Clays

targets_clays

Clays will be present on the shotgun trail stage and may be presented during some of the general rifle/pistol stages as well.

Please note that with shotgun, birdshot of ???6 1/2??? or smaller shot are allowed. NO SLUGS OR BUCKSHOT ALLOWED!

If shot with Shotgun, the clay must be fully disentigrated to count a hit. Clays with a pellet or two that do not fully break will not be counted as a hit. If presented on the rifle/pistol stages, holes in clays will be counted as a hit even if they do not break.

 

Bayonet

targets bayonet

There will be some Bayonet targets presented during some stages. We are actively looking for maniquins as targets so if you have a source of manequins please contact us.

You don’t have to have a bayonet to engage these targets as a simulated poke to the target will suffice. Running actual bayonets is not only allowed, but encouraged as it adds a level of historic accuracy to the match.

Steel Plates

Targets - Steel Poppers

Steel plates will be presented during some stages. NO STEEL CORE AMMO ALLOWED. If your ammo doesn’t pass the magnet test, you can’t shoot it. This is to keep steel plates in good condition. Generally they are 6″ diameter, but can be obstructed/hidden by course obstacles (Example from last year would be 2 steel plates hidden behind a barricade to represent a pillbox).

Usually the steel plates will fall upon impact, but if it doesn’t, it will still be counted as a hit as long as the RO calls it a hit, at which point you can move on to the next target.

Paper Targets

Targets - Paper

General IDPA paper targets will be presented and scored depending on the zone. Generally there will be 2 scoring zones, Alpha(3pts) and Charlie (1pt). Alphas are in center mass or headshots, Charlies are anywhere else on paper. Any target that is not hit will be counted as a miss with no points awarded. Two shots per target is standard, but you can engage more than 2 shots if needed. Best two shots will be scored.

Targets will be pasted between stages and competitors are expected to help past and reset targets to keep the match running quickly.

There will be some white no shoot targets present, shooting them will score a penalty. There will be a mix of stand alone paper and groups of paper that can be engaged from the same shooting position.

Keep the 180 rule in mind when engaging all targets! Failure to do so will be subject to disqualification of the stage/match.
