Practical Rifle at Tri-County

[Unka-Boo]

Was a great match today. I need to sight in my SKS...lol

Well said. You schooled me pretty well today. Couldn't believe you got 15 of 16 hits on stage 3 shooting off-hand. Everyone else used the table as a rest, and not all got as many hits.

 

[Unka-Boo]

I still tanked on the mover though.....oh well! We need to get you off that darn bench and working on your offhand!

So in a rare turn of fate, I told my wife today that I own an SKS. Went over pretty well. She just asked "Is this the last gun you're going to buy?" LOL, she should have known better than to ask that...

Hey, thanks for that note on the Lone Wolfe barrel. I was thinking of buying one. Now I will seek another brand.

This would have been me at 2:45 mark YouTube - ‪Practical Rifle Match January 8th 2011‬‏

My first/only pistol match and my Glock jams on the second shot. Lone Wolf barrel causes jam about every 200 shots; went back to factory.

LOL... good thing she isn't MY wife, she'd have a stroke over the things (and quantity) in my gun safe!!

 

[best defense]

I don't know how many times my wife has said something like that.
I answer honestly, "Probably not."

 

[Stomper]

I just avoid the subject and say, "I've ALWAYS had this since before we met"! LOL!!!

What this old thing, its just been in the back of the safe...

 

[best defense]

I wonder if that would work with the new air rifle I just brought home?

 

[Stomper]

lol, just tell her its a BB gun that was on sale for $29.99

 

[best defense]

She saw it today. Didn't even ask.

I'm interested in Practical Rifle: When & where & what equipment necessary to get involved?

PR matches happen on the 2nd Saturday of each month at the Tri County Gun Club in Sherwood Oregon. Next match is November 12th. You need to attend a safety class that is held in he late afternoon on one of the weekdays before the match- I cant remember what day. For your first match you will be classified as a new shooter -aka a TYRO- and paired with an experienced shooter. You can shoot in either the Iron-Sights Class or the Optics Class depending on the type of sighting system you use.
Gear:
Bring a rifle (any rifle that's reliable and safe) and about 120 rounds of NON-STEEL-CORE ammo. No full auto or select fire. AR's are most common. Eye and ear protection are mandatory. You'll also need a chamber flag (available at the sign in for $1) and soft or hard case to carry your rifle from stage to stage. You'll likely only need about 60 rounds- but each match is different and the stages change each match. Dress appropriately for the weather. The matches are held in a quarry and there is plenty of mud and sharp rocks so hard knee pads are common as well as elbow protection-in case you need to shoot prone. Matches start at 0930 with a safety briefing and can last into the afternoon to as late as 3PM so pack a lunch and bring water.
That's all I can recall right now....the matches are a blast and there are plenty of great people to help you out for your first matches.

Well, I'm frustrated: I've emailed Randy [email protected] and got no response. I've called the range and no one answers. Their Practical Rifle web page is under contruction.

Any suggestions?

Patience? Letter bomb? (JUST KIDDING!!)

That is not Randy's email address. I know it, but I am not going to post it here. What info do you need from him that has not already been covered?
