You all ought to make that a regular monthly event.I recall Guncraft used to get some huge crowds on Sat. nights for the IPSC matches.They just had a bad habit of not sending the classifier scores in however.

[2Alpha]

Actually Gunnys has a match every Thursday night starting at 7 pm. $15 entry fee. $50 first place, $25 second place. The type of match varies from bowling pin match, .22 match, to hybrid tactical matches. The hybrid matches are held on the second Thursday of the month.

Hm. You know, it is bad that, even with all three of my magazines and one in the tube, I would not be able to meet the maximum proposed round-per-stage. And given that have 8, 7, and 6 round magazines, and given IDPA rules, I would be stuck at 19 total rounds for all stages. *sighs* I need better guns.

[Guest Boomhower]

I need more guns.

There, fixed it for ya.

[2Alpha]

Linoge- for this match you will not be limited to the number of magazines on your belt. Looking at your mags, (8,7,6 rounders) with one in the chamber, you would be carrying 22 rounds. That will probably be the max for any one stage, plus I imagine someone will loan you an extra mag when it's your turn. While everybody needs more guns, all you really need for this match is one more magazine. Come on join the fun.

[2Alpha]

Note- pre-registration not necessary, but it will insure you have a slot in the 60-man field.

[Guest Linoge]

Well, count me in, 2Alpha. I may run dry on a few courses (something tells me you do not keep spare PPS mags around - those are, perhaps, the only things more rare than the actual firearm), but at least it should pass a day or so.

AKA MJL?????

Have seen this almost exact thread on another forum.

[2Alpha]

I am trying to get the word out to as many as possible, so yes, you will see it on some other forums. I would appreciate any suggestions on where else to post the information. TIA.

[Guest Traumaslave]

Well, I know you'll have a shooter from at least as far as Cincinnati.

Guncraft was cool, I shot down there years ago, many times. I haven't fired any of my handguns in years.

Them was good times, Guncraft, Oak Ridge, Asheville, WRSCC...

One weekend I shot Asheville on Saturday morning, Guncraft that night and the old Oak Ridge club range on Sunday.

Sorry, taking a trip down memory lane... didn't mean to abduct you all.

[2Alpha]

My first competitive shooting was done at the Guncraft matches back in the early 90's. Always did enjoy those matches.

There is a difference at Gunnys indoor range compared to the Guncraft matches. At Gunnys concrete walls divide the range into 3 separate bays. Therefore we will be able to run each stage independently of the other other stages. We can also create somewhat more interesting stages using wooden walls and curtains to create hallways and rooms.

[Guest Traumaslave]

Any word on how many sign up with 2 wks to go? Hope to see a big turn out. More $$$ for the prize table!

[2Alpha]

Numbers I'm hearing indicate 40+ shooters, but I anticipate an additional 10-15 shooters (or more) will show up.

[Guest Traumaslave]

What are the chances of running through the stages with an MP5? Wouldn't want to score for prize, just shoot the course for practice?

[2Alpha]

I don't think there would be a problem with that. Come on down!

[2Alpha]

Stages are set, round count will be right at a 100 for the 6 stages. Gunny is setting up the prize table - looks like it will include at least one 1911, shotguns, and some other firearms.

[Guest Linoge]

What are the prizes for those of us who suck mightily looking like?

See you in a bit!

[Guest Traumaslave]

FANTASTIC SHOOT!!!! Got to give it to Gunny's crew, they handled their first big match well. Good time had by all, nice prize table, good conversation sitting around. 23 shooters. I didn't do as bad as I thought I might, actually did alot better than I thought I would. 8th over all in a field with 5 pro shooters. Looking forward to the next one.

[Guest DaG]

First Place Gold - Springfield XD that got swapped out for a Smith & Wesson MP

First Place Silver (8th overall) - Keltec pistol

Lots of fun, fairly efficient without a lot of waiting around, don't miss it next time.

[Guest Traumaslave]

I took the Keltec. :koolaid: Also had a nice cross bow, lots of hunting stuff like a trail camera, a box of various assorted items, high dollar deer urine, big cleaning kit, load bearing vest, BlackHawk camel pac,,,,,, the list goes on. Had the list filled out to 60?????? I can't imagine how that table would have looked.
