UTICA Area event in it's 5th year.....Arrive PROPOSED DATE: July 6 sleep over at out camp right on club grounds, we sight in friday, set up camp, pass the hat and eat , tell lies and make fun of AIMLESS
 (Just kidding) around the campfire.Space is limited to the first 25....I have 8 slots GONE already! Shoot what you bring in challenging and fun events that SP10 and I think up in our tortured minds   .We had a 3 gun match last year that we'll repeat. The MAD MINUTE balloon shoot will repeat from a few years ago. Thanks to FP1201 we will be holding a RIMFIRE event this year... most likely an interesting event with reactive targets!!!!! Come join us in the hills surrounding UTICA, we stay up all night fending off the advances of inbred hillbillies by building up the fire and swaping stories and lies! No inbred hillbillies are injured during the campout...LOL!      edited by FMJunkie just to fix the code in the title!

Well, the actual shooting events haven't been finalized, but bringing everything is a good idea  I absolutely want to include pistol events, but past events have focused heavily on rifles. This is fairly informal.Last year, I wanted to set up a small IPSC stage which you could do with pistol and/or rifle on the pistol range, but time and weather foiled us. We shot primarily at the 100 and 200 yd berms. |

 Marc has been a great help in the past and I'm sure we'll have a great time. I have to get hold of the club president and make sure the date isn't taken...so I'll post a heads-up this weekend Last year we had a semi-auto 1919 on the line and a Ruger .44 carbine.... |

If I wanted to come to this event are there going to be rifle only events. Since I dont have a Pistol permit. Also for the rimfire event, what would be a good .22 to pickup for this?
|

Any inexpensive .22 rifle would be fine. Marlin, remington or ruger are good bets. |

Count me in. My AR should be finished by the end of this month and I'm going to pick up a ruger 10/22 in the next week or two. How much does this event cost to attend?

The event is FREE, if you so deem to join our club it's $20.00 and if you want to partcipate in dinner friday night and breakfast sunday we pass the hat for (5-15 bucks is the usual donation) toward groceries. We sight-in friday afternoon, go grocery shopping and do firepit set-up early evening, and eat and swap stories after dark. EDIT : we can also make a donation to the club if you would like. |

Guys I'm going go to need to buy the stuff to campout there friday night and have nothing. Besides a tent and sleeping bag what else is needed or should I get? I haven't slept in a tent in a long time so I want to make sure I have what is needed.

There is a building (clubhouse?) that some guys sleep in, rather than pitch a tent. You would likely want a foam pad to put your bag on if you choose to do this. No need to buy a tent. Hell, its in July. A couple blankets will work as well.
There are also bathrooms with running water at the club. Its not exactly roughing it. For you first timers, this is a really nice place to have a camp. Ad1, I'm guessing this weekend does NOT coincide with the CMP matches? |

Actually, I'm thinking of a "4 gun" team event this year. 5 bowling pins at 10 yards-pistol-offhand 5 pins at 100, poodleshooter and battlerifle-offhand. And yes, beta mags are allowed for the hilarity 5 pins at 200-precision rifle-prone The timed "4 gun" event will start with the pistol. Once the 10 yard pins are down, on to the 100yd pins. Once they are down, the precision guy finishes the match. Best team time gets bragging rights! if not enough pistols in camp, or lack of interest, then we can go back to the 3 gun. Or even bring in rimfires and pins at 50yds offhand. any number of variations are possible. If anyone is interested, we can also do my 5 target precision rifle match. Those from last year likely remember this set of targets. If any interest, we can also set up a simple IPSC type match. We tend to run out of time before we run out of events. |

Presuamably one of those slots is mine. With the astronomical prices and dificulty in finding surplus ammo, I thought it would be fun to bring a case of .22 ammo and a few rifles. There will be as many metal "reactive" targers as can be made/found/bought and you're encouraged to bring your own too! If we want to shoot bullseyes, that's not a problem, single shot beater that belonged to Great Grand-Pa or tricked out 10/22, all are welcome. Anybody got an American 180 in Class III?

