This Sunday Feb 19 is the 2nd steel challenge match at ENGC. Set up starts around 7:30 AM (we can always use help), shooting at 10 AM. Registration ends at 9:45. 6 stages, weather looks to be reasonable. Come on out!

Never shot one before, how many rounds should we bring?

Ron,

200 ought to cover it, unless you plan on missing alot

There will be 6 stages with 5 targets each. Shoot the 5 targets 5 times for 1 stage. So 25 hits per stage. Best to have 5 mags unless you have some large caps for centerfire. I shoot 22, so I only get 10 per mag and I need those.

Can we pick up our brass?

What time does it usually get over by?

RLMoeller · « **Reply #6 on:** February 17, 2012, 08:35:18 PM »

What is the entry fee?

JTH · « **Reply #7 on:** February 17, 2012, 08:40:23 PM »

Can you pick up brass: Certainly

What time does it get over: Roughly 1 or 2pm, depending on how many people we have.

How much does it cost: $15

Six stages, 150 rounds if you never miss. (If you are like the rest of us, about 200-250 rounds is good.) You don't even need a holster if you are shooting a rimfire division!

C'mon out, folks---the weather is going to be great, and it'll be a fun match. (And for those who hate Outer Limits, we aren't shooting it this month...

)

Does it cost $15 for members?

dcjulie · « **Reply #9 on:** February 17, 2012, 09:15:05 PM »

Yep. Same price for members and non-members. You do not have to be a member of the club to shoot matches.

....um, remember the match is on Sunday.

Not Saturday.

Wow, Tom, it's a good thing I checked this thread. I was all geared up and ready to go.

I have no idea why I was so convinced it was on Saturday. Stupid me. At least I didn't end up there by myself going "where is everyone?"

bkoenig · « **Reply #13 on:** February 18, 2012, 10:34:18 AM »

Well, at least you would have placed first.

dcjulie · « **Reply #14 on:** February 18, 2012, 11:17:25 AM »

Sunday's forecast thus far: Clear. High of 45F. Winds from the SE at 5-15 mph.

YIPPIE!

Might be a little messy/mucky from the snow melt, but there is not much moving with steel and it is all fun!

Wish I could be there, but I will be 817.198 miles away. I don't think I can shoot that far.

Fly

Sure you can, just use a bigger gun!

Last time I was out at the range I had some serious problems getting up the hill at the gate. I drive an older rear-wheel drive American tank and the ice on the hill just about made it impossible. I worry about being able to get back up the hill from the pistol bays, so if someone can give me a report on the ice conditions on the vehicle "trails" I'd appreciate it.

LOL! Good one.

Jerk. Ha.

I for one am glad we're skipping Outer Limits this time!

As far as road/ice conditions, we always have truck or 2 that can pull someone out if necessary. Wouldn't be the first time we've pulled someone up the hill

.

Park on top if worried, call someone to run you and your stuff down. Only drawback is you're there until over, or someone can break free to take you back to your vehicle. I wouldn't expect any problems though.

I was out there a couple of days ago, and I could get down to the pistol bays in my tiny little bug car---you won't have a problem.

See you all at the range tomorrow morning at 7:30am to help set up!
