June 10 Friday Night Steel

[Cru]

Who’s in this time kids? It’s kind of nice having it every other week!

 

[HobbyGuy]

Can you give me some details? My son wants to go to Indy for a concert that night. I'm pretty sure that I am too old for it. Although if I drop off him and his friends, I might be able to make it for a little shooting. So what's the scoop?

^^^ Has all the details ^^^

FNS is a friendly competition shoot where you will shoot 5 stages of steel targets for time.

You can run pistol, pistol caliber rifles, or shotgun. You will need at LEAST 3 magazines, but 4 or 5 is better. Eye/ear protection and a holster/bag/case.

If you’ve never shot competition before, it’s a fun way to try it out as it’s not a cut throat competition (for most) everyone has a good time and it’s a lot of fun.

$15 if you are not a member of MCFG and $10 if you are.

Sadly that is before the concert starts. I won't be able to make it. Hope you all have a great time!

You take the record for earliest FNS thread. Well, this will give us plenty of time to [strike]argue [/strike], I mean discuss, the location of the after party.

In if I can get my Ruger fixed by then. Awe heck if it isn't fixed I'll shoot the M&P. Look forward to trying some higher speed .22 ammo on the plate rack so I don't have to hit each plate 3 times...Or miss it than hit, miss, miss, hit, hit. You get the idea.

 

[singlesix]

Well, I'll know Friday if I can shoot that night. Job is getting a bit out of control. It is that time of year I guess.

It's official!

Our Friday Night Steel match will be this Friday, June 10th 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-in from 5:15 pm until 6:00 pm and a shooters meeting immediately afterwards to explain the rules and to form squads. You must be in-line by 6:00 pm and you must attend the Shooter's Meeting in order to shoot; if you are late you will not be allowed to shoot. 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.

For more info, please check out our website at:

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.

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 with setup. Help to reset the steel. Volunteer to keep score. Help tear down your stage at the end of the match.

If you have any questions, let me know.

Sincerely,
Chuck

Can't make it this Friday, traipsing the Bourbon Trail instead...which all-in-all is a decent substitute! Sure glad we can do this twice a month, though!

Assuming there is isn't a raging thunderstorm, I'll be there. My first one was the one on May 13. Had a blast. I can really only do one a month. I will try to get there early to help set up.

By the way, can bi-metal jacket ammo like the 9mm steel cased Tula be used?

I have other standard copper jacket ammo to use, just wondered since I have a bunch of the cheap russian stuff. I would think the jacket is just about as soft as the standard copper jacket bullets, and the bi-metal jacket ammo still has a lead core. Just don't want to get in trouble if some sparks fly or something...any thoughts?

If in doubt, I will just bring my Blazer and Federal ammo...don't want to damage the clubs steel.

We'll be haul'n to get there on time, so hold the door as we barrel thru.........

I can't speak for every brand of ammo, but anything that damages our targets would be immediately banned from the competition.

I'm going to sport the AR with the 22 conversion again. Unless a family issue comes up I'll be there and I would like to try my hand at RO'ing. I "shadowed" last time. If an experienced RO would agree to be in my group to help oversee I'm fairly confident I could step up. Up to you guys but I just can't show up and not help any way I can. If I get to RO I'll just shoot one gun but if not and a second gun is an option I'll shoot my pistol as a second.

Work overloading everything Everyone enjoy and be safe.

 

[Don Parks]

I plan on being there, FNS is always a great time.

 

[Fishersjohn48]

Well I function checked the Ruger and apparantly I am not a gunsmith. Still not working properly so it looks like the M&P this time. Thankfully my 3 new mag's from Botach showed up yesterday so I am GTG.

The wife and I enjoy the May 27th match. So I believe we will be there on the 10th. Question though, when will the scores from the 27th be posted?
