Course of fire: Two or three (to be determined) IPSC style stages and one magazine dump.

Ammunition requirements: To be determined. Expect ~250 scored shots for pistols, subguns, and assault rifles and ~50 scored shots of buckshot and 10 slugs for shotgun. The belt-fed event will be one fire and movement course of fire. Additional information will be sent later on the number of scored shots per event.

Entrance Fee: Current paid AMGA members $15 per event. Non-members $20 per event

Grand Prize: I'm working on medals for top-finishers in subgun, assault rifle, and beltfed. Expect bragging rights as the minimum prize.

These will be IPSC style fire and maneuver events. We'll have shooters of all skill levels participating so invite a friend. Shooters will be limited to one firearm per category due to time limitations and I reserve the right to make up rules as I go along (and you have the right to give me hell about it <g>).

Email me at matt_warnick@hotmail.com with your attendance confirmation by May 6th. We need 12 subgun/assault rifle/pistol shooters (group A/B) and/or three belt-fed shooters (group C) .

If you aren't interested in competing on Saturday, plan to attend the open shoot on Sunday. This is the biggest and best machine gun shoot in Alaska and is a blast to participate in and even more fun to watch.
