Futey, you bringing the double diamond?

Oh yeah. Version 2.0 is all sorted and running.

I'm in! I really like the run and gun stage they put on the 50 yard pit. Put a muzzle brake on the Saiga-12, looks cool, bad-azz, and goofy all at the same time! Won't help me, most likely, but makes it look bad, like Ray Rays hair!

 

Will also have the trusty CX4.

 

Maybe the wifey will bring the 92FS out for a spin again. She can't do the run and gun stage, just had foot surgery, but can do the rest.

 

Think you'll do the mag well eventually too? That looks like a cool addition.

That mags i can do but get yer own damn ammo!

 

Fiiine, I'll bring my 10/22 and officially put you in your place.

Fiiine, I'll bring my 10/22 and officially put you in *FIRST* place.

Thanks buddy! I know i can always count on your support.

I see what you did there. lol

 

I'd love to be there but can only shoot one of the two days this weekend and I think we're going to shoot USPSA on Sunday. Less bending over picking up steel...

Few questions - pistol caliber carbines are ok right? Are you drawing out of a holster or from a table? About how much ammo are you going through for the day? Do you have to preregister or is it day of? And I think that's it..

Gun is good, low ready is good, max 10 rounds per mag so bring a bunch. Not sure how many stages will be up but 5 or 6 with 30 or more targets per stage so bring plenty, worst that happens is you take what you don't shoot home.

I am a complete newbie, so take this fwiw. Last week at the steel match I shot 6 rounds for each 5 targets. So if we have 6 stages of 30, that is 180 targets. Using my number above, that Makes 216 rounds. I am rounding up to 225 per gun.

 

I am bringing my cx4 and 92fs and 450 rounds. I hope that is enough.

We have old man pick up sticks for the low lying steel if that makes any difference.

Worked on my trigger pull tonight. Gotta love belonging to a hole in the wall club. Shot for 3 hours. Sent 250 rounds down range. $14.

Comparing static steel to knockdown isn't quite accurate.

 

Static is a speed game, you have these big honkin' plates, some 18x24 at 10 -20 yards, not THAT hard to miss.

 

Knockdown uses much smaller targets at varying distances, some of the smallest targets are probably no bigger then a large soft ball. But most range in the size if 8" - 10" . Various shapes , sizes, and distances. But you have alot of large targets as well, it's a fun day.

 

Check out this video I put together a while ago of knockdown steel

 

 

So do I need more ammo? Like I said, I am a complete newbie.

Don't over think it, bring 250-300 rounds of ammo should be fine, you can always bring extra home, but if you run out before the end of the day you won't be too happy.

 

I plan on bringing 300 rds of 38spl. Hopefully I have something to bring home at the end of the day ! Ha

Then I need more. Nbd. Time to dig into the safe.

By all means, 225 may be plenty - i'm not trying to get you to go out and buy more ammo or anything.

 

225 might suffice, it might not, some people never ever ever ever miss, some guys take 2-3 shots to hit what they are aiming at sometimes, It all comes down to skill level and what you feel comfertable packing for the day.

I am bringing more. You give good, free advice. Can't ask for much more than that. Like you said, I can always bring it home.

 

I am so pumped for this.

No problem, also - the following day ( sunday ) Is USPSA @ CJRPC, much different then any steel match, but another extremly fun discipline for you to get hooked on.

I know, but don't think I am ready for that one. Bringing Another new guy, but experienced shooter, to the 1/20 event.

I usally bring 250 to a match it might be a pain but it is better then not having enough you just have to schlep it back home. If someone is shooting your caliber and has extra they might let you borrow but I would just bring more then I need and take extra home. Most times I go with a full box of each caliber. You also have to remember you need to have fuller at te start of the last stage and you wil usally have 10 or 15 rounds left when that stage is over

Does Old Bridge allow Motorcycles? It is going to be way too nice to not ride Saturday.

 

I ask because Central Jersey had a no MC sign at the entrance.

Yes they allow MC's..

 

Is the Sign really at CJ for Steet Bikes or is that so people don't ride dirt Bikes on the property?

I've seen no such sign at OBRPC, and i've seen people ride in on bikes before in the past.

 

Ask harry, he should know

I wanna shot this event real bad.

Was there another question Alec??

I wanna shot this event real bad.

 

Then get out there and shoot it...

Saturday: 57 degrees / 20% chance of Rain.

 

It'll be a day not to miss, wayyy to nice for January.

The sign was at the gate. Maybe it is just one of those CYA things. Lots of those gates have no walking no MC signs. Probably that.

If you are shooting 9mm from a handgun, sometimes the larger targets need a second follow-up shot if you don't hit them high. They will start to tip backwards and then come-back. If you are a good shot and hit them high, it is no problem. Never saw a problem from a carbine, unless it was a .22, then at times the large targets can take ten shots to push them over. Makes for a fun time shooting, and watching the person doing the shooting, right Jon?

 

Oh, and don't try 3/4oz #9 shot from a shotgun, not enough poop!

Hey, that first shooter in the video was awesome, why didn't you give him his proper due and show the entire stage?

 

Also got to see the whacky mohawk in action, what was that, like 10 years ago?

 

Saiga-12 looked good didn't it.

Is 115gr 9mm ok or do you need heavier bullets to knock down targets?
