Category: Machine Gun Match

This was the eighth match of our season. This was our annual Three Gun 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. We did things a little differently this year having the shooter use the sub gun in both stages. The shooter started with a loaded Pistol and had to take out the Plate rack. He then picked up a staged loaded sub gun and while moving to another position took out a set of steel dingers and knockdowns before engaging the giant swinger. If a complete revolution was achieved a ten second bonus was deducted for your time. The range was reset for the second run using the shotgun and clay and knockdown targets before the sub gun sequence.

This was the seventh  match of our season and the weather was very nice. It was cloudy and overcast but there was no wind or rain so we go lucky. This was our annual Belt Fed Bowling Pin Match. We had a good turnout and the match moved quickly. There were three main classes for this match. Belt Fed, Assault Rifle and Subgun. The match was very simple. Take out 20 bowling pins in the fastest possible time. Matt Babb won the Belt Fed class with his beautiful M240. In the Subgun class the times were very close with about one half of a second separating  the first 4 shooters. Wow. A Mad Minute event followed the main match which was great fun.

Setup at 0800 and Registration ends at 0845 with the match starting at 0900. See you then.

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.
