Friday Night Steel 11-14-08

[ashylarry]

Bring along a firearm and get involved. It is a really good time.

What firearms are recommended or commonly used? I only have 1 mag for my carry gun because they are around $35 each.


A video would nice, if anyone has one.

about anything

The guys are using about anything lately. Wheel guns, pistols, rifles. I have seen .22,.40,9mm, 38, whatever is cheap and they have a lot of. Some of the guns there last week were 45's. 10/22, glocks and so on. I had taken out a GSG-5. You do need 5 mags or speedloaders though

Is it like this? Or more stationary?

I am almost done with my 9mm AR build and have a ceiner kit for my other AR. Would either of those work?

 

[slacker]

Yup, you could shoot either one for friday night steel. just remember that you cannot shoot the 9mm AR during normal range hours.

Really? I saw someone shooting one the last two times I was out there.

the "pistol caliber carbines" are not allowed during normal range operation, however they are fine for use under the supervision of a range officer at a friday night steel event.

5.15.1.3 Marion County Fish and Game allows the sighting in of rifles in the calibers of 38 special, 357 magnum, 44 special, and 44 magnum, provided that the rifles are fired from a bench rest at paper targets

The above cartridges are allowed since they are Indiana legal for hunting.

Nick, if you are ever out there and you see that, please get their member number (should be on the sign-in sheet) and either email a board member, or, at the very least, PM me.

 

[esrice]

Or walk toward them pointing your gun at them and yelling "DROP YOUR WEAPON!!"

The video you posted is an IDPA match. Friday Night Steel has no movement; you stand in one place and shoot the steel with one shooter from each squad on a common firing line at the same time.

Next time I see him there I will confirm that it is a 9mm AR. I am 99.9% sure it was though. Looked just like what I am building. I was going to go talk to him about it last time I was there but got busy.

How will I know who he is and what his member number is? I have only had to sign in once since going there. Every other time they just punched my card.

Hmmm, after reading this, I think you mean Eagle Creek range. FNS is put-on at Marion County Fish and Game.
