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.

Sanner’s Carbine Classic March Match Report

3/30/2024

Saturday was as good of a shooting day as we could ask for, which was perfect because we had a full house show up for the latest installment of the Sanner’s Carbine Classic.

The day’s match featured five challenging stages with shoulder switching, tight angles, moving targets, and even shooting out of the back of a vehicle. The accuracy challenges presented here seemed to catch some of our top shooters off-guard as a few of them caught some penalties and no one shot a clean match.

We’d like to congratulate Dan Hernandez for taking 1st place overall, in addition to 1st in Dot division. Mark Swierczek was right behind him to clinch 2nd place. We’d also like to give a shoutout to all 14 competitors in Prepper division, which is a record number for the match series. Take a look at the rest of the category and divisions winners below:
