Fun shoot and a good squad. Made for a very nice Saturday morning / early afternoon.
Sean did very well for never having done this before, with all borrowed equipment.

Talk about lots going on, The October match is also the same day as the scoped rifle challenge. FML, decisions decisions. #gunownerproblems

We do not have a match scheduled for the day before Fall Walls. I apologize for any erroneous information.

Apparently the person that handles the club's event calendar posted that match without checking with the appropriate people. It has since been removed.

Is anyone planning on doing the shotgun match in 2.5 weeks (Saturday the 29th)? I am but other than the posted schedule I wonder if it's still on.

What type of targets are you shooting at in a shotgun match. Is it tactical like IDPA?

Match is still on Not sure on number of stages or round count yet but it is still on. Expect a mix of steel and birds, both stationary and airborne.

Would 7.5 be a good all around load?

 

[hedgehound]

Any slug stages?

7 1/2 or 8 are fine No slugs this time

BUMP for any NESr's going. I will be there running my vintage 1100 which got me started in this may years ago before they came modded from the factory.

I'm hoping to be there. I'm dying to try out my new shotgun. It's an auto loader, that means it loads itself right?

Oh, so it auto unloads too. Probably at the most inappropriate time.

People think loading a wheel gun is slow....

Are you kidding? I watched a couple of Lena Miculek shotgun reloading videos. Piece of cake.

What is the cost again for this, $25?

 

[Cuz]

Does anyone know what the max # of rounds you can have in the shotgun is at the start buzzer in Limited Division? I thought it was 8+1, but want to confirm.

Thanks.

I guess the weather is going to be really shitty tomorrow. Is this still happening?


If you can read this so can the CIA

 

[chrismshanks]

weather was perfect, over cast with nice light breeze, not a drop of rain!

I had an awesome time brought my friend and he too thoroughly enjoyed it, we're both 1st timers! well... me a 2nd timer anyway

I ended up going however suffered a failure midway through the 4th stage in which the shells were double loading. I tore it down at home and noticed I had a missing clip for the interceptor latch. I also might have a problem with a weak mag spring. Of course I decided to film a stage, the stage the failure happened....

 

[chrismshanks]

you still stuck through it to the end!

 

[RImike]

It was a $.23 snap ring that held the interceptor latch in place. With it gone, shells were just flying past it and double feeding. The mag spring is also about 4 inches to short, I stretched it out so it's about 14 inches past the tube and have 2 new ones on order so I can keep them as spares.

Next practical shotgun is July 22nd, who's down? I am seeking redemption from last years failures.
