The 7th Annual M.O.A. "Cold Turkey" Long Range Handgun Match June 20, 21, 22nd, 2013
|
MOA Corporation has held an Annual
Long Range Handgun Match since 2007. Unique within the industry, the MOA
Shoot joins many of the nation's Specialty Handgun enthusiasts in a 3 day
Match Competition occurring in Sundance, Wyoming. Shooting at 500, 750 and 1,000
yards, these handgunners routinely prove that they are equal to many rifle
shooters. Typically encountered guns are the MOA Maximum (of course!),
Freedom Arm's New Singleshot,
and the Remington XP-100, Savage Striker, as well as numerous
custom and semi-custom rigs, most with a 14" to 18" barrel, and usually equipped with a muzzle brake.
Cartridges often encountered are the .243AI Win., 6x47 Lapua, 6mm-284, and 6.5-284 Win.,
etc. While many shooters use pistol scopes, more have in recent years
moved to "rifle" scopes, taking advantage of higher magnification, and improved
optics to realize their pistol's full potential.
The shoot is casual and friendly...many of your fellow shooters will help to
ensure you have a positive experience; most share the reasons for their success
openly and unselfishly. Every year the equipment list used by shooters improves
somewhat; and unlike some other disciplines, rare is the shooter in Sundance who
isn't happy to tell you all about his new rig. Indeed, it's all about the
advancement of the sport! We have found that many first timers are apprehensive shooting at
these distances, but they soon find they can shoot amazingly small groups, even at
the advanced yardages!

The 2012 Match is over...but see the Results and Photos here: 2012
2012 proved to be a great year for the "Cold Turkey" Match... favorable weather, a great group of competitors, including
several new faces, who traveled hundreds of miles to attend! We also gained many NEW vendor prize sponsors this year: Benchmark Barrels, Bog-Pod, Brownells, Bullberry Barrel
Works, Creedmoor Sports, Dillon Precision, Edgewood Bags, Extremunition, 4D Products, Jewell Triggers, McMillan Stocks, and Shilen Rifles were all quite generous! We want to
Thank ALL of our Vendor Sponsors
for their generosity. The prize table was once again "overflowing"...our Host, Rich Mertz donated (2) of his Custom 10/22 barreled actions for each
1,000 yard event as First Place Prizes! As in past years, many of the major prizes were awarded as "winning prizes" for the event, but there were also many door prizes.
Over the six years of this match, we have been fortunate to call many of our competitors and vendors our friends as well.
On behalf of Rich and Theresa Mertz, the Shooters Committee, and all of our Match Competitors...our sincere Thanks and Appreciation to all who have donated prizes,
to all those that helped to organize and help at the match, as well as to the many great
forums (and magazines) who helped to "get the word
out" about the Match!

This page has been created by the "M.O.A. Shooters
Committee", comprised of past and future participants of the M.O.A. Match, with
the permission and acknowledgment of M.O.A. Corporation. The Committee's
interest is to promote and enhance participation in this Match, and in the sport
of long range handgunning. Our combined goal is to "share the knowledge of
techniques, technology, and equipment that will enhance our experience and
success in the sport". Our continual interest in product development and
improvement via our feedback as users, will serve to stimulate vendor
participation with the introduction of products that work for our (handgunning)
needs. And finally, by encouraging the "new" shooter, we will enable the sport
to grow. |
