Peacemaker Kahr handgun (and PCC) match 3/16

photoracer · Mar 18, 2019

Well shooting with a blurry eye and limiting myself to long guns (RFRO AND PCCO) I still managed to finish exactly as normal, right behind GM Tony R. and his 2 rifles as the only Master in the field. Not my best times but I had some moments and they were not too far off. Guess I will see about maybe doing PCCO at Super Steel.

yeah the supersteels are great. a shooting gallery for those of us kids that never grew up.

So these don't appear to be a high round count stages. I'm thinking I'll shoot single stack and limited. Already signed up for limited in May.

i'm also doing am and pm. for folks that like steel challenge, they're doing that am and pm also. for someone brand new, could do the morning steel challenge to get your feet wet, then afternoon kahr. or come out and watch morning kahr and do the afternoon.

for steel challenge, you draw and shoot five pieces of steel in various arrays, no movement except for one stage that you move six feet, and no reloading on the clock.

for kahr, you run around and shoot various cardboard and steel targets. low to no pressure, all fun, bring whatever gun you have with a decent holster, pcc allowed.

i think my morning squad is full, but afternoons are generally pretty open. my offer stands, any newbies that want to do the afternoon match can squad with me and i'll show you the ropes and you will have a lot of fun.

......and there's going to be a taco truck. Something about the idea of shooting in a sombrero is just plain interesting. Sombreros and crossed ammo bandoliers?

If it's as windy as it was this past Saturday, those sombreros are going to be turning into kites! With all of the dust flying around, I started getting flashbacks to SASS and shooting through a haze of BP smoke!

I am planning on going for the morning events. As a complete noob would you guys recommend the steel shoot or the Khar? In addition, even if I only do the AM event, can I use more than one gun?
Thanks

the steel challenge match will be a lot less complex. five steel plates on each stage, you draw and shoot and repeat that 4-5 times. reload between strings, so not on the clock. helps improve good solid fundamentals. no movement/running, just stand and shoot. there is one steel challenge stage where you shoot two plates then move 6-10' and shoot the other three, but other than that no movement.

in the kahr match, you draw and run around and shoot the various steel and cardboard targets. you most likely will have to reload while doing so. at least imo, it's a lot more fun. but because you're running around and reloading on the move, need to be more mindful of muzzle control and trigger finger control. generally muzzle must be pointed downrange and finger must be outside the triggerguard (i index on the slide) while moving, reloading, fixing a jam, etc.

if you want to do the afternoon kahr match, i'll make sure we squad together and i can show you the ropes. you can come up early and watch some or all of the morning match to check it out.

Thanks for the info and offer. Unfortunately my schedule will only let me do the morning. I will probably sign up for the steel shot this time and if there is some down time watch the Khar match.

The Kahr match is just like the last part of the class we took. Just don't do what I did, shooting one handed, if you aren't required to.

eh, wind is ok when shooting handguns. and most sombreros have chinstrap/cord. tie her down tight and yell "arriba arriba".
