Friday Night Steel

[DaKruiser]

i dont work friday night. new to the forum and would like to do some sort of (competitive shooting) any idea on distance from lafayette?

About 58.4 miles and one hour and eight min.

You should try it if you have the time, FNS is a great event with awesome people!

I don't think I'm going to be able to make it; I've got a work meeting by Kokomo at 3 pm... Looks like Lars may get another Limited win!

I plan to attend my "FIRST" FNS event, I've looked at the website and still have a question. 1.I plan on bringing a cz 75b however, I only have 2 mags at this time, will this be a problem?
From what i've gathered it won't be an issue IF I can hit the steel, and just wanna have a good time. Limited class?

there are three strings of fire per stage. usually 5 rounds per string. You need enough mags/rounds to complete the course of fire, without reloading at the firing line. If you run out of ammo you will be given the maximum time for each string you cannot complete. For most pistols that means 3 mags minimum.

You could post and see if someone can loan you a mag or two for the evening. Most people will be more than happy to help if they can.

do to the number of shooters and the time constraints we can not allow shooters to reload mags at the line.

I am referencing rule #5

EDIT: just to make sure I don't confuse you you can change mags you just can't load them at the firing line while it is your turn to shoot.

If you load more than 10 rounds it will place you in the Limited Class. Yes come out and have a good time, and as suggested let us know what caliber you are shooting and maybe someone has a few mags you can borrow.

First timers

Myself and one other will be down from Hamilton County Fish & Game. We're both first timers to FNS. Looking forward to shooting steel and visiting your club.

If the weather forecast holds, I see one gun only due to the number of shooters. Yeah, I'd like to just shoot and eat also.

What to Bring?

I have not been to a FNS... How much is it for non-members of MCFG? And what gun to bring? The MarkIII or the XD? or the 870 HD? Not sure...

You can bring whatever you would like to shoot. I've see a few people shoot a shotgun, but not many. You'll find a lot of people shooting Mark II/III and other pistol caliber handguns. The fee for non-members is $10 per gun and a $5 guest membership.

Shoot fast and straight boys.
