The August match is this Saturday, August 7th.

 

Pistol match is 110 rounds. Registration is 9:30AM. But if you can arrive early, help with setting up and packing up is always needed and appreciated. There will be a rifle side stage after the pistol match is packed up for those who wish to stay. It is 28 rounds and it will be time permitting. We will provide the score sheet and take payment at the start of the rifle stage.

 

If you plan to attend, reply to [email protected] and let him know by Thursday 8am. If you are new and need the safety briefing be there by 9am and see Karen, Ralph or Ron. If the match is cancelled for weather, Ron will send out an email notification around 5pm on Friday.

 

Shongum site for directions: http://www.shongum.org/ Be sure to bring water, sun block and a snack.

 

NOTE: Also, note possible RO class. Ron has approximately 20 folks interested. If you are please let Ron know. Ron is planning on an RO class the last weekend of October, 10/31 and 11/1. It will be run at Riverdale and it is two days: Saturday a full day in the classroom and Sunday a half day class plus range time and generally finishes mid afternoon. Class size has a minimum of 15. Priority will be given to first to reply that are Shongum or Riverdale members. After that, first to reply depending upon class size. Estimated cost is $55 per person, includes lunch on Saturday. Will need a commitment by payment in advance.

 

If interested reply to this email and let Ron Guman know you want to take the RO class. Ron will establish the list and send out details when we finalize. If he does not get a commitment of at least 15, the class will not be held.

Ron Guman had numerous jams and a squib. The squib is an F.U. but the jams could be his recipe. Others and myself noticed his brass was thrown only a short distance. I know his load is WSF with a slightly below minimum charge. It makes power factor but it is a weak load. I think the other squib was Jim Hinton. I don't know what happened there but obviously he did not drop powder and missed it. This is why I say you have to check every round before you put the bullet on top.

Just asking because what you wrote made it seem like the people with the "race guns" and the "reloaders" were the ones who were having problems. Everyone else who did not run a race gun or reloaded, had no issues whatsoever.

      Radios...?

      By Buck Russell · Posted

      If you’re going to VA, buy 2 radios.  Program one for here and one for there.  If you guys are buying Baofeng radios do yourself a favor and get a tactical antenna for it,it’ll extend your reach.

      Non-Hollowpoint? (Long)

      By GRIZ · Posted

      Both our memories are a bit lacking. 3 bystanders were hit by NYPD bullets and 6 were hit by fragments at the Empire State Building shooting. The bullets later were determined to have passed through the bad guy as I said. He was not a big guy. The police fired 16 rds and 7 hit the bad guy.  Spray and pray?  I think not.  These officers fired until the threat was stopped and everyone is moving. Have you ever tried to hit a moving target whilst you're moving.  If you watch the video from where the police encounter him, the BG draws his gun from his bag, NYPD guys shoot, and the BG hit the ground is about 2 or 3 seconds.  The closest officer is maybe 12 feet or less.  The closest cover are those concrete flower pots.  If the officers chose to take cover before drawing the BG would have had a chance to shoot at least one officer. Know your target and beyond?  Agree 100%.  However, this by the Empire State Building at 9 am during the week.  There are bystanders and traffic in every direction.  The officers had a choice of doing what they did or letting the BG shoot them with his 1911 and shoot someone else. I think they made the right choice and the same one I would have made.  The officers exercised the best option in protecting themselves and the public. The first video is the police shooting.  The second is more detailed and gives you a lot of background information on the shooter. One thing this shows is if NYPD had to use fmj undoubtedly more bystanders would have been wounded perhaps killed.  NJ's hollowpoint law. only creates more danger to the public.
