Unless it is your wedding, you are an un necessary part of the mix and even then it would be questionable Ask Rob B what he did on his wedding day

 

[TY43215]

I'll be happy to.

Thanks Dan, I always enjoy shooting with you. now, I just gotta figure out what I have to hold all those 10 round mags

 

[Mike S]

In, might just bring the Garand as well as an AR

I may grab some injection-molded crappy pouches, or may be reloading out of pockets. One in the gun, two in the left pocket one in the rear left pocket. Might just be enough!

Bass River is having a combo rifle/pistol match 10/3. You don't have to shoot both. New Bedford is having their rifle match 11/28.

you can only shoot one. But if you shoot the Garand, you won't be the only one!

 

[Massman]

Heavy metal! Been looking for the chance to use the AR10!

 

[vellnueve]

I'm extremely tempted to go M1 carbine. I don't even know if it's a legal caliber.

Most likely the AR. Then again, the AK would be fun.

Decisions...

 

[Gammon]

Since the distance is short, I wonder if there will be a rimfire class?

 

[Supermoto]

They usually have steel at 60-70 yards, sometimes the texas star. I don't think .22lr will be up for that

 

[TheRoland]

Decisions...

I'm no expert, but when I read the rules a few days ago, it occurred to me that .30 carbine would make power factor easy. At the distances we're at, it might be better than 5.56.

I don't know how it would do knocking down steel.

how is it going to be better than 5.56?

 

[TheRoland]

Lower recoil, still minor power factor?

To be clear, I don't know what I'm talking about, but at less than 100 yards, wouldn't such pistol-caliber carbines be about as good or better than a 5.56 round? Maybe except for steel?

 

[Supermoto]

Nope, a .223 will have less recoil, especially a properly set up one. my 9mm AR has a ton more recoil than my .223.

 

[TheRoland]

Nope, a .223 will have less recoil, especially a properly set up one. my 9mm AR has a ton more recoil than my .223.

Interesting. I learned something. Thanks!

A 5.56 round has 3.5-sh kg*m/s momentum, whereas a .30 carbine has 4.3-ish. Thus, I guess it's obvious that it would have more recoil, had I thought about it. Oops.

 

[vellnueve]

Fun-wise?

 

[Supermoto]

Fun-wise?

For me, No, I really have no interest in old guns.

No rimfire wusses in USPSA!

 

[Dan S]

Nope, a .223 will have less recoil, especially a properly set up one. my 9mm AR has a ton more recoil than my .223.

That's because the 9MM is not a locked breach. The bolt Carrier is heavier to compensate for the energy of the 9mm when fired.

 

[Supermoto]

True, But I think even a locked breach like an MP5 will have more climb then a well sorted AR. You agree? Maybe I'm spoiled now

 

[Lugnut]

I have no idea what you guys are talking about. That being said I may try out my stock AR15. It will be FUNny!

 

[Dan S]

You shold be spoiled! The MP5 is quite heavy, which reduces recoil.

 

[vellnueve]

I think I have it down to either the M-16A1 forgery, M-16A2 forgery, an M1 carbine, or the WASR (all most likely with irons). Most likely the first, but I'm keeping my options open.

Whatever you shoot, just make sure there is no steel in the bullet

 

[vellnueve]

Will all the stages have steel? Last year only one stage had steel targets. Steel wasn't an issue on the other 6.

 

[Supermoto]

Dan Hurley will have to chime in on the rules. But it seems like ever year, there is always someone that puts a hole in the plate

 

[vellnueve]

Yeah, I understand the need to protect the steel. However, last year I saved my limited amount of XM193 for the steel stage and used Silver Bear on the rest.

How long do these days go usually?
