It's time for FNS again. Since we missed out last month, lets make this month an extra special good time. Maybe some INGO folk who haven't attended before can make it this time...

More info please, What is a Friday night steel match? What caliber can you shoot? Scoped or iron sights? Is it just for bragging rights or are there prizes? Where is it held at? What time will it start? : dunno:

Steel at Marion County Fish and Game Association, Indianapolis, Indiana

It's just for bragging rights, but it is a whole heluva lot of fun! The link above pretty much explains it all. If you still have any questions, pleas ask and I'll answer.

I was reading through the page linked below and it stated that .22 and .22 mag are not allowed. Is that still the case? (Just wondering, as you state bringing your 10/22.) I would love to shoot it with my 10/22 setup as an LTR for Appleseed.

Also, there wasn't much description on the site of what the course is. How many knock downs, what ranges, etc. Just curious.

There is now a provisional .22lr class. The site just hasn't been updated to reflect that yet. The courses of fire vary, and as such it is hard to describe them. They do consist typically of 4-5 targets and the range is around 50 feet. There is also a stage that is only a plate rack with 5 plates. We have static targets as well as poppers, center-swingers and an auto popper. When I get home I'll post a pic or 2 of one of the matches.

Shooters,
Our Friday Night Steel match will be this Friday, July 11th at 6 pm. The weather looks like it will cooperate this month so come out and bring your friends and relatives. We will have 5 challenging courses of fire. We will begin course setup at 5:00 pm, and we'll need help from volunteers. We will have sign-up at 5:15 pm and a shooters meeting at 6:00 pm to explain the rules and to form squads. At 6:15 pm sharp, we plan to begin shooting. We'll be charging $10 for club members and $15 for non-members, with all money going towards the club or new steel targets. Shoot an additional gun for only $10 with your first paid entry.

* PLEASE MAKE A NOTE AS THIS HAS CHANGED *

Due to inflation, we have raised prices to$10 for club members and $15 for non-members, with all money going towards the club or new steel targets. Shoot an additional gun for only $10.00 with your first paid entry. This puts us at the same cost as many of the other local steel matches, and much less than many of the USPSA matches. Our goal is to help offset the rising costs of insurance, fuel, and taxes so that we provide a financially stable club for many generations to come.

* PLEASE MAKE A NOTE AS THIS HAS CHANGED *

Marion County Fish and Game allows the sighting in of rifles in the calibers of 38 special, 357 magnum, 44 special, and 44 magnum, provided that the rifles are fired from a bench rest at paper targets. This rule applies to regular business hours; so you can finally sight in guns in the above mentioned calibers for the new Indiana deer season. Please make sure that you follow this rule to the letter, so that FNS sets a good example for all MCFG club members.

* PLEASE MAKE A NOTE AS THIS HAS CHANGED *

5 magazines or speed loaders is now the minimum requirement. If you do not bring enough magazines to complete all of the strings of fire, you will receive the maximum time for the strings of fire that you were unable to complete. We will not allow shooters (or their friends) to load magazines at the shooting line in between strings of fire, as it slows down the shooting procedure for other competitors.

* PLEASE TAKE NOTE *

You can now purchase Official Friday Night Steel shirts and hats at Café press

Due to the recent heavy rain we are in need of CLEAN fill dirt to fill in an area that was washed away. If you or some one you know can get some please let one of the board members know. Thanks in advance for your help

With our numbers continuing to grow we ask that everyone does their part to make the match run as smoothly as possible. Be ready when it is your time on the firing line. Help to reset the steel. Volunteer to keep score.

If time and weather permits, we will again be having a Pistol Caliber Rifle "Side Match" AFTER the regular monthly FNS Match. The cost will be $5.00 per entry. If you would like to try shooting this side match and don’t have a gun of your own, bring some factory 9mm ammo and we will have a gun for you to use.

If you're new to competitive shooting, we encourage you to check out the following site. It shows upcoming shooting events for 3-gun, Action Pistol (Bianchi Cup), Bowling Pin Shooting, Cowboy Action Shooting (SASS), ICORE, IDPA, Multi-gun, Steel Challenge, and USPSA.
