Friday Night Steel 9-12-08

[VUPDblue]

Sooooooooo, it's time again for Friday Night Steel at Marion County Fish and Game! Maybe we can get enough INGOers out this time to form a compete squad! (that's 8-10 shooters usually) I plan on RO'ing and so if you want to come out and shoot with some INGOers I'll be wearing my INGO hat with my nametag and avatar on the back (thanks again esrice) so I'll be easy to spot! Check out the website for rules and details. This is a very fun match and people of all skill levels will be represented. FNS is a great way to step into competitive shooting!

Steel at Marion County Fish and Game Association, Indianapolis, Indiana

I hereby challenge anyone who is willing to shoot a bolt action .22 rifle! I did it at RileyCC earlier today . . . it was fun!

 

[bigcraig]

I will be there.

 

[AllenM]

I will be there and bringing a friend

 

[40calPUNISHER]

I should be there. Im trying to get two of my buddies that have not done the FNS before to join us. Cant wait to see you all there.

Seeing that it's less than a mile from my Apartment I will try to make it down for some spectating (that's allowed right?)

 

[Slow Hand]

I'll try my best, I really need to get out and shoot some competition to burn off some stress! Should I bring the Barbie Gun?

Two questions. What class would a Hi Power be in? It's not single stack, but it is single action. Seems like I remeber that falling between several catagories. Second, what about a full size 1911 with a comp? It's an otherwise stock Springer Loaded model that I often carry, so it's not a 'race' gun,but does it fall under that genre because of the comp? It's no big deal to swap out barrels to make is mostly stock single stack. That might be the easy route.

`Thanks

The Hi-Power you would probably run in Production loaded to 10 rds.
1911 w/ comp would run in open class.
Someone correct me if I am wrong
here is more info:

If they're using USPSA rules for divisions/equipment, the Hi-Power could shoot in Limited, Limited-10 (only 10 rds in mag), or Open divisions. Single action guns are not allowed in Production Division.

The gun with the comp would be in Open Division only.

Does it cost anything to come and watch?

Not at all just bring your eye and ear protection.

 

[Emodude]

I will be there

 

[SavageEagle]

I'm going to try to make it. Ear protection gotcha. If I forget my Eye protection, I would be able to see my way there! LOL

 

[40calPUNISHER]

Looks like rain...

 

[SavageEagle]

rain or shine? I'm still down! I wont melt!

 

[jimbo-indy]

IHay, SLOW HAND, I'll bring my HP if you bring yours. I have used the HP in Limited 10 before. At previous meets, I have entered it under Single Stack and only loaded 8 rounds. Don't know if it is really legal but nobody protested. I am also bringing my 639 Smith which should be legal for Production but only has 8-9 round mags.
See you there.

Prince Caspian ... what do we do if it rains? Shoot from under the cover like the bowling pin matches?

Yes will shoot from under the lid. Although I am doing my Anti-rain dance as we speak.

 

[Fenway]

I might like to come and watch. Would it be possible for me to shoot the event with my off hand only? Anything in the rules about that? I can't use my trigger finger on my dominant hand because of recent surgery but can manipulate the gun fine. Just curious. Thanks!
