GHST Combat League
This league is a 10 week, centerfire handgun Lewis league using half-size silhouette targets. Any centerfire handgun cartridge up to .45 caliber is allowed. Iron, optical or holographic/dot electronic sights allowed. No laser (target painting) sights allowed.
The 2024 Fall Combat League will start Monday, September 30th, 2024. The first round starts at 4:00PM. See League calendar for the current schedule.
The 2024 Fall Combat League fees are expected to be $5 for registration and $15.00 per target set. Please have exact change for your round.
The assembly area for the League will be the classroom 1. Participants should place their range gear in line along the inner wall near the room’s entrance. Individuals paying with cash should see the League Range Officer (LRO) to be checked in. Individuals paying by credit card should see a TMS cashier and then bring their receipt to the LRO for check-in. The LRO will release a round group for lane selection in Bay 3 once 7 individuals are present.
A Range Officer controls the course of fire and also ensures safety rules are enforced. All firearms must be inspected by the Range Officer at the firing line.
Participants should uncase their firearm at the bench in their lane and lock open their firearm’s action to allow the RO to verify the firearm’s unloaded state. Participants may load their magazines while the inspection is in process but may not load their firearm until instructed to do so.
The RO will start a stage by instructing the participant to send their target down to the stage distance line and will announce the course of fire for the stage. The RO will ready the participants and start the stage by sounding the stage whistle. Participants who shoot before the stage whistle will cause the RO to suspend the stage and a shot penalty will be imposed on the responsible party. Once the penalty has been enforced, the RO will resume the stage.
Shooters may advance to the lane bench but not lean sideways against the lane wall or use an external article as a brace for stability support when shooting.
When the time for stage has counted down, the RO will sound the stage whistle. Participants who shoot after the stage whistle will cause the RO to suspend the stage and impose a shot penalty on the responsible party. Once the penalty has been enforced, the RO will resume the stage and call for any alibis.
Participants are allowed one alibi in the first five targets of a set. Alibis are not allowed on the sixth target. A shooter may either choose to accept the alibi and reshoot that target with the penalty of loosing as many high shots as they took before the malfunction or they may reject the alibi and keep the current target’s score.
Once all stages for the round are complete, the RO will inspect all firearms for an unloaded condition. When the safety inspection is complete, the RO will then instruct the participants to case their firearms and to exit the bay to reassemble in the large classroom.
The participants will score their targets, staple their score sheet to their target set, and turn in their target pack for review. Reviewed targets will be returned the following week.
If conditions permit, a banquet will be held after the League completes to award trophies and door prizes. Shooters are separated in to classes by score and trophies are awarded to the first, second, and third place shooters of each class. The number of classes is dependent on the number of participants in the league. There is also an award for the shooter with the most X’s and an award for the most improved shooter.
The 2024 Fall GHST Combat League Banquet will be held at Dehn’s Country Manor on Monday, December 16th. Sign-up for the banquet will start in November. Guests are welcome.
