Sunday SUNday SUNDAY!!!!! September 7th, HORA DOLOR 4, "Fourth Time's the Charm".
That's right kids, it's FINALLY time for the next Hora Dolor.
When? Sept 7th (Sunday).
Where? Townsend Fish and Gun Club (www.townsend-rod-and-gun-club.org/)
Time? Shooting begins at 9:30. Safety stuff begins at 9 am. (hint, this is slightly subject to change, but we'll make it clear to everyone)
By now we should all be pretty clear on what's going to happen. We're going to show up, complain about being old/fat/lazy/unable to see the target/not the "Chineese kids" and then we're going to have a metric crap load of fun running around shooting at stuff. Need more?

You should also search "hora dolor" on youtube and you will find an assortment of amusing videos.
It IS still a team event. 2 teammates.
Stuff you need:
You will need a Shotgun (bird oriented)
a rifle (anything you want, any caliber you want)
a Pistol (any caliber you want)
a way to carry all of your ammo AND YOUR PISTOL
A WAY TO CARRY YOUR PISTOL SAFELY. A holster is best, but we're not super picky.
So here is a reasonably detailed course listing. REMEMBER IT, WRITE IT DOWN. The basics of the course are written in stone.
Shotgun targets are a pure team effort. Rifle and piston are hits required for each team member.
The physical challenges have yet to be determined yet, but they will be the same as in previous events.
Teams will all be SINGLE shooters. The exception will be the shotgun where after the aerials both will be able to shoot at ground targets at the same time.
Rifle targets will be steel plates in the corners of the range. Pistol will be a combination of steel and paper.
Starting at the clubhouse:
Run around "the rock" to the shotgun range
At the shotgun range you/your partner will launch up to 6 aerial clays. Each team must hit 2 total. As soon as you hit 2, progress to the second part of the shotgun.
Once the 2 aerials are hit there will be a series of ground mounted (approximately 20) stakes which will have clays on them. All clays must be shot. there may be a mix of steel plates too.
When the clays are hit, the RO will call clear and the team will reset their own shot clays. When done they will reset the shotguns to the stand and proceed to the rifle range by way of a physical challenge.
At the rifle range:
The RO will direct each team left or right (arbitrary, but teams will do both sides).
Left side:
Far left: the Jeep Cherokee from the last event. Course of fire will be the same as the last event - 10 hits out of the rear hatch, 10 hits out of the passenger door, 10 hits from underneath the car and 10 hits from over the hood.
The team will proceed directly right one spot to a VTAC type board. There will be 10 shapes cut in the board in which the runner must get one hit through each shape before proceeding to the next.
Once they have completed EITHER parts of the left/right, they will run a physical challenge. On their return they will do the other half of the rifle course.
Right side:
Far right: there will be a roughly 5 foot high, roughly 35 degree angled simulated roof section which the teams must climb and perch on. The will then get 5 hits on steel before -
moving left one spot where there will be a stack of pallets. The shooter must be on the platform and get 10 hits on steel.
ONLY THE RIGHT SIDE will then have a 3rd obstacle. It will be a very low to the ground, floating platform. Runners must be knees forward on the platform. On the platform will be a borrowed .50 cal Barrett. THANK YOU PRECISION POINT FIREARMS. The team has 4 rounds to hit 2 (target unknown, probably a gallon of water, something explody and awesome).
Team will leave, perform a physical challenge on the way to the pistol range.
At the pistol range there will be a left and a right.
Left will be an initial 2 rounds on a steel plate, likely through a tube or barrel or something similar. Then a slightly elevated snow fence which behind will be 3-5 paper targets at roughly knee height. Shooters must put 2 shots on each paper.
From here they stand up, pivot right and shoot 2 hits each on 4 steel plates at the end of the range.
The right side will be a mirror, however instead of a "low" target setup, we'll use a set of carpenters type staging and set an elevated platform in which the shooters will climb and shoot down on 3-5 paper targets before proceeding to the 4 steels at the end of the range.
For the elevated section the shooter will need to show clear and stow the pistol either in a holster or on the deck of the platform (in a loaned holster) before climbing up/down the staging.
Between the left and right sections of the pistol the runners will perform a physical challenge.
Once done shooting they will return to the clubhouse and time will stop.
Wait.. did you say FIFTY?
Yes, the fine Gentlemen over at Precision Point Firearms in Woburn have generously donated use of their Barrett .50 for use in the event. So, hint hint, it might make sense for you to contact them in the case you need some stuff. You know.. "support those who are supporting you". www.precisionpointfirearms.com (781) 305-3562. Do it. Tell them Morgan and Joe (And the Hora Dolor) sent you.
We will supply the .50 cal.
You can SHARE EVERY WEAPON as only one shooter per team at a time. Slight exception being the shotgun. You CAN share, But it's cool to have 2 shooters here.
Don't have a weapon? We'll try to have loaners, but guess what, everyone who participates in these shoots has been AWESOME and nearly everyone, every time, has offered to share their equipment. JUST ASK IN A POST.
ALSO: Since you are an astute reader, you noticed above that we'll be CARRYING OUR PISTOLS. The whole time. Yeah. Since you guys have had such a great track record, we have been granted a new privilege! Cool huh?
So, How do you sign up??
Well.. since my range wife Joe has a big damn mouth and got booted from the forums, you will have to ask me any and all questions. I'll do my best to be online as much as possible (though I'll be out of touch tomorrow and Thursday, July 30th and 31st). You can either Paypal [email protected]. Sending it quietly as a gift is best as we can avoid the fee. Plus Paypal is gun-phobic and will take a huge dump on us. If you have a moral quandary with this, PM me and we'll work out other arrangements.
Costs PER MEMBER:
$45.
Are you a repeat offender? Cool.. thanks! $40 for you.
Again.. paypal [email protected].
I'll post up a FAQ on Thursday or Friday. But otherwise, all your questions can and will be answered if you read the base posts on the other Hora Dolors. FAQ will include why the cost is a little higher than the original $25 and less than the $50 from last time. But I think it is safe to assume that you WILL get your monies worth.
Finally: If you want to volunteer your services as a Range Officer or helper or basically anything, we'll take you up on that. Please PM me.
