HHRP Steel Valley - Monday, May 13th

[GNRPowdeR]

Edited 5/7/13

This is a NEW steel shoot that I'm organizing at Hoosier Hills Rifle & Pistol.

Heavily modelled around FNS (with permission - Thanks chizzle, Don Parks, et al), our steel shoot will be three stages, shooting each stage three times. We're only allowing pistols of common calibers that are non-magnum. i.e. - No Rifles, No Carbines, No Shotguns

The registration time will start no later than 5:45 PM with Safety Orientation at 6:00 PM.
If you miss the Safety Orientation, you don't shoot that night.

The Steel Valley shoot will be at our Outdoor Range, near Knawbone, IN. For those with GPS, you can try 551 Camp Moneto Rd, Nashville, IN 47448
The map to this range is on our club site - HHRP Site For Map

I'll be updating this post as more info gets posted on our club site & might include a FAQ as questions roll in.

Good luck on your new match! From the looks of it, the match will be held between Columbus and Nashville. A link to the map from the Hoosier Hills site is shown below:

I am gonna try to make this. Sounds like a good time and not too far for me.

Are you planning to have different divisions like FNS. And if so can you bring and shoot 2 guns? Like 9mm and a .22 pistol?

That's the plan! I'm hoping to include the pistol divisions that are at the FNS.

Also, I appreciate chizzle & x10 posting links to the HHRP Site. Wondering if the links I posted in the announcement post didn't work?

Best of luck. I hope I can shoot this match one day.

Your links worked, they're just small. If you want to announce something that people can't miss, you've got to ANNOUNCE IT.

Graig,

Thanks for pulling this together and many thanks to the MCFG guys for all their help !!

Currently, the entry to the range is not car friendly (creek crossing). Trucks and SUVs are fine. We hope to fix the crossing soon but, wanted to let everyone know.

Thanks,

Craig

There has been a Little improvement on the mound of dirt, several cars have trimmed off the pf it and we drove a 2000 Chevy Cavelier across it Friday,

We talked with a Contractor Thursday about cleaning it up

Do you have to be a club member to shoot these shoots?

 

[x10]

Its my understanding that these are open to all shooters, and the point of this type of match is to get people out and into the competition environment.

 

[Bcampbell]

Are you allowing shooters to shoot two guns since there may only be three stages?

 

[GNRPowdeR]

That's the plan...

At the moment, the plan is to see how many shooters we've got for the night and if we have room, open things up for people to run a second pistol. I don't expect there to be so many that we won't have time for two, but just in case...

I plan to be there. It will be nice to paticipate in a steels match without having to drive to Indy.

Hello
I forgot to ask in previous post, is there an age limit?
How young is allowed to shoot? I know the rules say 18 and under however some ranges does have a cut off.
Thanks
Brian

The way I'm going to answer isn't with a "years old", but still hopefully going to answer your question. The shooter will need to be able to "run their gun" without a person helping them. Getting the firearm ready, loading, shooting, clearing malfunctions, unloading & showing clear are all things the shooter needs to be able to handle without major assistance from the RO.

As for insurance reasons, I believe under 18 with parent / legal guardian.
