Thanks!

You guys are lucky I didn't make it with my 10/22. I'd make sure that I was the best AND the worst on every stage! I go for 'mean' and not 'average' when I shoot!

Hey thats not nice

Hey thats not nice

It has been said and is very likely true. There are two kinds of competitive shooters; those who have been DQ'ed and those that will be.

Try like hell to avoid it and learn from it when it happpens.

I have both times, I'm just sad at how many ways I have found to DQ so far.

Sorry I didn't see this thread before the event. I was in the group that started on Stage 3, firing my Kimber TLE II and Mossberg 590A1.

I won shotgun!

..... well, ok, so I was the only one shooting shotgun, but I'm not going to let that get in my way!

This was the first time shooting the Mossberg (just got it last week) and I learned a few things.

1) 75+ rounds of 12GA hurts both your wallet and your shoulder

2) If I'm in trouble, I should grab the SG instead of the pistol. I generally was faster at each stage execpt #1.

3) Speaking of Stage #1...that was really evil. Turning around, loading the SG, and then firing? A one-legged man with a rock could have killed me by the time I was ready to shoot! OTH, I got pretty quick at shoving shells in the magazine tube by the end.

4) Next time if I shoot both, I'm shooting pistol first! My pistol scores, especially on the first couple stages, were dismal.

5) SG's are not designed to be fired braced on your arm. I tried that in order to shoot left handed around the barrier on Stage 4....ow. My boys think the very colorful new bruise on my bicep is cool though.

Ah well, shooting stuff is fun. Looking forward to next time, though I may leave the big dog at home.

 

[HICKMAN]

looks like Craig and Zoub have someone else to shoot shotgun with, they both left them home this time.

Technical difficulties and a few other things this past week, then mix in that damn gun show!! I may sit down and edit later this week but I have to prepare for a big week at work so I will be low profile for a few days starting now.

It is good to spread things out, consume in moderation. First priority is to get clip to Shooter of Shooter Jr.

As for shotguns, next month I will have two or three with me, plus a few friends with shotguns and plenty of invites to people, including club members tosome see or shoot shotguns at FNS SO we may need to do a shotgun intensive squad. or I may end up being alone, you never know!!

I guarantee one shotgun will be cool, not over done but cool in a functional kind of way.

I am going to have to come out to one of these...i do only live 5 minutes away. I cant take my pistols yet (waiting on LTCH) but i can come to watch. How does using a shot gun work? That seems kinda easy using buckshot.

 

[HICKMAN]

they use birdshot for shooting steel, not sure what size though.

BigCraig and Zoub use shotties out there.

Not as easy as you think.

Also remember, you need to be fast.

As far as the shot size, I use #7-1/2 or #8.

The club also has a rule that you must use #6 or smaller for FNS, no slugs or buck.

I think we might try an all shotgun squad next month. I am thinking only pump shottys, no autos, but if folks want to run their autos that is cool too.
