    NNPC Fun match Nov 9 at Burro Canyon

    Our monthly fun pistol and 3-gun match will be held this Saturday at 9 AM at Burro Canyon, rental range 1C across the road from the office. Register with us at the range - not with the office. Come out and try competition-type stages. 2 or 3 handgun stages followed by a 3-gun stage. Shoot in all or just some of the stages. This is probably not for the already established competitor but for the average guy or gal who wants to shoot drawing from the holster with some movement and reactive targets. Or for someone who might want to get their feet wet in competition in a low pressure situation. It is fun and safe, run like a competition with safety officer, cold range until you are on the line for your turn, timed and scored stages. Score is time plus penalties.

    Guys shoot PCC, ARs, all makes of handguns and shotguns. Birdshot for the shotguns as buckshot tears up our knockdown targets too badly.

    Newcomers welcomed! $35 covers range rental and targets. We have been having a few CalGunners join us each month.

              Sounds like fun. I can't make it this month but I'll plan on attending in the future.

                    After action report:

                    OP could not attend, unfortunately. Beautiful day in Burro Canyon. Warm, dry and clear. Little wind.

                    I met Al, Gordon, John, Ken, rodralig, rodralig Jr. (also a Ken) and I had also the good fortune to receive some sound tactical advice from Harold.

                    No photos of the day but rodralig took some GoPro footage of he and his son. We were too busy taping bullet holes, standing bowling pins and trying to stay in the shade. It was a warm one for November.

                    All told, this was good fun! and another great experience shooting under time pressure.

                    Thanks so much, fellers! I hope to see you again in December or January!

                      I am sorry I wasn't able to make it this month...I was working a youth fishing event at Jess Ranch Lakes all day. I am glad it went well. Harold is a wealth of knowledge.

                      Always the second Saturday of the month at Burro Canyon, Range 1C at 9 AM.

                        Dang! My post got seemingly lost from this thread... Hhhmmm...

                        Anyways, as I posted earlier - my son and I would like to give Thanks to the warm hospitality of the NNPC for having us participate in their fun match. Allen, Gordon and Harold were so accomodating and helpful to my son! He loved the day...!

                        Unfortunately, his head started to hurt, according to him it was from the sound of rapid fire from the neighborhing bay. I guess I need to find a way to fix the flimsy fit of his ear muffs. I already got a referral for http://www.fbearplugs.com/...

                        Definitely good fun!!! Again, thank you to all, and see you next time (I will be bringing my AR15 and shotgun next time, and using a dump pouch ).

                        ... oh BTW, I forgot our score sheet...


                        That said, here are a couple of videos (some of the footage was ruined - already reached out to GoPro support):




                        Yeah, I would now think that my kid will not have any more doubts that he can hit a bowling pin that far...
