2011 CaRPC Night Match November 19, 2011

Hello Guys,

Regrettably I must inform you CaPRC is cancelling the 2011 Night Match. We are expecting a storm and the risk of an incomplete match is too great.

We will contact you all individually about refunds.

I like to call it "tactical tape", others call it gaffers tape

If you got rails, and a 1" body on that surfire, you can just a cheap 1" scope ring.

Hey, thats a good idea Mike.....

Thanks Mike, but I'm still running the stock carbine handguards. I will probably attach a rail soon.

Question, is this match the same place you guys run the monthly on the public range?

Will the range be open to the public while this match is being held, or will you guys have access to the whole range.

Thanks,

Vu

Hello Vu, This match will be ran on the same range as our monthly matches. The range will be closed to the public before we start shooting.

One other question, sorry for so many but it's a decent investment if we decide to roll.

Will anyone setting up, ROing, or is involved with the running of this event shooting in it?

Thanks,

Vu

Vu, Please ask all you want. I hope you guys can make it down.

No one involved with the event will shoot it. We have a group setup outside the forum to manage the match. The committee is not allowed to discuss event details with anyone. All practice stages will be ran by the committee outside of your monthly events too. (helps that we need to practice in the dark).

Sorry, edited so you can read it now.

This looks so unfreaking believably cool! I can't wait.

vu308 · Post by **vu308** » Tue Oct 25, 2011 12:13 pm

Thank you Charlie for answering the questions.

We just wanted to know what the deal is.

We'll look into it. One of our guys will be on a family vacation down that way during that time and will probably shoot.

This might be a silly question...

I've never shot with you guys, but Mike is generously going to help me get me going with my new rifle set up this W-E.

Would it be a bad idea to shoot my first precision match...in the dark?

yes.
We would rather you have a good idea of how everything works before you try to do it all blind.
Safety is of utmost importance.

vu308 · Post by **vu308** » Wed Oct 26, 2011 3:24 pm

So who from CAPRC will be shooting this match?

MDs and ROs?

I take it Randall, Brad and Charlie will be running the show?

I am not sure who is shooting from the CaPRC as they well be treated like everyone else an the must send in a email Sunday. First 35 people get in.

Brad, Nick, Randall, Stephen and I are running the match along with 20 other guys helping out. No one evolved with the match planning, setup or staffing will shoot in the match.

I will reply to your PM tonight too. Sorry so long but I am out at the range testing stages and targets currently.

Did you just let it slip that there will there be a blindfolded stage?

No.
I may have let it slip that it will be DARK though.
There's not supposed to be any visible moon the night of the match.

I have shot a stage where you start with a blindfold on though...

264Charlie · Post by **264Charlie** » Wed Oct 26, 2011 5:50 pm

We do have a stage with lights you can't see. Could thing the club will be supplying a rifle with a very cool optic for that one.

Mmm...question? I have a bushnell 3200, it has a 40mm objective. Will I be able to see the targets? I need to find a place with no light and see what I can see

BBQ starts at 4pm?

What time can we zero at the range?

Match kicks off?

Not trying to answer for the club.. but since it's at Angeles Range, the rifle line is open to the public 9am-5pm during the winter. http://www.angelesranges.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Check-in starts at 4pm.
BBQ served at 5pm.
Shooting starts at 6pm.

The range is open all day to zero, 9am to 4pm.

It's been awhile since I have done any night ops, this should be a blast! Hey Randall, any chance we can get the shirts a little early so I can add a special Nightowl emblem?

Standard range fees would apply, correct? $17ish with target stand IIRC?

We are working on having a couple of dedicated lines for the competitors to
check zeros before the match, at no charge.
You will have to be signed in before going to the public line.

vu308 · Post by **vu308** » Thu Oct 27, 2011 8:29 am

No white light I take it?

Would hate for some ass hat to shine a 200lumen surefire in a competitors face right before a stage. Only brought up because I've seen it happen at a night shoot before.

Of course.
"No white lights" is going to be the rule.
The only exception will be on the carbine stage where the weapon mounted light can be white.
If someone shines a weapon mounted white light at someone else, we got bigger problems than the white light...

I only ask since it was not mentioned in the previous post. Not everyone has non-white light head lamps or lights.

Let's make sure everyone knows this, there's always one chucklehead who brings a white light and searches around for his f-ing brass during the shoot.

savagE · Post by **savagE** » Thu Oct 27, 2011 11:01 am

what about non-red chem lights?

Teletiger7 · Post by **Teletiger7** » Thu Oct 27, 2011 11:43 am

Go to frys electronics. They have red and blue mini lights for cheap. Some techies use those lights to look inside their PC towers.

It should be part of the rules that goes out with the entry packet to people that send in registration emails.

Noper. They need to be deep red.

Yellow, green or blue chem lights are fine.
Chem lights are generally not that bright as to cause vision problems for people looking at them.
It's high-intensity flashlights that are the problem.

savagE · Post by **savagE** » Thu Oct 27, 2011 1:47 pm

I just have a but load of chem lights that I used at a calguns night shoot. I really have no other use for them except for my emergency kit. I have a headlamp w/ a red light but I just want and excuse to use my light sticks.

Any color besides red and maybe deep blue will cause problems to some degree.

We can put them to good use if you wish to donate them to the cause.

GforceJunkie · Post by **GforceJunkie** » Thu Oct 27, 2011 4:38 pm

I got a friend who is an acomplished RC airplane pilot...can we strap a crapload of cylumes to a cheap foam plane and shoot a moving target with the carbines?

Edit: I actually only have 4 red and 6 green left. I don't know what I did with the rest
