The 2013 Man vs Man competition signup is up! Get yourselves ready...
For those who haven't gone before, the Man vs Man competition is a double-elimination tournament in which you go head-to-head with another shooter, attempting to knock down steel plates and hit your stop plate faster than your opponent. Each matchup is best-two-out-of-three, and the steel targets range from small plates to large poppers.
Last year we had 52 shooters in three pistol divisions, and 28 shooters in two shotgun divisions. So---bring lots of ammo! If you win, you'll be doing quite a bit of shooting!
Pistol divisions this year: Limited, and Open. (Open means optical sight and/or compensator. Limited is everything else.)
Shotgun divisions: Semi-auto and Pump.
We'll shoot pistol in the morning, then shotgun in the afternoon. Cost for the match (entry in one pistol division and up to both shotgun divisions, if you like, plus a FANTASTIC lunch) is $20. (If you want to bring the family to watch, lunch is $5. The food is excellent.)
Each year the steel setup is a little different, but we'll have 6 steel plus a stop plate for pistol, and 5 steel plus a stop plate for shotgun. As we said, it is double-elimination, so you'll get at minimum four runs for the day. (Pistol is double-elimination, shotgun is single-elimination, but you can do shoot both shotgun divisions if you like.)
Sometime around mid-morning, we'll also probably start up a plate rack side match, so you'll want to try that out also.
Man vs Man is a ton of fun---and surprisingly stressful. You are trying to beat your opponent, but we run two pairs of competitors at a time. As such, there is a LOT of shooting going on, and the people who can keep their head, not let all the banging noises make them rush, and aim every time tend to come out winners.
Here's a couple of videos from previous year's matches:
We get people of all skill levels, and everyone has a good time.
We'll be going out to the range on Saturday May 18th at about 5pm to start setting up the steel. People are welcome to come out and help!
On match day, registration starts at 7:15am like normal. We'll have the brackets ready to go by 9am (because registration cuts OFF at 8:40), and we'll have our shooter's meeting at 9am with shooting right after.
Here's the thing---to make sure we have enough food, PLEASE go to:

You'll want to do this---it is a TON of fun. Bring a pistol and your shotguns, and plenty of ammo.
