Today was one of those days when you asked what am I doing here, strong winds and the mirage nobody could see the bullet holes on the targets. Next match is 12/9/18 for both the Ground Hog and 22 Rim Fire matches. Both setup 7, start 9. This is the last match for the year, hope everybody turns out for it. Have a happy Thanksgiving, a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year. Howard, Match Director  

Sunny with light winds for this month’s match. Jim and Bill set up five stages, all ten rounds, starting with:

Stage One. A ‘shoot-til-you-hit, shoot-til-you-miss’ scenario with a medium target and ‘Gary’ at 300yds. From prone supported position.

Sitting supported on Stage Two, with targets at 100, 200, 300 and 400yds. Engage until hit and move to the next target. Then repeat. Two minutes allowed with sight adjustment, three minutes without. Two points for all hits on the farthest target.

A Nevada Sweep on Stage Three, from sitting unsupported position. Mixed shape targets at 150, 175 and 200yds.

Six pistol rounds to start Stage Four with bonus points for shooting strong hand only for the last three shots. Another ‘shoot-til-you-hit, shoot-til-you-miss’ scenario, from standing position. Targets at 150 and 200yds.

The tie breaker, Stage Five, started with the grenade pitch and then six pistol rounds at a 25yd. target. Then engage a single 160yd. target from standing position. Move to prone unsupported, reload and engage a single 220yd. target.

Possible high score of 70.

 

This was the third match of our new season.  This was a Handgun and Subgun Match. We have not been too lucky with the weather this season as it was cold and windy for the whole match again. We had a large turnout but the match moved quickly and we finished up by noon. The shooter started with a loaded Handgun and had to take out a Plate rack and two Knockdowns. He then pick up a staged Subgun and moved to another position and took out a series of dinger targets with a designated stop plate. He then moved to position three and took out another assortment of steel targets and another stop plate. The range was reset for the second run. As the weather was unpleasant we did not have a team event. Next month will be a Subgun only match    Don’t forget to check out and register on our website at www.vegasshooters.net for updates and photos. Date will be  12/09/18. See you then.        

Thank you to everyone who came out to the very windy November match. We had fun but the conditions were not the best. Congratulations to George and Jack for winning the relay #2 bonus, and to Jack for winning the pistol side match. Nice shooting. We also welcomed 3 new shooters Larry, Jeff and Ted. We hope to see you again in Dec.  

 

We almost had a full house for the November match, and maybe the perfect weather was the cause.  Congratulations to Fred and George for winning the relay #2 bonus.  And Stan won the charger side match.  Nice shooting everyone.
