OK, I've carved out sometime for the March 20 match.

Can you give me a sense of ammo load out I need to round up (get it, round up? Folks, it doesn't get any better, so just laugh already).

Will this be one of the larger bay events? If so, I need to rethink my choice of optic on the XCR.

Lots?

There is one pistol stage, one shotgun stage, one rifle/shotgun stage, and one rifle/pistol stage.
Shotgun/rifle on bay5, Rifle/pistol on bay 6, shotgun in bay 2, pistol in bay 3. We aren't using the 100 or 300 yard bays yet---100 yard is next month. 300 is later in the summer.

If you get all "A" hits, you only have to shoot each one once....saves on ammo!

March 20th? Wow, I was thinking the first match was in April. Guess I'd better make sure all my gear is ready.

Joe, I usually bring 100 rounds for each gun. I've never come close to using that much, but it's good to have extra in case you have to reshoot a stage.

I'm about 95% sure I'll make it to the March 20th match. If anyone from the Lincoln area wants to carpool let me know.

I was looking forward to going to these this year at ENGC, but my company decided to move me to Texas next week. The Zombie match last fall was a lot of fun.

First Multigun Match at ENGC this year: March 20th
Second Multigun: April 17th

And just to make sure you don't get bored just shooting the same thing all the time, in May, on the 15th, we are having a man-vs-man steel challenge match. Pistol match in the morning, double-elimination tournament; shotgun match in the afternoon, single elimination.

We usually end up with a 4x4 (or 6x6) team shoot at the end.

Bring LOTS of ammo to that one...

Man-vs-man is a blast---and REALLY stressful at the same time. You need to drop your steel before your opponent, and once they start shooting it is hard to NOT just blast away.

There are different pistol divisions (limited and open---sometimes we have production also, but it depends on how many people show up for it) and both pump and semi-auto shotgun divisions.

So, show of hands. Who's planning on going to the 3 gun on Sunday? Brian, you put together a Lincoln crew to come up?

I'm a maybe.......... Daughter has a Volleyball tournament that day, don't know what time yet.... If it is an afternoon one, I'll be at ENGC

I'll be there. I have a couple guys I've been badgering to come along. One has a conflict and can't make it, the other is a maybe. I have a standing offer if anyone wants to try it they can use my guns, just provide the ammo.

bkoenig · « **Reply #49 on:** March 18, 2011, 06:57:50 AM »

Well, both of my guys ended up having conflicts so as of now I'm coming by myself. If anyone wants to carpool from Lincoln let me know.

A big thank you to Terry, Ken, Chris, Tim, Tony, Ardi, and Doug for the great match and fun stages.

Despite an equipment snafu on the first stage, and mental fail-to-feed on the third, I had more fun shooting than I have in a long time.

Can't wait for the next one!

I had a ton of fun. ENGC put on a great match as usual yesterday. I tried out some new gear and was happy with how it performed. The only problems I had were between my ears. Nothing like screwing up a good stage because you forget to shoot one of the targets.

Joe, what squad did you shoot in? I was in the first one.

Well, I'm hooked - can't wait for the next shoot. ENPS put on a great match yesterday. Thanks to all who helped it run so smoothly.

@bkoenig

Me, too. I was the chap who made the brilliant decision to use his pump gun instead of his competition shotgun because I forgot the sidesaddle.

Then, I learned the hard way that an 18" barrel + cylinder bore + No. 8 shot won't knock the plates off the Texas star, regardless of how many times you hit them.

Was your new gear that sharp-looking 935?

bkoenig · « **Reply #54 on:** March 22, 2011, 12:21:18 PM »

Ok, so that was you. That was crazy seeing the lead shot bounce off the plates without knocking them over. I was just glad you went before me so I knew to change to a modified choke! I was shooting the 930. It ran really well. I had one stovepipe that was easy to clear. I've heard that the 930's take a couple hundred rounds to break in and be really reliable with light loads. I had a Choate extension on it before and had a lot of feeding problems. Once I ponied up for a Nordic tube it ran a lot better.

Glad everyone had a good time! The next ENGC Multigun match is April 17th, so put that on your calendars!

In the meantime, feel free to come up this Sunday for the USPSA pistol match. Always a good time....

(And practice up---the man-vs-man match is coming up in May.)

Ok, who's going to the ENGC match on the 17th? As always, I'm willing to carpool with any Lincoln shooters.

Three stages this Sunday----one shotgun, one pistol/shotgun, and one pistol/rifle. The pistol/rifle is on the 100 yard range, so make sure you know where your rifle hits from 5 yards out to 100. (Bill is being good enough to bring out his reactive steel for the distance hits, so we won't have to walk all the way out there to reset.)

Each stage will probably NOT be short. Bring plenty of ammo!

Multigun match at ENGC July 3rd. I'm planning on going. Anyone else?
