I've been asked by a few to set up an "S-B range day" so lets do it.

Our format for pistol will be IDPA style. A few of my fellow safety officers and I will set up stages for all of us to shoot. If you don't know about IDPA rules don't worry about it. We'll have a fun day. New shooters welcome, everyone will be under the direct supervision of certified safety officers.

If you're interested post here. Our club is Old Colony Sportsman's Assn on Forest St. in Pembroke,MA. We have 5 "action pistol" pits and will build stages accordingly.

Possible dates are Sunday 4/30 , Sunday 5/7 or Saturday 5/27. Lets pick a date and make this happen. We will be using club targets and stands etc, so there will e a $15.00 per person charge to cover the cost of targets. I will provide firearms,holsters and ammunition as needed.

NOTE- Some who have asked do not live in the restrictive state of MA , please do not post any info here regarding transporting firearms or magazine capacity. PM me or call me you never know who's watching...:eyes:

will there be a refund if ya don't hit anything?

will there be a refund if ya don't hit anything?

Lol..nope, I never hit a damn thing. But I have fun at it.

I am absolutely in. 4/30 no good for me. Away for destination wedding at sunny wonderful sugarloaf mountain. Ugh
Either of other dates work. Keep me posted

5/7 will be a tough choice ,,, I'll try
I may need a second safety guy! :-)

Well the 6th is possible too..For now I'm gauging interest from those that requested it. We either get it done before fishing season starts or wait until fall..But then school sports make schedules tighter..Oh and there's this thing about casting to tuna.. Yeah,fall is out.

I want to say I'm in however, the baseball schedule has not come out yet. If the stars align properly we will be playing on the Cape the weekend of the shoot. This sounds like a blast, thanks for setting this up Andy. Despite popular belief....you really are a nice guy!

You know I'll be there whenever it is.
Thanks Andy :btu:
looking forward to it:nailem:

I'd have to run that by the chief SO. I started Ty at 13. I'd be happy to have them shoot a few of Ty's 22lr rifles. They are dead on out to 200 yds.

im in as long as I'm not working

Definitely in.

Will PM on lawful transport :ss:

(Nope, can't bring that one. Huh - that one is out. Nope, no good.)

Will bring Mass Compliant SlingShot - see photo

Anyone concerned with transport is welcome to use any of my equipment.
As a general equipment list you'd need a strong side holster and a double mag carrier. Idpa rules have you start at division capacity ,with the most being 10+1 . So a standard cap mag could only be loaded to 10 anyways.

Ok we are on for May 7 2017. We will be shooting at Old Colony Sportsman's Club 159 Forest St. Pembroke, MA 02359 , first shots are at 10:00 AM.

I will be holding a mandatory safety briefing at 9:30 AM if you can not make the briefing you can not shoot, no exceptions. I will set up a few stages Saturday so we are ready to go.

When you arrive at Old Colony park in the lot, to get to the IDPA pits you'll have to walk through the white gate at end of clubhouse, pass by the rifle/pistol pits and walk around the short road to get out back. You'll see the blinking light and signage to the action pistol pits.

Our club has breakfast available if you get there early, please PM me or call me with any questions. If you don't have my number I'll give it to you.

Please have appropriate eye/ear protection. If needed I will provide firearms and ammunition. I do believe a few other safety officers may be helping out , we welcome you to come down and have some fun.

If anyone wants I can bring a few rifles or if you have something you want to shoot we can hit the rifle range afterwards.

Cool

I am picking up my Glock this week, possibly tonight, now just need to figure out which gun I will use cause I need a belt holster (all I have is a Crossbreed for my USP compact) and mag holder. I might go full size !911 How many pistol rounds do we need?

Around 100 to 150 is a safe bet.

However many from here that show up! I've got a few other Safety officers coming to help out. Our introduction course is Saturday anyways so we'll leave those stages set up. I'm going to build a few drills in our pit 5 , this will be good for new and beginner shooters. The stages will be set up in our other pits.

We'll break up into squads and individual SOs will run squads through the stages. It should be a fun time.

I would love to get our club to open up to 3 gun matches..but as with most clubs there is a resistance from the crotchety old (shot gun ) guys. Anyone that comes this weekend should be careful...too much enjoyment leads to expensive but super fun 3 gun events!
This is Ty from a match we shot this weekend!

For anyone (except Redlite) that wants breakfast our clubhouse has a kitchen and I believe Nikki will be there. She makes a mean breakfast sandwich.

I'll be out at the pits setting up by 8:30. First shots can't be until 10 but we'll have some fun.

Black and BLue

You ruined me, can't get anything done now,mind is on shooting need next shoot. Fiending

You ruined me, can't get anything done now,mind is on shooting need next shoot. Fiending

Haha..so I'll schedule you for my next 3 gun match? That will really ruin you. Just let me know when your selling off your fishing gear Mr. Alphabet.

I didn't get any pictures of the pits out back. I have some videos I'll work on later. For anyone not on FB here's a few from the rifle range. For those that didnt come- after we spent 6 hours in the action shooting pits, we cleaned up and went to the rifle range. Where we proceeded to spend the next two hours blasting away with each others long guns.
I've got to say I shoot a lot, and drive all over the damn place to shoot a match but yesterday was great fun. Shooting action pistol is a different experience. I know Mike and Bruce had experience but I'm always happy to run new shooters through courses. It's much better than standing there making holes in paper.

Any SB member that is interested in trying it out just send me a PM.

I took one picture at the pistol pits with your camera, then saw the gopro

we need to do that again :wavey::happy:


I'm surprised there is no steel to shoot at on your rifle range

We used to have a steel gong at 200 yds. It got removed because people kept using steel core (XM855) and it ruined it, plus there was a possibility of a round deflecting off it and skipping over the berm which we obviously don't want to happen.

Sorry I missed this event. I recently got my ltc and joined the Ames rifle and pistol here in Easton. Hitting a piece of paper at 20' is harder than I thought. I really enjoy it and seem to need a bigger safe already as I am impulsive. All set on handguns for now but those need some friends with longer barrels.

Anytime you want to try it out just let me know, I'm always happy to meet up and let anyone shoot what I own.

Finally got around to getting the videos. Somehow I'm missing a bunch from stage 5 , I have no idea what happened to them. The files weren't even showing on my memory card. I think someone was trying to use the camera and don't know what happened to them all...but here's the few from the steel stage. Billy,Bossman and Mike trying the Texas star for their first time. I'm bummed all the other ones are gone but oh well..we'll just have to have another shoot!

Oh sure - my worst round - that was a blast :bl:

After watching JR I'd a fit right in. ;-)

The stages at Sig were great, I totally bombed the steel stage with swinging plates, tiny droppers, a star...oh my did I suck.

Passes out (gun) crack samples and sets hooks into another victim ;)

that looks like the most fun one can have standing up. if there's another - in for sure will even buy low cap mags for commie state.

We'll try for fall. I built a mini stage that had movement, shooting through a window ,steel and shooting from various cover. Those videos are gone, but I'd say that was where we spent the longest time and had the most fun.
