Friday Night Steel question

[Naptown]

Easy one - I saw you should bring 5 mags to FNS. I understand for my Buckmark 5 mags would probably be necessary. What about shooting my XDm 9 that holds 19 in the mags? Would I still need 5 mags? I just ordered some online, so it doesn't matter either way - I'm just curious. I'm going next month for the 1st time and bringing at least 2 friends. I've read the numbers have been up!

If you are planning to shoot in either the Production or Limited 10 division, you can't load more than 10 rounds per mag.

I think they require five mags regardless, but last time there was a guy there in your shoes and they made him enter limited so he could load the mags to capacity.... maybe someone else can comment on this.... if you run out of ammo though you take max time on the rest of the strings of fire. how many 19 round mags do you have?

 

[Naptown]

how many 19 round mags do you have?

right now, I have 3 (19 rounders). I just ordered 3 more yesterday that I will have by then. I just don't know the play book out there of how you shoot. I didn't even realize the different classes. I thought the different calibers determined the class. I'm learning.

come 1 time and you will figure things out pretty quick... i promise you will not be disapointed. although i dont anticipate you placing anything but last..... not a knock on your skill by why would you want to bring an xd to a gunfight?
just playing... hope to see you there.

my xdm 9 is cheaper to shoot than my G23. I think I'll be using a buckmark. Is that a pretty competitive class? I can't afford to shoot much else!

People there are nice and if you ask they might even load a mag for you while you shoot.

There are always a few guys with .22lr semis. Makes me jealous that they spend more on the entrance fee than on ammo. lol It's a pretty competitive class but in a good way. The guys there can really shoot but aren't snobby about it.

You should be ok with 3 mags. I only used a couple of rounds from a 4th mag during a particularly bad stage of shooting on my part.

Have fun and good luck. It's a great way to spend a Friday night.

bring both, you'll have a good time. I'm curious to see some XDm 9's in action.

we're nice, but they won't let you do it. I made the mistake of walking up to the line a mag short, and couldn't grab another once I started shooting.... had six loaded mags sittin on my bag.

So many people, so many stages, gotta keep moving.

And then a B-Dub's I remember hearing something about you wishing I was shooting the XDM because you wanted to give it a try.....

I still admit that I wanna try one, not hiding it

Repair is the .22

Anytime I see either of these guys they go to pulling out 6 or 8 new toys to make me jealous.

 

[Simon6101]

Never

I have never posted Pics of my .22 collection because it would take 2 long. Repair might have the AR22's tied up but I have the handgun and rifle section locked in. I have only let the guys at FNS see a portion of my toys. Shooter521 can vouch for the amount of .22's I have. I also have the market cornered on ammo. I am approaching 50,000 rds stored. may not be deadly but it will be a while before I ever run out.
