Mind the 180.
Finger out of the trigger gaurd while moving. Don't shoot the floors, walls or ceiling. No handling of firearms behind the line and only the shooter is to handle firearms. Take it slow if you are new. Help tape targets and break down the setup. No AP ammo, tracers or ammo above 308 in power. (Debatable, ask range staff) Have fun and learn something! |

Amazing to see the old one gone... Erex's gun stopped jamming and we ran out of jokes.

Last few times I've been in they had .223/ 5.56 for decent prices.
Only way to stop the panic, is to stop panicking, go out, and shoot. |

How has the participation been?
I stopped going when we only started getting 1.5 runs in a night |

Can't wait to get back to America where I can shoot a gun instead of just carrying one around for several hours at a time. This 'panic' better be over by July!

Has there been good turn out since the big scare? Participation has been steady, I haven't seen a drop off at all. It's still the most attended of the action shooting nights, IDPA, IPSC, etc. I'd estimate in the ~25 ahooters per night range. 2 runs for each shooter still standard. More help taping speeds up the reset which speeds up the entire process. |

Judging by participation, you'd never know there was an ammo panic on.
Lot's of 7.62x51 shooters last night. |

Sweet! I used to shoot many practical rifle courses in Oregon....it will be good to meet some new folks.
I'll be out the first Friday of June, I'll probably have a TAN SR-15 rifle. |

Who do they consider an "experienced shooter"
Do they need proof of class certifications? |

We can tell fairly quickly.
If you shoot the table instead of the target - that's a dead give away. In general, you should be competent in manipulating your rifle safely. You are running around, shooting rapidly, changing magazines and transitioning to a side arm. Your first several times, don't try to beat the clock. Run through smoothly and safely. Biggest things are no handling of firearms behind the line, only the shooter may load or handle the rifles, side arms on those waiting in the back are cold and in holsters. Muzzle and trigger finger discipline. The ROs will cover the safety rules before we start. No pressure, just be safe first and foremost. |

If you ever go on Ballistics by the inch, for standard ball, the Muzzle velocity peaks at around 14-15" IIRC, and then actually DROPS after that. With the 18" or so barrel I believe that the gas pressure is significantly dropping before the bullet even exits the muzzle (On BBTI, an 18" barrel has about the same MV at a 5-6" barrel!) In effect self suppressing.
