Just a Reminder, Another Steel Shoot on 8/25

[DaveA]

The steel shoot is usually pistol only (they are heavy enough as it is) but when the steel shoot is over the shooting is not.

Bring what ya want to shoot and some to share if you're feeling generous Benny let me pop off the Brown Bess at one of the shoots which was a unique experience and I've been able to try a number of things that I suddenly found I couldn't live without and had to go buy. After the last shoot I ended up with an Eotech, if someone brings a Sig 239 to this one I'm done for.

Pistol only, or is the steel thick enough to withstand .223 rounds? If so, I might bring out a carbine to play with as well.

No - I dont think that would be a good idea - but Selurcspi could elaborate as they are "his" targets.

(.223 puts nice dents in 3/8" high hard Armor Plate shooting M193 .... I dont know that these plates could take it or what the origin of the steel is - therefore likely a bad idea. )

I'm in. Got the greenlight. Will be the first time. Can't wait.

Couple of us newbies have a few questions:

1.) Are we right to assume about 150 rounds of ammo is needed for the shoot itself, but that we'll have an opportunity for some other range time for fun afterwards?

2.) Is it o.k. to bring some supplies, e.g., a cooler with some pop, water, snacks and maybe some sandwiches, in the same way I'd do for a bird hunt? These things usually last the entire day right? Is there some fast food place close by?

3.) I want to be sure to get in on the "holster lesson" that I'm told one of the elders teaches for about 15 minutes before the shoot starts. What time do we have to arrive to get in on that?

4.) Are we on rain or shine?

Thanks,

Yes.

Yes again

I am sure Selurpsci will chime in but I believe that if you are there by about 10:15 you should be good.

4.) Are we on rain or shine?

Don't know the answer to that one.

Much as I hate to disagree with JAC714 (I'm not really), you could shoot more that 150 but that depends on you. 96 rounds is the "Perfect" shot count, shoot more at your own discretion, I think Baby Brit did about 200 the first time. I know Brit's eyes were clicking dollar amounts like a Gas Pump)

2.) Is it o.k. to bring some supplies, e.g., a cooler with some pop, water, snacks and maybe some sandwiches, in the same way I'd do for a bird hunt? These things usually last the entire day right? Is there some fast food place close by?

Please do, make sure you're hydrated and fed, as there will not be anything available on-site

3.) I want to be sure to get in on the "holster lesson" that I'm told one of the elders teaches for about 15 minutes before the shoot starts. What time do we have to arrive to get in on that?

I cover the holster basics in about 15 to 30 minutes (depending on the number that need it)

4.) Are we on rain or shine?

Thanks,

As far as I'm concerned Yes, but according to the weatherman on Ch9 this rain should be over by then.



To answer an earlier question, we will not be shooting long guns at steel. Please bring suitable targets for extra curricular shooting.

How long does this thing run?

Thinking of bringing the wife, but she won't stand for an all day deal I don't think. Just need to know what to expect...

If she comes, there will not be 1, but *TWO* P239s there (one in DA/SA and one in DAK)

Previously about 3 to 4 hours for the formal shooting and another hour or so to empty brass and smell gunsmoke!!!!
