Friday Night Steel at MCF&G

[GNRPowdeR]

I'm in, weather permitting. I'm probably going to shoot the SR9, but the GSG 1911 (.22) and my new Glock 19 are tempting me.

All great choices! I'm bringing my new M&P 9mm, fresh from a phylodog stippling. Excited to get some rounds down range from this thing!

How long does the FNS event take?? If I had to leave just after 8PM, is it worth me even coming? Is it like bowling pins where you keep knocking each other out, or a set schedule against the clock and you need to stay until 10PM?

I'm looking forward to checking out that stippling. Sounds like a nice setup!

I was at the range this week for the first time with Churchmouse. That is a really nice range. I have never shot steel before at an organized shoot like this. Is it timed? What are the distances. Basically how does it work?

 

[Cameramonkey]

There's an alternate covered shooting line... No wet monkeys...

Good. We stink when we get wet.

Set distance of around 45 ft. Against a clock. Registration card has a Class determination, depending on what firearm you're using & it's mods.

We'll have 5 Stages & shoot each stage 3 times in a row. You're probably gonna want 4 - 5 mags if shooting pistol... Just Sayin... Expect it to be around 100 hits, so I try bringing dbl that. (more, if it's a new firearm / new shooter)

Depending on how many shooters there is it could be close to 10pm before where done shooting and putting up all the steel target. In April I don't think we got down till after 9pm.

Thats how I like my monkeys!

Keep in mind if we shoot from under cover that it can get quite loud and ear plugs plus muffs are a good idea.

OK, I might be making an appearance with one youth & a sis. Please refrain from crowding the celebrity and keep the paparazzi's at bay. IF HEAVY rain, may stay home so not to get hair wet.....

I so want to go but I have a leadership meeting at 7:00 PM in Elkhart. Guns, shooting steel and a range full of INGO members. That is a great night opportunity. I will have to plan to be at another but it will require an overnight stay, 3 1/2 drive home is too late after the shoot.

[singlesix]

Yes ROs can shoot.

If I end up going, I would really like to see that! I'll be carrying a black backpack that is also a seat.

 

[rala]

Not this time- I'm camping with my Scouts. - you think wet monkeys stink? You should try a couple of tents worth of 12 year olds.

 

[cbhausen]

I might actually make it out tonight for the first time in a few years. Does everyone still invade BWW in Speedway afterward?

 

[Tanfodude]

Feels good to be back. I need to start jacking off with my weak hand. Couldn't hit **** with it. Thanks for the match guys!!!

 

[Mad Macs]

Great match! Not my fastest times, but definitely more consistent. Although having to re-attach my grips 2-3 times got a bit old. Need to dig out my loctite.
