Looks like the second Saturday is upon us. OB members, is this still on? Who's going? I'm definitely in!

I haven't heard otherwise, Still on ( weather permitting i guess )

 

I should be there all weekend.

 

 

Shooting that new AR build this weekend futey?

Im there. Will be my first time shooting the 92d. Jacked up trigger finger and all

No, won't have it back in time to use it this weekend. I had to send the lower to builder so he can build the upper and test/tune it and, as of today, he is just finishing the building part and has yet to do the testing part.

What's wrong with your finger, Joe? One of your Tauruses go kaboom?

No. Got bitten by a perp and lost a small chunk of flesh on my trigger finger. Its the large bandage thats the problem.

Yikes! Buncha savages in this town! If you had an HK Mk.23, you'd be able to shoot with a bandage AND winter gloves on. lol

Shouldnt this be filed under the ZED section?

 

warning: stay away from joe, will turn into zombie shortly

IN!!

 

I spoke to Leo this past Saturday and knockdown steel is on every month now. (weather permitting). They got the new websight up, haven't done much with it yet but, it should be updated and added to soon.

I'm immune...took zombie anti virals

Steve, thats good to know. Did he say they would be all year round now? Previously they were somewhat seasonal with no matches for about 5-6 months during winter.

You know, I didn't think to ask if that included winter. Guess we'll find out Saturday. Hopefully, it will be like USPSA, it's on unless we have really bad weather.

Also, the 3rd sunday of the month speed on steel is year round.

I'll be there with the brass whore bucket in hand.

Not if I get to it first.

Ill be donating some good ranger 147 g jhp 9mm cases.

I'm in! We'll see about the wife and my friend.

My wife is away with her girlfriends this weekend...leaving me with the three kids. Happy to spend time with them but...no shooting for Jimmy.

I wish I could but saturdays this time of year are hard to get free for me

 

What is the round count for this? How many shots per stage average? Just curious

 

 

Jer

I generally bring about 300 rounds just to be safe. Usually use much less... say 200 rounds or something like that. Some of the stages will have upwards of 40 plates and with 5 stages, the ammo goes quick!

Alec, are we going to try the Saiga this Saturday if the weather isn't too hot? Lemme know, I can bring it.

Up to you Micheal.

 

Im hoping to have my 625 back by then, been waiting what seems like forever. Maybe we duel revolvers?

Does anyone know if a gsg carbine in .22 will knock down the steel?

generally the answer is no, 22's just don't have enough energy to knock down all the plates. maybe they will work with the smaller plate racks but with the larger poppers I think you'll have a problem. I saw a video online of a guy at a club doing the same sort of thing and he was having to triple tap the plates to coax them over. so yeah, it is possible, but you will go through a lot more ammo then the center fire guys and run the risk of not completing the stage if you run out of ammo and magazines. but it's all for fun so why not give it a shot? you can enter multiple classes so bring your pistol too.

Welp, people have tried, and most gave up after a few stages.

Assuming this is the same as the previous knockdown, 22 is just too damn small to knock over the large poppers.

Damn!

Futey is Fast...

Thanks gentleman.

I emailed someone a while back and they never got back to me... have never shot steel or "practical" competitions before.

 

I want to shoot this with one of my stock shotguns (870 clone or 11-87, no mag extension tubes) but I don't have any equipment other than a shell bag for trap shooting. Do I need speed loaders to be able to play? Is there a par time?

 

 

 

I have no issues with having the worst times, I just want to at try this sport out!

No Par time, whatever you take you take. Squad with us to give us a break! Shell bag will work just fine. One important rule: If the ammo rolls-off the table or you drop it, it is out of play. If you bend down to pick it up, you are out of play. The shell bag will work just fine, ammo won't fall out of it.

Last time a couple guys were using pump shotguns. Takes time but who cares. It's all about having fun. I will definitely try is with the ksg one day.
