[Coach]

Shoot the steel match at ACC then the USPSA match at Riley on Sunday. What a great weekend. You only live once.

entry fees + gas money + ammo x 2 x 2... doesn't sound like much until you add it up.
awesome thought, but not budget friendly.

 

[obijohn]

lars, you'd shoot production with 10 rounds in your mags or production with standard capacity.

screw the budget, let's go shootin'.

 

[cougar_guy04]

I believe the class your P30 would bein is either, prodction or limited. RHINO???
He'll know.... he knows all.

P30 in 9mm is production legal according to USPSA's list.

Also, Pami . . . the Riley crew is the reason why I have come to love the sport as much as I do. It's a very "FNG" friendly crew.

 

[notasccrmom]

Then you'd better buy a limited gun, 'cause you may lose that 34 to her

Wouldn't that be a shame?

Coach, I'm pretty sure you're right about that. I know that you, Dave, and others have been really good with new shooters (myself included).

Like has been mentioned before, this is a great club for new shooters to get their feet wet. We all know what it's like to be new. Come on out, an hour drive isn't that much.

 

[Fenway]

That sounds nice.

It's a very "FNG" friendly crew.

 

[Lars]

How many rounds for the event roughly?
Will we be alright with 3, 15round mags?

(I've actually got 4, Pami's got 3 for her P250.)

 

[rhino]

I dunno what class my P30 is going to stick me in.... Anyone know?

In USPSA, "class" refers to classification, based on ability level, not what equipment you use.

Your pistol will allow you to shoot in any of the following divisions:

Limited
Limited 10
Open
Production

The best fit is Production Division, but you will be limited to 10 rounds in each magazine. Since you guys are low on magazine supply, your best bet for Sunday is probably Limited Division, where you can load your magazines to their standard capacity.

In any case, it doesn't really matter which division you enter when you're starting.

I will recommend at this time that you get more magazines. I understand budget constraints, but 3-4 magazines isn't enough even for a carry gun in my opinion. If one or two of them malfunction, you don't have enough for daily carry. If you plan on taking more class, the more magazines you have available, the better your experience will be since you won't have to spend every free moment pushing bullets into 'em.

For USPSA, you should probably have at least five or six, especially if you enter a division which limits how many rounds you can load. The stages will not have more 32 rouns, but you will find that it's not always a great idea to shoot to slide lock. Sometimes it's in your best interests to reload when you still have some rounds left in the gun because you are moving, have no targets to engage, and will need more rounds than you have when you get to the next shooting position.

More mags are always better. Yeah, they cost money. More mags are always better.

 

[Coach]

Three fifteen rounders will get you by for now if they don't malfunction. Shoot this match as a learning experience and get started learning a great game that can translate to better overall gun skills.

Rhino is right. More mags the better. For Production or L10 you need five to play the game properly. Single stack may require six on the belt.

Just don't pay the rent or mortgage this month. This is not life or death. It's shooting and that is really important. That said we don't take checks.

 

[bigcraig]

Can't make it, the GF totaled my truck tonight.

 

[Cwood]

Can't make it, the GF totaled my truck tonight.

Hope she is alright Craig

 

[Lars]

Nobody gave me a round count for this event.
50, 100, 150, 200 per shooter?

 

[Coach]

Craig sorry to hear about the truck. Hope the GF is ok.

 

[Lars]

Obijohn, and Rhino popped my cherry. I feel so dirty now.

 

[SilentWarrior1]

You were dirty the moment you laid eyes on a Glock. The envy and lust consumes.

 

[Pami]

Things we learned from this event:

1. Hostages are not safe when Pami is rescuing them. They need to duck lower, or expect a new haircut.

2) Dr. Scholl's slide-on tennis shoes may be really comfortable for walking around malls, but they really suck when it comes to walking on large gravel.

c. Steel plates that fall forward only need one bullet. Nine shots will only keep them standing up. *ahem*Lars*ahem*

IV) SIGs worn in super thin IWB Kydex holsters need more padding or time to cool down after shooting 45 rounds.

e. My bullets are allergic to steel plates. Lars's ammo, however, seems to think the plates are magnetic and just fly right out of his gun into the plate. Nevermind that we were shooting the same ammo.

6) I need to figure out how to make a 3:00ish carry comfortable. 5:00 carry makes people nervous and has an easy potential to break the 180.

Photos coming eventually.

Definitely a BIG thank you to Obijohn and Rhino for making today so much fun!!!

 

[Pami]

Oh.. one other thing:

People in Arby's look at you funny when, laughing, you tell someone you killed all the hostages.
