2x4 Match at Cherry Ridge - Saturday, 8/14 8:30am-3:00pm

[ronhonda 86]

Alright I think we will be ready. I hope voodoo and I don't embarrass ourselves.

 

Not to worry. HazMatt will be too busy razzing the regulars to notice anything you do.

I a not worried. hoping the regulars don't razz us.

[voodoodaddy 1]

Are laser sights allowed?

Don't worry!!! And Mike will comfirm this... If you saw me shoot last week, I was POOR!! And nobody razzed me or said a word. But then I was the only one with a rifle in their hand.

 

Come and enjoy and bring loads of dollar bills. It's just like the GoGo bar.

Except for the beer, foreign accents, g-strings, hooker heels and stretch marks.

[voodoodaddy 1]

I have stretch marks and a foreign accents, does this means I get to take your monies

[Col. Mortimer 11]

Are laser sights allowed?

 

Any sights are allowed. We are a loose bunch of wood shooters. If it's a pistol, it's allowed.

[robot_hell 72]

This would be my first pistol match (unofficial or otherwise). Any other tips this newbie should know?

Alright! Welcome to the club. It is way more fun than punching paper.

 

1) When you get to the table, fold your arms. I have found it to be the best way to keep them from doing something stupid.

2) Watch the match directors and do not do anything until told to do so.

3) Watch that muzzle! Especially went reloading or clearing a jam.

4) Finger off the trigger when reloading and clearing a jam.

5) Start by shooting slowly but accurately. Slow hits are better than fast misses. If you start missing, your first instinct is to speed up to make up for the misses. Get your head back to together, focus on the front sight and get hits.

6) Just remember, it's just a bunch of people shooting at boards so don't take it too seriously. We don't.

Unless you are equipped with beautiful hood ornaments - NO. :naughty:

[Col. Mortimer 11]

UPDATE:

 

From HazMatt: We're going to run a couple of lever-action carbine matches if at least four of you nuts bring 'em ( pistol-caliber only!)

 

Remember, this is a lost brass match, and there are to be no uncased firearms off the firing line, so keep your ammo/mags and firearms separate. Bring a friend or two; membership is not necessary to shoot an event at Cherry Ridge.

Awwww shucks, you can't pick up your own brass???

[robot_hell 72]

I'm going. Looking forward to it.

Yes, you cannot take your brass. It slows the match down too much. In addition, with four shooters blasting away, it would be impossible to tell who's brass you were picking up.

[ronhonda 86]

OK, but for arguments sake, what happens to brass when the match is over?

[voodoodaddy 1]

I guess I'll just have to take your monies the old fashion way......By winning it!

[ronhonda 86]

Good job now people are going to think we are actually good at 2x4 matches. Moron!

[voodoodaddy 1]

:character-beavisbutthead:

[Col. Mortimer 11]

If you stay until the end of the match and help break down and clean up, you get a share of the mixed-brass. I'll even give you a free container for your brass.

[ronhonda 86]

I honestly don't think we will be staying towards the end. So not only will you get our monies, but you will also get our brass. No big deal.

[Old School 611]

With a heavy heart I must say I will not attend.

But what a choice. Shoot with your ugly mugs or shoot GSSF at Topton with my lovely wife and daughter.

[djg0770 481]

I met RobotHell there this am...

[robot_hell 72]

Had a good time. It was nice meeting everyone! I'd be willing to bet that come the next match, I'll either be reloading, buying from someone who does, shooting 9mm or all of the above. As much as I wanted to keep shooting, I was done by 11:45!

Reload - I went home and tonight in less than an hour I reloaded 200 rds of 45.

Fun day of shooting for voodoodaddy, marl31, 2 other friends and I. Nice to see a few familiar faces who I have not seen since the Paterson range days.

As a group, we sort of kicked ass. We only lost a total of 4 times.

The best was voodoodaddy and I getting the fastest time for a team yesterday (10.87)

45acp wadcutters still work the best. 40s&w not as good. Next time we'll see what 9 major can do to it other than punch little holes in the wood.

Looking forward to the next match to defend our title, and beat our time.

AHH! Those were you guys who got the 10.87. I tried my 40S&W for one match. It took me too long to line the sights up again. I did much better with the 1911 45acp.

Yeah that was us. The 40s&w worked, but the profile of the bullet was no where near that of a 45 wadcutter. Now I need to load some 45's. The screwed up things was that our 1st time up we got that time, and out 2 other friends broke their 2x4 a split second later. We spent the rest of the day chasing that time.
