illy 1 Posted October 12, 2013 Think 2 speed loaders will cut it? I'd be shooting a GP100 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
illy 1 Posted October 12, 2013 Also, do you know offhand what distance the targets are set at? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronhonda 86 Posted October 12, 2013 Also, do you know offhand what distance the targets are set at? At least 10 yards Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
illy 1 Posted October 12, 2013 Sorry, just a couple more questions (I'm in no matter what, but just want to know what to expect) I've not shot any kind of match before, so this will be my first. What are the targets like? 6" round plates? Torso size rectangle? Something else? Also, "at least 10yds" meaning up to 15 or 20yds or are we shooting out to 25yds+? And is it 5 shot strings x5? I'll try to pick up a couple more speed loaders if I can find them local. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tommyfeds 2 Posted October 12, 2013 This sounds like fun. I so want to try my hand at some fun competition. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bully 749 Posted October 12, 2013 2 speed loaders should be fine. I'll help you reload them if you need between strings. Plates are a mix of torso sized and 6-8" round. They are set at 10ish yards, give or take a foot or two. Strings are generally 5 plates. 2-3 strings. Atmosphere is VERY casual. It's a great way, as a beginner, to give it a go without too much pressure. Great way to start getting used to shooting against the clock. Check Ramsey or Bullethole for speedloaders.

Bully 749 Posted October 14, 2013 Good time Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk 2 Hey Anthony. Very nice to meet and shake your hand. Last nite was a ball!! Shot 2 stages, 5 strings. All very organized. I'm guessing about 20 folks, total were there. Afterwards about 70% of the people left and they did a "Smoke and Hope" stage. I personally wasn't any faster but it really was fun. Got to meet millsan1 and handle one of the coolest model 25's I've ever seen. I'm looking to up the amount of competitive shooting I do and this was my re-introduction to it. I've done a touch of it but really want to make the effort to get out there and run against the clock. It's fun and really challenging especially given that I'm running a revolver. Power factors be damned!!! I'm out to get some grins. C Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zoid 24 Posted October 26, 2013 Tenafly is an awesome place to shoot. Probably the most down to earth and relaxing environment to shoot in from my experience. I just shot the ProAm match last Sunday and had a blast. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tommyfeds 2 Posted October 27, 2013 Sounds like a lot of fun and a good friendly place to start off but this is 60 miles from me :-( is there anything like this down in the middle of the state somewhere?

Rich N 0 Posted November 7, 2013 How often does Tenafly host these type of shoots? I'd like to give it a try. Sounds like a lot of fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10X 3,296 Posted November 7, 2013 How often does Tenafly host these type of shoots? I'd like to give it a try. Sounds like a lot of fun. Almost every Sunday evening. They sometimes deviate from the schedule in the link, but after you attend one match and get on the mailing list you'll be notified of any changes. http://trpclub.org/action.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
