2011 NorCal TBRC AAR

[Vu 308]

The 2011 5th Annual NorCal TBRC is now in the books. We had 66 competitors battle over 2 days in roughly a 200 round count course of fire.

I would like to thank all the competitors that traveled from near and far to make this year’s match. It’s an honor having everyone with us this past weekend, and we hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as we did putting on this event. Our range crew truly appreciates everyone being safe, with no major safety issues needing to be addressed.

I believe our prize table spoke for itself, and all I can say is thank you to the generous sponsors we had support this year’s NorCal TBRC. After some last minute shipments, I believed the prize table was in the arena of $55,000.00 +.

Our sponsors put enough out there for all the competitors and range crew to go through twice, and then some. Everyone walked away with something nice no matter where they finished. Due to a few sponsors jumping on board last minute, I will have to post the complete list tomorrow. CS Tactical has the majority of them listed on the TBRC highlight thread. Once again, I would like thank our sponsors on behalf of NCPPRC for their support. Out event would not be what it is without your support.

And who can forget our “red shirt brigade”. 35 men and women of NCPPRC worked very hard over the last 4 days, setting up, putting on, and tearing down to make everything flow smoothly for our 66 competitors. They make my job so easy, it’s ridiculous. I pretty much cruised around all weekend in a golf cart visiting with competitors, and make sure things were flowing according to schedule. Thank you guys for all your hard work and dedication!

Day 1:

Alpha and Bravo Squad was assigned to the 1K Range. Alpha was shooting first, with Bravo shooting 2nd relay.

Charlie and Delta was assigned to the Steel Range.
We had a weather system move in on Saturday which turned what was already a challenging Course of Fire into something out of a nightmare for quite a few shooters. Our COFs are designed so that our top level competitors should be around 70% area, however by the end of the day on Saturday; it was more like 50% or less due to weather conditions.

A lot of people talk about high winds at their local range, but Sac Valley is a hard range to shoot in windy conditions due to the hilly terrain. Scores on day one reflected the conditions that everyone had to shoot in. By the time everyone was shooting the winds were blowing 25 to 30mph+, then the rain came. Most of us blame the crews out of Washington and Oklahoma for the bad weather.

We had a stage that was thrown out due to me not thinking about cross fires @ 100yards. George Gardner was kind enough to bring up a few issues he saw only after 6 shooters shot the stage. After thinking about the options, I decided to scrap the stage. Next year I will figure out how to run that stage properly.

We ended the day with a catered BBQ from Sierra Smoke House which everyone seemed to enjoy after a rough day on the range.

Day 2:

The squads flip flopped ranges.
Talk about a complete change in weather conditions, it was sunny with VERY light winds. David Skit dominated the 1K range with a 647 4X out of 830pts possible. 36 rounds were fired from 800 to 1Kyards. Total round count for the 1K range was 79 rounds.

On the steel range, the Alpha Squad and Bravo squad went to work taking advantage of the great shooting conditions. All the competitors knew that Sunday would be the day to either make ground, or extend their lead do to the weather conditions on the first day. Some were playing catch up, and some were putting it in high gear.

After all the rounds were down range, Francis “The Animal” took home the win by shooting an 886.12 on the steel range. I’ll get exact numbers in the next few days but I believe he shot near the 80% range of the possible score.

Congrats to Francis on his 2nd TBRC win. Francis took home first place at the 2009 TBRC as well. He is the first shooter to win a 2nd TBRC in our club’s history.

2nd to 10th honors goes to the following shooters:

1st Place Kuehl, Francis 1450.12 5X
