Morning match full with a wait list.

A little room left in the noon match.

Here are the results from today match.

Not only did we have an awesome set up crew, but we raised a ton of money for Deputy Peerys family. Thank you to everyone that showed up today and put some cash in the bag. It meant something special this time.

Next month is the AR vs AK match. You can also shoot as a team as long as one shooter shoots something that isnt an AR and one of the two rifles has some sort of non magnified optic or irons. We will be giving away plaques to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place teams.

See you soon and remember to sign up for the matches as soon as they become available this Wednesday night. Unless you like spending time on the waitlist.

[Dr.Rob]

Yes I hope so! Talking it over with the lads to see who wants to team up, I might even run an AK.

Wait, what's the reasoning behind not allowing projectiles with a mild steel jacket? We know that magnetic ≠ armor piercing, and that there's a difference between AP and steel jacket, right?

It's very simple to separate steel jacket from old import AP via headstamps.

I ask because this rule severely limits interest in participating, especially in light of covid era ammo prices.

Imagine the time it will take for a Match Director to go through a dozen people's ammo to ensure they aren't shooting bi-metal bullets vs non bimetal steel case. Quite frankly, if you are one that believes this is irrelevant time spent so you can come out and shoot garbage ammo, you are wrong. Almost every minute of my time before a match is already spent setting the match up. The ricochet and fragmenting danger of the bi-metal bullets alone is reason to not allow it. At my match, I have shot steel as close as 50 yds. I know my matches attendance is down now, but I even started a 22LR and PCC divisions and I get only one or two max at a match. It's quite frankly not worth the effort for the extra steel set up time and I'm going to stop having those divisions. There have been ways around the ammo cost instead of allowing annoying destructive and dangerous ammo and nobody is taking the opportunity. So, no steel case at my match. If you do it at my or Hosers match when not allowed, there is consequences.

There are 2 reasons actually.

1. Sparking hazard. None of us want to start a fire at the range.
2. Target damage. Yes. Even bi-metal jackets will tear up steel, especially in light of covid era AR-500 target prices.

If you look around, I am not the only club that does not allow ammo that will attract a magnet. And I am one of the very few that allows its use once a year at the AK vs AR match.

Each year I spend about 3-5K on steel targets, and that is with most of the people playing by the rules. A few people dont give a shit and shoot that stuff anyway. Eventually I find out who they are and they get 86ed from the match.
