Friday Night Steel at Precision Gun Range in Spencer

[kevinsr98]

Had a fun night with seven strings under four seconds, with three of them under three seconds! Have to go again next week!

I have noticed when doing the scores that several of our regular shooters times have been getting better and better. For me, that's what it's all about. Having fun and getting better with your firearm!

I got a kick out of the first stage where we had "movement," getting to a second box to shoot.

Glad to see another program start up.

As one of the guys who started the FNS program at MCFG, I'm flattered to see another group of volunteers running with our idea, and making it a success. Nice job guys!

Couldn't make it on Friday the 13th. How did it go? It looked like good weather.

Are the steel match results posted anywhere else on INGO other than on this thread. I've been out twice on Friday night and haven't seen my name on any results sheets. Should probably put a date on the spreadsheet.

I was not at the 5/13 meet. That is the only one I have not seen posted here. PM Kevinsr89 and he can get the scores to you I bet. I find the emailed version a little more friendly anyway. You did write in your email address down when signing up, yes?
I'm hoping to make it tomorrow, 5/19, but the chance of rain is back up to 50%.

 

[BrokenAces]

Yes, provided email. Can't PM cause too new to INGO.

 

[EyeCarry]

Whoops, didn't see your post count! I had that problem too, at first. Hang in there and keep contributing (or pay and get there immediately as a site supporter)
I'll PM Kevinsr89 for you. I would like to see how everyone did as well even though I was not there.
I see that I posted the wrong date of 5/19 for this week's meet. Today is 5/20, duh. Still hoping for the weather to cooperate.

post the dates that you are missing, i have pm'd kevin.

4/1/16 was WAWomen.
4/15/16, 4/22/16, 5/6/16 have been posted.
That leaves 4/8, 4/29, 5/13. One of the April dates was rained out, I'm sure.
That leaves two and I am pretty sure 5/13 was ran as scheduled.
Obviously, Kevin has a work/home life. I appreciate his efforts here.

Yes it takes a lot of work to run a program. I learned from other seasoned shooters to take a pic of my score sheet at the end of the match. I'm looking for the shooting the next event.

I guess I will start taking snap shots if my score card if I can't see it here.

Well, we got another one in last night. Timing worked out weather-wise with only a slight drizzle as we were finishing up. Some familiar faces and some new faces as usual. The usual 4 stages, 4 strings. I'm pretty sure the setups were different on 3 stages. No movement this time and probably a good thing since it was wet.
Personally, I did marginally better by about 8 seconds for my total. Still working on picking up that darn front sight instead of the plate...
Thank you to all for picking up and putting away last night. I know PGR was short-handed last night.

Sorry if I missed it but are there directions to the range in Spencer? Address for google maps, etc...

Here you go:

Precision Gun Range
2278 Wood Drive
Spencer, IN 47460

It is about 1.5-2 miles south of the Rt 46 & Rt 43 Junction, at the top of the hill just east of McCormick's Creek Park.

There's a large sign on the left that marks where the range is, and it is a couple hundred yards off Rt 43.

Come on out and have fun!

I got there early and helped Steve set up the stages on the rifle range, while another group set up Stage One on the pistol range.
Later I did some of the score keeping and shot in all four stages. I was the last shooter, and it started to rain just as I walked
onto the range. We timed it almost perfectly.

Been too busy since, so I don't know how I did in the Shoot.

Coming from Columbus, it is the stoplight just before McCormick's Creek SP. There is a short, left turn lane to get into. The intersection is just past the archery shop on the left side of the road.

Are the scores up from 5/20?
I noticed that PGR has a new website up. Looks good but I got a "bad certificate" warning when I went there.

 

[gregkl]

I know, I'm behind the times but I don't use Facebook. And when I tried to access the .net website, my security software flagged it.

How do I get a schedule of shoots there? I have been looking for a range that is somewhat close and this fits the bill! I'm heading to Freetown tomorrow to try out steel shooting but it would be even better to find a place closer to home.

 

[EyeCarry]

Facegook...me neither, no thanks.
I had the same flag come up on the new website but it sure looks nicer than the old one. They are running the Friday night steels every week at 6pm as weather allows (Did I say Friday?). Come on out. They will start using Practiscore soon and scores should be up faster.
For other events or before going to practice, give them a call to be sure of events and to avoid getting there and being disappointed that you can't rent a stall due to a scheduled event.
