September Steel Shoot

View · by **selurcspi** on Mon Sep 10, 2012 6:17 am

So here we are, the penultimate Steel Shoot of 2012, only two more chances to be entered in the drawing for the gun. The September shoot will be on Saturday 9/15, which is this coming Saturday.

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 warm sunny day... Maybe

Hydration, Bring some.
Food, We’re six miles from town, you’ll need to eat.

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)

I would like to check out a steel shoot. Is this a club thing or can anyone come?

They're pretty friendly to FNG's. The OP pretty much covers everything you'll need but be careful with directions. If you follow your GPS to Gopher Campfire you will end up in the wrong spot. Someone else posted lat and long a little while ago. I will look for it and edit this post if I find it.

BTW, I'm in.

ETA: found it.

End time depends on how many folks show up: between about 1PM and 5PM.

It is a very exclusive club; if you show up you are in it.

I am coming home from a work trip early, partially to make this, and to break in my new 1911 :twisted:
