Attention Announcing the First Bang Ping of 2016

The First Bang Ping of 2016

April is all but upon us, there are 4 days to the first Steel Shoot so I wanted to wake everyone up and get all of you thinking about shooting steel again this year.

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.

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.

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

Trigger finger is getting itchy. Also bringing OldmanFCSA to give Pat Canon another wheel gun shooter.

They are forecasting 70's and Sunny. I hope the weather man is right

Of course the first EVER nice April shoot and I have to miss it. Mother in law's funeral is that day. 92 and healthy until the last month and had a good life. Celebrating her life as apposed to her passing.

Tony, Thanks for posting the reminder.

[usnret]

No problem

[Ron Burgundy]

I can't make it. I'm disappointed because I wanted to try out my revolver before the steel gets moved far enough away I can't hit it.

[Drizzle]

Planning to be there.

[Jack's My dog]

Going to miss this one. Have fun!

Tony, Thanks for posting the reminder.

I think China spells that differently.

Tony, Thanks for posting the reminder.

I think China spells that differently.

She never was any good at spelling.

[mrgoodwrench1985]

Ill be there

[mrgoodwrench1985]

Thanks to everyone for a great shoot

[BigDog58]

Thanks to Benny and all the guys that were RO's for a great shoot. We had a very good turnout, some superb shooting ( I wasn't one of those superb shooters) and very nice weather.

Hopefully China will be back next month, to straighten us out

I couldn't stay for the Man v Man but had a great time shooting and meeting everyone. Had multiple BS excuses for my missed but I'll blame it on the distracting John Deere that kept driving by...
