Our last match of the year.... Hoping for no rain as our south range had a bunch of dirt work done and now there is no grass!!! Any rain in the day before and that range won't work.
Yes all brands of guns welcome.

This is a great competition for those who are just starting (never competed before) all the way up to Master class shooters. No holsters, no shooting on the move, no complicated inch thick rule book. Just a fun safe pistol match.
After the match this afternoon, once the ranges are cleaned and put away.... And the scores have been calculated..... We will do the raffle drawing for the brand new XDM Package. (Don't need to be present to win) Tickets are only $5 each.
Hope to see many of you at the range!
-
I will be there, my son and I are going to celebrate at this shoot for his birthday. Looks like the weather will be great
-
What time does it start? I found it is at the Lincoln Ikes Range south of Hwy 2 off 134 street, but no time was listed. I would like to meet up with a few of you guys there. Maybe a mini meeting?
-
You can shoot anytime between 7:30 am and about 1 pm
I plan on around 9am
-
Sounds like a good opportunity to take a bike ride.
-
You can show up to sign up and shoot any time between 8am and no later than noon!!!
We have to be off the range no later than 1pm
I will have a lot going on, having to do the stats at the range during the match to finalize the winners so we can draw for the pistol in the afternoon. Would like it if you could make it down!
-
I will be there, any chance we can set up a table to sign up members for NFOA?
-
There is an extra shooting bench right next to where we do registrations, if you want to man it....... It is all yours! I have too many other things to worry about with the match, but would love to have you there signing people up!
-
Consider it done. Anyone want to help or have a banner I can use?
-
I can help after I shoot. The NFOA banner was just being ordered, so no banner for this event. I can print some flyers and I will still have some NFOA stickers available for a donation, but the pile is getting low
-
I will be riding my motorcycle down, so won't be able to carry much in the saddle bags. We will need chairs I suppose. See you there Dan and Chris.
-
There will be some chairs there
-
I will bring a small cooler with some water and pop
-
Hey Chris - in golf scrambles a person can buy mulligans. Just a little creative thinking here, but since there will be some who have never shot in an event like this (me included) , can a rookie buy mulligans in case two shots per target are enough (ha!). Looking forward to coming out, meeting some of you and having some fun.
-
Kim and I will come and can stay to help man a table or do whatever you need us to do. I doubt either of us will shoot so we can be free labor all day for whatever you need us for.
We will most likely ride up, so we won't have room to bring anything, not even spare mags or ammo, unless I can talk one of our friends with saddle bags to ride up with us and shoot.
-
I am going to try to make it down there, may even ride the KLR as well, we'll see.

No mulligans, but you can tell all your friends you won the event and shot a perfect score!

Squeeze some ammo in your pockets and tell me what gun and mags to bring for you both.
I have a box of Glocks to choose from or a few other things too!

Two words, Back Pack.

That would look WAY out of place while riding our rat rod shovel head.
It'd be like a cowboy ridin' a bull while wearing capri pants.
-
Thanks for the offer Chris, that is really cool of you, but really, all we would really need I guess is a case to put stuff in while we are there and maybe a couple extra G17 mags. I shoot better with my 1911, but I could carry my Glock like I usually do in my concealment holster on the way there and wear a jacket to throw some ammo in. I could wear my eyes on the bike, and maybe I could roll my ears up in the sweatshirt I keep bungeed to my triple trees.
Kim is a revolver girl, but she doesn't really enjoy the competition thing, but I will talk to her and let you know what we finally decide.
Thanks again for the offer, but we will enjoy ourselves just as much signing people up for the NFOA and mingling.
-
I hear them chest rigs are good for hauling some mags and ammo ;D
-
Jay, this is a KLR650, but I'm sure you could whip up something similar for the Hog.
Plenty of storage, and it should be an LB430-approved CCW storage compartment. ;D
Can you say 20mm ammo can?

Rick knows how to haul lots of things on his "HAWG". He took a trip a few years ago hauling a briefcase and I found a pic from back then.
Aren't you gonna leave me a tip, Rick?

The beemer is full of gas, and ready to roll out the barn door at 5:30 in the morning, see you guys around 8.
-
Thanks again for having the shoot today, had a great time! Also enjoyed getting meeting some of the people on the blog.
-
Here's the results: http://rockyourglock.tripod.com/id6.html (http://rockyourglock.tripod.com/id6.html)
Looks like I placed 24th out of 39 entries. Not terrible for my first ever competition, I suppose.
Had a great time!!
;D

Thanks everyone for coming out today!

I did slightly worse at the GSSF match, don't feel so bad! ;)
Still had a blast though!

I had a good time, great day for a bike ride, saw how the matches are performed, signed 19 up with NFOA, got to meet Chris and Roper finally. Met a few other members, and made some new friendships with Jay, Kim, AAllen and Dan.
Not alot of shooters there, too nice of a day late in the year.
Boy did I get dehydrated on the way home, and an ice cold bud light sure hit the spot when that Beemer rolled into the barn.
19 of 21 people I, Jay, Kim, Rick,Dan and Chris talked to today signed up. One guy has been worked on before, just not his thing, and the other took a flyer and wanted to check out the site first, he may or amy not sign up. But that is a pretty good ratio. As you guys saw, it doesn't take any special skill, just go out and get them, bring them to the table and tell the truth. What we have to offer sells itself, we just have to take our message to them, they aren't going to search for us.
We had 6 of us at one time talking to two guys who walked up to the table, when one slowed down, another picked up, and we all gave them more info than they could handle.
Took in two donations today, one for forty dollars, and I want to thank that member personnaly, he knows who he is and will be reading this, so thanks Bob.
There were several shooters already signed up there, which is great. Chris and a few others are doing a great job getting the people around Lincoln educated about the NFOA.
We looked like the rag tag motorcycle gang there, a Rat Rod, an Enduro and a sport touring bike. We will have to do that again sometime. Did you get that bike home Jay?

Thanks to all the volunteers that run the Rock your Glock event at Lincoln IKE's. These guys work for pickup brass, and do one hell of a job. And they did that job well enough over the last few years to convince the GSSF that Nebraska was ready to host a sanctioned GSSF event.
Nebraska Glock shooters showed up at the event at Heartland Shooting Park in GI, and the event staff said Nebraska is on the schedule again for next year.
Thanks to the Lincoln Izaak Walton league for hosting the Rock Your Glock events, and allowing 6 NFOA directors to work the attendees for adding to the NFOA's membership.
And finally thanks to those NFOA directors who went to considerable lengths to support the further growth of our association.
I am very proud to be a part of all this.

Yes, thanks to everyone!!

Same story here, we had a great time and really enjoyed the company there. It's fun putting faces to names and meeting the people behind the screen names here on the forums.
Glad you made the long trip back ok, Scott. Of course, we wouldn't have expected anything else from that beemer you're riding, but I guess you never know. Yep, we got the bike home with no problems, took a short nap, then headed back out again for a night on the town with some friends. We just rolled back in, was a little cold on the way home, but not too bad.
Thanks to everyone for coming out.
