Registration will be handled in the "Practical Competitions" section of www.ThePracticalMarksman.com
The Practical Marksman Challenge is a project slated for February 23rd and 24th of 2008. The match and its Courses Of Fire specifically will focus on the fundamentals of marksmanship applied to firing a handgun, shotgun, AR-15 style rifle, or precision rifle in a practical situation. The competition will take place on a 2000 acre tract of privately owned property just South of Opelika, in Macon County Alabama. We will host a total of 36 competitors over the 2 day event. Participants will need a minimum of 200 rounds of centerfire rifle ammo and 75 rounds of centerfire pistol ammo. Shotgun and AR platform ammunition will be supplied as well as the guns used for these particular courses of fire. The stages will be interesting and challenging and should offer much to anyone participating. On the final day of the match, the directors will provide a catered meal while final scores are tallied. After the meal we plan to randomly draw competitors names and allow them to choose an item from the prize table donated by our corporate sponsors. There will also be T-shirts for each of the participants with a total list of sponsors on the back of the shirt. The winning shooter will receive a crystal engraved trophy while 2nd and 3rd place will receive plaques.
