SmittyFL Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I was just counting the targets to allocate our targets for the match, replacement, weather contingent, etc. Close to 200 rounds including 32 steel and 17 moving, activating, or appearing targets with 3 hardcover and 28 no-shoots in the mix! Plus there are at least 6 past FL State Champions competing in various divisions!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErichF Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Bring it on! This is going to be some show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckaroo45 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Moving and activating targets is gonna be a challenge for a fat old man with a 45 revolver. Forunately, it won't be my first rodeo. BTW, anybody know how a rain issue will be handled? There's a tropical depression coming at South Florida trying to be a junior grade hurricane that could be some factor. Tough to shoot through a gallon size baggie. Now, where's my rubbers? No, No. Not like Chad Johnson, ne: Ochocinco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErichF Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 At Area 6, we shot through the rain at plastic covered targets. Still fun, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remoandiris Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 There's a tropical depression coming at South Florida trying to be a junior grade hurricane that could be some factor. T News this a.m. says Isaac is projected to arrive in Fla early Monday as a Cat 1. Could make flying out of Orlando a bit sporty for those leaving Monday.

ErichF Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 What it sounds like to me is partly cloudy and blustery, instead of sunny, hot, and calm with high humidity. FL weather ahead of a storm is usually pretty nice if you don't mind a breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmittyFL Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I don't think Isaac is going to be a factor. That's not to say we won't get rain though. It's August in Florida, it's a pretty good bet for afternoon thunderstorms. As you know this is a practical sport, the show will go on. We have bags at the ready. The only thing more fun than shooting with bags on the targets is taping with bags on the targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckaroo45 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Don't get me wrong, I ain't skeered. Been thru a typhoon in the South China Sea on an aircraft carrier and this will (would?) be my 9th on dry land. Damn things seem to follow me around. Just wanted to put the item on the table. Looks like I'll have to bring my backpack as my usual roll around coolers' little wheels don't like mud. Hell, if it was easy everybody would do it.

kend Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Damn things seem to follow me around. Any chance we could talk you into a trip to Kaliforny for the weekend??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffWard Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Wanna know how good you REALLY are? Get squadded with Manny Bragg at the FL State Championships, at his "home" range, shooting Limited... SWEET! Looking forward to free lessons! JeffWard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baa Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 What it sounds like to me is partly cloudy and blustery, instead of sunny, hot, and calm with high humidity. FL weather ahead of a storm is usually pretty nice if you don't mind a breeze. That is exactly the weather we expect on Sunday. Like Smitty said, the storm should not be a big factor until Monday or Tuesday. Still.. bring rain gear... It's Florida in the summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckaroo45 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) My wife says I'm not sweet enough to melt in the rain. Long as the gun and hands are dry I'll figger it out. A word of warning tho, I already have the reputation of being as agile as a Kenworth. Look for me to be slow enough to not slip and fall down. Bad knees and hands and a loaded gun in an unplanned horizontal position is not a happy thing. Consider this fair warning. Oh, and by the way, I can only take the company car 400 miles one way so a detour to Kaliforny isn't in the plan. Bring your rubbers 'cause I'm going to Frostproof!

buckaroo45 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I know what you mean. I was down for repairs from last Christmas till about a month ago. I figger I missed some 50 shoots.

Sin-ster Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) Plus there are at least 6 past FL State Champions competing in various divisions!! And one future...
