Questions that have been asked

This is event is open to all Mil. and Civilians

You can shoot just one day or all events, awards follow quickly after each event

What targets are the pop ups?
All Human Silhouettes

What Size are the targets?
I believe 18”x30” – upper half of bodies

Are all the courses timed, or just the chaos one?
On the short and long course the silhouettes vary in how long they stay up, close ones drop sooner

Are there time limits?
Zombie run — all targets stand up on the whole course and you and your partner have
3 minutes on the first 16 targets – plenty of time to figure hold offs
then they all reset and you have 2 minutes, then one minute and then 30 seconds to get it done.

How about the pistol course? Can you describe it?
Never shot or seen it. 35 targets at 7-33 meters
open to service type semi-auto caliber 9MM, .40 S&W and .45 ACP. No optics
This is shot on Friday, I did ask Nick about it and you would need a few mags if running a 1911 the round sounds like it would be a fun event, Ask Nick he is very helpful and is all about having a fun and safe time.

I’ve got a top loading bolt rifle. Would having a magazine fed bolt rifle be an advantage?
Most folks prefer mags
Top loaders work perfect on Sundays long range event.
Most folks are using Ar platforms with high cap mags or Bata mags on Saturdays short course, I ran my bolt gun against everyone with a lot of loaded mags ready and finished 3rd

A mag would be handy on the Zombi – the 30 second round would nail you with a top loader unless your partner could cover you.
I ran my bolt and focused on the long targets and my partner worked at all the short and mid range targets with his AR

What is the entry Fee and start time?

There is a yearly $35.00 membership fee to the NCSA this covers all the insurance cost to shoot on the Base. Attending this event 3 times now come September the fee is cheap

Friday Hand Gun round $20.00, safety meeting starts at 9:00 am Friday

Saturday 100 to 500 meter short course 40 targets 80 rounds allowed, individule event, a spotter partner is allowed $60.00, safety meeting starts at 7:00 am Saturday

Zombie run 2 man team, was a new event that Ed and I dreamed up with Nick – a blast. Last time no charge I heard Nick mention maybe $10 or 20.00 some day down the road events starts after awards and prizes handed out for the short course

Sunday 2 man team 500 to 1000 meter 20 targets 40 rounds max per shooter – shooter and spotter each shoot a full game then change positions or jobs. $60.00 per person, safety meeting starts at 7:00 am Sunday morning

Bring extra ammo there will be opertunities to practice and confirm

All events were well worth the cost.

Do I need to send an entry form to anyone?
All paperwork and funds will be taken care prior to safety meeting.

I’ve got a bunch more questions, I guess I’m looking for as many specifics as you have the kindness to relay to me. It would be nice to know how to practice a little more specifically for this thing.

You folks will do well, the format and people that take part are all about shooting and having fun, there are no chest puffers there.

As far as the cost the you get your monies worth of high action packed shooting, my partner and I both walked away last time with new barrels and a complete gun tuneup rebuild from Armalite as well as SMK bullets, back in June we both walked away with a cool bag of stuff from Armalite let alone the shooting plaques that are handed out. All the prizes were just a bonus to the fun we had.

Folks
Just in case you did not see the change, Fort McCoy will be shutting Rifle Range 2 down for Sunday’s event. Once in a while this this can happen do to priorities within our system.
So here is the change within the events:

Friday
Located at Hand Gun range 1
Pistol round 7 – 30 meters

Note: weather permitting after the hand gun events are done they will move to the Rifle Range 2 and allow folks to practice and confirm impacts in the afternoon.

Saturday
Located at rifle range 2

First match event
Can be shot standing in a pit, kneeling or prone – most folks go prone
100 to 500 meter short course 40 targets individual shooter event — can have a spotter
Each individual shooter will have 40 targets and allowed 80 rounds
A great time

Then the second match event
Most folks go prone
2 man team event 20 targets 500 to 1000 meters
Each shooter will have 20 targets and 40 rounds of ammo allowed
Also a great event as well

Then the Zombie
2 man team event Zombie Chaos run 100 to 1000 meters 64 targets total possible
Shooters have unlimited rounds
16 targets stand up until hit for a total of 3 minutes
Then they all stand up again
16 targets stand up until hit for a total of 2 minutes
Then they all stand up again
16 targets stand up until hit for a total of 1 minute
Then they all stand up again
16 targets stand up until hit for only a total of 30 seconds
A Blast!

Safety meeting for Friday’s handgun round, paperwork, and entry fee at hand gun range 1 will be at 9:00 am sharp- if anything be a little early.

Safety meeting for Saturday’s rifle events, paperwork if not done yet, and entry fee will be at 7:00 am sharp -here again if you have not taken care of the paperwork yet try to show up a little early.

I will say that the sweet part about shooting here is everything runs smooth and fast, be it a beginner or experinced, you will do well, there are plenty of folks willing to answer any questions you have for a good day of shooting.

After each event is finished the results are on paper and ready to annouce before most folks have their equipment packed up. The complete range is divided into six identical ranges that have targets stand up, drop if hit and lay down if the alloted time runs out for a hit. This is all done by a computer programed system. After the last shot is fired they just hit print and the results are listed by hits and time- very fast results.

Hope to meet some new folks and see some old friends.

If you know you are for sure coming let me know, Nick prefers to get an idea as far as possible shooter numbers.

There is a designated bleacher area behind the hot line/shooters area for folks that are not shooting any of the events and want to come and watch.

Safety is always stressed here but not to the point being over excessive.

But with that said, please keep any alcholic beverages off the base

On Saturday, unless something changes, we will have a truck show up around noon with hot & cold food and drinks for lunch. Gut truck with actually good food.

As stated earlier membership and shooting fees cover misc. insurance, and base fees.
But all in all its cheap entertanment and fun, and a bunch of us have walked away with table prizes for finishes that supersede any fees.

Another great day for shooting, plenty of wind with gust hitting the 30s, alot of very good shooters from WI. IL. MI. MN.

With all the wind targets were still dropping all the way out to 1000 meters under a time restraint.

Congrats to all

Cheers

A great day for shooting, a few pics from the Ft. McCoy shoot

It must be nice to be able to shoot suppressed.

This is on my list of thing to do now that I’m in Wisconson. I like that Accuracy International rifle in the 3rd pic. Or looks like one anyway. I’d love to have that if it is.

6.5×47 Lapua
A very repeatable tack driver for sure, a Savage LRP action on a Brux barrel mounted in a Mcree chassis with a Night Force scope on top and a SRT suppressor up front wearing a TAB Gear anti mirage cover.
Running Lapua brass, RL15 powder pushing 139 gr Lapua Scenar bullets

Man I can’t wait until the little guy is old enough to shoot so I can get out more. Then let the building begin.
