This Friday is one of my points races so unless we get rained-out I'll be going 135ish........ Is this Indoor Action event a steel-target event? Someone told me about an indoor steel event in which they had to use frangible ammo which isn't cheap. Just curious.

 

I'll be at the outdoor site though on Sunday shooting trap.

Mike,

 

NO, this isn't a Steel League that uses frangible ammo! That League runs December to March I think, on the first Sunday of the month, at the Indoor Range.

 

This is Indoor Action, which is a USPSA practice Match featuring 4 stages, each stage with a maximum round count of 18. The first 2 stages are "lighter" versions of our Outdoor USPSA Match, with a very (careful) limited use of a knockdown steel target or two. More than 90% are paper-only stages that are a real hoot to shoot! Shooting through a barrel, around doors, or having to open a door (the safe way) and engage the targets that are thereby exposed all come into play with these scenarios that are thought-up by our stage designers. All USPSA divisions are represented and some of the best shooters in the game show-up for practice. A few of the wives also shoot and do a good safe job holding their own. The last two stages are a "Speed Shoot" where fast & safe gun handling and quick mag changes are the thing you want to do as you "hose" the targets.

 

I usually bring my .44 Magnum with 8 3/8" barrel (loaded with specials) or my .357 Magnum with .38 specials. Occasionally I'll bring my .45 Auto and flip 'em all out since I'm not wearin' my hogleg, LOL!

 

Have a good time at the Track if I don't see you and stop over the 100 yard Range on Sunday for a hello, as I'll be mentoring a 14 year old in the "Dark Arts" of the Black Powder League.

Dave, first of all, I am BAD with names. It was Glenn that was shooting the eyes outta everything the other night in the Bullseye Event.

 

The wife and I went over for a few hours tonight. I took one of the bench rests out and did some shooting from the sitting position and then some from laying. I had her watching with a spotting scope so we could see exactly where I was hitting. I wasn't trying to do holster stuff. Kept the gun safety on until I had it up on target. Had it in the gun bag before and after shooting. Just wanted to make sure nothing dumb could happen. Hopefully practicing like that isn't against the rules, otherwise the world now knows what I did!

 

Anyway, I had no problem hitting the target once I saw that I needed to cover the bullseye with the front site and not "lollipop" it like I would normally do. I'll be much better next time we do that indoor event.

 

We also spent an hour getting the red dot site on my Ruger 10/22 setup, that is nice. We took turns shooting and spotting for each other. Of course, she had her 686 with her and went through two boxes, she LOVES that gun!

Glenn is a great shot for sure! Glad you & the Mrs. had a good time. What target were you using a 25 yards? Do you need some B-34's to practice with? Sitting & prone should be O-K, but you have to have the target frame in the pipes at the back of the range and watch your cone-of-fire. You probably did fine. If you're not sure, just call me.

I used a small target that I put dead-center in the large frames that we stick in the turning-holders. We actually saw that all 10 shots were not only on the cardboard, but they were actaully on the small 8x8 target! No stray shots. I didn't want to do more than 10 shots. It seemed strange to have that port wide-open like I did while on the right-side of the room another person was shooting. I made sure that I stayed behind the "wall" if you want to call it that. After the 10 shots I put the port back together and went-back to "normal" shooting.

 

I do need some of the B-34's to practice with eventually.

Sounds like you did really well. I just ordered a case of the B-34's for the League. See me sometime and I can let 'em go for cost to League members. I'll be there tonight with the kids doing the Youth Small Bore League.

What time is the event tonight?

Mike,

 

Sorry I missed this reply. FYI all of the events are in the club calendar in the newsletter.

 

Have a good time at the track tonight. See you around.
