Pins at MCFG Saturday

[NateIU10]

So, who all is going? I plan to (once I find a ride up there )

What're you shooting? I'll be running my Taurus PT-1911AR and we'll see how she does. Come on fellas

I had almost PM'ed you about going but my wife informed me she has a old friend coming to town Saturday. So, I am now unavaible. I have a mini-van and an Excursion and was gonna volunteer whichever would hold whatever.

Have fun and let me know how a .22 does!

And what better way to say "hi old friend" then to take them to a shoot?!?!

Sorry to hear you can't make it though, should be colder than FNS

I plan on going. I went last month but we shot steel instead (which was a first for me also) so If I can get out and load some ammo......I'll be there.

I wish I could go... I have to go to Chicago to take an advanced job placement exam.

You guys shot steel instead of pins? I liked steel and was looking forward to trying pins, I'll be happy either way

Marion County Fish and Game. Saturday. It's on the main page at the bottom under calendar I believe also.

It will be too cold to shoot pins on Saturday.
Temperatures below 35 degrees contribute to the pins shattering and splintering too much.
We waste too many pins under cold conditions.

We will be shooting steel plates on Saturday.
We will have 3 groups of plates at various distances from the covered firing line.
This will be just for fun although we will record times.
Please note: our version of steel shooting is not like Friday Night Steel or a Steel match in Atlanta. Its much less involved.
However, we are focused on safety.

$2 per shooter to shoot the stages as many times as time allows.
We usually finish shooting before noon.

Hmm sounds like fun, but I may have to pass on it this time. Cold, early and all, I'll have to think...

ETA: If I do make it up there, I'd shoot the G19 for cheaper ammo though

I plan to be there no matter what the weather. Gotta get back and shoot at something.

 

[browndog2]

Nate,
When the weather gets warm, we shoot pins.
It may be worth a drive up to shoot bowling pins, but likely not worth a drive up for our version of shooting steel.
When it gets warmer we look forward to shooting bowling pins again.

Jimboindy,
Your emails have been bouncing back, are you receiving emails from the bowling pin list?

 

[NateIU10]

Ok, sounds like I'll just make it up there when it gets a little warmer

Thanks for all the help!

 

[jimbo-indy]

Yes, I am receiving the e_mails. It's a network problem. We are workng on it with Nextel. Just ignore the failure notices. See you Sat.

I took a route for saturday so unless it is after 5pm I won't be able to make it.

 

[slacker]

I have work saturday morning My RIA 1911a1 is itching to slaughter some pins though.

maybe next month it will be sunny and 60 degrees (</wishful_thinking>)

8am ...

8am ...

Well I could come shoot for an hour or two........ we will have to see how the morning goes.

Looking at it again, setup is at 8:00 and shooting starts at 8:30. The way it sounds, shooting for a limited amount of time shouldn't be a problem as you pay per stage however many you want to shoot

MCF&G Bowling Pin Shoot, setup at 8:00am, shooting begins about 8:30am, more info at Marion County Fish and Game Association, Indianapolis, Indiana

 

[doublebarrel]

I'll try to be there this time... the itch is just too much to bear

 

[browndog2]

We had too few shooters at starting time to bother setting up the plates.
We hung around for an hour or so. just shooting the breeze,
but still not enough shooters showed up.
I believe a few people stayed to shoot, but I did not.
Oh well, maybe next month.
