Ashland Lake Gun Club

August 25th Tactical Match

Saturday was planned to be a tough day, and conditions made it tougher. Gusty winds and 300 yard shots with 5.56 weapons are hard, but then try shooting from a shaky platform at 225 yards after running 75 yards. That’s some of what the “B-Team” was doing on Saturday, a small hardcore group of tactical shooters who were out to test themselves and their equipment. (Sorry guys, the name “A-Team” was taken by some bozos in California)

There were four stages, all challenging for the shooter. They were divided into three groups, lots of movement, some movement, and no movement. The first stage “Poorly Planned Ambush in the Malakalaka Desert” found the shooter engaging targets from 300 yards all the way to 50 yards. The second stage called “CQB with the PRDDA” involved some movement around obstacles, slicing the pie, and difficult shooting on targets wearing t-shirts and hats from 50 yards down to 10 yards with the same weapon that was used at 300 yards. Stage 3 was a drill used by the elite Delta force, and the fourth and final stage was the brainchild of a man named Hackathorn, and was a series of drills including a carbine version of “El Presidente’.

A high round count made sure that all aspects of a shooters toolbox were tested (104 rounds, all limited Vickers Count!) and when the dust finally settled, Mike “Hoss” McGreer’s excellent shooting overcame the raw speed of Jason “Crazy Legs” Henthorne to win the day.

As Larry Vickers says, “Speed is Fine, but Accuracy is Final”.

Thanks to all who helped, especially Stony Smith who was the SO and course designer for stages 3 and 4, and Mark McJunkin who tirelessly help set up and tear down. Thanks again guys!
