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 March 2025 Match Report

3/29/2025

A hot time was had on a warm spring day at the March 2025 Sanner’s Lake Carbine Classic Match.  Forty eight competitors finished the match and filled the squads. The temperature was perfect with just a touch of mist and clouds to keep the competitors on their toes.

David Metcalfe once again took 1st place overall, in addition to 1st in Scope division. Tim Duehring was right behind him to clinch 2nd place and first in the Dot division. But the real hero was Cody Lee not only being hot on Tim’s heals in third place but also taking first Prepper and top Junior; he might be our most competitive Prepper ever! Ron Ferguson signed up for Ironman despite shooting a PCC but because he brought out an MP5 and was our only irons shooter we will give him credit for the victory anyway. The rest of the category and division winners are below:
