2x4 Cutting match at Cherry Ridge

Featured Replies

You do not have to be a member of Cherry Ridge.

 

Two teams of two shooters each shoot at two stakes of 2 x 4 lumber at ten yards. The first team to shoot their stake in two wins.

 

The weapon of choice is a .45ACP but we have many 9MM shooters. During this match we also shoot .22 matches with a 1x2 or 2x2 and revolver matches. Given the current high price of ammo, accuracy will be more important than rate of fire. If you want a change of pace from punching holes in paper, try blasting a 2x4 in half.

 

Directions to the range: http://www.anjrpc.org/range_directions.htm

Is there a class for 12 gauge slugs? :twisted:

 

Or 12 gauge 3 1/2 inch mag buckshot??

I've bone similar shoots at other clubs, always a lot of fun.

That would be a short match with a 2x4. Maybe a 2x10 or 4x4?

I am quite interested in this... esp if there is a 22lr match. How far away is the wood? entrance fee?

 

The wood is 30 feet away. You pay $3.00 each time you shoot, but if you win, you get $4.00 back. I should give you some tips to enhance your enjoyment of this event:

 

1. Bring a chair. It makes waiting for your next match easier.

2. An umbrella is a good idea as it does get hot in the sun. I will have a 10' x10' canopy set up but it only holds some many people.

3. If you plan on being there most of the day, bring water and a snack.

4. Figure on shooting 20 to 40 shots per match. Less if you are good and more if you aren't. Due to the high cost of ammo, I am sure people will be shooting slowly and accurately. Bring enough magazines to hold 40 rounds or so. Reloading really slows you down.

5. A back up gun is always a good idea.

I have one of those canopy tents as well. humn. =) How many people show up to an event like that?

 

anyone else interested?

 

We usually have 20 to 30 but with ammo being expensive and in short supply I am not sure what the turn out will be. The upside is a smaller crowd means less waiting.

Pencil me in.

This really sounds like it would be fun, but my weekends are booked for the next few weeks.

The offical starting time is 8:30AM and they usually start by 9:00AM. The fee is $3.00 per shooter. Also, you do not have to be a Cherry Ridge member.

We had a few shower but it was a good day in all.

I wanted to go but the weather forecast kept me close to home yesterday. Hopefully next time.

That Looks like fun. How many people showed up? I couldn't go due to a family party. Please keep us informed on when the next one is.

 

People came and went during the day. I got there a little before noon and we had about a dozen participants consisting mostly of the regulars. Considering the current ammo situation, it was a good turnout. We did have a few first timers. I told everyone to go to this site but I should have brought some flyers.

 

Kenw: I set up my canopy tent so I was fine. We had several showers pass through in the afternoon and had to break during the rain. However, no one left due to the rain. There was talk of a cook out on the next one but the cost, time and work involved makes it unlikely.

What time does it start? and $3 per shooter or per team?
$3.00 per shooter and $4.00 prize per shooter if your team wins.

The total for the day was about 15 which is good considering the weather and the current ammo shortage. The next one is August 22nd and it starts around 8:00AM and ends at 3:00PM. I will post a reminder closer to the event.

 

See you there.

Col.,

 

Are you coming up to CR for the group meetup? Wait, let me rephrase that...Come up to CR for the group meetup. Big fun will be had by all.

Ugh.. could you guys push that back a week? :lol: I'm going to be on the beach in St Maarten sipping on a fruity girly drink. (Un?)fortunatley, I'm going to miss the Rimfire action match at Old Bridge as well. :?

When is it and which one is it? Is this the second Sunday meet up for clays? It will be tough this month as I have the USPSA match that Saturday. I have to keep up with the yard work.

The big North/South Central meetup on Aug. 23. It's looking like a decent turnout is expected.

The next 2x4 match is the 22nd so I'm not sure I can get the whole weekend off.
