Standley,

Been a long time. How ya doing? This is Justin. I used to shoot alot with you guys back at Millersville and Gallatin. I know both Bucks, both Johns, Russell, and Teddy. Take care and hope ya'll have a good turnout on the 13th.

[rstandley]

Hey Justin;

Spend most of my weekends running and shooting matches. Buck List has some health issues, not been around much lately, Still see Buckland most weekends, the Johns have been MIA for a while, Russell is back shooting again and Teddy is off building houses, nice ones I might add.

1. What does it cost

2. Are there any prerequisites that have to be met?

3. What type shotgun would you suggest for someone to start with?

(I've got a mossy 590 top folder..not the most comfortable for extended shooting)

[rstandley]

Cost is $15 for non-clubmembers plus ammo. If your first time to shoot I will have you fillin a waver. you will needs a strong side holster and at least 1 mag carrier. The 590 will work, I shoot a Winchester superx2. One of those evil black shotguns. I have a 8 round side saddle on the left, a 4x2 on the right and a 5 rd buttstock holder. I can get 28 rds. on and in the gun. Some guys perfer a bandoloer or the 6 rd belt shell holder or arm band. One stage is 19 rounds birdshot, practice reloading under pressure.

[rstandley]

Shotguns to consider; Winchester super x2 practical, Remington 1100 or 11-87, Benelli M1 super 90, m2, m4. around a 21 inch barrell is best, try to get a 8 rd magazine cap. Their is also a Russian model that uses a detachable box magizine. Not sure of the model#

How about a Saiga 12ga with the 20 round drum mag?

I really wish folks would schedule matches for Sundays some time so those of us (OK, me) unable to compete on Saturdays could still shoot. Sounds like a ton of fun.

What time does it start?

Whats the best way to get to the range from Nashville

I'm a regular at Brush Creek so well familiar with that great club.

I've been to Manchester. It is a longer drive for me and I thought they had gone over to IPSC.

I've never been to the Dickson Club. Might have to try them out.

You left out whatever club it is that meets Mon at 6pm at Second Amendment Arms in Springfield.

Manchester Shoots IDPA on 2nd and 3rd Sundays. Randy White and Rob Bell hold IDPA type matches on Monday nights around 6:00 pm, it is really not a club, just a bunch of guys that like shooting.

Robert,

Do they still shoot Shotgun every other week? How do they provide the scores? I talked to someone at the shop awhile back and they said they were considering doing a website. How many shooters do they normally have?

I have been threatning to go for a while but have yet to make it.

Thanks,

Mike

[rstandley]

Mike, I have not been to the match in over a year, I talk with Randy when I see him is the only reason I know what I do. Last time I shot, we figured the scores at the end.

[dunndw]

I'm planning on attending...if my shoulder heals :-) I hadn't shot 12 gauge from the shoulder in quite a while. First two rounds were shot "loose" from the shoulder...now...

O U C H...my damn shoulder is SORE, bruised...ugh.

I guess I could go Rambo style and use the pistol grip:-)

At this point in time they are not shooting shotgun on Monday nights at Second Amendment in Springfield.

Do you happen to know if that is permanent or temporary change?

[GaryXD]

Do you happen to know if that is permanent or temporary change?

Don't know for sure. They have found out that attendance drops way down on shotgun nights. And it doesn't help the air quality in there either.

[ZZRguy]

The scores are posted from the match this morning. It was a great match and I met a couple of fellow TGO members there, I was happy to see them there and put a face with a name. Robert thanks for another great match.

[dunndw]

That was a TON of fun. I did better than I thought.

Everyone who's into shooting should try IDPA at least once.

Thanks to ZZRguy, Robert and everyone else who made the new guys feel welcome, gave us tips and reminded us that is was more about fun.

[DBTN]

I am glad you had a good time and I hope you and the one other new shooter I know was there come back. Maybe next time more TGO members can attend.

[dunndw]

From talking to him after the match...I think he's hooked as well.
