SCSA at ACC this Saturday?

[patricktjms]

I was waiting on a thread but I will go ahead and ask. I would like to get my feet wet and make a fool of myself soon.

I doubt anyone has an answer in 3 hours. It is scheduled and the weather looks good. Im sure Eric will be along eventually to confirm.

Unfortunately with this Eric runs it so he is probably the only person who can yes 100%.

There will be a match unless boats are required

I talked to Eric monday night rain and flooding was his only concern

How many stages does ACC set up to steel challenge specs VS home grown stages?
Thanks Brian

In the past I know he had 2 official stages and 3 unofficial stages. He would just rotate the official stages.

Good for a first time competitor? Ive been making the threat to shoot a competition for a couple months now.

Very much so. Bring your gear, show up and tell Eric and gang your new. You won't regret it. Be safe and have fun.

Great for a first time competitor. There will be 5 stages setup. If any require you to move it will most likely be limited to one of the stages and it will be very limited movement. Most stages will be stand and shot. There will be several steel targets setup and usually one of them is designated as a "stop" plate. That being, you shot it last and your time stops. You get to shoot each stage 5 times and they drop your lowest time.

Round count is usually right around 125. (5 shots per string, 5 strings per stage, 5 stages)
It is best practice to have enough mags loaded to shoot all 5 strings. New shooters are always welcome and they will work with you.

Indeed, "What everybody else said" . . . I think you guys have answered everything.

As Mongo said, I am wondering if the additional rain we get today will affect the range on Saturday. The ground in the area already is saturated.

Anybody live close to the range to take a look Friday afternoon ???

The 2 SCSA stages that are up in rotation are SHOWDOWN and 5 TO GO. The other three will be PLATES (imagine that !!!) and two stages that will be LIMITED TO 5 SHOTS AT THE 5 TARGETS. 4 strings, and all 4 count (just on those two stages...) Different, to be sure, and I hope interesting and challenging.

Saturday itself is supposed to be PERFECT (sunny and 50*) but it all depends on the rain today and tomorrow. Final decision Friday night...

Thanks all !!!

I'll be interested to hear what the range condition is; it's a muddy mess here in Indy.

The match is CANCELLED. We have been flooded out . . .

The barn is under 3 feet of water. (11am 19AP2013)

I can still see the tops of the "gunports" (carport sun/rain shades), though. I will post a pitcure I gor from Officer J.T. once I fund a host for it.

Umm, keep yer powder dry . . .
