Registration will open on October 1st 2021 on PractiScore and also a link to pay on the 17 South Rod and Gun Club page.

The Run and Gun is an approximately 5 kilometer centerfire biathlon. Participants will carry a rifle, pistol, ammunition, and magazines as they negotiate obstacles and approximately 6 shooting stages.
Course of Fire:
The course of fire will not be posted prior to the race. This is to challenge your shooting, moving and thinking in the moment. Expect to shoot rifles to 100-200 yds and pistols to 50yds with minimum round count that is TBD.
Equipment:
You will need a centerfire rifle and centerfire pistol with enough ammunition to clear the course of fire, eye protection, ear protection, and some form of stopwatch. Water is also highly recommended. You may use any type of gear you want to carry your equipment. Pistols must be carried in a secure holster that covers the trigger guard. Rifles and Pistols will be carried UNLOADED. Cold range until told to load and make ready by your Range Officer. Targets will be steel so no tracers, armor piercing bullets, or bullets with a steel core like M855 are not allowed. Magnum calibers are also not allowed. Your pistol must shoot a pistol caliber round. Your rifle must shoot a rifle caliber round.
Rules:
Run order will be published several days prior to the race. Run order will be fastest to slowest to prevent backups at shootings stages so please give an accurate run time estimate on your registration. The first runner will start at 8 a.m. Once I send out what time you will be running, please following the guide below.
Safety Brief Times:
8 a.m. - 8:54a.m. runners will attend the 7am safety brief.
9:00 a.m. - 9:54 a.m. runners will attend the 8 am safety brief.
10:00 a.m. - 10:54 a.m. runners will attend the 9a.m. safety brief.
11:00 a.m.- 11:54 runners will attend the 10 a.m. safety brief.
12:00 noon - 12:54 p.m. will attend the 11 a.m. safety brief.
1:00 p.m. - 1:54 p.m. will attend the noon safety brief.
2:00 p.m. - 2:54 p.m. will attend the 1 p.m. safety brief
3:00 p.m.- last runner will attend the 2 p.m. safety brief.
We will have a check list to make sure you have attended the safety brief. If you get there earlier and want to attend an earlier safety brief, by all means.
Basic firearm safety will be observed at all times. Do not point your firearm at another human being and keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are aligned on designated targets. Rifles and pistols will only be loaded under the supervision of a Range Safety Officer (RSO). Loaded pistols must remain in a secure holster until shooting a stage under the supervision of a RSO. If you are found to be breaking these rules you will be disqualified and escorted off the premises.
The run route will take you over varying terrain, maybe through water, and/or over/under obstacles. Do not stray from the marked trail or it may take you into the live fire impact area.
When you approach a shooting stage, you will first show the RSO an empty mag well and empty chamber on your rifle, if another shooter is currently on the stage when you arrive, the RSO will tell you to start your stopwatch to keep track of your wait time. It is your responsibility to properly time your wait time. The cumulative wait time, if any, will be subtracted from your overall run time. When the shooter in front of you has cleared the stage, the RSO will record the wait time that you have on your watch.
After explaining the stage to you, the RSO will give you commands to load and begin firing. Every shooting stage will have a time limit/par time plus points down. If the RSO tells you to cease fire you will unload and show clear pistol/rifle. The RSO will tell you your time and record your time on the score card. Do not run with the bolt open on your empty rifle!
At the end of the race, your run and shoot scores will be calculated. There will be a random draw of prizes from sponsors that will be awarded.
There will be medical personnel at the event in case of emergencies but be aware of over exertion. It will be hot. There is no shame in slowing down and walking. If you believe you cannot complete the event, an RSO will assist in transporting you back to the start.
If you are a valid RSO/SO/want to help, please email me at: 17SRNG@gmail.com
RSO/SO/Staff will shoot for free on Friday
Registration will open on October 1st 2020. We will get a link to pay for the event and for RSO/staff/Runners to sign a waiver.

Can't make this one either BTW. Family flying in on the 10th. Next year I'm making up for this 2021 disaster.

Ellis has a bunch of team and night matches next year. Only 2 individual matches that I saw. I guess I need to make a friend to run with.
