Speed Steel at Tri County Gun Club

[Sig sour]

my best times were with the pistol to the left. on one occasion i outscored the hands down fastest competitor at tri county. its a great platform if the ammo cooperates.

I only wish... it will take a rotary cannon to keep pace with you Mr. Shack.

You're too kind, obviously it's the booze talking....

 

[Sig sour]

might be a little as we're 13 hours out I've had to stop. I might get less kind the closer we get to "standby"

I think I'll have to find a club that operates under steel challenge rules which require a hammer down first shot in production as that was the thing I was most wanting to work on (and i don't think i will get home early enough to tear apart my gun and switch safeties). Perhaps next month I'll have to find a 5th mag for my .22/45 and shoot rimfire for fun.

I'm not sure if I misunderstood some of this conversation, but I wanted to offer a comment that may be relevant and help clarify something. On a DA/SA handgun that also has a manual safety you can start hammer down (decocked by mechanism if one exists, or hammer completely lowered if no mechanism exists - consistent with USPSA Production rules), or cocked with the manual safety engaged.

Best,

ac

Thanks for the clarification. That's what I was thinking but didn't want to get carried away with my reply before you had a chance to chime in.

Thanks for the clarification, the wife just informed me that I am committed to do kid stuff tomorrow morning but I'll be out next month.

Well, I've embarrassed myself quite a bit in my life already, so I'll pass this time on Tri-County.

The Wolverton Range is OPEN if you want to observe. Then, I'll see what I need to prepare for before I bring someone else down as a team-mate.

Thanks for the offer, though. I appreciate it.

Come to Wolverton Mt.'s Open Speed Steel Practice next weekend. $10 to shoot, and plan on shooting and not just watching. Bring a 10/22 or a pistol / PCC with at least 5 magazines and get in on the fun. (If you don't have quite 5 magazines that's okay, your squad mates will stuff rounds in for you but it's best if you have them). Bring a empty chamber indicator too it you have it, you can borrow one for sure if you don't.

I'm serious about planning on shooting. The gang there is low-key, newbie friendly and would welcome you without qualification. And there are some good shooters there that are happy to help.

I'll be there with my 14 year old daughter and it will be her first time, so you won't be alone. I'd be happy to have you shoot on my squad as well, not that I'm any type of expert but I do know the drill and am happy to help.

Man that triple tap stage was bonkers fast.

I choked pretty hard on that one. You killed it though Reno! Nice!

 

[spookshack]

For the record, I blame the local paparazzi on my poor performance.....

 

[Member 34319]

Somebody's closer...

Just kidding.

You'll get a bump next month, I'll be moving.

@BWH should have some very cool pics of the match. Looking forward to seeing them via email.

Talk about "speed" shooting... he took over 2100 pics using burst, operated via his cell phone, about 5 frames a second. He is doing some editing/deleting bad/blurry ones.
soon as I get something, will figure best way to share!

It's really cool that he came out to "shoot" with us. Can't wait to see his finished work!

 

[Member 34319]

Ya, I'm stoked to see some brass in the air pics.

 

[BWH]

He got one of "speedy" 86K5 at practical pistol showing 2 in the air and the bolt closing with one feeding in. pretty cool pic!

 

[Sig sour]

is 86k5 a fast shooter?

 

[86k5krawler]

Only on sundays

I don't take rejection well. I'm still sore from the last time I was told to leave by a so-called RSO last month because I was unescorted by a member. A long drive for nothing.

They have their rules, but it'd be nice if they held this as an Open event.
