I guess you started the "FNS" thread.

Are they open late?

 

[chubbs]

Is there still a shotgun class at fns?

They are only open until 2200 hours on Friday. You need to get home early anyway to clean your m&p!

HA! I do that every 6 months or so. I cleaned it after last FNS. I'm good for awhile.

yes, there are folks who shoot shotguns

 

[chubbs]

How many rounds should I bring, I'm assuming most guys us 7 1/2 or 8 loads

I think 7 1/2 is correct. Somewhere around 125 if you don't miss

7 1/2 or 8 is fine. There are an average of 75 targets per evening so plan accordingly. I usually bring 100 rounds of 12ga with me when I shoot shotgun

Please correct me if I'm wrong here, but aren't shot gunners responsible for picking up their own hulls when us brass monkeys are picking up ours?

I'm hoping to make this one. But I'm not sure yet.
My birthday is Thursday. And I'm afraid my inlaws () may want to take me out Friday.

I'll think of something

Its now Official.

Shooters,
Our Friday Night Steel match will be this Friday, February 11th at 6 pm. We will have 5 challenging courses of fire. We will begin course setup at 5:00 pm, and we'll need help from volunteers. We will have sign-up at 5:15 pm and a shooters meeting at 6:00 pm to explain the rules and to form squads. At 6:15 pm sharp, we plan to begin shooting. We'll be charging $10 for club members and $15 for non-members, with all money going towards the club or new steel targets. Shoot an additional gun for only $10 with your first paid entry.
YOU MUST ATTEND THE SHOOTERS/SAFETY MEETING TO PARTICIPATE IN THE MATCH.
Sign-in will close at the start of the Shooters meeting.

Your help with setup is greatly appreciated. Please help tear down your last stage.

FNS is conducted under a COLD RANGE. That means all guns must be either holstered (or bagged) at all times, unloaded, hammer down, with no magazine inserted. You may only handle your gun at the direction of the range officer (RO), or in the designated "safe areas." You may not handle any ammunition or loaded magazines in the safe areas! Violation of these or any other safety rules shall result in a match disqualification.

* PLEASE TAKE NOTE *​

​

​

If you wondered where to purchase the Friday Nights Steel gear that some of the RO’s were wearing. You can now purchase Official Friday Night Steel shirts and hats at Café press

* PLEASE MAKE A NOTE AS THIS HAS CHANGED *​

​

5 magazines or speed loaders is now the minimum requirement. If you do not bring enough magazines to complete all of the strings of fire, you will receive the maximum time for the strings of fire that you were unable to complete. We will not allow shooters (or their friends) to load magazines at the shooting line in between strings of fire, as it slows down the shooting procedure for other competitors.

With our numbers continuing to grow we ask that everyone does their part to make the match run as smoothly as possible. Be ready when it is your time on the firing line. Help to reset the steel. Volunteer to keep score.
If you're new to competitive shooting, we encourage you to check out the following site. It shows upcoming shooting events for 3-gun, Action Pistol (Bianchi Cup), Bowling Pin Shooting, Cowboy Action Shooting (SASS), ICORE, IDPA, Multi-gun, Steel Challenge, and USPSA.

I have a few questions...

I am hoping to make next month's event and bring a friend. This will be both our first time in an event like this.

1) Are 5 mags required when shooting a gun that hold 15+ rounds?
2) What distance are the stages? (so we can practice a little before)
3) Can any one give a description of each stage?
4) from reading it seems as though you do each stage more than once?

I tried searching and i know i have read a description before, so i apologize. Links are welcome too.
