Thanks for the heads up! I'll use that as an incentive to try to prep the guns and any potential shooters for the event.
Already got that covered.
Course of fire with be deliberate. As for now, I got everything being shot at 300m. I might change it up in the new year once we have a date book in and make it different distances.
Bi-pods will be allowed..............maybe.............I was thinking of having two classes for the M14 section. Class 1 will be shooting jackets and sling or just sling. Class 2 will be optic or bi-pod. That will be the class choice for now. I will have out a final description for this match once a date has been booked and confirm.

Or just have a separate class where shooters shoot like MEN like the OP suggested.
LOL.
With that kind of rifle, bipods and sandbags should not be allowed unless there is a medical/physical reason for it. It discourages people from learning rifle skills. Class I looks like American SR matches, so why not make Class II a Canadian style match: no shooting jackets or rests. As Bolivar says: shoot it like MEN!
I'm aiming to be more like the handful of gentlemen at NSCC that have their senior cards and shoot everything but the rundowns. They do rather well in the positions, actually. As I said, I think the practice should be generally discouraged unless there are physical/medical limitations that prevent someone from not using a rest. Too many physically capable young guys out there that can't shoot without a rest of some sort because they only ever shoot off of one.
How about "as issued" and "non issued", without turning this into am equipment race. After all this is a shooting contest.
This is a US style match and I believe Syxx15 wants to keep this as close the the original match rules as possible without turning shooters away, hence allowing optics.
Now people want bipods, front rests, sand bags etc. There are plenty of F Class matches, this is supposed to be a fun match using M14/M1A's so lets keep it simple.
"As issued" would be rack grade rifles that would allow Hungry's upgrades, orginal barrel etc. "Non issued" would be rebarreled, optics, bipod etc.

It can be done, but you have to get way down the hill, rest the mag on the ground, and create divits at the barrel because you are so low. Its uncomfortable, but can be done.
You guys dont have to worry about us old timers beating your score because we use bipods, not from me anyway.
