Bang Ping Trois

Saturday is fast approaching and that means a Steel Shoot.

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

If you believe the TV weather forecasters, we should have a nice day... Maybe

Hydration, bring something to drink, it may be hot (or cold) so bring water or something else. (personally I don't consume caffeine when shooting it gives me the shakes)
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, Shooting will start at 9:30.
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.

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

Hope to be there. Won't know until Saturday morning. All depends what's going on with the wife.

I'm out, have fun everyone

[timwarner]

I want to come, but I got put back on OT saturday shift probably for the rest of the summer/fall... again.

So much for having time off during the nice weather.

[CarRacer]

I'm going and will be eager to see how my new M&P 9 does against steel.

Don't sweat it. There are a lot of friendly people that will help you in any way that you need. If you've never shot action pistol before, let Benny or China know and they will show you how to safely draw from a holster. If you don't have a holster, you can start from low ready. Try to have at least 4 magazines since having to reload during a stage can be a pain.

Is there anyone from the Maplewood area that I could carpool with? I'm willing to chip in for gas.

We'll be thin on the ground.

You know if you say that you'll wind up having 40 show up. I hope to be there.
