Indiana Run & Gun Project

[shibumiseeker]

Looks like you had a great time! I held a jungle run invitational at my place this spring with a sprint course, a jog course, and a fast march course and folks had a great time. I'm already thinking of another this fall with ways to make it even better.

You could host these run & gun events if you wanted to. I do believe they are seeking properties for southern and northern IN. That is what it's original intent was to combine land owners with guys who wanted to practice shooting "styles" that typical ranges do not allow on a more regular basis. Just a thought.

Something I'm definitely interested in.

This was a discussion I was on when the project first started. I'm pretty private out here and events I hold are for friends and people I know reasonably well. That's part of the reason I'm not on the FB page for it, too much mixing of my personal/professional life and this aspect of my hobbies. I also spend way, way too much of my time hosting things for other folks in other areas of my life, shooting is my relaxation. That's why I didn't publicly post my invitational this spring. I think it's great that the project is up and running (heh) though, and I think there's a lot to be gained from a less structured shooting sport activity.

let me know, I'm local now.

I'm planning on trying something at the farm near Williams/Silverville.

I can understand that. I typically go to my grandmother's property, but since she lives alone and is elderly I don't impose on her by trying to bring big groups of people.

I'll do that.

One of the challenges I had at my place was not getting so many people out that we had to wait forever to get in a run. I could start three people on the runs at one time, but it took on average 10 minutes for completion of the middle length run and in that time I couldn't start anyone on the shorter run. I set it up so folks could do a practice run in the morning and a run for time/accuracy in the afternoon.

I had also figured out a shooting golf course, kind of like frisbee golf, but didn't get the course set up in time.

I would like to set up one were at points along the lanes one had to stop and complete a Competency Skill before proceeding down the lane further. With a time dockage for failure to complete a stop in a satisfactory fashion...
Still trying to work out the bugs...

I'm anxious to see how you work out that pole-dancing station.

I'm anxious to see how you work out that pole-dancing station.

I've already got the stage and pole part built. i have a 53' drop deck with 3 brass poles mounted on it. I am just having trouble with setting up pervert row. As soon as I bring up that you and the Marines want to pole dance, everyone losses interest in it...

Great to see INGOers getting out there and using their guns and gear!

Opportunities like this are gold mines for "moments of learning". What did this run and gun session teach you guys? What worked? What didn't?

Well, apparently....there is no "fault" in using a MOSIN if you KNOW how to run it..

For me, it was great!

I haven't really used an AR since 96 when I left the military and only qualified with it the later half of my Army career, being a Signal Corps computer guy.

I hadn't run any "field gear" since I left the 2nd Armored Cav, which was the only Combat Arms unit I served in. So ALL of this was fairly new to me.

Having been a competative shooter on the pistol side, I felt I wouldn't have many issues with transitioning to a rifle, and that pretty much turned out to be the case.

My "battle belt" is still a work in progress but I learned some things to tweak to make it run better in the future. The ITW Fastmag pouches arrived the day after the shoot, so I'm already looking forward to the next one.

Lessons learned:

My competition gear will stay on it's own belt, my battle belt will be it's own creation. I did what I needed to get by for this one, but each belt will be dedicated to it's own purpose.

Things I will add:
Gun: Nothing for now, I think it's just where I want it.

Gear:
G-Code retention holster for my M&P,
A chest rig with Hydration, med kit, couple more mags pouches

For me, this is even more motivation to eat right, work out and get in better shape. My goal is to lose one hundred pounds over the next year, and treat myself to a professional Carbine course.

Each one of these Run and Guns I attend will help me learn a little more and tweak what I have, so that I can get the most out of me and my gear when I achieve that goal and attend profession training.

To bad Atlanta Conservation Club doesn't have any real distance.... I'd setup something like this there since Im the multigun match director there. But I'm done with that after September, its too far to drive....

Hoping I can make it out to one of these eventually.

That's great! Let me know which course you treat yourself to and I'll join you.

Could always talk to Don out at Proteq in Brazil and see if he would allow the use of the private range.

 

[Omaha In June]

I'd be interested in getting something together like this in my neck of the woods. I haven't did any real training since I lived in Florida.

 

[TheRude1]

One of the main hopes for this group is to keep finding places we can shoot like this.

One of my hopes for his group is that maybe someone would bring it someplace else for people that hate FB ?

Seriously looks like a good time and a good way to meet other members

Let me check with a guy

Sounds very "EIB-ish."
