jONESIE Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hello all, I am a college student and have been shooting at local matches here in South Dakota since last June. My club hosts lots of ICORE events and a variety of other matches (pins, steel challenge, run n gun, 2 gun, post shoots, mouse gun). Last year I was competing with a 2.5" Model 19 Smith, a FN FNP 45, and a Ruger MK III 22/25 with a dot. This year both my skills and equipment are improving. Now I will be competing with a Colt 1911 and a Model 625 smith. Because I'm so close to graduating debt free, I have been working on my guns myself and loading my own ammo. Right now my 625 has chamfered cylinders and a purdy Ahrends grips. Soon I will be polishing its insides, replacing springs, bobbing the hammer, and Jibroni-Engineering a moon clip holder. I also plan on shooting a lot more than before, well, as much ammo as I can turn out on my single stage press! This should be a fun summer!

COMATZD Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Where are you from? Going to State? My hometowns ranged from SF, Salem, Mitchell, and Rapid. Graduated from State (the real SDSU ) in '96. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jONESIE Posted May 26, 2010 Author Share Posted May 26, 2010 Where are you from? Going to State? My hometowns ranged from SF, Salem, Mitchell, and Rapid. Graduated from State (the real SDSU ) in '96. I'm from Nebraska originally, and I am attending SDSMT right now. Ive seen lots of folks get confused when they hear 'Midwest' and SDSU in the same sentence.

bofe954 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Where do you shoot around rapid? I go out there a couple times a year and I haven't had any luck finding pistol matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3P_Guy Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Unfortunatly there isn't anything in Rapid as far as public ranges. All the matches happen up in Spearfish (about 45 min away). There's usually 2 or so matches every month. They shoot pins, steel challenge, run-n-gun, ICORE, some 2 gun stuff (rifle/handgun), and we're going to be putting on our first shotgun match in August. Otherwise the next closest option is to hit the USPSA matches in Pierre which is 2.5 hours away. --Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
