Sounds like a great time! I'm going to try and make it next Saturday to try out a new pistol. Hoping to have it broken in and ready by then.

So you basically line up with 20 rounds ready? I don't have a holster, but is it ok to keep the extra magazine in your pocket?

I'm no expert, but I would recommend a holster of some sort. I didn't have a mag carrier. I kept the extra in my cargo pocket.

I will be buying a mag carrier in the near future. no fun fishing for the reload when the 5ft nothing lady next to you is cleaning all the plates...

So they have the other newbie (who was clearly related to an oak tree) shoot first. 20 rounds, shoot at what you want. He nails the first (left) plate, then proceeds to miss. I think that he hit a total of 3.

Prolly was me (I was shooting a Beretta Elite2). At least, it sounds like my shooting that day.

and then proceed to miss

and miss

and miss

hit!

Talk about frustrating. The plates seem to get smaller and smaller with each miss. But good fun when you hit them. I'm used to larger poppers and IPSC style targets. But in the club match I shot today at Concord, we had one of those small ones as part of an activator for a disappearing target. Still missed a few times, but I did manage hit the SOB.

Now the people arriving are all newbies (like, 10 of them). Most seem to be a little unfamiliar with firearms. Now I'm not close to being worst!

It was a little scary. But the ROs kept them safe.

I shot against this little lady who was maybe 5 ft. tall. She whooped me bad.

Whooped my ****** bad, too.

the little 5 ft. asian lady with the scoped 1911? yea, she'll kick yer peanutbutter...

there's another good one there too. really tall (and pretty cool) guy. i think his name's Rod or something.

he has a habit of hiting every plate and popper in nothing flat, then hit the sillioute on the side until the other guy finishes...

so the other guy is struggling to hit his plates and hears the "bong...bong...bong"...

That guy cleaned me out more than a few times. At the end of the night, I did finally beat him (and I was the one hitting the metal IPSC target). But I think it was a fluke. But it did feel good.

[chiefcrash]

every once in a while, this real tall guy shows up with a 6 shooter and a bunch of moon clips in a funny little rig...

ain't that bad either...

HHHHMmmmm.... I might just have to come down there this coming Saturday.. the wifey will at a wedding shower from 3 until 8 or so...

I'll be the 6'2" 245lb bafoon wearing digital cammie pants and limping. wearing a GI pistol belt with GI holster and a 1911A1

I can't go next weekend. I've been informed by SWMBO that Sat is Circus day. Gotta take the little screamers to look at elephants (actually, it should be fun. My little one thinks animals are the shiznit).

Ghideon, that was you (and I didn't mean to make fun). I was the guy in the New York City t-shirt. I didn't beat anyone the whole time. Always ran out of ammo before it was time to hit the yellow plate.

I'd love to try out that course with my Winnie 94 in .45 Colt. It would be a hoot!

[kalibear]

Glad you guys enjoy the Sat Steel Shoot!

I am going to try and make it this coming Sat. I love going against newbies!

Sounds like the time a buddy of mine went to see the world championships and came back with video of Vera Koo, who cleaned out the place without breaking a sweat.

I wish my mom was as cool as her...
