Season 3: SAT 24 MAR 2012 NWI Meet & Shoot

[melensdad]

OK well just to help out, I'm still going to be missing in action, but I've made arrangements with Joe to get my gas grill and the Para Warthog to the shoot.

 

[Davegrave]

But will you paint yourself blue

Wow, ya give a guy an inch....

If that's what it takes I'm down.

 

[Goober135]

What distance for the rifle competition?

Well it's typically done on the 25 yard but if Goober wants to do it on any of the others that is kool me me.

I was actually debating on moving the rifle competition to the 50 yard. Would anyone be opposed to that? I've got a few tricks up my sleeve to equalize the scoped to iron sight users. What do you all think? Keep it at the 25yd or move up to the 50yd?

 

[Tydeeh22]

just when i got zeroed at 25 yards. haha

St. John votes ... FARTHER!

 

[Goober135]

St. John votes ... FARTHER!

It appears i'm going to not only throw in some twists to equalize the scoped to iron sight shooters, but also some for all the St. John shooters!

I really should have put that in purple. I'm ok with the 25 line and I would recommend keeping it there. Equalizers are a good idea, too.

Not having ever arrived in time for one, does the entire "match" happen in one fell swoop or is it a "playoff" type elimination that culminates in the crowning of a champion?

Don't worry. I caught the sarcasm.

My only issue with the 25yd line is that the people with scopes (esp. .22's) DOMINATE those with irons. I have yet to find a way to really "equalize" that problem on the 25.

Just for times sake, and the fact that the competition is mainly for fun / bragging rights, we've done it in one fell swoop. I'd be open to suggestions though!

So true what if you have scoped at the 50 and irons at the 25? just an idea?
hit me up though goober

 

[jshaft37]

What's the protocol for trying some other user's firearms? I'm in the market for a fullsize service/duty pistol and I see there's going to be at least a few M&P, XD, Glocks, etc. It'd be great to get a chance to shoot them side by side.

Hey man, can I shoot your gun?
Go for it.
/protocol


The rule of thumb is, if you just want to fire a few shots, most people will let you use their ammo to try their gun. If you want to shoot thru a whole mag or 10, it's polite to have your own. But often if it's an unusual caliber people are super cool and will hook you up if you're really interested.

 

[geronimojoe85]

The polite way is to bring a box of factory brass cased ammo and ask.

Most of the time (say if you don't bring 45) folks will spot you a few rounds. Don't expect to shoot up a box of 50, but most are willing to loan you 5-10.

 

[jshaft37]

Sounds good. I'll probably pick up a box of 9mm, just because I don't want to be "that guy".

 

[Davegrave]

Better make it 2. It goes so fast.

 

[jshaft37]

Alright, barring any unforeseen hiccups I should be out there.

Shooting:
CZ 452 22lr w/ BRNO Match Sights
Marlin 795 22lr w/ Tech Sights

Possibly Shooting:
Wingmaster 12ga
Mini 14
Savage .223
Colt Commander .45

Is this what you are bringing? Or what others are bring and you will want to shot? I ask so I can updated the main list with weapons coming.

 

[melensdad]

Andy is bringing a Ruger 1911, it might be for sale?

I'm definitely bringing those 22s and I may bring some or all of the others.

I might take it ... does it come with a box of nitrile gloves?

 

[melensdad]

No, it come with DNA
