USPSA match last Sunday left me with extra ammo.

Can you give some details on this event? I am unfamiliar with 'action shoot'...

I will try to be there. Not sure what caliber ammo they sell there for this event though. Guess I'll bring several different handguns to make sure I will have something to shoot.

 

 

RF: They shoot steel indoors but you must use frangible ammo. I was told they sell it there just for this match. Not sure what calibers they have though. You can bring your own, but make sure to show them what you are using to make sure they approve it. Don't want stuff bouncing around and hitting others!

here's info from the OBRPC website - this is open to non-members as well:

 

This is the place to learn about shooting USPSA Action Matches. Action shooters move, negotiate obstacles and shoot. Scoring is by speed and accuracy.

 

We hold an introductory class session plus live fire. We generally run 4 stages consisting of 12-32 rounds. You don’t need any special equipment to try this, any serviceable safe pistol and sufficient magazines to hold 30 rounds, typically three 10 round mags will be more than you need to try out. Most indoor matches require 60 to 80 rounds to complete, but we always suggest that you bring at least 100 rounds.

 

We meet the First and Third Friday of every month starting around 6:30 and generally wrapping up around 11:00.

 

 

Sounds fun but I think I'm gonna pass since I am shooting Shongum tomorrow.

It is indoor uspsa no classifier.

No ammo sold for the Friday night indoor action matches. Frangible ammo available for the first Sunday indoor static steel.

frangible required?

I think its only required for the steel match.

 

frangible required?

Frangible ammo is not required on the first and third Friday indoor action matches and you must bring your own ammo. Frangible ammo is required at the first Sunday static steel matches that are moved indoors December-March.Frangible ammo is available at the Sunday Steel matches but you should contact the match director prior and let him know what caliber you'll need.

regular ammo is fine

Sorry guys, got the two events mixed-up.

 

I like shooting steel, guess I have to wait a little bit.

Well, I met Mike who helps with the setup sometimes for this event at the outdoor range today. Guess I'll give it a "shot" with some of my revolvers tonight. He said it starts at 6:30. Normal ammo is what we will be using tonight.

Rey,

 

Im going. I'll see you there

I'm still in the office and jumping into a meeting shortly. I'll try to be there by 7.

That was definetely a good time. Quick reload tutorial between stages was a nice touch.

 

very friendly for new to uspsa shooters, if you want to intro into it.

awesome to hear.... and I bet it was nice and warm inside.

It was too warm actually...........

 

It was fun. Eric and Vlad were great, they made sure that the two newbies (me being one of them) knew what to do and what not to do. Vlad was pretty funny! I had met him at an outdoor event I had watched earlier this year. I had not shot this particular event before, but is was very similar to other outdoor stuff I have done.

 

I will certainly be doing this event again.

who is Eric?

who is Eric?

 

He runs the indoor matches on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month. He's a really nice and good guy.

I had a fun time... awesome practice with valuable lessons from Vlad, Jim and the other long time USPSA shooters. Whenever I attend the indoor, I also try to listen in again at the safety briefing for new shooters.

 

It was great meeting Mike the wife.

 

Bill, thanks for showing everybody a different way of doing mag reloads.

I'm bad with names. Who was the fella shooting in Open with the ported gun, red dot sight, shooting .38 Super? That gun was hilarious. Did a good job cleaning the ceiling with that ported barrel! He sounded like a machine gun he was shooting so darn fast. I held-up the rear with my revolver.

 

Eric was cool. I had an "oops" on my last shot of the night. I did hit the target, but he knew that I didn't mean to shoot at it when I did. He talked to me about what happened, that was fine with me. Not a DQ thing, but easily could have lead to one. Shooting weak-hand unsupported is not an easy thing and something most probably do not practice. I only do that in the PPC event, and have only shot that one a few times.

I don't know his name either. However, when your shooting an open gun indoors it does sound crazy loud and you take out some of the insulation from the ceiling from the blast.

 

BTW, there were two kids, probably around 10-12 years old, that we're shooting better than half of us.

The guy shooting the 38 super open gun was probably Doug Callahan, his wife Batty also shoots a 38 super open gun. Yes Doug's gun is a tad on the loud side. Lol

Yeh, I'm a 1%'er. The rest of the masses are wrong !

Those two boys and their father are all good shooters. I have shot with them at OBRAMS (.22 rimfire outdoors run on Saturdays). I bet they also shoot the Thursday night indoor rimfire event. I'm impressed watching them both using handguns at that age, heck, even my wife doesn't like the kick of her 92FS and one (or both) of those boys was using a PX4!
