Title: Oklahoma Run & Gun
Post by: bkoenig on May 06, 2015, 10:40:54 AM
Looks fun.  10K / 5K run with rifle/pistol shooting stages out to 500m.

I'm seriously considering it.  Want to carpool if I can make it?

Darn, it looks like it's all full.

We should try to run something like this in Nebraska....

Drat.  This sort of thing, at 5K, was actually something I was thinking about trying.  (I'm NOT a distance runner.  Matter of fact, I'm not a runner at all.  But 5K I can do, particularly if I'm stopping every half a mile to do a shooting exercise.)

That would be seriously fun.  I'd like this sort of thing much more than one of the longer-distance ones.   One- to two-hour for the entire run, shorter distances, more shooting per mile....I'd love to do it, and I bet it would appeal to a much wider range of shooters than some of the longer ones out there.  (Plus, no sniper-rifle requirements, you can run this with a carbine and a pistol, really.)

Doing this with steel targets so no reset, either hit/no-hit scoring....the mechanics of the match itself would be easy to set up and run, particularly with Practiscore and a laptop.

If someone can provide a place to do it, I'd be happy to help with the rangemaster side of it, as long as I (as part of the staff) can compete in it, too.  :)

Assuming someone had access to a place to run it, what would be involved in getting insurance for something like this (cost, amount of coverage needed, etc)?
