May Bang Ping

[selurcspi]

May is here, the Steel Shoot is a few days away, Saturday 17th of May.

If you believe the weather Liars, Saturday will be in the low 60s with sunshine and cloudy periods bring what you need to survive.

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)

My anniversary but I will be there - with her blessing of course. 45 years, too late to change now

Big thanks to Benny, China and everyone else making a noobs day a great one. Had a blast! Got a lot of helpful tips, hope I can remember them all. Felt I improved as the day went on with moments of total panic and failure in man vs man and loved every minute of it. Was great meeting everyone, can't wait until the next one.
