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.
Match ResultsSanner’s Carbine Classic October Match Report 10/31/2026 A golden autumn day greeted competitors for the October Carbine Classic match. The holiday spirit was in the air as many competitors showed up in costume and immediately began pregaming the match with candy. As this was a Halloween-themed match, stages included a zombie shoot, a battle with ghouls, and saving towns from evil witches. Cobwebs, corn mazes, and a pumpkin patch made the themes come to life with plenty of fun twists in each stage. For example, we had a tennis ball launcher start things off on stage 1, with the potential for a bonus from a well-placed serve. Stage 3 saw some tight needle-threading shots, and stage 4 pulled out all the stops with a pair of ghouls making a dash across the stage! We appreciate every competitor who came out and enjoyed the match, including the Annapolis crew who made the arduous trek from just up the road. Of course, special recognition goes to those who won their divisions, listed below: Top Dot: Tim Angers (match winner!)

Hopefully everyone enjoyed this finale to the 2026 season and is already thinking about improvements and new ideas for the next match, tentatively scheduled for January 30th, 2027! See you then, -Jake Swierczek, Jeremy Hanson, and Anibal Delgado
