Attention Handgun and 22 Rifle Shooters!
Do you want to try something different than BULLSEYE shooting? Well - here is your chance!
A group of us that go to other clubs to shoot steel plates as part of "Speed Steel" match events (i.e. shoot five steel plates as fast a possible) would like to run something like this to have fun and practice at the LRGC. But of course we can't shoot steel targets on our indoor range. So - we have created "Speed Plate Shooting" - shooting plastic-backed paper plates which move (rather than make a noise) when you hit them. We have been "beta" testing and now would like to open it up to other interested members - but due to the time and facilities available - we are limited in the numbers we can have shoot per session. Next session is on Tuesday Aug 9 starting at 6:30 pm.
Note that this is a speed/timed event where you will try to shoot five plates as fast as possible with time penalties for missed targets.
Requirements: (must be 18 years and have RPAL for pistol, PAL for 22 rifle)
1) 22 cal or CF pistol, or 22 semi-auto rifle (any type sights are ok - no holsters allowed) 2) Must have minimum of (3) magazines
3) All personal safety gear (eye + ear protection - electronic HIGHLY recommended)
4) Sufficient ammo that WORKS in your gun!! (you will need a MINIMUM of 30 rounds per station x 4 stations (3 min dependent on turnout) = 120 rounds x a "miss/jam" factor of 1.33 = 160 rounds! (You can always take it home - but you can't get more - so I always bring extra!) This type of shooting DOES eat up a lot of ammo so be aware!
5) Fees are typical LRGC range/shoot fees + $0.70 for targets!
To participate: You must register for this event!
