    Shooters,

    Our Friday Night Steel match will be this Friday, December 11th at 6 pm. 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.

    FNS is conducted under a COLD RANGE. That means all guns must be either holstered (or bagged) at all times, unloaded, hammer down, with no magazine inserted. You may only handle your gun at the direction of the range officer (RO), or in the designated "safe areas." You may not handle any ammunition or loaded magazines in the safe areas! Violation of these or any other safety rules shall result in a match disqualification.



    * PLEASE TAKE NOTE *

    We have Friday Night Steel bumper stickers available for purchase. They can be purchased during sign in at all Friday Night Steel events.

    If you wondered where to purchase the Friday Nights Steel gear that some of the RO’s were wearing. You can now purchase Official Friday Night Steel shirts and hats at Café press

    * 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.


    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.

    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 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. The sight is now listing results for FNS so be sure to check them out.

    "As to species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with a ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks."

    Someone want to recommend a good pair of shooting gloves? Handling cold steel with bare hands just doesn't sound like fun! But I'll be there regardless!

    Under Armor makes two different weights of gloves that are thin and tacky enough to shoot while wearing. I have both. They are $25 - $30 bucks but i have not found anything i like better.

    Under Armour ColdGear Arctic Fleece Gloves- Black 6611 | GoBros.com or Dicks has them too and i do recommend trying them on. I got mine a size smaller than i typically wear.

    Sorry to hear that; what'd you do? Did you break it at the World Arm Wrestling Championships again?


    I had surgery 2 weeks ago to repair the tendons my right elbow. I go tomorrow for my first Dr app. since my surgery and have the stitches removed.

    I keep about a half dozen pairs of ragwool fingerless grip dot gloves for just that purpose.

    Warm, sheds water well enough, grip dots are good on the gun, fingertips can operate the controls. Works for me down to say 10 degrees or so. Any colder and I use them as my liners.

    They are also cheap.

    I'll be there. This will be my last chance for FNS before my move to CO. I'm really going to miss FNS.
