E-mail sent last night.

Thanks for all your efforts that go into setting up these matches.

 

[BenL]

Yeah, I'm in.

Great stages, interesting challenges, fun people to shoot with, no hassle.

It's hard to imagine a better set-up.

 

[06MegaCTD]

yeah i should still be here in MD so i will be in.

 

[Finn]

hey KAC think that this match might be a good one for Hallie to possibly cut her teeth on?

 

[kac]

It would be great for both of you guys to do. You both are completely safe, so at this point it's just familiarization and getting comfortable with the format.

Lewistown is a great venue for you both to take that next step. My prediction is that once you do a shoot there, you'll be hooked.

There's a very nice mix of some superior shooters there with some intermediates, and every match has some less experienced people as well. They're treated great and seem to definitely come back the next time.

My strong recommendation is that you both email Bob and let him know you're interested.

I second that. I am no 3 gun master (and my score shows it ) but this match is a lot of fun and a good place to get some good experience with no pressure.

 

[Finn]

well ok then I will talk to her about it today and see what she thinks about doing it.

 

[BenL]

Has anyone heard back from Bob? I emailed him, but got no response. (I just want to make sure I get a spot...)

I hope there's sammiches and brownies again. How many 3 guns have you shot that had that?

I haven't but I would expect him to wait until he had a few more shooters so he could do a mass e-mail.

Those brownies were double chocolatey delicious.

 

[06MegaCTD]

i am mad i didn't buy like 10 of those brownies before i left, i am craving them

 

[kac]

BTW, none of you "friends" told me about the brownies.

Not that I need any!

Did everybody see Bob is promising lots of challenging stages with lots of movers? I'm really looking forward to it.

What do you think Ben, Heavy Metal this time?

 

[BenL]

What do you think Ben, Heavy Metal this time?

If the rifle count is under 40-50, then yes.

30 round AR mags only hold 10 rounds of 'wulf, so I'll have to wear my thigh rig so I can carry 5-6 mags.

Does Lewistown have HM shooters only hit each target once, or will it still require two shots from HM? (some places only require 1 shot on target for HM...) At 400grs a bullet, I can't imagine what would need two shots.

I'm also using a brass catcher.

 

[BenL]

It's in 2 days. Just a reminder...

I decided to drop the pistol only stages and am going to run 5 stages as follows: Shotgun and Pistol; Shotgun Only; Pistol and Rifle; Rifle and Pistol; Shotgun, Pistol and Rifle. Minimum round counts are as follows: 41 shotgun, 57 rifle, 63 pistol. Be sure to bring extra for misses and reshoots.

Shotgun ammo is birdshot only and no steel jacketed or steel/penetrator core for rifle ammo. You will be shooting one of our poppers with the rifle and while its AR500 steel, no m855, no m995 (as if you have any) and I'd prefer no Russian as the jacket is a bi-metal composition which includes steel.

 

[herr.baer]

Already putting the gear together.

 

[BenL]

Who's shooting from mdshooters (besides me and Scott)? Kev? Finn?

 

[Finn]

no not i BenL... im sad to say sorry to report

 

[herr.baer]

Well thanks to 83 being shut down for an accident I was not able to make it. The delay would have made me late. I hope everyone had a great time.

 

[BenL]

Yeah, I was stuck in that backup for 45 minutes. I was about 200 yards from the accident- I must have missed it by 30 seconds.

It was a great match. A few new movers were in it, including one piece of steel that triggered 3 clay launchers and two pieces of steel that triggered "rabbits" (rolling clays.) I shot heavy metal division with the Beowulf.
