Yea, I know, if this was only later in the month it wouldn't matter being I would have off, Oh well, you will get at least 5 classifiers in this weekend, you might even want to do 2 guns for that..

Doubt it, not like it's a nor-easter coming through so while the seas might be a little choppy for a while, but I see no reason they would delay push off..

She's not on a Costa Cruises ship is she?

[Maksim 1,504]

dunno. Although Costa Cruises is supposed to be pretty nice.

I think their fleet is two ships short right now.

Noooooo I was going to the lower providence one on sat. I probably won't be able to go sunday. Damn St. Patrick parade in Belmar

[AS350Driver 56]

Just got the email from Ron, and it's on. See everyone there.

[ronhonda 86]

Match is on, bring rain gear. No side stage.

[Maksim 1,504]

I will not be going, but am a 75/25 going to Lower Providence on Sunday.

[AS350Driver 56]

Wish I could do LP on Sunday, but other plans have already been in place.

[Dan 177]

So far I'm still a go for Shongum tomorrow.

[RecessedFilter 222]

FML. We gotta finish a job tomorrow and I have to work.

 

*sigh...hope you guys have fun.

[Maksim 1,504]

bring a brush... to clean magazines once they drup in the mud.

[Babaganoosh 192]

I use this one. I also take my gun to the safe table once a match, lock the slide back and run the brush thru the grip and ejection port. Also good for taking the mags apart and cleaning them at home in the sink.

If it's inside you might be better off, not that I melt in the rain, heck I have done 600 mile days in the rain on my bike. The only good thing is it should be a warm rain with a few thunderstorms in the morning and post frontal west winds gusting into the mid 20 in the afternoon.

[notmetoo 41]

Oh well, we bailed. What's next weekend?

[Dan 177]

I also bailed. I can deal with the cold, but I'm not a fan of slopping around in the rain and mud.

[Maksim 1,504]

Lower providence tommorow, cj next Sunday

[Pizza Bob 1,488]

Wusses! It had stopped at least 30 - 45 minutes before we started. No mud and slop at Shongum - it's all grass or gravel. Since they had to set-up in the rain, they only set four simple but fun stages. The turnout was appx 24 people IIRC - which we broke down into three eight-man squads. We were done by 12:30. Ron offered to let people run through the stages a second time for fun, if they so desired.

 

the second stage was somewhat interesting and caused a number of people to melt down. Six targets equidistant but at varying heights. Each target was designated with a different color (the head and a stripe across the bottom). There was a leprechaun's hat at the shooters box, hanging from a pole. In the hat were six shot glasses each of a color corresponding to one of the targets. At the start signal you had to reach into the hat, with your strong hand, and withdraw a shot glass. Whatever color the shot glass was, that target became a no-shoot. You shot each remaining target with one round, free-style; mandatory reload; engage each target with one round, freestyle again; mandatory reload and engage each target with one round strong hand only. Many procedurals and no-shoot hits. It was a really interesting stage.

 

Lotta fun - sorry if you missed it. See you next Sunday at CJ, God willing and the creek don't rise.

 

Adios,

I didn't know that about Shongum, never shot there before. CJRPC would have been a mud pit.

I don't mind the mud and grime for myself - I'm just too lazy to clean my equipment afterward.

Sounds like a fun day! It's beautiful out now as I write this.

[Dan 177]

That stage sounds fun Bob. Now I know, Shongum doesn't get muddy. All I kept thinking in the AM was how muddy the place would be like CJ gets. I'm like AndyB, I don't mind playing in it, just hate cleaning up afterwards.

[hd2000fxdl 422]

Bob, sounds like a fun stage, sorry i missed it, but I did take the day off for next month already so I'll make that match.

Guilty! I wussed out. Sounds like it was a fun time.

[Maksim 1,504]

Problem with shongum is not the mud but the small gravel at the top that gets into the mags.

 

I usually show up there for fun and b cause I shot my first match there, but rain, and what was likely going to be very simple stages, a classifier I was going to zero, and an hour and a half drive each way.... Was just not worth it to me especially once you throw in lower providence into the equation tomorrow.

 

If I lived within 30 mins, I absolutely would of come out though.

[Babaganoosh 192]

I'm really annoyed about lower providence tomo. However I told the woman we would hang out tomo for the parade, parties, and bars. She doesnt get mad when I go to matches, shooting, snowboarding, riding, surfing, fabricating things that she doesnt care about, or pretty much anything for that matter. I'll do what she wants sometimes. I'll get classified the old fashioned way.
