Speed Steel is Sunday April 2nd at Tri-County.
Starts at 9AM, so be there a bit earlier. The next Tri-County Speed Steel (May) is the Man-of-Steel. It’s 10-courses of fire, $50 to get in and prizes. If this isn’t for you, come on out to the April shoot. |
|
I'll be there again. Our "Internet Buddy Squad" needs to represent!
|
|
I'll be there. It was a great time last month.
Guys, I think this upcoming weekend is the time to set your clocks ahead one hour on Sunday morning. Edit to say "Ouch $50" didn't read close enough. |
|
I will be there for April and MOS. I am looking to do less PR and more SS and maybe a few IPSC matches this year. Got a new P18-9 for limited and looking for another to send to EGW for a open gun. Will pipe them both for 38 sup as soon as I can get around to it.
Meet before for coffee or just show up at the range? CH |
|
I'll meet for coffee beforehand. But since it's a smaller crowd I'm thinking more like 7:30a would be good. |
|
|
0730 at Roses, home of the raw sausage it is. <looks at clock.....2 hours till I will be blasting steel in preperation> |
||
|
Prepare for jams. Let's put it this way. If you shoot the entire match without a single jam or double strike, I will pay your match fee. |
|
|
Loved speed steel last time... I'm definately in! Of course, I'll still be going cheap; Ruger Mark III and it's cheap ammo! Mwuhahaha!
ETA: And if I'm awake that early... (waits for raucus laughter from everyone in the know...) I'd be up for some early morning dead animal flesh. |
|
MUWHAHAHAAHAHAHA yeah we have had to tag team him over the phone before just to wake his ass up.... (brokeback anyoen?) yeah i'm down but i would like to use your MK3 if i may..... Jess |
|
|
OK good i'm glad i didn't buy a NEO.. anyone got a 22 pistol for cheap for me that has at least a 10 round mag? Come on.. i know someone has one! Don't make me use my Glockata!
|
|
Ok, 7:30 at Rose's. I'll be there. For this week's match, I am going to try using my Glock 19. For close range work, I prefer the Glock sights over the Sig that I have been using. We'll see. Spambo |

|
Can't wait til i get to Plink with my Buck Mark.. oh how i miss wasting cheap ammo and not feal any guilt!.
|
|
No revolver shooters?
Come on guys, where’s your sense of adventure? |
|
I thought that was what 9mm was for!? |
|
|
I want a pirate squad! AARRRRRR! |
|
|
I would like to know.. HOw many people are gonna shoot 22lr?
|
|
Let's see... Bimart has the UMC 9mm bulk pack on sale this week for less than 12 cents a round... |
|
|
I would shoot the Glock but I plan to Reign as teh NEW 22lr Champion and throw it in NoAims face!.. Picture my Buckmark with a ribbon next to it.. come on.. no one has done that before.. |
||
|
Good Luck to you! NoAim got first in .22LR class at his very first match, which is not something easy to equal. I think you will need three first places in a row to out match it! |
|
|
Are there mag changes required on speed steel? How many rounds per timed event? could you do it with one mag w/o having to reload a mag while being timed?
Mark. |
|
I am still on the fence about what I will shoot and may not decode until I get down there.
|
|
Not normally, but there was one stage last time that there was 1 manditory mag change. That course was run 3 times as opposed to 5 times. Myself and MarkII had a bit of disadvantage to with the mag changes. |
|
|
Come on.. Bring your Buckmark Target!.. It will be fun cuz you feel like you are not spending any money shooting!.. Shooting 22LR will put you in the 22LR class.. it's like friendly competition for us ARcom guys..(well the cheap ones)... heheh and gals if Glocklady shows up.. I'm sure she will. |
|
|
Yeah i know.. i just threw that in. |
|
|
What time is this event usually finished? I'd like to attend, but have some time constraints.
Oh yeah, I'll be shooting a .22 too |
|
I think last time it was 2:30p? |
|
|
Sounds about right, unless you're like Gunkata, Anarx, and myself who are losers and stay until about 6:00 afterwards just BSing... |
||
|
Thinking about going, but I only have 2 mags for the trailside. Cape, you have any for sale?
|
|
I dont, hard to come by. I think the 2 mags should be enough.... 20 rounds? I think NoAim only has two for his CZ. I pulled the optima off my buckmark and put the iron sights back on it for the match. Seems everyone is shooting rimfire so I might as well. Hope you show! |
|
|
Actually I have 5 for the CZ. Here's the deal. You run through the stage once, firing 8 rounds (2 missed). Run through it again with 8 rounds. There's your two mags. Now you need to have someone reload both mags and then shoot again. One more needs reloaded....shoot the last time. |
||
|
You can shoot however many stages you like and leave when you like. Just make sure to tell the scorekeeper in the range shack that you are leaving early or she will be tearing the place apart looking for your "lost" scoresheets and holding up things for the rest of us. |
|
|
SO 5-6 mags would be best? Damm. I dont know who has any trailslide mags either. |
|||
|
I think the local shop had some when I was in last. I'll call tmrw am and post here to let ya know. |
||||
|
5 mags would be best. However, if you're REAL nice, you can get someone to load your empty mag while you're shooting.
|
|
I lucked out with 3 mags with my Buckmark and also have a few more coming on satureday, just in time to try it out.. woot!.. And PETA I'm using that Magazine holster you gave me last October and it's all going to have Buck Mark mags in them.. hehe |
|
|
I am really tempted to shoot a 22 this time, just to try something different. |
|
|
Do it!!! All the cool kids will be! |
||
|
Hah! see she may shoot .22lr.. Woot.. we are going to be the ARcom group and also the only ones in the .22LR class.. hahaha this will be great!. |
||
|
Man I wish I could go to this... I also wish I could find extra mags for a Colt Woodsman Match target. Anyone got any?
Mark. |
|
try Sportsman's Warehouse.. they have mags for every 22lr pistol. |
|
|
I thought CDNN also had some. Not OEM, but Mecgars or something. |
|
|
I know there are some in the at the shop but i think they are factory originals....kinda spendy. I will check. CH |
|
|
In two days i get to go try my B-B-B-BUCK! MARRRRRRRK!.. i'm excited to shoot this thing and hope it doesn't break like all my other guns!..
