| I'd like to introduce myself and hope to meet some of guys some day at a local shoot. I'm a member of a local gun club in the rural Portland area, if anybody out there is ever interested and up for a shoot there also. It's a small club w/o range officers, never crowded and a relaxed atmosphere. It's not much but I call it home and like it alot. |
Nice to meet you!
|
welcome.. you brought pie for everyone right??? and dont forget the Ice Cream... ice cream and pie is saposed to be brought to all the exsisting memebers by a new member... In all seriousness Welcome and enjoy the most disfunctional part of the forums.. Is this the Dougless range you speak of? |

Welcome. Hope to see you out at the next PR match. Make sure you check it out! At hte very lesat its a great way to hang out with your shooting buddies at lest once a month. BTW, post hte info on this club your talking about. We need more places to shoot. Think they would host an ARFCOM shoot? Do they allow FA? come on man..spill it!! CH |
Sorry man, all I have to offer at the moment is my charm, wit and sarcasm..... However, would beer after a shoot suffice! IM sent on locale. |
Where and when is the next PR match? I don't see a problem with a ARFCOM shoot. Unfortunately, FA isn't allowed! I don't own any Class 3 firearms, maybe someday I'll sell the farm and buy one. IM sent on locale. |
I have never participated in one of these, where is it held? |
In a galaxy far far away, on a planet called traffic hell  Oh wait, I'm just a dumb hick from Roseburg  |
|
It's held at Tri-County Gun Club on the second Saturday of each month. This is a thread with some info on it: Practical Rifle Nox

If not December, come out January. It is a regular match. Feb is a sniper match so you can try out your long range skills. FYI, these matches are very low key. The only 2 things we really stress is saftly and fun. Where you finish in the match is not really a big deal. I finished 13th in my first match and havent done better since. But i have fun EVERY single time. CH |
If you're not sure about it, a first, you can come out and watch. Although most people have regretted that after the first stage. You typically hear "Damn, I really should have brought my rifle!" |
Yeah, the Dec. match would be a no-go as far as participating for me. However, I'm going to try and make time to meet some of the folks here and check out the festivities. As far as AR's go, do you guys use carbines in these matches? If not, then I guess I better get a different upper, since all I own are carbine-type AR's. Glad to hear safety is a big issue! I've never been to TCGC and mingled with folks on the higher end of the food chain. I'm a member of a club that is a little less high society but it's only 5 mins. away from home. Do they allow rednecks who work for a living? Here's a pic of the wife and I! http://img311.imageshack.us/img311/4444/redneckq112ci.jpg |
Well, carbine ARs. Yes they're used. What I've seen people run in a regular match: - AK-47 variant - AR-15 20"-14.5" in carbine and full A2/A3 form. - FAL - Beretta Storm 9mm - MP5/HK94 9mm - Steyr Aug - Both iron sights or optics. Basically anything that has a big mag you can shoot well will work. These are mostly "run 'n gun" type matches. Shoot 5-6 targets, MOVE, shoot 5-6 targets, MOVE, etc. And as far as rednecks go...well, they DO allow Cape Hunter to shoot, so you should be okay. Seriously, we have Intel employees, over-degreed electrical engineers, an auto parts counter jockey, etc. etc. Anybody's typically allowed to play as long as you pay your entrance fee (only if competing) and are safe. You also don't have to be a member of TCGC to participate.As an example, here's Unka-Boo running a stage from the last match. Notice he's using a Post-Ban un-flashhider'd 20" A2 iron sighted. No comments about his pistol skills though. video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6046800661939380955&q=practical+rifle

You definitely need to check out the PR shoot; everybody should… I’ve only shot it twice now and have had a great time both times. It seems to be run buy good folks and everybody is very conscientious about safety. As for rifles, I used my M4gery with Wolf ammo the first time out and didn’t fare so well. I blame it on the spray paint on my front sight, but in all reality it was probably just me. The second time I shot I used my 20-inch A2 Bushmaster and did quite a bit better. Just bring what you got and have a good time. |
