2023-2024 WINTER WARRIOR POSTAL MATCH - Bragging Rights Only This Year but adding Sniper Division
Last season I mentioned I probably wouldn't be doing this again. Helping out a family member with health issues and more frequent international and domestic travel plus current obligations to family, work, the club, etc. leave little time to manage this. However, it's easy enough to kick this off as a means to promote winter marksmanship and old school iron sight shooting. Sorry no fabulous prizes but here goes...
Traditional Winter Warrior - Iron sight military rifles only for points on the SR-1 target. If anyone wants to run a pistol / other type of match, I highly encourage you to do so. Part of the fun of this is seeing how different rifles perform on the same targets under same or similar conditions.
Sniper Division - Smallest 5-shot Group Size. Military snipers or clones thereof.
Rules:

Rules:
- Qualifying winter weather = snow cover on the ground and/or below freezing weather. Pile of snow somewhere on the range or range parking lot is good enough for me.
- Winter Warrior Division
- Iron sight military rifles only, in original military calibers. Anything from a Brown Bess to an AR or AK, but must be iron sights. Since stupid CMP now allows free-float AR's, they are OK for this match if you are a wuss. Kidding. OK, not really kidding
![[laugh]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/012.gif "Laugh [laugh]")
. - 10 shots per target. Any shot completely off paper? Take it as a mulligan- we won't know!
![[rofl]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/013.gif "ROFL [rofl]")
- Target will be the SR-1 'reduced' SR target shot at 100 yards. Alternately, real men and women may submit a SR target from 200 yards and/or official scorecard from a CMP match. I'll post a link to a printable SR-1 'center' that prints out on 8-1/2 x 11 paper. SR-1 target centers are cheap and printed centers are free. Let's please not clutter the match with random targets. Those who post random targets may be mercilessly trolled.
- Preferred shooting position is prone but I completely understand if you have any physical limitations that require you to shoot from the bench. You don't even have to mention that you shot from the bench. No lead sleds or gun vise clamping type of devices. Sand bags or other type of rest OK, but why not shoot like a boss? (prone with sling)
- Top score will win bragging rights and title of NES Winter Warrior. Post pics if you want bragging rights for scores. Please post Pics of your rifle- we love that.
- Winter Warrior Sniper Division
- Any milsurp sniper rifle or clone thereof. AR's in any caliber, any optic are OK. 20 lb benchrest rifles are not, got it? Post pic of rifle with smallest 5-shot group on paper.
