lmccrock Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 (edited) I have not posted announcements for these matches here because most of this crowd will get announcements on TXIPSC. But just in case.... This Sunday we’re hosting a 3 gun match at the Best of the West range in Liberty Hill, TX. This is the range where the Texas Multi-Gun Championship will be. 5 to 6 stages. Approximate round counts: Rifle 100 rounds, Shotgun 40 Birdshot and 3 shotgun slugs, Pistol 75 rounds. Setup starts on Saturday afternoon at about 3pm and resumes Sunday morning at 8am. Signup 9:00am, hammer down 10:00am. Come on down (or up) and have a pre-turkey-day blast.

Kyle O Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Is there an airport around there someone could pick me up at? I'll fly over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmccrock Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 Is there an airport around there someone could pick me up at? I'll fly over. Airline or general aviation? Airline would be Austin-Bergstrom International (AUS) and I drive by on the way. General - not sure, others would have to say, but Burnet and Georgetown have municipal airports.

lmccrock Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 cool I am going . Hope it is a good shakedown for Fort Benning Have the Benning stages been posted? You can always volunteer to setup a stage; pretty sure Sheldon won't mind. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee General, I got a Piper Cherokee here in town, it would be a good little hop to do. If someone is going from a nearby town with a small airstrip, and would be Gracious enough to give a fellow shooter a ride to the match, and back, then I'd promise to be on time!

AlamoShooter Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Hey Kyle I sent you a PM , I am driving up from San Antonio with a buddy. so our arival time will be hard to control. =He like to leave late so that I have to speed to get to the match in time. any way Look at the range website map just East of the range ' Kitty Hill Air Port' it looks like that air port is just 1o miles away.

Kyle O Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Looks like Burnet and Georgetown are my best options, anyone coming from either of those directions with an extra spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken hebert Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 you staying overnite locally or flying in the day of the match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle O Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 you staying overnite locally or flying in the day of the match? It would be the day of, but it's looking like drizzle/fog/clouds in the forecast, so I'll go ahead an scrub it. As we say in aviation, "Better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, rather than in the air wishing you were on the ground!" I appreciate the offers though. Maybe I could give someone a ride sometime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken hebert Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 VFR only? or just preference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle O Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I'm doing my instrument training, but am currently vfr only. It would be a stretch for me anyway though. If I fly somewhere more than two hours away I prefer to stay overnight. I did a 2.5 hour and back one day, and was whipped, and I didn't even shoot a match in between. If conditions were optimal, i'd try for it, but......... You guys have fun tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Kyle I think it has more to do with him winning the Free entry , Luck is good So How Strong Were the Gust? ="Well I will tell Ya" = The Gust were so strong my hat got blown off when I was prone shooting.

AlamoShooter Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 The gust were so strong that when I stopped shooting , I did not have the same shirt on as when I started shooting. The wind was so strong .....no one commented on me smelling bad, just that my shooting stunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wind was so strong .....no one commented on me smelling bad, just that my shooting stunk Wish I could have made it out today - sounds like a challenging match, especially with the gusting wind. Aside from long range, I can see where it might play havoc with thrown clays. Anyone have results or video - maybe I can live vicariously? ETA: Never mind - results are out same day (as usual - thanks Sheldon). Lots of folks are today's match who I would have liked to shoot with.

lmccrock Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 The match was setup with aerial clays, but they were removed before we started, otherwise would have made for some cool video. There was some video shot on my squad, and they usually post it, but maybe on the ARFcom thread, although not as of yet. Some of us had scores so bad we did not make the list. My rifle took a dump and I did not shoot a couple stages, but still. I'll poke Sheldon; need to ask him something anyway. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
