alec.mc 180 Posted July 11, 2012 I haven't heard otherwise, Still on ( weather permitting i guess ) I should be there all weekend. Shooting that new AR build this weekend futey? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueLineFish 615 Posted July 11, 2012 Im there. Will be my first time shooting the 92d. Jacked up trigger finger and all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonF 79 Posted July 11, 2012 No, won't have it back in time to use it this weekend. I had to send the lower to builder so he can build the upper and test/tune it and, as of today, he is just finishing the building part and has yet to do the testing part.

JonF 79 Posted July 11, 2012 Yikes! Buncha savages in this town! If you had an HK Mk.23, you'd be able to shoot with a bandage AND winter gloves on. lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve_G 51 Posted July 12, 2012 IN!! I spoke to Leo this past Saturday and knockdown steel is on every month now. (weather permitting).

JonF 79 Posted July 12, 2012 Steve, thats good to know. Did he say they would be all year round now? Previously they were somewhat seasonal with no matches for about 5-6 months during winter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know, I didn't think to ask if that included winter. Guess we'll find out Saturday. Hopefully, it will be like USPSA, it's on unless we have really bad weather.

woodentoe 14 Posted July 12, 2012 My wife is away with her girlfriends this weekend...leaving me with the three kids. Happy to spend time with them but...no shooting for Jimmy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heavyopp 167 Posted July 12, 2012 I wish I could but saturdays this time of year are hard to get free for me What is the round count for this? How many shots per stage average? Just curious Jer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonF 79 Posted July 12, 2012 I generally bring about 300 rounds just to be safe. Usually use much less... say 200 rounds or something like that. Some of the stages will have upwards of 40 plates and with 5 stages, the ammo goes quick! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M4BGRINGO 139 Posted July 12, 2012 Alec, are we going to try the Saiga this Saturday if the weather isn't too hot? Lemme know, I can bring it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alec.mc 180 Posted July 12, 2012 Up to you Micheal. Im hoping to have my 625 back by then, been waiting what seems like forever. Maybe we duel revolvers? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Candide 0 Posted July 12, 2012 Does anyone know if a gsg carbine in .22 will knock down the steel? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonF 79 Posted July 12, 2012 generally the answer is no, 22's just don't have enough energy to knock down all the plates. maybe they will work with the smaller plate racks but with the larger poppers I think you'll have a problem. I saw a video online of a guy at a club doing the same sort of thing and he was having to triple tap the plates to coax them over. so yeah, it is possible, but you will go through a lot more ammo then the center fire guys and run the risk of not completing the stage if you run out of ammo and magazines. but it's all for fun so why not give it a shot? you can enter multiple classes so bring your pistol too.

NickC 23 Posted July 12, 2012 Does anyone know if a gsg carbine in .22 will knock down the steel? Welp, people have tried, and most gave up after a few stages. Assuming this is the same as the previous knockdown, 22 is just too damn small to knock over the large poppers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaii 0 Posted July 13, 2012 I emailed someone a while back and they never got back to me... have never shot steel or "practical" competitions before. I want to shoot this with one of my stock shotguns (870 clone or 11-87, no mag extension tubes) but I don't have any equipment other than a shell bag for trap shooting. Do I need speed loaders to be able to play? Is there a par time? I have no issues with having the worst times, I just want to at try this sport out! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M4BGRINGO 139 Posted July 13, 2012 No Par time, whatever you take you take. Squad with us to give us a break! Shell bag will work just fine. One important rule: If the ammo rolls-off the table or you drop it, it is out of play. If you bend down to pick it up, you are out of play. The shell bag will work just fine, ammo won't fall out of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueLineFish 615 Posted July 13, 2012 Last time a couple guys were using pump shotguns. Takes time but who cares. It's all about having fun. I will definitely try is with the ksg one day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
