Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted December 29, 2011 I know that it's a long way off and much could change between now and then, but the extended forecast currently is calling for mostly sunny and temps in the 40's. If they have it, I'm going. I intend to "blood" my Steyr M9-A1. And AS350driver is in, also. Anybody else going? Adios, PIzza Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hd2000fxdl 422 Posted December 29, 2011 I was trying to get the day off for ID Steel at OB, but if I can take the day off this might be an option. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AS350Driver 56 Posted December 29, 2011 Should be a great weekend. Shongum on Saturday, and CJ on Sunday as long as we have good weather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
efl15 0 Posted December 29, 2011 I am definitely going to try and make it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrP 81 Posted December 29, 2011 I might be in, looking to dip my toes in the USPSA pool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col. Mortimer 11 Posted December 29, 2011 If the weather holds and it's not too windy for Ron, I'll be there. I'd like to check out that Steyr M9-A1. It's a nice pistol but doesn't fit my needs right now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan626 5 Posted December 29, 2011 From what I hear, there will be no match on Jan 7th in Shongum. Is there a match or no? Thanks for the info. Ryan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan I don't know where you heard there would not be a match. It is scheduled and we have shot January and February matches in the past. It all depends on the weather and field conditions. Right now the long-range forecast (guess) is favorable with no snow predicted and mild temps for 1/7. Ron will send the email on Sunday night and make the final decision by Friday evening. If you are planning to attend, please post here. It could affect Ron's decision to have the match if people are going to attend despite chilly temps.

RecessedFilter 222 Posted December 30, 2011 Damn, I am covering for someone that day. But I hear this talk about two matches in one weekend so, depending on the sunday steel match that I am guessing is OB, I am hoping to make that instead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hd2000fxdl 422 Posted December 30, 2011 Sat is uspsa shongum. Sun is uspsa cjrpc. Don't forget the normal match at OB on the 1st was moved to the 7th, so there is a Steel match at OB that weekend also. Gives an additional event for that weekend, just remember the OB matches for the winter months at least for the 1st Sunday normally (Static Steel and second Saturday are at the indoor range and not the outdoor range. Also it's frangible ammo only and they will have 9mm .40 and .45 for sale at cost. One last not for the steel people, the 3rd Sunday of the month match at OB is at the outdoor range weather permitting. It's only the first 2 WCS matched that move to the indoor range.

Col. Mortimer 11 Posted January 2, 2012 The January Match is Saturday, January 7th. Pistol match is 100 rounds. Registration is 9:30am. Help with setting up and packing up is always needed and appreciated. There will be a shotgun side stage after the pistol match of 14 rounds birdshot 71/2 or smaller. NOTES: If you plan to attend, reply to Ron Gumann at [email protected] and let him know by Thursday, January 5th, 8AM. If you are new and need the safety briefing be there by 9am and let Karen know at registration. If the match is cancelled for weather, Ron will send out an email notification around 5pm on Friday and it will be posted here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 264 Posted January 2, 2012 For the shotgun stage, how many rounds can we expect per target array? I assume I will need my 870 to be competitive, but it would be fun to shoot my 3-shot capacity autoloader... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are no arrays, just shoot 'em as you see 'em and reload as needed. Participates use a variety of shotguns from semi-autos set up for competition to stock pumps.

Col. Mortimer 11 Posted January 6, 2012 Tomorrow's forecast is 49 degrees and partly sunny. The morning will be 30 degrees so be ready for that. A day like this in January is a gift. If anyone wants to jump in to USPSA, let me know. I will start the safety briefing early in order to give you a greater degree of comform. As many will tell you, Shongum is a good place for your first match. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is that going to be an issue? First time USPSA shooter, but I've been shooting IDPA for a year or so now, Static Steel once or twice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maksim 1,504 Posted January 6, 2012 Show up by 9am, tell them you are new. No need to register for any local matches except Old Bridge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 264 Posted January 7, 2012 Can't wait! Finally zeroed the new sights on the Sig. Also chronoed the slightly shorter loads and they're consistently shooting over 1100fps(124gr) so hopefully no more steel dropping problems for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrP 81 Posted January 7, 2012 If I'm not shooting the Shotgun match, about what time might I be out of there (after helping clean up of course)? Supposed to catch a train to NY. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
