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 December Match Report 12/30/2023 A cool and crisp winter day greeted competitors for the final Sanner’s Carbine Classic Match of 2023. While the time between Christmas and New Years can certainly be busy, 44 dedicated shooters chose to pit themselves and their gear against 5 challenging stages. Prepper division made a good showing once again with five brave competitors boldly carrying all their equipment for the entire match throughout the morning. While not all of them wore armor this time it is still a drastically different match when shot in kit. If you’ve never tried it, maybe 2024 is your year! And finally, the true heroes of Ironman division deserve special applause for showing the rest of us eyesight may still be required. Sean even brought out an M1 carbine to show that yes, it too can hang with the best of 1960’s aluminum and polymer. As the weather stayed cool and the sun peeked above the trees it was David Metcalfe who, despite his unfortunate choice of a PCC came out on top. Great shooting! Category and divisional winners are listed below. High Categories High Junior: Joseph Murphy High Senior: Gary Turner High Lady: Andrea Swierczek High Active Duty: John Sterling
