24 Hour Sniper Adventure Challenge
20nickels:
I would be interested though I have no lightweight rifles in one piece at the moment. Have all the other gear and the perfect boots to boot!

@jth
It does look like a lot of fun.
Do you not have time for training or time to go to the high desert for two days?
I guess if anyone was serious about doing it, we could post up our skillset strengths and weaknesses and see if we could get a match between two people.
Me, I'm really short on the long-range stuff. :D I have a rifle that would probably do the trick but I just got it put together and haven't spent any quality time with it yet. I also have no real lock-picking skills, beyond the basic credit card in the door latch kind of stuff.
@20nickels
I'm good with carbines and with a long-range, precision instrument but need some time behind the trigger. I guess it isn't until July.
I think I have most of the rest of the gear, but might want some lighter-weight boots.
Mudinyeri:
Just for fun, here are the skillsets/requirements as I see them:
1. Physical fitness (cover 30 miles of rough terrain at 4000-6000 feet elevation in <24 hours)
2. Land navigation using compass and map
3. Long-range shooting
4. Precision shooting (known distance & unknown distance + dope for each)
5. Experience with precision rifle, carbine and pistol
6. Lock picking
7. Knot tying
8. Assault tactics
9. Shoot/no-shoot assessment
10. Target identification ... KIM?
20nickels:
Hmm, rethinking this. Mebe 10 or 15 Mi. with gear, but 30! Lots of hills it looks like.... In July. Also I don't understand, it says USPSA style rules, will you travel unloaded and have to load at each shooting stage/position? Will an RO be present at every stage to score and make sure procedures are followed? You have to wear hearing protection the whole time?

Yes, 30 miles. Not hills. Mountains. See the mountains in the picture below? That's where the competition will be held.
Yes, you travel unloaded. You load at each station. There is a R.O. at each station. Wear eye and hearing protection while shooting.
July will be nice and cool up in those mountains ... especially after the sun goes down. ;D
