry for the delay.
Match 6 is squares 1,2,3 moa scored 5,4,3.
Match 12 is Fig 11, Fig 12 and a Fig 14 scored 5,4,3 with a 1x,2x,3x multiplier.
Match 11, if you drill your hostage/ no-shoot target you take a zero for match 11, can you imagine the paper work.

I would bring my spotting scope.
