Might try and pop in tonight. But I might be closer to 6:30, would that be an issue?

Not in the least! We start at 6:00 and run relays until it is time to eat. We go to the Dynasty restaurant down the street when we are done. Usually around 8:00 or so. You can jump into any relay where there is an opening. We try to let new arrivals get on a relay before others who have already had a turn.

OK, I'll be there.

D'oh missed this. Would like to try next month. Watched some of your videos. Looks like a good time. Just curious. What is the distance to the plates? Just curious.

Had a good time despite some of those trick plates. Even when dumping a full mag on never go down.

As John learned, slow and steady wins the race. Peter had a couple of runs where he hit one for one. Hard to beat that.

One of these times I’m going to have to skip my sons karate class and come to this.

How embarrassing will it be for me when I’m on the first plate still while the other person finishes?

 

[chris_1001]

Thanks for doing these, I had a good time last night!

Maybe these are wrong, but I found them at: Hopkinton Heavy Hitters

Looks like fun. Hopefully next time, I will make it.

Yup. That is what it looks like. Here is one from last night
It is a standard 50' range but we set the tables ahead of the benches so I would say that the distance from shooter to plates is 40'. We get some splash-back so I am hyper-vigilant about eye protection. You start off just shooting the 5 plates on the rack. Once you win a full relay you have to hit a pepper popper and the five plates. Win again and you get 2 poppers and the plates. This gives better shooters a handicap as the night goes on. We do 8 person relays and we ended up doing 13 relays last night.

The next one will be on Wednesday 2/28 since the bulls-eye league has the range the other weeks. Come on down!

I’m gonna try to come. I’m recovering from hand surgery so I’m a bit handicapped but who cares.

I didn’t know this existed before this moment and now there is nothing more I’d rather be doing.
