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. ;D 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.
SAFETY:
- The range is a ""COLD range. Nobody, including law enforcement personnel will be permitted to carry a loaded firearm.
- All firearms must be stored in a suitable bag or box with the magazine removed and the hammer down.

General Information:
- You do NOT have to shoot with a Glock. Any centerfire pistol or revolver can be used.
- Shooting should start at 8am.
- Registration goes through noon.
- You will need about 100 rounds per gun.
- The cost is $10 for the first gun and $5 for the second gun.
- Youth (under 18) is $5 per gun.
STAGE PROCEDURES:
- When directed by the Range Officer, you will remove your firearm from its holster/bag and you make take a site picture with an unloaded firearm.
- You may load your firearm once directed to do so by the Range Officer.
- Firearm may be loaded with a maximum of 11 rounds for each string of fire (7 in single stack class, 6 in Revolver). No reloading during a string of fire, if you run out of ammo, your string is complete and scored as is.
- You will be asked by the Range Officer if you are Ready. Once you give them a verbal "ready" they will advise you to "standby" until the timer beeps. The starting position is, elbows againsts your ribcage and the muzzle parallel to the ground or below. Once the timer beeps, you may raise your firearm and engage the targets.
- You may keep your firearm "hot" in between each of the strings you fire at the stage.
- Once you have completed all strings of fire at the stage, you will unload your firearm, SHOW A CLEAR CHAMBER to the Range officer, and you will be instructed to close the slide, dryfire the gun and bag/box the firearm.
Malfunctions/Reshoots:
- Due to the wide variety of firearms being used, as well as different factory and handloaded ammunition... There will be no Re-Shoots granted if your firearm/ammo malfunctions.
- The only reshoots that will be granted (at the Range Officers discretion) will be ones due to timer/target failure.
Come on out and test your skills!

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?

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

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!!!
-
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).

This was my first RYG. Enjoyed it immensely, thanks. Didn't realize I could miss so many targets so quickly >:D

You know that is the game with this style (GSSF) of match. Charlie hits add a second, Delta hits add three seconds, and Mikes add a whopping 10 seconds. :o That adds up pretty quickly. So it REALLY pays to take your time to get good hits on the paper.
