The April match is Saturday, April 7th. The pistol match is 100 rounds. Registration is from 9:00AM to 9:30AM but help with setting up and packing up is always needed and appreciated. Set-up starts at 8:00AM. There will be a rifle side stage after the pistol match of 38 rounds.

 

Notes:

1. If you plan to attend, reply to Ron at [email protected] let him know by Thursday, March 1st, 8am.
   
2. If you are new and need the safety briefing be there by 9AM and let Karen know at registration. I will be running the safety briefing.
   
3. If the match is cancelled for weather, Ron will send out an email notification around 5pm on Friday and it will be posted here.
   

PS: The long-term weather forecast looks very good but after this past weekend, I might jinx it.

Approximately how long are the matches? Need to see if the sitter is available

The pistol match ends around 2:00 - 2:30. This match may end a little early since Sunday is Easter and we may have a small showing.

What kind of rifle can you use?

Even a winchester 90 lever action ?

It's looking more and more likely that I'll be in attendance, just need to check my schedule again (i always forget obligations). Going to go with the same setup I had at the class, but I see an order from Blade-Tech in the near future.

 

How many magazines would someone need for the rifle stage. I only have 1 magazine now (can't wait for that group order to come in!). Could probably borrow one from a friend. Would I need mag holsters for the rifle mags? I don't have any of those...if I do would anyone have them that I could borrow?

38 rounds.

 

Mark, I can bring a few extra mags you can use if we do not have Ty's in yet.

 

If I make it to this one, people can feel free to borrow my Ar.

Even a winchester 90 lever action ?

 

38 rounds with a level action would not be practical. I heard someone shot it with a bolt action and it took a long time. What caliber is the 90?

I cleared my schedule i will be there....mark I have a couple of pmags 15 rounders ill bring with me....i can grab some from the shop too we have some in stock.....

 

See y'all on Saturday......

 

Anyone have any extra m1a mags? Ive got one ten rounder.....

 

Note to self: Wear earmuffs and ear plugs.

Lol.....

 

I thought i was the only one making self notes.....

 

there is a cure for that. =)

How strict are they about the "can't fit a finger in the trigger guard while holstered" rule at the local matches? I only have my crappy soft universal holster until my Blade-Tech shows up. No one said anything on Saturday, but I figured it was probably because it was just a class. I don't want to commit myself to coming and then show up and get DQ'd for something stupid like that (off the clock, even, as Maks would add).

You will be fine. I would have stopped you if you had an unsafe holster. With a soft holster, you can get your finger on the trigger but you have to work at it. For Shongum, it is fine but the Blade-Tech is better.

38 rounds is a lot to reload. You'd be best to use that as a single shot and reload over the top. Was thinking of doing the same thing with my '73 and full house loads of real black.

Hoping I can make this so far so good!

I'm in

Looks like we don't have a sitter. Some B.S about a cadet brother's graduation and it being Easter weekend , thus a family weekend. These kids these days have their priorities screwed up ! lol

 

Does anyone's wife want to make some extra money and sit in the clubhouse with the baby for 4 hours ? Kidding..kind of.

I should be in. I'll be there early with all the other noobies for the briefing. I may or may not bring my AR for the side-stage, I just don't have any mag pouches for AR mags.

 

How many rounds would you typically bring for a 100rd match? I'm thinking 200-250 to be safe.

I'm seriously thinking about going. Do we need to join USPSA ahead of time, or can we just do it at the site?

Actually, if you join at the match ($40) you get to shoot the match for free (exclusive of the rifle side stage).

Can someone tell me what class a BHP would be in....I know minor....but I am guessing production...?? right??

 

Since the P35 is SA it cannot shoot in Production. Limited 10 minor would be your best bet.

 

1) $ 40.00 for USPA Membership match day shoot free..

2) Rifle side stage? $$$

Usually this is $5. Sometimes assessed just before the stage, but given daylight savings, the additional fee may be collected at registration

3) is the rifle side stage setup just like the pistol stage? If so how many rounds per stage (on average) ( i know comstock virginia etc...) what should we bring?

They usually take the "run & gun" pistol stage and modify it somewhat for rifle (like adding some longer distance and/or smaller targets to the base stage). This months stage is 38 rounds.

 

HTH

 

Adios,

 

Pizza Bob

 

 

BTW Sandy I can see if one of my daughters would like to do that for you....they are 17 and 15 and both have babysitting certifications...I am not sure what they are doing....we are leaving sunday for FLA the marching band is doing the disney thing so they might be tied up with that..... PS I pulled MANY strings to get out of stuff at home to attend.... ;- ) I LOVE my wife.....

I'm shooting you a PM!

I do not know if my 200gr 45 reloads fly enough to make major.

 

Nick:

 

We're not going to chrono you so bring the 45 reloads.

 

PS: What's your load?

38 rounds with a level action would not be practical. I heard someone shot it with a bolt action and it took a long time. What caliber is the 90?

 

its 30-30 and a internal mag of 6 so as you say, its impractical

 

Running 6.5 grns...it shows 843....but I never chrono'd it....

 

 

200 GR. CAST LSWC Winchester AutoComp .451" 1.225" 6.5 843 11,500 CUP 7.2 914

15,100 CUP

If you can, try using CLAYS for 45acp.

For me 200gr LSWC I need 4.3gr to make major at around 175.

Start around 3.7gr (nice soft plinking/steel load and go from there.

Most people use autocomp for open gun loads.

50/50 on going.

Holidays and big game between Flyers and the Penguins might keep me home.

Might.

I just happen to have autocomp on hand 4.5 lbs...

 

 

 

 

There is ONLY ONE THING TO KNOW ABOUT ICE HOCKEY........

 

 

 

 

Pick up a 1lb of Clays you will not be disappointed.

The Rangers are having a Fantastic year and have beaten the Flyers several times this year.

But the playoffs are 1 week away and that is when it all matters.

Theoretically by the numbers in the bool, that would be 168 PF.. 200 X 843 / 1000 = 168.6,, thats would be great if you were right at that PF, you only need to make 165 for Major.

 

Realistically if might be different but for a match like this, you will be good.

 

FYI: for higher level match I would shoot for 170PF to be safe and maybe vary that a little depending on what the temps will be where you shoot, you wouldn't want to just miss and have to shoot minor.

What I need to do is figure out how to get more practice in.....

 

This. Would be great to hear some methods for practicing from the gurus (other than "shoot more matches"). Other than the usual draw an unloaded gun from a holster over and over at home, for the range I'm thinking of trying from low ready, decocked, two shots on target. And beyond that, for a range that allows "controlled rapid fire", using 2+ targets on a stand, 2 shots per target in succession.

Practice dry firing and drawing for 30 mins a day. Will work wonders.
