Are there any INGOers who have never done this and would like to try it out or learn more? Maybe you're a little too nervous, or you are just curious about competitive shooting. Definitely consider FNS. Drop me a PM at least, even if you are still on the fence about coming out.

I am interested in this and I am off today .
Are there direction to the location posted anywhere?
I would like to come and check it out before I actually shoot . I don't want to do anything too stupid.

You know it Joe, Gotta keep her happy once in a while. If I wasn't shooting USPSA on Sunday I would be down.

Marion County Fish & Game Association
Look under Club Info / Directions

Bring your gun and gear Riverman. You're gonna want to shoot.

 

[riverman67]

Thanks bwframe
I'll try to bring Mike too

 

[Soundslikejosh]

I will be in attendance tonight and hope to see as many of the regulars as possible. I will be moving to PA in August and this will be my LAST Friday Night Steel. See you guys there!

How's that 465 west construction mess going? Traffic jams?
Coming from out of town, would it be better to cut over to 65 then come south on 465?

 

[riverman67]

Looks like Mike and I are coming I am going to have to buy 1 more Magazine on my way

Better, but they're still not done (I don't think construction in Indy is ever really "done"). I don't normally travel that side of town at rush hour, but generally speaking, things are smoother coming north than going south on 465 at that time of day.

Probably not.

Riverman, like Bwframe said, bring your gear because you'll want to shoot. This match is about as user-friendly as it gets. 100% of the people I know who simply watched their first time regretted not bringing their gear and just shooting the thing. 465 is not too awful bad right now. The worst of it is 10th street right now. I would think you'd be fine coming up on 465, but up 65 and then back south might not be a bad idea.

On a related note, I got a call from Mike @ Fort Liberty this morning. My 870 is ready so I'll be rocking it tonight as well. Let the crap talkin' continue

 

[Cwood]

I expect a full report on that front sight!

 

[VUPDblue]

You'll get it. I'm picking it up on my lunch break.

What sights did you have put on, and how did your 'smith get from 10 days to 2??

 

[VUPDblue]

I put on the TruGlo TFO (Tritium Fiber Optic). I thought it was a really great idea for a sight on a defense/combat shotgun. Works in low or no light and is very robust and easy to acquire, yet doesn't let your opponent see any of the light. I don't know how he went from 10 days to 2, but I'm not going to complain. FWIW, it was Mike Mangold from Fort Liberty in Avon. It just so happened that when I dropped it off to him on Tues. morning I also ran into him at the new member meeting that night at MCFG!

 

[Joe Williams]

Current forecast shows "isolated thunderstorms" possible tonight (30% chance), so it looks like we'll be fine. If it is raining at setup time or if there's a strong chance in the forecast, we typically shoot from under the "lid" so nobody gets wet.

Those looking for an excuse to wuss out on FNS will have to use something other than the weather... The "exploding Glock" excuse offered earlier in this thread set the bar pretty high.

How bout "I shot all my spare .38 ammo last weekend, haven't bought bullets to load more, and am out of gas money anyway?" LOL.

So I guess we'll both be trying out the TFO's tonight. I just had one put on the Kimber.

You already know that's the best thing to do
