AAR - Season 4: SUN, 20 OCT 2013 NWI Meet & Shoot

[KLB]

Slackers! Here is the AAR thread.

Wow, what a nice day.

 

[melensdad]

Way nicer than I figured it would be. Wore multiple layers and had a heavy coat to fight off the cold. NO NEED. Never put the coat on.

Kept waiting for the battle between Therese and Jedi. My money was on Therese. But I guess that fight will have to wait until the South Shore ride to work.

My somewhat newly redressed M1A was a hit

 

[baddyna96]

Great time! Good to see all of you again!

 

[Hawkeye]

It was nice, weather was great and everybody seemed to have a good time. I'll be back...

 

[Raitekk]

Very good day indeed.
tagged for later.

 

[daddymikey1975]

I'll post up some videos aftewards after I get them uploaded.

My son said his favorite gun was the M1. Lol

 

[sadclownwp]

Such a great day with you guys. Starting to see more and more M&P's out there. My work is almost complete.

 

[jedi]

Great time! Good to see all of you again!

Did you bring the halloween cookies? I have the Rubbermaid container.

 

[actaeon277]

Good to be back. Time for some left over spaghetti, I can't believe I'm this hungry.

Anyway, I'd like to thank:
NipprDog for the Just Right Carbine 9mm. Nice. I have a 9mm carbine already. But this was nicer.
koutsevil for the Ruger Blackhawk .44. Fun to shoot, but wow, ammo is a killer $.
darkkevin and t_star for the Savage model ?? 17hmr. I may have to think about adding a 17 to my stable. If I can do better on ammo price.
gunbunnies for the mare's leg .38/.357. Fun, can't decide if I should put it on my list to buy, or not. daddymike's son was shooting it like a rifle, the short stock was just his size.
gstanley for the Colt mustang .380. I could kick myself for selling the one I used to own.


I finally remembered everything that I wanted to try out. I'll have to print the list up in the future.
It was also useful when someone wanted to know who owned a weapon, we could look it up on the list.

Looking forward to pictures. I unfortunately forgot my camera, and didn't use my cell phone camera.

 

[baddyna96]

Such a great day with you guys. Starting to see more and more M&P's out there. My work is almost complete.

Really? Don't make me talk about what happened on the 200.

 

[baddyna96]

Did you bring the halloween cookies? I have the Rubbermaid container.

Yes that was us. I told Colleen that you were going to "pink" it this time!

 

[baddyna96]

sadclown,

My buddy Rob was quite impressed with your ACR and the POF. I think he has talked himself out of a 308 for now. I'm sure you'll be seeing him in the shop.

Help me out here guys and girls. I know nipprdog took the pics. Sorry it was one of those days.

--MY DAY--
Coming back from my first Project Appleseed training last month I continued to focus on those skills.
The results are 'ok' but not great!
Test 1 - 202 (Sharpshooter) Lv2
Test 2 - 186 (Sharpshooter) Lv2
Test 3 - 180 (Sharpshooter) Lv2
Test 4 - 112 unqualified
Test 5 - 106 unqualified *
Test 6 - 188 (Sharpshooter) Lv2
Test 7 - 190 (Sharpshooter) Lv2
Test 8 - 172 (Sharpshooter) Lv2
Test 9 - 186 (Sharpshooter) Lv2
--Lunch Time--
Test 10 - 222 (Expert Rifleman) Lv3
Test 11 - 194 (Sharpshooter) Lv2
Test 12 - 198 (Sharpshooter) Lv2

Test 5 was done with my .30 carbine which shoots high and I never expect to get a good score with it as the 300 and 400 yard targets my groups are tight but either too low or too high. The rifle is out of it's range past 300 yards and I have given up trying to fix the sights on it.
200 yards and under the rifle is dead one. It is what it is with that little gun. I'm thinking it might be retired next season.

Test 6 - 12 were done after adjusting the rear sight of the 10/22 to the smaller circle and raising the front post of the 10/22 7 turns. This gave me tighter groups. Special thanks to lonehoosier for helping me with this. He is actually good for something other than cooking bacon go figure.

So what the end result. If I focus and slow down I CAN indeed reach level 3. Proved that at my first Appleseed event (did not get my patch as I can't follow directions ) and have proven it again last month and this month when I slow down and focus.

--FINAL COMMENTS--
Good to see so many kids with their parents at the event. Looks like they had a blast! Plus we got 2 'public' families to check out INGO as well.

Oh sure you shoot the .30 carbine but don't mention it.

Yes that was us. I told Colleen that you were going to "pink" it this time!

Oh how I would love to but there is a 30 day grace period. So if she don't NOT pick it up next month then when she sees it again in MAR 2014 it will be PPPPPIIIINNNNKKKKK!!!!!

 

[nipprdog]

Another awesome M&S!!!!

A few teasers..

Classic;

"Watch for flying brass"

darkevin and t-star rocking with repeter's SCAR

And here's that one guy;

Can't remember his name, he's kinda weird.

 

[jedi]

I'm gonna report you to Da PINKFather!

 

[actaeon277]

Ok, sorry Jedi. Can't believe I forgot you.

Thanks to Jedi for letting me try out his M1 carbine .30.
Eh. Sorry Jedi, would rather have a full M1.

 

[actaeon277]

My mom was talking about making Chili for the next shoot.
I figure it'll be colder, maybe people might want some.
I don't eat beans, so I don't eat chili.
But if you guys want, I'll tell her to make the chili next month.

Agree but M1 is heavier and ammo is $$$$$.
Next time I see you I'm gonna say "Peter's brother"

My mom was talking about making Chili for the next shoot.

We go have propane stoves to keep the chili warm. We did do chili earlier this year I think or was it last,.
