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 July Match Report 7/29/2023 Few would deny that St. Mary’s County is a gorgeous place, but that beauty comes at a price during the summer. The week leading up to the July 2023 Sanner’s Carbine Classic was monstrously hot. As a result, the five stages of the match were simplified in order to ease the burden of setup and tear down and try to move shooters through the match expeditiously. However, “simplified” did not mean “easy”. Forty-four shooters were pitted against portholes, shoulder transitions, mandatory body and head shots, and two different limited round count stages, each presenting unique variations on the age-old question of speed versus accuracy. As the match cooled off and the heat picked up the overall winner was David Metcalfe who, despite his blistering speed was only two points down for the entire match. Great shooting! Category and divisional winners are listed below. High Categories: High Junior: Joseph Murphy High Senior: Glenn Kahler High Lady: Andrea Swierczek High Active Duty: Jeff Tuckey Divisional Winners: Dot: Mark Swierczek Ironman: Tim Kelly PCC: David Metcalfe Prepper: Anibal Delgado Scope: James Foreman Additionally, a special shout-out must be given to our competitors in Prepper division. Despite the blazing heat and suffocating humidity this match featured nine shooters in that division; the largest showing of Prepper shooters since the division was added!

As usual, look for sign-ups a few weeks in advance. See you then! -Jake Swierczek, Jeremy Hanson, and Anibal Delgado | Match Reports
