The KWSS is next Saturday December the 10th. Don't forget we start at 09:00 it is a short day so be on time. In case any of you don't know or have forgotten I copied this from a 2009 thread.


If you haven't been before I'll try to fill you in. The action takes place at 300 400 and 4++ yds. Targets are set in pairs. The small one we call an "F" and his bigger brother is called "D". In the first of the three exercises each shooter in his own turn engages the pairs as they appear with no time limit. Exercise two is the same with a time limit of one minute per pair...a life time. Exercises one and two are scored as follows: the "D" target gets ya 2 points the "F" one is worth 3 points. Only two shots are allowed per target but ya get 2 points for each round you don't shoot. Neat huh?

Exercise three is three rounds max per target. We shoot the "F" targets only with each hit worth 4 points and 2 points for the rounds you save.



If this is new to you the targets Saturday will be set so as to be a challenge for a shooter with a scoped rifle. This is the one time in the year that we do that. I'm not saying it can't be done with iron sights but you'll have to be really good to do it.

Place: Ramseur Range
Time: 09:00
Range fee: $45.00 Except for those of you that have been to three paid shoots during year 2011 for those shooters it's FREE.

    This is a challenging course of fire. The Army Sniper Course as developed for the Korean War was not the joke which the WW2 Sniper Course was - the latter was essentially a basic rifle marksmanship course out to 400 yards - iron sights worked fine.

    But for the KW, the US Army got serious. And you'll experience some of it when you show up for this event.

    It's the closest thing you'll find to a replication of the US Army Korean War Sniping Course.

May all the God's have mercy and not let anything befall me or mine so as I may attend a gathering of like minded riflemen. Please, pretty please .

Koma take some LSA or Hoppes go out side and pour some on the ground as a sacrifice to the range gods. That should do it.

Good shooting gents.  I will be working in Bedford, VA...