Hey, that was my only bling bling, and I didn't run out at all...at all!! AD1, I have a couple of out of stater's (Ohio and Mass.) that would like to attend from another site (Armory), and one local Albanite. How full do you think it will be this year, looks like a good interest already. I hope Mike allows the dates, got me out of selling shirts with Sue for the Boilermaker on that Friday and Saturday, for the run on Sunday. |

Other than a rough idea, they won't really be finalized until just before they are shot. This isn't a formal fully planned event. There is a lot of room for shooter/attendee input. |

As SP10 said, we have a fluid operation, very laid back and we WANT IMPUT from the attendees, SP10 is a talented guy and between the regulars that act as staff on these things everyone has a SAFE and GOOD time.
The only requirements are that you handle yourself in a SAFE and SPORSTSMAN-LIKE manner, it doesn't matter if you've been shooting all of your life or are a new convert to the smell of burning powder and ballistic paper punching..... This is a event to just have fun at, no real competition, just alot of friendly competition and some ribbing between friends. These different events are for bragging rights only... no trophy ....no fanfare, other than the fellow competitors cheering for you when you are on the line.

If folks want to do a simulated CMP match, we certainly can. I can run the same type of shoot as I do at Otisco. Target cost would be minimal.
Here are some of the event proposals so far: 1) Team event, 3-4 shooters, on bowling pins. Pistol/offhand rifles/prone, precision rifles, @ 10, 100, 200 yds. 2) Rimfire event-(FP1201) 3) IPSC type event rifle and/or pistol 4) CMP type match @ 100yds 5) Precision rifle tactical match. "5 target," @100 or 200yds, to make it really interesting. 6) Balloon 200yd shoot 7) ? I think that will fill up the day quite nicely, and then some. If you guys have any favorites from above, please post. If you have any other ideas, please add to the list. There should be something for everyone. |

One of the threads in GD got me thinking. Even though this is a casual event should I get or have any type of gear to hold my mags/ammo and other stuff or is a mag in my back pocket ok? Anyrecommendations?
|
|
|
|
Posted: 6/3/2007 5:57:52 PM EDT
[#41]
If I run any IPSC type stuff (which I hope to do), I'll be doing something simple like an El Presidente drill, which requires 1 mag change. You can simply stick the spare mag in your waistband or pocket. No need to get anything special. None of the other events require anything special either, that I am aware of. A back pocket makes a fine mag carrier for casual shooting.
You can also check out other folks gear, and see what you like (or don't like). |

|

Posted: 6/3/2007 8:31:07 PM EDT
[#42]
Buy a cheapo uncle mikes or fobus holster and a mag carrier and you'd be good to go for any handgun stuff. An ALICE pouch, MOLLE or Chi-COM chest pouch for 15 bucks will hold more ammo than you'll need for anything we will do. |

I don't have a pistol permit (  ) so I won't be able to take part in any of the handgun events but I think I'll pick up some type of cheap pouch for a couple of AR mags.

Like I said we have a great time withwhatever you bring you'll shoot.
If you don't have some gun you'd like to try, most people will let you try theirs, just pick up ammo for whatever you'd like to try. The CHI-COM Chest pouch from Major Surplus or Cheaper than dirt will suffice or a ALICE or MOLLE pouch for AR mags. Most of our shooting is done from a static position like SP10 said, you can get away with pants pockets. You'll have the ability to try out gear from other folks too. Most of us bring trading stock of gear we don't need or have upgraded to something else, so bring what you have and buy/sell/trade gear with the rest of the guys.

Please IM me if you want to do a CMP style match so I can gauge interest. It looks like we have upwards of 30 guys coming so I want the shooting events to flow as smooth as possible.
An official CMP match is 50 rds total: 20rds slowfire prone (20 min), 10 shots each rapid-fire prone and sitting (70 seconds with a mag change), and 10 shots offhand (10 minutes). It takes almost an hour to run 6 shooters through an official match, so I intend to run a shortened match, and probably limit it to 3 relays max. We will still do all positions, but faster. This is a great marksmanship assessor! I hope to start this after breakfast on Saturday, ~10AM. Wade, bring your ATV as a target runner! I'll have a sign-up for the CMP style match starting Friday. If you have never shot one, you will need some sort of shooting mat or blanket, as you will be laying on concrete. A sling is helpful, as is a spotting scope. These matches are usually iron sight only, but as this is informal, I really don't care. Shoot what you want. You will need a GOOD 100 yard zero. I am also planning on running a simple IPSC drill with 3 targets. Each shooter will be able to do a timed El Presidente and a Mozambique. These will move along quickly. We can do these with rifle and pistol. With the range limitations and number of shooters, we really can't do anything much more complicated. |
