July Revolver Bang Ping

View · by **selurcspi** on Mon Jul 07, 2014 4:08 pm

This month the match is a week early and I almost forgot to post. The July Steel Shoot is next Saturday 12th of July.

The weather may or may not be Warm, Wet, Dry, Sunny, Overcast, Who knows what we'll get, we'll just shoot.

OK. What's needed? Just like the Second rule of gunfights states......Bring a Revolver!...... 9mm, .38, 41, 44, 45, will do the job. Yes Virginia, they do make 9mm revolvers.
Autoloader shooters can still come and play, but we'll ask you to only load 6 rounds in the gun at any given time. This is a great reason to convince your better half that you need to add a revolver to the collection.

Holster, not needed for a Tyro, but you cannot shoot Man v Man without one. The trigger MUST be covered. Ammunition carriers are a big help, Speed loaders, speed strips or moon clips keep the day moving, but you can load loose ammunition if you need to.

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 This month we will split the M v M into two groups, the autoloaders and the Men's group (Pat won't let me live this down).

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

Thanks for the update, Benny, I was just looking to double-check that it was this week.

Anybody looking for a ride or a rider? I just did the math and realized I spend more on gas than on match fees. I'm in South Minneapolis near Lake Nokomis.

There was a limited release but not in mass. So I guess they're out there, but there will only be a total 3000 released in the first series. And the Performance Center is holding up a majority of them right now.
