Nuke8401 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) I know we can drive from stage to stage but for those who shot last year should I still bring the jogger or can you pretty much park within 50 yards of the shootingthanks Jacob Last year, yes all within 50 yards I would say. Most stages I would carry the long gun from my truck to the rack and grab my pistol size bag with pistol, ammo, etc. Sometimes a long gun case was useful if rack space was not avalable and you needed to lay the long gun on the ground/against a berm. This year I will do the same but will bring a folding chair. I'm leaving my jogger at home, not needed unless things have changed. I don't remember seeing any joggers last year, not worth the effort. I would bring a chair and a shade umbrella befor a jogger. David E. Edited August 21, 2012 by Nuke8401 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outsydlooknin75 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 So does anyone think the range officers will still be shooting on Thursday around 1:00 p.m.? Without a doubt I would think so. 8 stages to shoot and not starting till 8am I would think they would go till 4 or so.

Vespid_Wasp Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Any idea on squad lists or starting stages? I suspect we will see a squad list while we are signing in. I think it's easier for Linda with the logistics of people dropping/being added for her not to have to keep updating a squad list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheytac Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 For you experienced 3-gunners, what do I need to bring that an amateur will not think of? Yes, I know 3 guns,ammo, and a cleaning kit... Tell me the stupid things that people don't think of or forget? What have you wished that you had with you at past events that you always bring with you now. Yes, I'll have a cooler with water,gator-aide and snacks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'll have a cooler with water,gator-aide and snacks... Sunscreen -as high SPF as you can find. Insect repellent - ticks are bad up here this year, I imagine they are down there too (a couple stages are in grassy or woodsy areas). Wet wipes - nice to be able to wipe your face, hands etc while it's 90 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me the stupid things that people don't think of or forget? What have you wished that you had with you at past events that you always bring with you now. Yes, I'll have a cooler with water,gator-aide and snacks... Spare batteries for any optics you may use. Spare parts that commonly break/wear out at the worst times. For ARs I bring a backup BCG and various springs and detents, trigger/hammer pins, action spring, etc. For Pistols, I always have a factory recoil spring and trigger return spring. You can add/subtract whatever you're comfortable with. For shotgun I bring my factory lifter, firing pin spring, mag tube spring, etc. I also bring a length of fiber optic rod with me in case I need to replace any on my pistol and/or shotgun sights. Along with the spare parts I have a small tool kit that will allow me to do minor work on any gun related problem I can think of. This includes having screwdrivers and allen wrenches that fit all the fasteners that I could possibly need to work on. I have a broken shell extractor, choke tube wrench, castle nut wrench, etc. I've never packed a full cleaning kit, just plenty of lube. My guns get cleaned well before match day, and then I fire a few rounds for effect to make sure they're still functioning. I add/subtract to this list based upon whether or not I'm driving or flying to the match. I do the same thing with ammo, I always bring more when I'm driving. Hope this helps.

Cheytac Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Extra Flashlight, bug repellant, sun screen, will do. Spare batteries for optic, done. Spare parts, I have a few, but not much. Keep em coming while I'm packing today... And thanks for the tips... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
