I will be wearing a light grey shirt and shorts and will be one of the Range Officers. If you ask anyone they will be able to point me out. Look forward to seeing you there.

What, no FNS apparrel? I thought it was standard equipment for RO's...

 

[Caspian]

Who said it was not a FNS shirt? I have one in light Grey and one in Natural.

Things are looking grim for my appearance tonight. Nick, I'll show you my Omega rail ... maybe next time!

 

[shooter521]

I'll be there, shooting my G35 in Production division. No carbine for me tonight.

 

[Steelman]

Is it 1815, yet?

I'll be there with an 870.

Normally shoot a 625 in Revo class, but unfortunately my reloading bench is still in IL.

No laughing. I'm a little rusty.

Fun was had by all, as usual.

And, we fired the Serbu for the first time, FIREBALL!

 

[22rssix]

I have to say for my first steel event I had a blast. Even the g/f had a good time and she didn't even shoot. She did say once she gets more time in with the beretta she will shoot at the next one we can attend.

I think I am hooked now.... I can't wait for the pin shoot I hear that is even more fun.

other than my 10/22 letting me down with its jamming issue, i had a blast.. im looking forward to next months "slip and slide" stage. Craig, all the hair on my left are is gone now, thanks!

 

[bigcraig]

Craig, all the hair on my left arm is gone now, thanks!

The Serbu is literally a BLAST to shoot ain't it.!

 

[Virtus]

Was a blast to shoot steel for my first time too. Was nice to meet some new faces (22rssix, Caspian, VUPDblue). That 4th stage was a nice pain in the @ss for me, shooting with the weak hand Obviously, need to practice doing that more often. I am hooked now though.....bye, bye to my bank account for ammo. Thanks again guys, look forward to seeing you all again at the next shoot.

[VUPDblue]

Great fun was had! It was good to meet all you guys for the first time, and some of you guys for the hundredth time! Craig, can I be the Serbu's god-father? I wanna watch her grow up...

Oh' there was a big craig had a gun and Serbu was it's name-o S E RBU, S E RBU, S E RBU and Serbu was it's name-o!

 

[Simon6101]

great fun

It was great to finally figuire out who some of you guys are. We had a blast and I will be back. 40Cal and I had some good conversation about the 10/22 and Big Craig was like a little kid in the candy store sharing his Serbu. Hope to see you all next month

 

[VUPDblue]

[22rssix]

Thanks for the link.

I think I did well. I placed 11th in the production class and 27th over all. Not that bad for my first time.

I will be out of town for the August event but plan to be back for September.

I am also planning on going to a bowling pin shoot. I hear they are a blast.

oh, hey Simon, i didnt know that you where a member on here! you gonna make it to the next shoot? do you have any advise for me about my 10/22 jamming? maybe just change the ammo? the thing is its never been picky with ammo, i dont know why it was having such a problem... well it was great haning out with all you guys again. hope to see yall at the next one!

I'm not Kenny (Simon6101), but after watching your gun (not) run, my first guess would be mags. A couple friends of mine have gone from the Hot Lips & Steel Lips to the Tactical Innovations polymer or aluminum mags, and claim that change alone cleared up 99% of their reliability issues. My 10/22 is problematic with the 10rd or 25rd Butler Creek mags, too... but those problems pretty much disappear when I switch back to the factory mag. I'm about this close to picking up some Tac Innovations mags myself in hopes of getting the gun to run better.

ill have to try those other mags. my butler creek mags are pretty old so they could just be getting worn out.. thanks for the tips...

 

[shooter521]

where you in our group?

Yes, I was the guy helping Nick (VUPDblue) run the timer and keep score.
