That's just for nite security.

CHA-LEE, one thing that I haven't seen mentioned is to have a nice "match" hotel or two that will give shooters a break on lodging. A couple of other things you could look at is the snack carts with fresh fruit, nuts crackers and such seem to go over really well. As far as water at every stage is a good idea, but I would go with the small bottles, we have so much waste with the bigger, normal size ones, they get one or two swallows and put it down and walk off or forget which was theirs. Igloo water coolers would be less expensive but a lot of people won't use them and prefer individual bottles. I like the random draw for prize tables if you have one. Order of finish of main divisions get trophies or awards, and as a side note to those, I think that a lot of people who usually win these would like the award or trophy to be something that is actually usable and not just another something for the mantle or the box in the closet.

This is just to show you folks of what we have available here in Mesquite, NV.

Would it make any difference if the WSB said engage all targets from within the shooting area? Asking for a friend. LOL

No he had two of them in the alfa zone.

My question is if you have a shooter engage and hit a target from an extreme angle, and it creates an enlarged hole, does 9.5.5 apply? An example is shooting a 9mm and the hole is 9mm X 1 1/2 inch long. I am thinking that 9.5.5 will not apply since the shot is not a ricochet or splatter. Others thoughts?

We are going to shoot all 8 stages of Steel Challenge on Friday the 13th, so I'm hoping that you all can get here a day early and shoot that as well as the Classic Match. Here is the Practiscore link for the steel match. https://practiscore.com/mesquite-mayhem-steel-challenge-match-march-13/register

Well that was the one question that I missed, I know that all centerfire are drawn from a holster, but I was thinking that 3.2.3 may apply. I guess I was wrong.

To those using a victory with a red dot which dot are you using and do you think that the size and weight of the dot make any differences?

What was the question? every test is different, they are supposed to be randomly generated for each test.

And just how did you get or find the link to download the pdf file?

Well, I just went through this course and passed it, but I think that there are still issues with it. It is set up just like testing for RO's in uspsa with the exception that with the organization being to cheap to provide printed rule books they expect you to download it to your phone or something. USPSA does have the app to download, I can't find anything to down load the "NEW" steel challenge rule book to any type of phone or tablet, maybe it's beyond me. The next thing is that I question some of there grading or marking questions right or wrong, case in point question is it ok to use a suppressor in PCC, I answered no and cite rule # A4.1 that is wrong according to them, they say the correct rule is H9. I think this is one of the times multiple rules answer the question. The next is more than likely my fault when entering a rule such as H9.5 is marked wrong when they want H9 5, AND while I'm at it they will give you a letter so that you can go get 2 copies of uspsa and scsa rule books printed professionally , jeez quit changing the rules so much and just print us the rule books to be included with our membership.

I believe that we may be in the running to host the newly formed Southern Nevada Sectional. We have had the Icarus II and III matches here, along with two South west Regionals and the. IRC for ICORE. We are a USPSA, SCSC, and ICORE club.

Matt, I have and carry sp101 2 1/2 357, and a s&w 649 357 both are 5 shot guns. With the exception of the 9mm apparently isn't legal I do have a smith 547, with a 3 in barrel that does not use moonclips and the shells eject with the ejector rod. They only made it in 1985 in 3 in and 4 in only 10,000 made.

The sad thing is that most people are not even aware that we exist. We are stuck in between Vegas and St.George and everyone just drives by.

I think that we may add 2-3 more out in our front bays this year.

At the Smokin Gun Club in Mesquite NV we have 22 bays.

I would hope that would be the case, but as we all know "that" guy with an assortment of ammo in their bag ranging from mouse farts to elephant loads. The thing that I can tell you is that most any gun or ammo that meets min power factor will spin it. For example fiocci 158 38 spcl. factory ammo will spin it as will 150 syntax federal 9mm. My 150 gr, short colts will do it if I do my part and have correct timing and shot placement. Now if you feel the need to slip in some Magnums, you are just adding to your problems in my opinion, you have most likely been shooting 38 spcl or short colts and your cylinder more than likely isn't clean enough to get smooth insertion or extractions, coupled with the fact you are conditioned to the lighter recoil of what you have been shooting and all of a sudden major recoil with magnums that you are not used to handling and that is not taking into account the differences in poi and poa. To me it's just not worth it. Just dance with what you brought and who knows, you may just be the Belle of the ball.LOL

The spinner is not an "approved" target, but it is fun to attempt . Hence the time plus scoring for the match.

10-5-4 EXAMPLES OF UNSAFE GUN HANDLING

Incase some don't know what I am talking about, here is a short clip of one of the JUNIOR SHOOTERS at the match getting the job done well.

I would like to pique your interest about something Scott has been thinking of doing, coupled with the all steel stage that many of you have shot or seen or heard about. we set up here at MESQUITE MAYHEM SHOOTERS SOCIETY for some of our bigger matches. This will have a fixed MAX time allowed to complete the stage. It will consist of 4 arrays with 9 pieces of steel in each array plus a bonus array. You are NOT required to shoot the bonus, but I think most want to give it a try. These will be shot 1st array freestyle, 2nd array right hand, 3rd array freestyle, and 4th array left hand. Then you try the bonus. The bonus array will have 4 knock off steel worth -5 sec. each and then THE "EVIL" SPINNER that you have to make one complete revolution to earn -40 sec. So if you complete the bonus it will give you a -60 seconds off of your stage time. Now the new part; If anyone or multiple people happen to zero the stage the fastest time would get $500 cash. If nobody zeros the stage the fastest time on the stage, [the stage winner] would get $250 cash. Then for the rest of us mortals, if we have 120 shooters we would go half way down the list to #60 and they get $125 cash and to all of the people that didn't finish, a random draw for $50 cash. So far the best time for the stage has been I think 3 or 4 seconds.

How do you propose to do that?

They are still up on facebook for stages 4 and 6.
