CCMU notched its 5th win since our first one in this annual match nine years ago!
5 out of 9, the other four were second place finishes to USMA.
SIG SAUER hosts the Relentless Warrior Championship (3 gun) each year. It is attended by the combat shooting teams from all of the service academies and Senior Military Colleges. Plus the Royal Canadian Military College.
Our cadets crushed them. We decisively won the long range stage (after the RO's informed us after we arrived on the stage that the times West Point shot couldn't be beaten…I just smiled.)
Thank you Primary Arms for providing us with their outstanding 1-6x green dot LPVO!
5 CCMU cadets in the top 10 (1 & 2 also) and six in the top 12.
Our 2011 pistols (won't say their name since they dropped us as a sponsor team in January) and Steiner MPS pistol optics were outstanding.
Orr Ammunition from Needville, Tx is outstanding and absolutely worth the trip to see them.
Very proud to see Virginia Tech and Citadel at 3rd and 4th. VT is the first SMC besides A&M in the top three in the history of the match. CCMU was the first SMC ever allowed to shoot this match (2013), prior to that only Service Academies and Coast Guard participated.
VT is a team to watch. Those cadets are working hard and will challenge us soon. Good. I am organizing a training event for VT, VMI, Citadel and CCMU next fall. We have a great relationship with those teams…as we should!
More later here, lots on Instagram, and a national press release coming.
Cool thing about Practiscore is as they update the scores you can see how folks are doing. I don't allow our cadets to look at scores until the match is over…but another school, they…ummm…win a lot here…apparently does.
After looking at our scores and realizing what was happening, they filed a protest that our pistol's exceeded the match rule of 40oz. The MD called this exactly what you all are calling this right now…but he and I and Dan Horner drove up to use a shipping scale to weigh my top shooters gun (I got to pick what gun, I made sure they knew who it belonged to) and I have a picture of it on the scale…34oz.
Not my first rodeo. But some institutions will literally do anything just to win a competition.
Gig'em!
