RBGC 2019 Run-and-Gun (5k/10k)

Not necessarily because it's graded on a curve... if someone crushes the run time and shoots above average they would hurt some feelings.

To be honest this year there is enough variation in the stages that it'll be hard for anyone to run away with shooting. The variables of knives/axe throwing and the shotgun stage could mix things up a bit.

I was feeling pretty confident about the shooting unit you mentioned axe and knife throwing...... will we really be doing that?

Stage 1 - IED
Stage rifle where indicated. Lay down on your back where indicated.
On buzzer load pistol and engage 5 targets (minimum 2 A/B hits to neutralize) through port.
Holster pistol and drag your buddy to your rifle.
Engage 5 rifle targets using movement as needed (minimum 2 A/B hits to neutralize).
No shoots are +30 seconds per no shoot, not per hit on a no shoot.

Stage 2 - Primitives
Load your pistol and holster it. On the beep select (2) throwing weapons (knives or hatchets) and move to outline on the floor. Engage both close targets with your throwing weapons. Draw your pistol and engage the PAPER targets as you see them. (2) A/B hits needed to neutralize each target. (20 pistol min)

Stage 3 - Scattergun 5-stand

You may ONLY fire 3 shots from each port. Once done in the box, clear rifle and ground it and make up any misses with your pistol on the reduced IPSC torso at 50 yards, standing.

Sounds fun!

I was thinking about running a bipod for the long range stage but if we are going to be shooting from a roof prop I don’t think it will help me much unless I kick the legs backwards

Not worth the effort or weight. Put the forend on the roof apex and push the rifle forward to magazine contact. Depending on roof size, tuck your legs under you or lay out across the roof.

I have a feeling ammo management trying to make 600 yd hits will be a bigger problem. Typical 55gr will be transsonic at best, which makes all kinds of wonky things happen

40s are bad enough. They feel very unnatural to me.

My "bipod" is a 3.5 ounce sacrifice and while I probably won't need it for this R&G, I might on the next one, so it is staying on as a package. I haven't been running with a 20 lb vest for 2 months for nothing!
