LAST Outdoor Rock Your Glock Saturday October 11, 2014 at the Lincoln Izaak Walton League

[OnTheFly]

The last outdoor Rock Your Glock of 2014 will be held in just one week (Saturday October 11th) at the Lincoln Izaak Walton range near Bennet Nebraska.

It is a LOT of fun, and a great challenge.  Come test your skills.  New to guns/handguns and not confident about your abilities?  Been around handguns for a while, but haven't perfected your abilities?  That's okay! The most important thing is that you are safe.  There are lots of people (shooters, range officers, staff) who would be happy to give you suggestions to improve your abilities.  All you have to do is ask questions.  One thing is for sure, you won't improve unless you determine what you need to work on, and there is nothing like trying to shoot quickly and accurately to expose what your training needs to focus on.    Regardless of your level, you will have fun and benefit from this type of shooting.  Of course you will also enjoy the camaraderie of other shooting enthusiasts.

Don't do it Sean ,  there are steel targets you have to shoot ;-)

RYG is a good time. 

Have to aim, though.  This is NOT a case where you can miss fast enough to win.

But what if I was SO fast?

[Chris Z]

But what if I was SO fast?

Since the courses are par time..... your score might not be real good then, BUT I bet you look cool and it will sound cool going fast

[SeanN]

Well, hey, all that matters is looking awesome to the camera and spectators right? Plus if I catch the round while unloading and showing clear I can look like a real pro.

If anyone needs any extra new Glock mags, I'll have some with me at the RYG match Saturday. I have G42, G17, G19, G21, G22, G23 and G30 (9rd) mags in stock. $25 each..... Shoot me an email with what you want, or just look me up at the match, I'll be working as a RO. You can never have too many magazines for your pistols!!!

[bkoenig]

I can't make it....gotta RO a CMP .22 match right next door.  If anyone wants to stop over and say hi feel free.  Or even better, bring your .22 rifle and shoot both (assuming you get done with RYG in time).
