League shooting at Beech Grove Firearms and Range

[jakemartens]

Yes
If you could please update when
And the details of what type of shooting that is going on
Type of firearm being used

NRA B-2 & B-3 targets at 50 feet. 30 shot course (most people bring 60 rounds and get in two courses during their half-hour of range time). Each course is 10 shots slow fire, 10 shots "timed" fire (one minute), and 10 shots "rapid" fire with two 5-shot strings in 10 seconds each (this allows people with revolvers and single-stack guns with < 10 round mags to be able to play on equal footing).

The range officer times the strings with a whistle, but your score is a point total off the scoring rings, not an elapsed time. It approximates the Camp Perry style National Match Course, except people are allowed to shoot with two hands, optics, whatever. You don't have to be the fastest, it's really an accuracy game. A common choice is to bring one centerfire and one rimfire gun and shoot a 30 shot course with each, but folks seem to shoot the best scores with their target .22 with a red dot.

Hope that helps. It's a good time & we'd love to get more folks out, the more the merrier! Every Tuesday night at 6, 6:30, and 7PM. Just show up at the range counter at the back of BGF and say you want to shoot the league. Sign in, you'll give them your driver's license and be assigned a firing point, get your targets and head out to the line (there is a one-time waiver form if you've never shot there before).

And don't forget to pick up your DL on the way out...(don't ask me why I say that - I'd forget my own wedding if there was shooting involved).

So what does a person have to do, just show up? Sorry I didn't go back and reread the entire thread. Once a month?

Show up with any gun, rifle, pistol or revolver, any caliber and 30 rounds of ammo.
Of course it stands to reason that rifles do not compete against handguns but if there are more than one shooter using rifles they would only compete against each other. So far that hasn't happened.
So far only one prize has been offered each week for handgun competition.
We like to keep it simple and fun for everyone.

AllenM you should try to shoot the league with the S&W 500.lol I've seen you shoot some pretty tight groups with it before.

 

[AllenM]

I have shot several 1 shot 1/2" groups with it but I think I'll not use that

 

[Killion]

Thanks for putting this on. I had a lot of fun and will be back. That was my first time for doing that and my first visit to BGF. Must say thats a first class shop and indoor range

 

[AllenM]

Side note it would be great if enough people did this to create teams

Good shooting everybody, see you next week.

I planned to be there and give it a try, but I had to stay home and wait on a repairman that was running late.
I'll have to wait until January now.

 

[rockhopper46038]

Sounds like something I'd like to try!

 

[SpaldingPM]

I'll be there next Tues!

 

[jakemartens]

Christmas Eve?

 

[flightsimmer]

Christmas Eve?

I just called them and they said they would be closing at 2:00 PM on Christmas Eve so there will be no league shooting on 12/24/13, sorry. It will probably be the same for New Years Eve but I check and get back to you.

 

[flightsimmer]

Hi everybody;
I checked with BGF&R about their hours for New Years Eve (Tuesday evening) and Karen said they would have regular hours BUT! It has been so crowded in both the store and the range this week that I thought it might be better to just wait untill the following Tuesday, January 7, 2014 for our next match. Hope this is OK with everybody, it's just been crazy busy.

 

[jakemartens]

thanks for the update
