    Do we have to be there the entire time 12-5?
    Is there any sort of schedule or can I show up for a couple hours and have some fun?

    Show up, sign up, maybe wait a little, then shoot.
    Very low key and welcoming- lots of fun.

    Bring more ammo than you think you need.
    You are shooting at 6 steel "pins" in five rounds for a total of 30 rounds if you never miss. You can load 6 rounds in each mag, unlimited mags. You have 30 seconds maximum per round. Depending on how many matches you shoot will determine how much you need. It looks easier than it is. Tons of fun though.

    Just stop by anytime during the afternoon. If you only shoot one round of five relays, you might be there a half hour or so, depending on the wait.

    If you never miss, you'll only need 30 rounds. Bring 50, or 100 if you really suck. Actually, you have only 30 seconds to shoot 6 rounds, reload with 6 more, and clear any you missed with the first 6. If you don't clear the rack with twelve rounds and still have time to reload with 6 more, you should probably slow down and aim! So a worst case of 12 rounds in each of 5 relays means 60 rounds is about the worst case.

    I really want to do this again. I tried it for the first time a few months ago and really sucked at it, but everyone was great about helping and giving pointers and I had a great time. That's really what it's all about. . There are only 1 or 2 people that take it REALLY seriously. Mostly everyone just has a ball with it. One suggestion would be NOT to do the rimfire with a SA that you can only reload 1 at a time with. It was fun just nearly impossible to reload if you don't hit them all. Go and have fun!!

    Thanks to Stemmers Run for a great event today!!! Those bowling pins gave me fits, much harder than it looks :D

    My best round was a 5:37!!! Need to work on trigger pull and not jerking the gun.

    Had another great time there. Did much better than last time. Best match was with my Ruger .45 even with some FTF issues. Tons of fun today.
    I still think they should have one more of these before it gets too cold!!

    Sunday was my first time. I shot 2 Rimfire pistols and my Walther P1.
    Now I have some personal scores to beat for next time.
    Thx

    That looked like a lot of fun. They were setting up as I was leaving, and even invited my friend (Guest) and me to stay and shoot, but we didn't have time. Next Time I'll shoot for sure
