I was curious as to who is going to this on Saturday? I would like to give it a shot! Does anyone know if you have to be there at 8:00 am for a briefing if you are new to this? 22's only right?

PM Iggyort, as he's the Dicipline Chairman. Iggy will be glad to fill you in. Yes it's .22's ONLY, starting from the "Low-Ready" position (gun pointed 45* down-angle, finger along the slide). Not sure about the exact time for Noobs, but they're very beginner-friendly. USPSA Rules apply, just cheaper to shoot with .22's. 10 rounds max per mag.

 

I've never actually shot it, and others here have, so they'll no doubt chime-in with more/better info. I do know that Iggy ran a class for Noobs a while ago that was well attended, so that means that they'll be busy with extra competitors unless the bad weather chases folks away!

Thanks Dave, I am going to try and make it to this one, sounds like fun!!

No. 22 pistol for me. Gsg only

.22 rifles and pistols were welcome last year. Not sure if that changed for this year?

Pistol or carbine. Info on the WEBSITE

Joe,

 

Bring the rifle. Someone will probably be able to loan you a pistol. If they do--just be nice back (ammo, lunch, etc.) No reason not to show-up! Like I said, very beginner-friendly! Enjoy yourself!

I plan on being there, I'll bring my ruger mark 2 - not so easy on the mag changes since the release is on the bottom of the pistol grip, but should work just fine.

 

Also might bring my 10/22, it's got a scope on it setup for 50 yards or so, i'll have to experiment with it zoomed all the way out.

Alec sounds good, I'm glad your going to this one! I'll have a million questions, lol! my mark 3 is a pain in the butt with some of the mags not wanting to go in easily, unless it's just me!!!

I plan to be there as well. The M&P 22 ran well at static steel, should be gtg for OBRAMS. Looks like Saturday may turn out to be pretty nice, weather wise. Sunday's not lookin too good though.

How many mags would be recommended if I were going to run the GSG and only allowed to load 10 round mags

Iggy told me I need 5 mags and 300 rounds for my mark iii.

 

Unfortunately, I only own two mags at the moment and don't have a belt pouch.

 

No obrams for me this month.

4 of the 5 five stages have been posted. 32 rounds is the longest, one with 3 mandatory reloads, so 4 mags would do it.

Lookalike I need to pick up another GSG mag and belt pouch for said mags

If scheduling works out for me, I'm looking to attend this one too. It will be my first foray into any competitive shoot,definitely a noob in that regard. Unfortunately I missed the introduction class, so I'll be there an hour early for the safety overview and intro

 

I have a stock ruger 22/45 mk iii with 5 mags, but I don't have a magazine pouch. Is a mag pouch a requirement or can you stick them in your pockets or waistband (obviously at the expense of speed)?

I'll be there, hopefully will get a chance to sight the GSG 1911 but who knows, starting to get used to aiming low left to get hits.

woodentoe if mags is all that is keeping you from coming I have a Mark 3 as well and would be willing to let you share my mags!!! I do not have a pouch so I am hoping I can use pockets or such!! We'll see!! Lisa

I did this event a year ago. Iggy took me to an open pit and had me shoot 10 rounds into the berm, reload, shoot another 10 rounds. Just wanted to make sure I knew how the gun worked, that I knew how to safely drop and change mags, and knew how to handle the gun.

 

He was also nice enough to loan me some mags for my Ruger 10/22 that were much easier to swap-out compared to the mags that came with that rifle.

 

Anyone using a rifle should get there early or sight-in their guns during the week if you have optics on it. I had a red dot on mine and found that on some of the close targets (less than 10 yards) the gun was way off. I had sighted-in the gun for 25 yards.

 

It is a really fun event and cheap to shoot! I would be there except I will be at the indoor range replacing all the overhead wood that has been shot-up over the years. Have fun people!

Thanks for putting in the hard work, that is greatly apprciated!! We will catch ya at another match for sure!!

In OBRAMS you can use .22LR Rifles , Pistols or Revolvers.

 

We normally squad Rifle shooters separately from Handgun shooters

 

The suggested ammo is 210-300 rounds of .22LR

 

Do not worry about magazines holders, since OBRAMS permits you to "stage" your magazine along the C.O. F. (COURSE OF FIRE )

 

Four magazines are fine but five magazines will permit you to "optimize" your reload locations.

 

See you at the Match,

 

Iggyort

Iggy, What about guys shooting hand gun and carbine? -- or do participants typicaly only shoot one gun for the day ?

There will normally be 2 squads, a rifle and pistol squad, making shooting both weapons impossible.

10-4.

 

Havent dont obrams before, most events I do people always usually sign up for 2 guns.

 

I'll stick with the one handgun then, thanks

What time do we need to be there? OBRAMS site says 10 am, OB calendar says 7 am.....

 

I have shot several of the Friday Indoor action matches, and a couple static steel, do I need the intro?

I think i'm in. Was going to do USPSA on Sunday but the weather isn't looking very promising for that so we'll have to see.

Would love to go but don't have a 22 with enough mags. sniff sniff.

Maks, i've got a buckmark and a gsg 1911 and 5 mags for each i was gonna bring. Not sure which one i'm gonna shoot yet but you're welcome to borrow one for the day if you do want to come out. I even have mag pouches for both.

Do you need to register for this? And do you need mag pouches & holster? I don't have any mag pouches that will securely hold my MarkIII mags, nor do I have a holster for the MarkIII.

Apparently most of the stages are either table starts or low ready so no holster needed. According to the match director, you can also "Stage" your mags through the course so they're there at your reload points instead of carrying on your person. Then there's the back pocket method...
