Our Sportsman's Club made a change in 2 of our Matches over the last 2 months. In Defensive Pistol Matches, and our 2 Gun Combat Match we decided to allow 22 Rimfire to compete. This looks like a really smart move with todays high Fuel, Ammunition, and Component Costs.
This is an example of what we are doing: 2-Gun Combat Course 13 April 2008
The shooter moves up to the Loading Table: Load and Make Ready
The Shooter moves to the Starting Line
Shooter Ready
Stand By
NOTE: The shooter starts with the carbine in this match set up.
At the Buzzer the shooter moves to a barracade and takes cover, and engages a single IDPA Silhouette with 2 rounds from the rifle at 11 yards.
The shooter then advances to the Shoot House and engages 3 Silhouettes in the front room, from outside the front door.
The shooter then moves across the first room to the second room and engages 4 Silhouettes using a Hostage for cover.
The shooter then moves across the second room to the back door where he engages 2 Silhouette targets, one behind a Log with a 16" section of hollow log on top. The shooter can either shoot through the hole in the log for a chest shot, or make a head shot on a smaller target.
Handgun
The shooter then exits the Shoot House and takes cover behind a barracade where he engages 3 Silhouette targets at 10 to 15 yards with 3 rounds each.
The shooter then moves across the valley to a second barracade and takes cover, and engages 3 more Silhouette targets at 15 yards with 3 rounds each.
The Handgun is reholstered at this point.
Carbine
The shooter then moves with his rifle to a 55 gallon barrel and takes cover, and engages 5 targets at 20 to 30 yards with 2 rounds each.
The shooter then moves to a second 55 Gallon Barrel down the valley and engages 5 Silhouette targets at 32 to 40 yards with 2 rounds each.
The timer stops on the last gunshot.
The Range Officer checks both weapons while facing down range and makes sure they are clear.
The targets are scored like IDPA. Head and Center Chest No Value, Coffin Scoring Area -1, ourside scoring area -3, Miss -5 Hit a Hostage -20. here is where we make a change. IDPA multiplies the Points Down by 0.5. In 2-Gun we multiply the Points Down by 2.
AN EXAMPLE: Course Time 125 Seconds, Points Down 5 (5 Points Down X 2 = 10)
Your Course time of 125 Seconds + 10 Points Down added as a penalty to your score = a score of 135
RIMFIRE EQUIPMENT ( This is what I would recommend for compedative equipment)
Handgun Ruger MK III or 22/45
Modifications: MK III Hogue Grips (Non-Thumb Rest Model)
CARBINE:
Wal-Mart Special with Long Barrel (Better for open sight shooting)
Modifications:
Trigger Job 2.75 LB or a little under
Extended Magazine Release
Automatic Bolt Release
Williams Peep Sight with Fiber Optic Front sight (Adds 8 Inches to sight radius) That helps
Tactical INC 25 Round magazines
MATCH SCORES from 13 April Match
Old Warrior Centerfire (4 Entries) ( 3 of the 4 are regular shooters)
First Place: 164.14 Deputy Sheriff Salty Shooter
Second place 203.6 Retired Marine (Bad Hip) Salty Shooter
Third Place 212.7 Retired Airforce
Iron Man Centerfire (4 Entries) All New Shooters
First Place 304.4
Second place 320.6
Third Place 383.1
Iron Man Rimfire (12 Entries) (Almost all from our Centerfire ranks who left the AR15 at home that day)
First Place 133.95
Second Place 144.94
Third Place 153.79
Old Warrior Rimfire (3 Entries)
First Place 129.44 Retired Marine
Second place 140.84 Defensive Pistol Shooter First 2-Gun
Third Place 233.3 Defensive Pistol Shooter First 2-Gun
Rimfire 15 entries total.
Centerfire 8 entries total. ( 2 shot both Rimfire & Centerfire)
DEFENSIVE PISTOL
All Stages are 12 Rounds Maximum either 6 and a mandatory reload on the clock and another 6. OR 6 on the clock, a non speed reload and another 6 on the clock. This is a Revolver and Single Stack 1911 Friendly Match. A MK III Fits right in.
I think we will start seeing more rimfire Action Shooting due to the high cost of ammunition for Centerfire. I did the math buying my ammo from Wal-Mart centerfire 2-Gun is $20 and change for 1 pass. Rimfire is $1.26 for a single pass. That is 16 times you can run the course on rimfire ammunition at the cost of 1 pass with centerfire. Almost everyone is shooting for enjoyment. I can have plenty of enjoyment shooting my 10-22 and MK III, at a considerable savings in ammunition. I do not plan to quit shooting Centerfire. But I will probably shoot the 2-Gun and Defensive Pistol matches with both, instead of multiple passes with centerfire.
