It's up to you. I'd be really alert goin' through some of the "lonlier" stretches through the woods, though. Would want a lovestruck hillbilly to get the drop on you out there.

There was an OSAer that ran a 6.5 Creedmore precision gun of some flavor and did so with great success. Another used a Ruger Scout Rifle and did well too. I believe there may have been a third but I'm drawing a blank with that one.
If I had an FR-8 I wouldn't hesitate to run it with a satchel full o' strippers. If you've got the skills you'll do fine!

I'm in, I figure with the detour I took at thunderbird I put in 6-7k, I'll give the 10k a shot
Haven't logged on here in a while. Glad I did tonight! Glad to have seen this announcement.
I missed the last event due to minor finger surgery over Christmas. Hoping to be in shape to participate this time. Seeing this gives me a kick in the pants to bump up my exercise.
Yeehaw!

Any centerfire will do. You need to have a secure holster for it, though. I'm assuming you're shooting an AR, that's what most guys run with. Remember, this is in July, so hydration is a must. Camelbaks are great for this, but I've seen guys run with canteens also.
The longest shot will be approximately 500 yards, on a full torso silhouette. Everything else will be 250 yards and under.
To answer the earlier question, a bolt gun would be OK as long as it loads quickly, like with strippers or detachable mags. There will only be one stage with a real high round count, and on that one you will have the option of using rifle, pistol, or both. So if you wanted to carry a bolt gun, you could use your pistol on that one and just bring extra pistol ammo.
We are putting the finishing touches on the COF now... we should have it released and open the event for registration this week.

When we register, will we have to register specifically for either the 5k/10k option, or do we declare on the day of the event which course we're running? I'd love to do the 10k, but I've been struggling with foot and knee problems and may have to settle for 5k depending on my status in July.
