Category: Machine Gun Match

This was the sixth match of the season. This was our annual St. Valentine’s day Thompson and  Subgun match. Our luck with the weather ran out this month. It was the most miserable day we have ever had that I can remember for a match.  The wind was icy cold and very strong. It was blowing off the snow covered mountains and was hitting us right in our faces.  We did one run and then took a vote to call it a day and went home.   There was a special class included for all Thompsons . At the first stage the shooter started with a loaded Subgun and took out an array of heart shaped paper and steel targets. The shooter then moved to position 2 and had to shoot more steel targets and the giant swinger. If the shooter got a full revolution it was a ten second bonus. The shooter then moved to position 3 and  then shot another steel array in the shape of a heart.  You reloaded as necessary.  I want to thank everyone who gives us a hand with setup and teardown. Next month will be our annual belt fed bowling pin match. There will be 3 classes. Belt Fed, Full Auto Assault Rifles and Subguns. There will be NO MAGAZINE Restrictions so Drums are OK. All Sights are OK. No Restrictions.  Date will be 03/10/19  at 0900. Setup at 0800. Don’t forget to check out and register on our website at www.vegasshooters.net for updates and photos. Jr. also set up a FaceBook page for us, so you can check that out also. It is a private group so contact Ben Post or Jr. to get signed up.

This was the fifth match of our season.  This was a Subgun and Rifle Match. We got lucky again with the weather as it was an absolutely beautiful day with sunny skies and no wind. We had a large turnout so there was no team event. The shooter started with a loaded Rifle and had to take out a set of dinger and paper targets in a sweep. He then moved to another position and took our another set of steel dingers in a Nevada sweep. Moving to another position he then took on a set of knockdowns and dingers. The range was reset for the second run but a different shooting sequence was required on the first stage.

There will be a special class for those Choppers so dust off those Chicago typewriters and bring them out. See you then.

This was the fourth match of our new season.  This was a Subgun Only Match. We got lucky with the weather as it was an absolutely beautiful day with sunny skies and no wind. We had a large turnout so there was no team event. The shooter started with a loaded Subgun and had to take out a set of dinger targets in a color coded order. He then moved to another position and took out a  Christmas Tree shaped set of knockdowns with a designated stop plate. The range was not reset for the second run but a different shooting sequence was required on the first stage.
