You got beat???? I don't believe it. Want me to break their wrists for you?

No need! I just have to learn to shoot. Or maybe I am gonna have to break out the .22's. Nah, I'll stick with the real guns! Good to hear from you Beau.

We had a great squad and had a great time at BW3's. OK all you "ladies" that couldn't get time off for the after party: hike up your panties and get your PASS for next month's BW3's after party.

And Ms. Kinnards .. I hope you shoot next month.

Hehe, yeah I'm already lining up a babysitter for next month and the wife is coming with me so no pass will be needed. We'll only be restricted by baby sitter timelines.


I plan on her running my 15-22 and I'm either going to run my 1911 or my 870 if I can get it (my 870) up to snuff between now and then.

I'm just curious how the shotgun loads did on the hostage situation though.... hmmm...

 

[VUPDblue]

LMK in advance if you end up running the 870. I'll break mine out and shoot with ya.

I was wondering this myself

Shotgun(s) as in plural? I think there was only one shotty shooter, and he was in my squad.

The way the target array was set up, some splatter on the no-shoot target was inevitable. It was up to the RO to decide whether the majority of the shot column hit the "shoot" target first, or not. If it did, no penalty.

166 post and only 1 video? I know someone else got some video or pictures of the new stages

I had the misfortune of having the hostage stage as my first station. That means the first shot I took for the evening (and in my case first shot I have taken in about 3 months) was at a little round plate with a hostage behind it. I hit the hostage on either the 2nd or 3rd pass but not the first so I cannot blame it on needing a sighter shot. I got one penalty AND I killed my chance to be able to come up with a good excuse. Overall I placed on the line between the top and middle third, for as much as I get out to shoot I was pleased. You cannot beat that entertainment for $15 plus ammo and thats in addition to any training benefit.

I'd be willing to shoot mine again too.

I haven't had my 870 out in over a year, maybe its time she get some love too. Y'all are about to talk me into the 870 class.

We had a blast (no pun intended) in August when we had an 870/1100 squad.

I have an old beater that I can bring out.

 

[VUPDblue]

Bring your beater. Bring your helmet too if you plan on going "full retard" again

Hypothetically speaking...

On a totally unrelated subject.... Does anybody know of companies that make Texas stars? All I can find is the one made by MGM Targets (the maker of our plate rack) but I'm curious if there are any others out there that people have seen. I thought Action Target or Arntzen used to make one, but I can't seem to find anything.

you could put 2 or 3 in one bay, that way one shooter could do the full 2 or 3 courses of fire in a row before having to stop everything and go downrange and replace them. Probably wouldn't take much more time than shooting one course of fire and having to stop and replace them each time. I'm sure that only made sense in my mind.

I like the way you think, however I don't believe that the Texas Star targets are inexpensive...

That's exactly what I said!

Surely the frame wouldn't be too difficult to make....

I know of a machine shop that MAY be able to give it a try

That's pretty easy. Make the star stage an option. An extra $5 for those who participate. Depending on participation, allow more guns. I'd shoot two or even three, if allowed.

Why don't you have said machine shop draw something up and give me an estimated price?
