OBRPC P.P.C. FRIDAY 11/11

[henrym 19]

So who is coming down friday night? I will be there around 5:45

[hd2000fxdl 422]

I think we have a few that said they are going, but you might want to put a little more in the description of what it is, I have an idea but it would be better coming from someone who has shot it before.

 

Oh and don;t make it sound like too much fun please, I can't afford another discipline.

[alec.mc 180]

I should be there.

[Maksim 1,504]

what is that?

[hd2000fxdl 422]

what is that?

 

He said he will be there, now move along nothig to see here, we don't need to get into another shooting sport anyway..

Quoted from newsletter

PPC League is a FUN place to be as well as an

excellent venue to learn the basics of safe gun handling in

a friendly competitive atmosphere. We feature a 60-round

Course of Fire shooting in free-style standing, barricade,

sitting and prone positions while engaging B-27 & B-34

silhouette targets from 7-25 yards distance. Side arms can

be holstered or you may start from the low-ready position.

Each Relay takes approx. 45 minutes to shoot & score.

First timers are welcome and are asked to attend at least

one Relay prior to shooting our League so that they may

better acquaint themselves with the Range Commands and

cadence. All that’s required is a hand gun that you’re

completely familiar with, 4 mags or speed-loaders, 60

rounds per Relay you wish to shoot, and a zippered gun

rug or hard case to carry the hand gun to the firing line. As

mentioned before, holsters are used, but you can start from

the low-ready position.

[henrym 19]

Here is the course of fire:

 

6 rounds Reload 6 rounds at 7 yards freestyle (~ 15 Seconds)full scale torso target

 

6 rounds at 7 yards Strong hard Only (~9 seconds)full scale torso target

 

6 rounds reload 6 rounds freestyle at 14 yards freestyle (~30 seconds)full scale torso target

 

6 rounds sitting 6 rounds prone 6 roads right hand barricade 6 rounds left hand barricade at 25 yards (~2 minutes)on a half scale torso target

 

I cant remember the times exactly so they are approximate

 

It looks easy but trust me its not. It was built for revolvers but can be shot by what ever gun you bring from holster or low ready

 

Divisions are Revolver Iron Sights, Revolver open, Semi Auto Iron Sights, Semi auto open sights

Now that doesn;t sound to bad, now when you say, left and right barricade, is that strong hand weak hand or just shooting around to the left and then to the right.. Also is it also timed as quickest time and accuracy, or just accuracy?

[henrym 19]

Barricade Shooting is actually strong and weak hand shooting on opposite sides of a post. Scoring is purely accuracy based.

[hd2000fxdl 422]

Got-cha, thanks for the info, I'll have to get down there one of these days and show you all how it's NOT supposed to be done.

[M4BGRINGO 139]

Sorry Harry, that role is already fulfilled by me.

 

I will be there Henry, might have a friend with me too if he wants to give it a "shot".

 

This is a fun shoot, Dave is a good guy and has good people helping run shooters when he isn't running them.

 

Costs members a whopping $5.00 per course of 60 shots. 600 is a perfect score. I haven't seen anyone do it yet, but some of these people get pretty close. I am no threat...........

[henrym 19]

Closest I saw was lonny at a 558. I had my stars align last month for a 536 but we all know that was a fluke

 

even a blind squirrel stumbles upon a nut once in a while.

[MrP 81]

I might try and make it out to this, what's the cost for non-members? Also, the part about the relays confused me. Being a first timer (to PPC, not competitive shooting), what would be expected of me exactly?

[M4BGRINGO 139]

I believe the cost for non-members is $10 a relay.

 

A relay consists of 60 shots.

 

Henry laid-out the course of fire above. Yeah Dave, I actually remembered that term you so dearly love!

 

So, you get 60 shots between two different targets, the big guy and the little guy. You better score well on the big guy because you get to shoot at him pretty close compared to the little guy at 25 yards.

[RecessedFilter 222]

This sounds like fun, good thing I work friday nights...damnit.

[StephanieSeven 70]

What time?

[alec.mc 180]

What time?

 

7PM

[zoid 24]

Wow, this sounds sweet! This is the indoor range I presume.

Isn't it right next to the outdoor range?

[hd2000fxdl 422]

Wow, this sounds sweet! This is the indoor range I presume.

Isn't it right next to the outdoor range?

 

NO it;s not next to the outdoor range, It's on Maple Street off of Rt 18, just check the website for directions if you like: OBRPC

[hd2000fxdl 422]

What time?

 

Holly crap, seems you fall off the face of the earth all summer long and now your looking at Friday and Saturday at OB this week.

[Jon 264]

What time?

 

:o

 

Guess I have to make this...

[hd2000fxdl 422]

:o

 

Guess I have to make this...

 

I will have to miss this, Have to get the OL to the Airport at 0300 for a week long FAM trip on a cruise ship, yea her job sucks. Also I have a bunch of stuff to do before I shoot Saturday's match so NO Friday night Fun for me, well not at the Range that is..

[Jon 264]

Can anyone bring extra 1911 mags for a friend of mine?

[M4BGRINGO 139]

I have four 1911 mags somewhere around here, I'll try to find them and bring them with me.

 

The BEST landmark for the indoor range is the WAWA at the corner! Take a right at that light (provided you were heading south on Rt 18) and the range is down on the left just after the apartments. (For those that have not been there yet).

 

I imagine the door should be blocked open so you can easily get in without a swipe card.

[alec.mc 180]

Looks like I am out, got stuck at work for a double due to people calling out.

 

 

have fun

[zoid 24]

Is this a monthly/weekly shoot? Can't make tonights but really want to go.

[NickC 23]

I haven't embarrassed my self enough this week. If new shoots are allowed i'll be there.

[M4BGRINGO 139]

Yes, new shooters allowed. I would recommend watching a relay fist so you are familiar with what you will have to do. This is a once a month event. Good thing it is not weekly, I would be spending a fortune on ammo! See you all in a little bit.

[hd2000fxdl 422]

Mike, I thought it was only 60 rounds.. Or do you shoot the 60 rounds multiple times??

[Jon 264]

60 rounds per string. You can shoot as many strings as you want, but you pay by the string. The actual shooting was enjoyable. The wait to shoot(as a "new" shooter) was aggravating. Paying $20 to fire 60 rounds over the course of 15 minutes!? Deal-breaker. I will not be back unless the price drops.
