The Ultimate 2013 Bang Ping

Saturday 10-19

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.
Who knows what the weather will be like, the forecast changes from day to day. As it's October, bring clothes for Rain, Snow and sunshine.

Hydration, bring something to drink, it may be hot (or cold) so bring water or something else.
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, 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)

The little Crow Gun Store has reloading stuff, it might be worth a visit.

Like most of this summer I won't be able to be there... I feel for all those that haven't practices their weak hand shooting though.

I'm getting my hip replaced on Thursday, so I might not make it.

That was poor planning, you need to reschedule the surgery....

Good luck with the op and the rehab Pat.

Trying to see if anyone will join me in making the trip over from Morris. After missing the last 3gun match and having to cancel our pistol match last weekend I'm Jonesing to get out for a little friendly competition. Plus it's always nice to meet more forum members face to face.

How will the steel get painted now?

Good luck with the surgery!

Sounds kind of interesting.
What kind of distance and how big of targets are being used.

Class? We got no class here.

Seriously, it's a "run what ya brung" type of setup. So, you'll be competing directly against selurcspi and his tricked out race gun for bragging rights.
