SPEED STEEL is this Saturday, 9AM at the Albany Rifle and Pistol Club. Who’s goin? Civil? Only $10 and a few hundred rounds (depending on how much you miss), makes for a good day of shooting. |
I don't really plan to take the PE, but figured while the info is still fresh I should try for the FE. Being an ME it's not as important as Civil Eng. |

Wow it was fun to watch. Skillz ranged from pretty dang fast...like CH139.....down to about what I might be able to do  I've never shot for speed and this is a totally different way of shooting to me. I'll put in some practice time and then give it a go. I think I will get a 22 and work on form before I try with my 40's or 45's since they are hard for me to follow up quickly with. Any suggestions on good simi-auto 22's? I might even try to ASK really nice about my 5.7 since it's very quick on follow up shots, but they don't want me putting holes in the steel plates  I dont think the 5.7 ss195 or ss197 I shoot will go through a steel plate of the type they use, but I will try it out on one of my own plates first and see if it does punch any holes. Now if I had some of that evil ss190 military steel core ammo then I assume I would be punching holes  Also nice to meet Mon-Roe  Bottom line on Speed Steel.......it looks like FUN |
Sorry I didn't make it Saturday.  I case your interested here is what I shoot for Speed Steel Ruger Mk II 5 inch Bull Barrel. Volquartzen sear and comp. Tasco Red Dot. Older version Clark trigger (I don't recommend these triggers any more, ask NOX). Hogue grip. 5 mags. This pistol was originally set up to shoot golf balls at 50 feet.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT........there was noooooo one at ARPC speed steel even CLOSE to that guy  Holy crap the dude is a machine. The best I saw at this last ARPC speed steel was CH139 doing 4 hits total on 2 plates in ~1.9 seconds

That’s Jerry Miculek, he was out at the ARPC last summer for the Multi-Gun Nationals.  |
