Since the idoor range is all booked up this weekend, I was thinking I may try this match out and break in the TRP at the same time. If I have any issues with the gun, can I switch to my M&P or do I have to stay with just one?

Mehh... I dont think you can, If you sign up for one pistol, say - pistol iron. and you switch guns halfway through the match it no longer counts. I beilive you have to use the same gun for the entire relay for each score sheet.. Though, since you are an obrpc member, its cheap enough to sign up for 2 guns and shoot both.

 

But, that is something you would have to ask the competition organizers about, I dont know what the exact rules are on this situation.

I don't want to say one way or another, but Dave who runs he match would be the best person to ask about that. You can find his contact info in the OBRPC Newsletter if you want to ask before Sunday.

 

On another note, I doubt you will have any problems with the TRP, it's a damn good gun.

That's a good point. I'll be there.

 

Harry, you're bringing the GSG right? I want to check that out. I'm trying to decide between that and the M&P 22.

Yup the GSG will be there, still need to fit the Novak rear adjustable sight and probably won't be done by then, but hey, at least I have an excuse, plus for rim-fire Alec is hard to keep up with anyway. He's a madman with that MK III..

Looks like I am def going and bringing the chick. She was hesitant about shooting cuz she hasn't shot in months. She said she would go and just watch. No way, I would feel awful if she was just hanging out not shooting. I'd prob not even go.

I'll see you guys there.

I can bring the M&P 22

Cool, he can shoot both side by side.

Looks like we are going to have some good weather too. Should be a nice turn out.

That would be great. thanks.

What time is everyone getting there? Lets meet up and get all our registration papers in together.

I'll be there between 0830-0845, lets get a list of names together and see if we will be able to run a single squad or if we will be too many and broken into 2.

 

Copy and paste bellow and add who and how many guns: I'll start it, edit and add as appropriate:

 

Harry: (2 Guns)

Brian:

Yvonne:

Steve:

Nick (futool): (2 Guns)

Elvis:

Jon:

Alec: (2 Guns)

Mike (Gringo): (2 Guns)

Her name is yvonne if you wanna put that in there.

 

This is the easier steel match right? Targets are closer and a little easier then steel challenge matches?

It's not tough, While I don't know what stages they are setting up, they are normally about the same as WCS, some easier, some the same for the most part. doesn't matter, she will have a good time and the Weather looks like it's going to be great.

Bob and I are trying for tomorrow as well! Hopefully he gets out of work in time and we should be there around 8:45. We are both shooting one gun I do believe!!!! Looking forward to it, see ya's all tomorrow!

Im worried about the same thing in the morning, I get my work relief at 7am, so Im hoping that everybody remembers to show up to work after their drunken parties, if at all.

 

-alec

Alright, I'm going to try and get there around 815. so probably around 840!

 

I just made up some steel loads and I swear they suck. I'm using a better bullet and I swear they aren't shooting as accurately.

 

I was shooting a Berrys plated at 176 power factor. Yeah a little high but my barrel broke in and the power factor went up by 10. For the steel load I am using a Montana Gold bullet that theoretically should be running around 130 power factor and it is not shooting well at all. This could make for a long day tomo.

 

Gotta go paint my freshly made target stands now.

Looks like we probably will have to split into 2 squads

Wakey wakey. Should have put everything together last night. Doh

Yah, ME too, only I have to switch-out one set of packed explosives for another to do Shotgun this morning with my SxS.

 

So, it's COFFEE COFFEE for us!!

Hey, who the he!! had the cannon in the Shotgun area this morning................ We were in Pit #1 and all of a sudden we heard a double low-bass BOOM and saw what looked like a forest fire of smoke........... Can only guess who that was and what he was shooting!

 

PS: You guys get up wayyyyy too damn early!

I get up at 315am usually. I got up at 6 this morning. Thats sleeping in!

 

That was a black powder shotgun I think.

 

Now the waiting on the scores begins...

Oh, I know what Rosey was shooting with. Wondering if he was hitting anything though..........

 

Nick cheated and took pictures of the score sheets. He will post them up when he gets a chance.

 

You were ripping-along with your gun today. Your girlfriend was shooting good with that .22 also.

While breaking down Jon (i think) was real happy with the pace we shot at with our large group, he says if we keep that up he has no problem with allowing our group to shoot these large squads. We finished stages faster then some of the much much smaller squads.. I had fun, looking forward to doing it again real soon.

It was just little old me! and yes I did hit a few! Now that I got my load worked-out, it can smash those EVIL wabbbitts toooo!

Well, I gotta say I had a good time today. First time shhoting steel and first time out for the TRP, I was a little slow and had some misses but, not too bad.

 

When's the next one?

 

Thanks to Harry and Elvis for letting me try out their .22's That went about as I thought it would. I liked them both and still don't know which one to get.

 

The M&P is good practice for my 9L, and the GSG is good for the TRP. Guess I'll have to get both .

Yeah Dave, Jerry said you left nuttin of a silly rabbit................

 

I think our NJGF squad did very well time-wise today. There were no groups waiting for us for sure. Everything went very smoothly except for my mags falling out of my CX4. When I got home I figured-out what was wrong. The 96FS mags would go into the CX4 but would not lock-in. The CX4 mags would not go into the 96FS at all. Now I find out that my CX4 used PX4 Storm mags, not 96FS mags. Figures...................
