Music City Tactical Shooters - Intro to Competition Shooting 02/04/2012

[Mechanic_X]

No need to be scared. Everyone is polite on the range. We're all armed.

Hognut is dreading his haircut.

[HOGNUT]

We will shoot in all weather: Snow, rain, hail, sleet, sunshine, cold, or heat. We do not shoot with active lightning or tornado. Flooding(May 2010) we were on the range but left quickly.

Weather Forecast

[Trekbike]

The forecast for Saturday isn't looking too good right now. Hope it changes because I'm not up for shooting in active rain.

[ir0nreign10]

Its even more fun shooting in the rain. I always say "If it ain't rainin' we ain't shootin" Well its suppose to be "If it ain't rainin' we ain't trainin" I just made up that first part. It will be fun..

[gsbell]

I'll take a little rain over freezing temps and snow anytime

I know this is a intro to competitive shooting, but will there be any type of giveaways, prizes or ???

Typically at local matches there are no prizes given away. Most club shooters enjoy helping newer shooters gain confidence with their firearm enough. I will be happy to give away any prize donations you may want to provide to the staff that make all this happen.

The only prize from what I understand is if at least 90 people show up...HOGNUT gets a hair cut.

[Guest ArmsForAmerica]

the biggest prize is going to be a free fresh water shower.

LOL

Maybe Hognut needs a shampoo and condition before his haircut.

Are we lathering it up and shaving completely? Or just closely buzzed.

[HOGNUT]

I will be bringing electric razors I don't trust you or anybody else with razors.

[Mechanic_X]

Firearms OK. Razor no go?

[HOGNUT]

You do realize I have seen you shoot, correct?

[Mechanic_X]

After reading over the IDPA rule book I had some questions about what ammo to use for this. I have a lot of WWB but I was not sure if that would meet the power floor ratings needed.

Power Floor comes into play when there is a chronograph usually at a sanctioned match(as some people of the Music City Cup I found out). Local matches, I have NEVER seen someone chronograph. This is a non competitive event to get people to the range to see if competitive shooting is right for them. WWB has never been a problem or factory round for that matter. Do not worry about this for tomorrow.

thank you for the kind words I am glad you enjoyed your trip even though it's really early this morning

[ir0nreign10]

I wanna Thank all the guys I had in our squad for all the pasting and resetting all the targets. I had a great time playing in the rain, I really thought it was going to rain all the time we were there but it quit as soon as we shot out second stage. Again Thank you guys for being out there with us instead of setting in your warm family room watching TV. I am sure the experience was better that you had expected...

I had a great squad. Thanks for the help guys.

His score will reflect the gratitude.

[fullmetaljoe]

I was also in John's squad. I'll second him doing a great job as SO. And yes, he paid me several hundred cents to say that.

Throughout the match, I identified several things I need to work on and, most importantly, had an absolute blast while doing it. Thanks for hosting this match guys!
