If you don't have a BUG gun, you are welcome to use your regular rig. 

I don't want to sound stupid but, what is a BUG gun?

Note that all loading devices will be limited to 5 rounds and stages are 15 rounds IIRC, so plan accordingly.

This is the same day as CJRPC USPSA match. Doh....

It always was and it always will be....not enough Sundays in a month, lol!

Soooo....anybody have any 9mm Shield mags I could borrow?

If it was a Beretta Nano I'd say yes.....

 

You only need 3 mags I think....

I think you're right but, alas, I only have two.

New info:

 

There will be a shotgun side match 15-20 rounds, you can shoot it more than once. Birdshot only

Damn it.... I want to shoot both.

 

Was going to shoot a BUG match with my Makarov. 

You should have!

 

Nice Nick looks like a fun match. Is there an idpa in old bridge every month

Looks pretty good Nick!  Sorry you had issues with the hand gun, but the Shotty looked really smooth!  And thanks for the ride on the Shotty!

Old Bridge IDPA is every 2nd Sunday of the month.

I was prepared for that to happen.  I was using 115gr S&B ammo.  The Nano's a bit picky with the ammo it eats.  It likes hotter rounds and 124gr+ bullets.

 

I'll process through the videos and get yours up, Rosie.

Nice!!

It was a fun match. My first experience with a BUG match. Ended up shooting my Kahr MK9. Considering that I hadn't touched the gun in at least 6 years, and just grabbed it out of the safe, literally on the way out the door, I can't complain. Only one minor hiccup with the gun (failure to go completely into battery) that was quickly & easily remedied, it ran flawlessly. The operator, not so much. I was pleased in cleaning the swinger stage, but, overall, Rosey beat me by two positions. You gotta be careful of us old farts.

 

Adios,

looks like lots of fun! I just found a reason to get myself a tiny 9 mm pistol

Bob,

 

Yes you most certainly DO, lol!  Pleasure shooting with you yesterday!  You'll certainly get a "kick" outta this:

 

On the second run of my swinger stage I must have limp-wristed my .45 on the shot right before the swinger.  So I'm looking at the slide 1/2 back, round in the gun, jiggle gun, round falls out of gun and rolls off the fricken table, take a 5-down for the miss since I didn't have a 3rd mag loaded at that point. :wild: .  Other than that and hitting the black paper twice (hard cover) on the "sleeping stage" I thought I did rather well for not having touched that Officer's .45 in probably 1/2 decade.  The webbing in my shooting hand is a little raw today since the Colt is outta-da-box and lacks a beaver-tail.  But all-in-all I'm quite happy!  The last time I did a BUG Match, there was a strong-hand only stage (or two) where you have multiple Bad Guys.  You should have seen all of the misses THEN (from folks who don't miss), and some were up-close!  So yesterday's Match was just a little easier.

 

One of these days I'll have to try a low-light Match with a mini-mag in my mouth, lol!

Unfortunately I didn't get video of that one....

This looks interesting. I will definitely try to get out for the next one.

Too bad Nick!  And oh, is my award-winning (don't screw-up like I did) video coming out of post-production any time soon?  LOL!  I don't even remember which stage you videotaped me at.

Hopefully will have it ready for tonight

LV always says "Don't piss off old dudes, cause they will just f'n kill you!"    I heed his warning!     Some OF's I have shot with are deadly!

Here you go, Rosie.

 

Here you go, Rosie.

 

 

Thanks Nick!  I'm not blazin' fast, just smooth enough and accurate enough to come in 3rd!  And for never having picked-up your shotty before, I got the first 5 shots out fairly fast w/o a miss, then started droppin' rounds on the ground during the reload.  My times would improve if I practiced loading more with a Remmy BEFORE a Match, lol!  But still not bad.

 

First time I ever had video of me.  Thanks for the time & effort!

 

Rosey

Just wondering who's RO in the video and why does he keep his hand up the whole time

In case the power of that .45 knocks rosey over and he rolls off the table.

Best quote of the thread thus far, lol!

 

Mickey, in answer to your question, I guess it's just his style.  I never felt his hand touch me, so it really doesn't matter.  He's a volunteer SO (Safety Officer) and an over-all Good Guy, so let it just "stay there"...

Lol Alec. Rosey I wasn't complaining I was just curious if there was some kind of rule thing. I have never shot Idpa I have RO steel and sometimes a gun will fling lead right at me I was thinking he was protecting from that. Maybe August I will get out to try Idpa
