Steel Match 08/26/2012 Music City Tactical Shooters

[HOGNUT]

We will be hosting a steel match this Sunday (8/26). Stages will be posted to the web tomorrow night. Hope to see you there!

Rick, you will not be so lucky as this past Saturday. It is "ON LIKE DONKEY KONG"!

[Mechanic_X]

"Loser leave town" match?

Should be fun.

[CatsEye]

Like I haven't seen you shoot or should I say miss steel before. I may even shoot my .45 again just to make it fair.

[HOGNUT]

Keep smack talking and the man vs man will come back. You and me all day long. I'm your Huckleberry!

The steel matches consist of falling and static steel targets. Pepper Poppers(big and little), 8" head plates, colt poppers, regular plate rack, polish plate rack, Texas stars, and assorted static targets of different sizes. When the stages come out take a look. It definitely will focus your speed and accuracy. And is a ton of fun.

Shooting steel can be a little frustrating but it is instant gratification to hear that "ding" on a good hit.

Dang. Other than speed and accuracy I have this shooting thing down.

Shotgun/pistol?

[HOGNUT]

You can shoot shotgun or pistol or both(different entries).

I purchased 5 dozen Krispy Kreme donuts that will be available to all competitors for FREE! I know some of you will be pigs but try to restrain yourself and allow everyone to get some. 1 dozen comes to me.

[HOGNUT]

Entries: 1. Pistol or 2. Shotgun or 3. Separate Entries for Both

Pistol Divisions is based on Mag Capacity: SSP-10 +1, ESP-High Capacity, CDP-Optics

Shotgun Divisions is based on Type: Pump, Semi-Auto, Open

All long guns require chamber flag while not in use. Can be purchased on the range.

[Mechanic_X]

Holy cow! You're trying to kill the score keeper.

Shotguns should have to start empty. To make it fair.

[DMark]

Hmmmmmm.....

82 rounds of birdshot.

Could be a good tune up for Dove Season Opening Day on 1 Sep.

[Guest SpicyMchaggis]

I don't think I'll be able to make it back from Bristol in time for this one. Bummer.

[Mechanic_X]

82 rounds minimum. Better bring 200 .

If you have not shot an all steel match you should come and give it a go. Nothing like hearing the "ping" and seeing them fall .

[bulm540]

looks like fun. I may come out for this one.

[DMark]

.... If you have not shot an all steel match you should come and give it a go.....

Oh Yea...., I've shot some steel.

[HOGNUT]

I will be on the range in the morning at 8 AM to begin setup of the stages. I know of one other confirmed person with possible 3 more. If anyone is in the area that can lend a few moments(many hands make light work), John and I would appreciate the help.

Remember, Allan's lovely wife is bringing donuts....no coffee for breakfast on Sunday morning.

[Mechanic_X]

Everything is set up. All that is left is putting the head plates on the Texas Stars and Polish plate racks. The stages are amazing.

Come down and shoot!

Do I need concealment? Does an M&P pro with trigger job still go in SSP? And do I have to retain dropped mags? Thanks!

Nothing about the steel matches we do has any rules associated with IDPA. No concealment is required ever on the 4th Sunday.

Entries: 1. Pistol or 2. Shotgun or 3. Separate Entries for Both

Pistol Divisions is based on Mag Capacity: SSP-10 +1, ESP-High Capacity, CDP-Optics

Shotgun Divisions is based on Type: Pump, Semi-Auto, Open

All long guns require chamber flag while not in use. Can be purchased on the range.

[Mechanic_X]

I would add; there will be no cover calls. Just shoot them as you see them from the shooters box. Reload as necessary. No need to retain mags. As many mags as you need on your belt(or in pockets).

[Guest Wes11]

Thanks fellas, see ya tomorrow

[KaNuckles]

It sounded like a grenade throwing match over there today.

[HOGNUT]

Shot some steel today, missed more than I hit. Thank you Chandler for the holster and ammo loan. Good thing today range is cleaned and I got a new M&P from a good friend for a good deal. Next match is an IDPA match to get ready for the Tri-States. I will see if it will be the M&P or the Witness.
