I am with Coyote. My running days are over. injury and surgery guaranteed it. I have tested it, and further injured myself so aside from a light 50 yrd jog, my multiple mile days are well over. This being said, i think i would still give this a go. Aside from a few extra pounds, i am in great shape and i live in the gym so the physical aspect is no problem - just no running. I would not be setting time records but i would be

1) I'm interested. There's too much lard following me around for me to be confident of success running, but I'm very optimistic about the chances of it being awesome.
2) It would be cool if the shooting and the running could take approximately the same amount of time as the running.

Aw shucks Ed. I'm sorry.
We'll just have to do it again when you aren't at work!![[mg]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/036.gif "Machine Gun [mg]")
Yeah I will be down in the ship yards. But I am going to bring my LR308 with me and go on a hog hunt or 2.

Not a total loss.
Ill have more information up by late tomorrow morning.
We're hoping to see everyone using common defensive calibers, but haven't yet come up with specific restrictions (which may occur due to logistical/operational concerns)
Format will be reasonably similar to your basic biathlon.....shoot, run, shoot, run, etc.
We will have other physical activities to perform mixed in.
ETA: We will have an official sign up type thing starting after the holidays.
Please note: we will be limiting the number of participants due to logistical/operational concerns to about 20 shooters.

Nicole and I are still interested depending on the format. Like no Atlas Stones or 20 mile hike up a mountain.

Same here. As long as the running isn't too extreme. Any chance of letting 308 in though? I should have a new LMT by then...

Any and all stones will be of the non-Atlas variety and hikes will be limited to 19mi.
Similar ideas, but this year atleast, this will be A LOT shorter than toughmudder. Also, no exposed wires, monkey bars or giant slip n slide.
The most recent answer is "it depends". We'll have to see if we can get the targets far enough away. And no AP, obviously.

So, 8 miles up and 8 miles down?
Correct?
Sounds about right

Sorry for the lack of updates, folks. Holidays, retail and all that jazz.
I'm pretty sure that was a joke in response to Adam.

Haven't measured the course we're figurin on just yet, but I *think* it will only be a few miles.
Tim is right, I was just being a smartass to Adam.
What?! Only a few miles? I've been training hard in the bogs here and I'm up to ten miles. Now you tell me it will only be "a few miles".
Can I bring the 82A1 and shoot all the targets with one shot?

Monadnock does NOT have pits. They're essentially a 100yd range thats ~40-50yds wide. This will be a challenge to work around, I know. But, I'm a tinkerer by nature and will figure this out
Still no pits but we have a new 200 yard range.
Here it is folks:
90 degrees north from the previous orientation, so no more late afternoon sun in your eyes.
I like where this is going.
