I was just wondering about any ideas anyone might have about them. Since a couple friends of my at Black Water Airsoft are thinking about hosting one. It would be open to spotter/sniper pairs. They got the idea from the tv show Top Sniper, so it would go off of the same concept. It would include shooting, stalking, observation, camouflage, MOUT exercises, range estimation and other things.

Mosin, I summon you to this thread.

One was hosted a few years ago in Michigan.

Its harder than you'd think to make it happen right. Not to mention their aren't that many Snipers within their own traveling distances who can actually shoot.

Mosin's game was a success, but not a whole heap of players made it, including me.

Maybe the rules for the sniper class we are planning on running will help you with a rules set for your idea...

WART Sniper Rules

 

[silentfury214]

What is the marksmanship qualification he is talking about?

 

[sounguru]

Sorry those rules are here..

Marksman Rules

It is basically 2 courses that are in the works to hold in our area to first test people skills but also will be required for anyone to use a gun over 400 fps in local events for safety concerns.

That sounds like a great idea for the shooting portion, I would just have to make a couple slight adjustments

if any one is living in Philippines please get inotuch with me and lets try to see if we can make this happen in Aug!

Glad those could help you out...

 

[smitty0317]

Yea, your rules will save me and the guy some time planning this out. Are there any other suggestions for any of the other categories?

 

[sounguru]

Not beyond those rules you see but I will ponder ....

 

[tuxedopenguin]

i have a question if your going to make it mandatory for them to understand and judge distance why not allow them a higher FPS with a longer MED??

if my rifle will hit as hard at 125' at 600 as yours will at 100' at 550?

Like Fresno Airsoft does??

I do, there is no FPS limit for our competition, those rules come from a course set up by Sounguru, that from what it sounds like, teaches the basics of long range marksmanship and the use of a high powered rifle.

I just hosted my third annual sniper competition in NC. It is hard work to pull together and I have tried to change it up a little every year. I normally have high end prizes for the winning team and everyone that attends has a great time and looks forward to it each year. However I can only get about 4 two man teams every year. I think the majority of the problem is that people that play Airsoft do not like actual competition. They are afraid to fail and especially if they are internet commandos that all have 300+ feet shooting rifles.

 

[smitty0317]

We planned on having some really good prizes for the top 3 teams. Also, what part of NC do you host your comps in?

 

[tuxedopenguin]

could be, when they see your rifle out ranges them they usualy try and ban it; thus punishing higher preformance. I can remember when they weren't letting me use my tanakas around here cause the 550 fps wasn't fair to the spring snipers


which if people are going to continue to cry like that have 4 long range shot competions;


Longest/most consistant: AEG Rifle
Longest/most consistant: Spring Rifle
Longest/most consistant: Gas rifle
Longest/most consistant: Rifle over all

 

[82dcustomer]

We hold it in Western NC but it is a statewide competition. The winning team the last two years came from Raleigh. Runners up came from SC.

 

[smitty0317]

O cool, I may have to try and come out there with my spotter next time you guys host it.
