Hi everybody;
We had another good shoot last night.
I even sneaked in and tried my hand at shooting before we officially started, I haven't shot in weeks and it's only the second time that I have fired my Ruger Lite.

James Hamilton took first place with a 259-1x, .22cal.
Robert Combs was second with 236, .22cal.
James Hamilton also took third with a 198-1x, .38 special
Donn Sherwood was 4th with 161, .22cal.
Matt Williams took the 5th place with 159, .22cal.
Wallace Pulley was 6th with 154, .357 Mag.
Rob Voland was 7th with 151-!x
Robert Combs 8th also shot 151 but no x's, .40S&W
Ruth Williams was 9th trying hard with 111 .22cal. keep at it.
Rob Voland took 10th with 92 using a .45 Auto
Wallace Pulley finished up with a 70, shooting .38

We have had a few shooters ask about shooting rifle so were
going to try it and see how it goes. They will not be scored
with handguns but will be the same rules.
As you have seen, many shooters shoot more than one gun and caliber so why not handgun and rifle or just rifle? Preferably .22cal but if you want to shoot big bore we may have to move you down to the far end for comfort.
So pass the word.

One of the shooters was having trouble with what turned out to be firing pin issues so next week he may have it corrected and be a real contender.

Have a great week and we'll see you all next week.

Hi everybody;

It was kind of sparse tonight, probaby because people are getting ready for the fourth of July holiday but we had a good time anyway.

Rob Voland shot a 162 in 9mm and a 125 in .45 Auto.
Wallace Pulley shot a 110 in 38spl. and a 55 in 40S&W.

We haven't had anyone try it in rifle yet but they're welcome.

See you all next week.

We had another good time tonight. Several new shooters were there and I think they'll be back.

Nobody had any alibi's that I'm aware of, that's lingo for misfires or jams, but we did have a first though, two shooters tied for first place with a 232-1X, both in .22caliber and I'm not quite sure how to award the prize, split a box of 375 rounds of .22 ammo? I don't know! We'll find a way to work it out though.

I had the pleasure again of working with another young shooter tonight. Maybe one of these days soon he will be giving the rest of you some competition.

Anyway here are the scores.

R.Combs was tied with T.Dobbs for first place with 232-1X in .22caliber.
Next was R.Combs in .40 S&W with 173-1X
Ruth Williams shot a 157 in.22 caliber, way to go Ruth your getting better.
Next was J.Garten with a 147-1X in .22 caliber.
Matt Williams shot a 124 in .22 caliber, good job Matt.
Lajauna Garten shot a 52 in .22 caliber. Her sights were off and she was
shooting high so hopefully they will have her sighted in for next week.

It was hot and muggy outside today but it was cool and dry in the range.
See you all next week and have a good one.

 

[sjstill]

I think they should arm-wrestle to break the tie

We will figure it out. Glad everyone had a good, safe time!!

There you go

 

[rjc2rjc]

If our score is tied and the x is tied. Wouldn't you just go to the 9 ring if that's tied go to the 8 and so forth.

 

[flightsimmer]

Well now, I beleive you have a good point. Let me go back and reveiw the targets and see how that works out and I'll let you know.
Buy the way, all of your previous targets from past weeks are at the range in the same box as the new targets so that if you want you can reveiw them.

 

[flightsimmer]

OK, I checked the targets and T. Dobbs won with a 232-1X, 10 and R. Combs was second with a 232-1X, 8.
So there you have it guys and gals.

 

[rjc2rjc]

Congratulations Mr. Dobbs. Look forward to shooting with you again soon.

 

[flightsimmer]

Wow! What a great evening. The weather outside was hot and humid but it was cool and dry in the range tonight and we had several new shooters tonight also as you will see and I think they all had a great time.

I would like to mention that one of the things that people who shoot often will learn is safe gun handling. By using their firearms often in a range environment where they can receive free instruction they will in time become conscious of safe handling and it will be as natural as breathing. People who seldom or never practice with them are less likely to develope safe handing practices. OK, enough of that.

James Hamilton was our winner tonight with 241-2X in .22 cal.
Will Bolton took second place with 233 in 9mm.
Rob Voland was close third with a 232 in .22 cal.
Tom Dobbs 225-2X in .22 cal.
Calvin Hansard, 218 in .22 cal.
James Hamilton, 210 in .22 cal.
Robert Combs, 209-2X in .22.cal.
Tom Dobbs, 197-2X in .22.cal.
Ruth Williams, 194 in .22 cal.
Woody Burton, 176-1X in .40 S&W
John Hurt, 167 in .45 cal.
Wallace Pulley, 167 in .38 cal.
Rob Voland, 137 in .45 cal.
Robert Combs, 130 in .40 S&W cal.
Matt Williams, 128 in .22 cal.
Wallace Pulley, 121 in .357 Magnum.
Chuck Brinson, 17. in .40 S&W cal.

Good job everybody, hope to see you all next week.

 

[rjc2rjc]

Can you guys smell that? Its a horrible stench. Yep that was my shooting last night. Congrats Jimbo!
I couldn't hit water if I fell out of a boat last night.

 

[sjstill]

Some days you're the dog, some days you're the hydrant

One of these days I'll get in there to shoot and safely take the last place spot

 

[rjc2rjc]

Some how Steve I doubt that you will take last place. LOL

 

[flightsimmer]

We had another great night tonight with some more new shooters.
It was still humid outdoors tonight even though the temperature outside was down some but it was cool and comfortable in the range.
I want to encourage shooters with lower scores than they would like, to be patient and even ask for help if they feel they need it to improve their shooting scores. Many have already improved since they first started.
We had 11 shooters tonight with some shooting two calibers or strings.
OK, the winner tonight is.........................
Tom Dobbs, in .22 cal. with a 252, followed by
James Hamilton, in .22 cal. with 240-1X

Please forgive my interrupting your thread but what type of .22 pistols are most people shooting in these events? Are they open sights? I need to get my wife something she could learn to shoot comfortably......she might enjoy these. How many shots do you shoot in a string? Sorry to sound ignorant but I have never been to any kind of shooting event other than turkey shoots and skeet, lol. Thanks

 

[sjstill]

Open and red dot, really user preference (and budget). No separate classes right now, just shoot what you bring.

Couple of guys use S&W 22A's, I think there are some Rugers and other brands in there. Couple of guys use Glock's, some revolvers as well. Its all for fun and improving skills.

10 shot strings. 10 minutes for 10 shots, 1 minute for 10 shots, 10 seconds for 10 shots. 50 feet is the distance (16.5 yds).

 

[CHCRandy]

Thanks again Steve. So is a perfect score 300? What does the 2X & 3X mean? 10 seconds for 10 shots.....that must be neat to see and I bet it ruins a lot of perfect scores.
