September Bang Ping

Postby selurcspi on Wed Sep 14, 2016 3:41 pm

Summer is over, Fall is just beginning, it's time to think about how to shoot in adverse conditions.
Cooler weather is going to make a great day of Bang Ping, so get your guns out and come and join us next Saturday September the 17th.

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)
NRA, MADFI, MN DNR, Certified Instructor

Sorry, can't make it. Doris and I will have to console ourselves with 4 day courses at Front Sight in a couple weeks.

Was on my way, and ended up having a " lost my pricey cell phone" moment. Yep....left it on the roof of my car when I left the house. Found it about a block away, cracked screen but still working. Wish I could have been there.
