Sanner's Carbine Classic

The Sanner’s Carbine Classic is a practical carbine match similar to an IDPA match but the firearm used is a carbine of intermediate caliber (muzzle energy ≤1875 ft·lbs). Competitors will be shooting primarily at paper targets interspersed with the occasional clay pigeon or other reactive target. While infrequent, there may be any number of "blind stages" during a match where the brief is limited and the competitor will not get the chance to see the stage before shooting. Round count per stage will vary depending on the stage and the amount of targets but will not exceed more than sixty shots required. Any carbine or rifle that complies with the muzzle energy limit is welcome but the emphasis will be on home defense and duty rifles. Nominal round count is 100-150, and all sign-ups will be via Practiscore.

Sanner’s Carbine Classic November 2024 Match Report

11/9/2024

The November 2024 Sanner’s Lake Carbine Classic Match was dedicated to the 20th anniversary of Operation Phantom Fury, also known as the Second Battle of Fallujah.  The battle featured urban combat on a scale not seen in decades for the Marines and soldiers who fought there, and all stages for this match were inspired by stories or pictures from the battle.  If you do a web search for Chris Kyle + beach balls you can get a flavor of the action...in addition to the stories at the following link:

https://americansniperusn.weebly.com/war-stories.html

So naturally for this match we had to have a few unusual stages with movers and even a special beach ball target which, as you might guess, became the “target” of a lot of conversation (and a few frustrated shooters!).  While this may have seemed like fun and games, only 43% of our intrepid competitors managed to pop the ball and harvest the associated 10 second bonus (contact Jeremy if you need practice, there are about 30 left filling his garage!).

Top Overall, Top Dot, and Top Mil/LE all go to Joseph Livi, nice shooting!  Dwayne Stevenson racked up a win in PCC division, and the cool weather was helpful to Todd Mullaney as he took first place in Prepper.  Scope division was led by Joe Mund, while in the true spirit of the battle Tim Kelly took Top Ironman! Congratulations to all the winners.
