We're expecting a great turnout. Come shoot as many times as you like.

Best,
Jay

Sounds like fun, but because you are starting at 3pm with such short notice, I can't make it.

Will this be a weekly / monthly thing?

 

[WargameHub]

Way too early to make it. Even 5:00 is tough for a lot of people and at best I could make it by 6:30.

Thanks guys. Weekends are tied up until June and the club has a policy of no evening shooting so this is the best we could do. Might stretch it until 7p as sunset is 7:21p. Wont be a match to forget !

 

[Dan S]

Jay, Tuesday Afternoon Steel would be more appropriate.

 

[tabascoisnice]

Hey Jay, this sounds great. I'm relatively new to this type of shooting. Your page said to come early for a safety briefing, what time should I show up for that?

Cheers

 

[Lugnut]

So is this every Tuesday?? Love to make a bunch of these.

 

[oldtimemainer]

As the days get longer, will the match run later?

 

[speedmonger]

yes well make them later as the season progresses. See http://jayhirshberg.com/tuesday-night-steel/ for briefing update...

 

[SJan]

So April 10th is the next. Ill try to skip out if work early that day.

2 weeks should be enough time to get the day off, HSA knows how to run very fun matches and this should be nice and laid back. (I love reactive targets!)

 

[speedmonger]

Guys-

I promise you will see targets that no one (that I know of) has in the northeast ! it will be awesome

 

[GreyEyes]

I am hoping to make this event. I just recently attended the intro to USPSA/IPSC class that was run by the HSA folks and I had a blast. I'm sure that if I can make it out, this time will be no different!

 

[speedmonger]

Folks-

It occurred to me to mention that unlike a traditional shoot, you can come ANYTIME between 3p and say 630p to shoot. We'll try to get you right out on the range pending how many people are in line to get out.

 

[stacylee]

Looking forward to it. We will be there!

I took someone pistol shooting for their first time today and I was telling him I might go to this thing. He said he might want to come and watch. Can I bring along a spectator?

 

[speedmonger]

Spectators welcome. Make sure they have eyes and ears...

They CAN, but be forewarned, AT LEAST one of us is going to offer to loan them a gun and some gear so they can try it for themselves.

As well as protection for both.

Come early, shoot often.

Cool beans. I will make sure he is outfitted.

Ha. I told him I had a spare holster and mag carrier he could use if he wanted to give it a whirl, but I think he's just checking the scene for the time being. I'm sure once I can get him there to watch and get his LTC (Already well on his way) you might see him running around a course in the future. Of everyone I've taken shooting, he certainly seems the most interested.

 

[IPSC_DRL]

See Y'all tomorrow on the range. I welded up a couple more targets for us to use.

 

[GreyEyes]

Great event, I had a ton of fun and got to shoot at some stuff I'd never seen before. I'm especially glad I got to shoot a texas star finally. What was that other doodad called, the spinning plate rack thing?

Anyways, thanks to the folks at HSC for running this and thanks to everyone that showed up for a good show. Also I'd like to thank you all for being accommodating with my buddy that showed up, he had a good time watching the event. By the next time this thing goes 'round, I think I can get him out to actually shoot it!

 

[RI_Shoota]

What was that other doodad called, the spinning plate rack thing?

It was a Polish Plate Rack, yes it was pretty fun!

 

[IDPA Mike]

It was a Polish Plate Rack, yes it was pretty fun!

My 1st time there. Great bunch of guy's.
Thank goodness I brought 200 rounds. With my shooting I used them all.

Got some video of John S. on Stage 3

[GreyEyes]

NICE!

Yeah, that sums it up! Cool video, thanks.

 

[tabascoisnice]

Great time and great folks all around. It was great meeting folks and getting some time shooting some steel. That polish plate rack was a blast to shoot especially once it got spinning. IDPA Mike, I was right there with ya shooting 200 rds

 

[RI_Shoota]

Couple more vids

This was my first run at ever shooting a polish plate rack...turns out it was much easier to shoot than i'd thought!, but everything leading up to it sucked pretty bad!

And here's my second run (due to timer issues)....Did pretty well on the plate rack....but thats ALL!
