Category: Machine Gun Match

This was the seventh match of our season and the weather was very nice. It was clear with a little breeze 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 brought the trophy back and took it home again with his partner Mike Berkeypile who won the Belt Fed class with twin M240‘s. In the Subgun  class the times were very close with about one half of a second separating  the first 2 shooters. Wow. A Mad Minute event followed the main match which was great fun.

This was the sixth match of our season. This was our annual St Valentines day match with a separate class for Thompsons. We did not get lucky with the weather this month. It was an absolutely horrible day. It was very cold with high winds and overcast skies. We had a very large turnout with several entrees shooting Thompsons. Unfortunately the gun gods were not kind to us as it seemed we were plagued with several  malfunctions again this month. Because of this and the bad weather we decided to only do one run and head for home. The match was a 3 stage match with the shooter starting in a box with the Subgun at low ready taking out three heart shaped paper targets. The shooter then moved two stage two where the giant swinger was encountered also with four steel targets. The shooter then moved to position three and engaged steel dingers in any order.  Don’t forget to check out and register on our website at www.vegasshooters.net for updates and photos.

This was the fifth match of our season. This was a Sub Gun Only. We got lucky again with the weather. It was an absolutely beautiful day with warm temperatures sunny skies and almost no wind. We had a very large turnout but the match moved along smoothly. Unfortunately the gun gods were not kind to us as it seemed we were plagued with several  malfunctions. I have never seen so many “Hand Clears” in one match and it wasn’t just HK’s this time. Even my 38A had one, and I can count all the malfunctions I have ever had with that gun in the last ten years on one hand. The match was a one stage match with the shooter starting in a box with the Subgun at low ready taking out a plate rack. The shooter then moved down range shooting at steel dinders on both sides of the bay to position two and  finishing up on a steel stop plate. The range was reset for the second run.

This will be a Subgun only match but there will be a special class for Thompsons so bring those choppers out for some fun. I will send out a reminder before the match.
