ap3 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 My first time going to this match, and it looks like alot of fun. I like the all day match format as it is always more relaxed and gives you time to visit with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomfab Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) For those that cannot get to the range by 6PM on Thursday, what time is late registration on Friday morning? Disregard. I changed my flight to come into PHX earlier. Edited March 18, 2011 by boomfab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be shooting by 0645 or so...not sure it will be easy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullauto_Shooter Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) For those who have shot the match before, what is the normal max distance for both rifle and slug shots? For LR rifle, what size are the typical targets? Same question for slug targets - paper or steel?

TMC Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) For those who have shot the match before, what is the normal max distance for both rifle and slug shots? For LR rifle, what size are the typical targets? Same question for slug targets - paper or steel? They use LaRue's or 2/3 IPSC steel with strobes at 300-325 and 10" flashers out to 200-225. Last year they had these odd computer run pop-up and scored plastic targets that looked like racing car seats. They were man sized and were from 75 to 125. The farthest we've shot slugs has been about 75 but and they used either full size cardboard IPSC or 18x24 steel and nearly always shoot unsupported.

suesstech Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 As a spectator planning to attend Sunday, what time should I show up? Is it ok to bring 2 well-behaved kiddos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 As a spectator planning to attend Sunday, what time should I show up? Is it ok to bring 2 well-behaved kiddos? I'd say by 7 if you want to see all stages shot. Make sure the kids have well fitted eye and ear protection and bring 'em. I'd keep them away from the rifle racks. If you have questions, it is good form to ask a shooter a few minutes AFTER he has attempted a stage. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suesstech Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 MarkCO, Thanks for the info. I definitely have eyes and years covered. My girls are low key and are good about not touching anything. They've enjoyed going out shooting themselves quite a few times. See you guys at the match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlamoShooter Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 As a spectator planning to attend Sunday, what time should I show up? Is it OK to bring 2 well-behaved kiddos? Please do bring the Kiddos, the future of our sports depends on the them. Some of the shooters are like Race Car divers, = they put allot of preparation into the race. Catch the shooters when they are in a group, if you catch a shooter off by them selfs = they are probably preparing to race. Or trying to shake off a bad run. No one wants to get approached in a race rage after a crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMC Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 They reserve a few benches on the public range for us. You just show your shooter badge at the range desk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
