Speed Steel at ARPC Feb 23d, 2020

[Lesliet]

I got 2nd in RFPO, so that's another one of us representing. *grin*

And my vacation to Italy is apparently cancelled due to Coronavirus, so I'll probably be at the March meet, after all.
I saw Dyjital and Piratepast40 at the match!

Squad 6 for me. I saw the NWFA signage. Got no sleep the night before so I was pretty wore out by the end of the match and decided to head out without mingling with the NWFA folks. I met a few of you at Albany speed steel previously. For those of you I missed, maybe next time.

Managed 4th in PCCO. A fellow NWFA member took 1st in two divisions yesterday. Damn him!

Sounds like someone went "FullToddo" again. Had to miss it, birthday lunch with my personal photo source! good shooting both of you!

Why yes, yes he did! Lol

 

[Medusa]

Yeah I got 6th of 28 in limited, with one truly bad stage, so I can't complain too much.

1st in my group of 1.
RFPI

[Sig sour]

that guy sucks, he uses cheater guns. he should go shoot his own match.

Hello fellow ARPC members. As of yesterday (5-30-20), I'm now an official badge wearing member. I hope see you all at the next speed steel match and look forward to shooting the match as a freshly minted member.

Welcome to ARPC, @spookshack!

I'm looking forward to the next one, as well. Once we get to where 75+ person group events are back on the menu...

I love the range and would be a member but it's way too far from my house. Hope their steel matches resume soon!

 

[spookshack]

The main reason for me was I have an AR pistol in 300 Blsckout. At TCGC, the only ranges I can shoot it are at the GP or the 200/300.

The main purpose for my 300 Blackout is home defense (very close range). Both of the above mentioned ranges are not conducive to home defense type shooting. ARPC on the other hand, I'll be able to use the bays for some very up close shooting.

I'm roughly 90min away from ARPC. 300 Blackout in not cheap round to shoot so this won't get much range time and as such, would generally not make financial sense to be or become a member of ARPC. However, with the ability to use their bays even if on a limited basis, made it more than worth it to me to become a member. YMMV

I just joined at the beginning of May, been having a great time, amazing facilities and I haven't even gotten to try everything yet.

Really excited to attend events when they start back up

Feel free to kick me a note next time you go out, if I can manage it I'll join ya (if you'd like company).

That would be great, I'd love to shoot with some like minded folks who can give me some pointers too.

I ended up getting free time for a little bit today, shot on the handgun range at steel for the first time, it was awesome. I was flying through ammo like crazy but every ring is so nice it's hard not to smile.

Need more mags and more ammo, pronto

 

[Lesliet]

@BrandonOR , and so it begins....

 

[spookshack]

One of my speed steel buddies made up a sticker for my ammo can that says, "paper is for coloring". Truer words have never been spoken. Long live steel!

If your schedule allows, you have to shoot a speed steel match. Matches at ARPC and TCGC are awesome!

That "ding ding ding ding ding " sound is lovely music. I'll be planning to make some brass rainbows, tomorrow, as well.

 

[BWH]

Spookshack can build rainbows with many, many pieces in the air. Its amazing. Almost as many as FullToddo!
Of course, they have both introduced me to a new "dance". Hopefully I can be a wall Flower next shoot and sit one out so to say!

 

[spookshack]

Well I'll be dusting of the cobwebs on my 15-22 shortly. Finally replaced my el cheapo red dot with a C-more. So much better!
