ZSC:013 Presents 1st Annual Mock ZPAW Firefight

Have you ever wanted to test out those ZPAW skills that you talk about on the Internet? Do you have a strong desire to leave your mall ninja past behind you and test your zombie slaying skills in the real world? Then I have a deal for you! Our course of fire will test many of the necessary zombie slaying skills needed for when the undead rise.
Some of the items tested will include:
Long range rifle shooting
Pistol shooting against reactive targets
Shoot/No Shoot scenarios
Buddy Drag
Impact weapons vs. Zombies
Balance Beam
Low Crawl under the wire
Zombie Dodge

All this and more! Hosted by the original Texas ZS Chapter-West Texas. Scheduled for August 14/15 , located one hour east of Lubbock.

Shooters will be expected to carry all of their gear with them for the course of fire. Plan on wearing what you will be using when the undead rise. This can include vests,binoculars, chest rigs, range finders, drop thigh holsters, katanas, purses, back packs. etc. A full course of fire and round count will not be given until the day of the match. Plan on carrying 100 rounds rifle ammo and 45 rounds of pistol ammo to be safe. Dont forget the water! All competitors will be expected to carry a minimum of 64 oz of liquid.

Please note, this activity will be as physically demanding as you make it. There will not be any EMS or Doctors on site, and the hospital is a long, long way away. You are responsible for your own health and safety, not to mention any livestock that may be damaged by your negligence.

Cost will be $20 for the match, this will cover the cost of some awesome targets. The more shooters we have, the better the targets will be. Training will be provided on stages that provide combat aid or long distance shots.

Since this match is being held on private land (an operating ranch with roaming livestock), the match is by invitation only. Please PM me for an invitation. All Zs'rs are welcome to come and camp. You dont have to shoot to have a good time!

Training will be provided on stages that provide combat aid or long distance shots.

This is going to be total win. We will get info up about the stages as we finalize them.

A goal is to not only have fun, but to learn things and apply them under pressure. For example, one stage will involve rescuing an injured buddy. I will give a short overview of causality care, then we will run the drill where you will do the skills, shoot the bad guys, and get your buddy to safety.

So what OHZS'er wants to share the drive/gas with me? It's only 21 hours from Columbus...Seriously, this looks like a great event, good on you guys for putting it on. We demand pictures!

[Richter]

damn, I SO wanna come, too bad I'm in Utah and don't have weekends off....

[gravediggerfour]

No promises but I too will see what I can do!

[sigboy40]

As this evolves it looks like we are going to use Saturday as a training day and Sunday Morning as the match day.

I am more then willing to open this up for people to teach PAW/outdoor skills related classes. Any volunteers?

since my chances of attending in the low 20% sign me up for range safety detail.

One event we're going to do Saturday is work on long range shooting skills. SigBoy40 and I will coach people, and we're going to do a "mini sniper" contest, shooting green army men at 25 yards with .22LR. We will have a couple of rifles to borrow if you don't have your own accurate .22LR.

We will do a coaching session, to get everyone up to speed and get practice in, and then do a quick match for bragging rights.

Once that's done, people that do ok can use one of our accurized AR's to shoot a 24" gong at 400 plus yards. (how much the "plus" is depends on the wind, and how well people shot the little green guys). You'd need to pay for the ammo on that (we can give you the .22LR gratis, but 5.56 match ammo isn't cheap). We'd still coach and spot for you.

Brass detail... Really?

[sigboy40]

Brass detail... Really?

Needs of the group buddy, needs of the group. You have to be put where you will be the most valuable.

Tell you what, if you show up, I will let you run the man vs man drill.

It will be six reactive targets per side, with a steel popper as a stop plate. Targets will be set up at 10 yards for pistol, 25 for rifle. At the start signal, you draw your pistol (or unsling your rifle) and engage all your targets. First one done wins.

[GunsUp]

I'm in (I'll do RO or whatever, if I'm on brass detail everybody is required to use steel cased ammo).

[sigboy40]

Wouldn't that put you on steel detail?

[gravediggerfour]

Count me out, freaking bills got me down.

[GunsUp]

Wouldn't that put you on steel detail?

OK then,

I'll do anything but brass detail, and that includes steel detail.

besides isn't that what the cows are for?

[MiniatureJeebus]

Sounds interesting. However I'm still in Santa Fe until very late august...

[CG]

Is it alright if I show up if I've barely ever shot and won't have anything to shoot? Still saving up money to do the CHL course and get a gun.

It would be interesting just to meet people.
