2008 Fort Benning 3 Gun Challenge – Results

Dec 07 2008 Published by under 3 Gun, BGM, Competition, DPMS, match, member, Shooting

Congratulations to two BGM members – Tax Man and White Feather.  Both competed over the weekend at the Army Marksmanship Unit’s three gun competition at Fort Benning, Ga.  Tax Man came in 126th and White Feather 23rd.  Friends of the BGM: Pony Tail came in 14th and Ramey came in 3rd in the Open Division.  Ramey smoked professional shooter Todd Jarret and finished behind other professional shooters Jerry Miculek (world’s fastest reloader) and DPMS Sponsored Jasmes Darst.  For weekend shooters not to shabby.

The AMU uses a set of complex rules and scoring system that aren’t completely easy for everyone to understand.  But basically the highest score wins.  The system does not necessarily indicate the fastest competitor as much as it does for the one that was accurate, fast, and followed all the rules.  Here are White Feather and Tax Man’s Results.

White Feather Tax Man

This is what we know so far:

Time?
 9:00 am Setup 10:00 am Shoot

 Email Scott Rand – Match Director for e-mail

The message on the board from the Match Director:  Congratulations from BGM Tactical Weapons Team on the 1st year B-day Party:

Shooters,
I will not be able to put on a match this Saturday or Sunday. I have a set of grand twins with a one year old birthday party Saturday. Arab club is having a mass clean-up on Sunday. So, how about we have a match on Sunday the 28th of September. A match on Saturday will mess with the IDPA HGC match. Don’t want to do that. Since this will be on an odd day, how about we have an odd match. Lets drag out and dust off those AK47′s and SKS’s. Take them to the Arab range a shoot until the barrels melt off. One stage will require you to shoot from the hip just like you see on Fox News. While you are running… If you don’t have a gun to shoot, come anyway and bring some 7.62×39 or 5.45×39 ammo. Bring at least 100 rounds. Two classes to shoot in. Mags and stripper clips.. Should be lots of fun. We will start around 9:00 am. Set up at 8:oo. $15.00 to shoot. $20.00 to watch us make fools of ourselves.

See you then,
Scott

After re-reading the match description it seems that this is just going to be some organized fun for bragging rights of who is a better shooter. Plus it is reason enough to dust of the ol’ SKS you bough 15 years ago for $50 and test out some of the 30,000 rounds of the Norinco you’ve had in storage for 20 years. It sounds like it could be a loosely run stage setup where we can go out meet the North Alabama shooters and make friends. You can count me in. What about you? I plan to reach out and let them know how many people we are going to bring up with us. I have three so far. Let me know asap.
