June Bang Ping in 6 days

View · by **selurcspi** on Sun Jun 15, 2014 11:06 am

It is June already and in just a week that days will start getting shorter again. Also the June Steel Shoot is next Saturday 21st of June, the solstice.

The weather may or may not be Warm, Wet, Dry, Sunny, Overcast, but we'll shoot anyway.

OK. What's needed? Just like the Second rule of gunfights states......Bring a Gun!...... 9mm, .38, 41, 44, 45, will do the job.

Holster, not needed for a Tyro, but you cannot shoot Man v Man without one. The trigger MUST be covered. Mag carriers are a big help, also we recommend you bring 4 magazines. If you don't have sufficient magazines, bring a friend with an Uplula.

Round count, in a perfect world 100 would suffice. If you have the slightest idea you might miss, bring more....lots more. I don't miss much but I still bring 200

Hearing protection, if you want to be able to talk with your grandkids bring it, learning sign language at 50 isn't easy.

Eye Protection, good quality sunglasses, safety glasses or prescription glasses are MANDATORY, they should wrap around the side or have side panels.
Think of your shooting glasses as your American Express Card, don't leave home without them. We're shooting at Steel, bullets shatter, pieces of them bounce, PROTECT YOUR EYES.

Clothes...This is Minnesota, bring snow clothes, rain gear, sunscreen, shorts....you get the picture...be a boy scout.

Hydration, bring something to drink, it may be hot (or cold) so bring water or something else (non-Alcoholic).

Food, the town is six miles from the range and there are no facilities on site, bring some lunch, you might get hungry otherwise.

Start Time, Setup will be at 8:30, Safety Briefing will start at 9:30, if you are not there for the safety briefing, I'm sorry but you will not be able to shoot the match.

COF, Four stages, each of 4 strings with the best three times to count. The winner will be the one with the lowest total time for the 12 runs.

Man v Man to follow the regular match.

$15 for Non Members, $10 for Members. (Gopher Campfire Club Members)

So close, yet so far away. I'll be about 30 miles away at a wedding. Have fun everyone!

Thanks.

We will bring the lost and found with us, but I think we're going to leave it on the range at the end of the day.

Close enough to sneak away ;-)

So MarkL how did you finish? It appeared that a lot of us were "purposely missing" to help you out
