A few important details regarding our 3 man 3 gun Sunday:
The schedule:
8:00 we will finish set-up - all help is appreciated
9:00 - 9:20 Captains check in at the stat shack. If there are any changes in division be sure to let us know at check in.
9:30 Captains briefing - I will take all of the captains around for a really short stage introduction.
As soon as the captains return from the stage tour we will do a short match briefing and send the squads out.
- All firearms must be unloaded prior to entering club grounds, and remain that way all day, unless under RO supervision. Your vehicle is not a safe area. If you are a CCW holder please leave it locked in vehicle. If you're using you carry gun for the match unload it at home and keep a loaded mag handy.
- It is acceptable to carry long guns from stage to stage in cases, on carts, or muzzle up. We just don't want to see them carried haphazardly. We will require everyone to use a chamber flag in all long guns. We will be giving them away at the stat shack if you don't have them.
- We will be preloading shotguns on some stages, but only under RO supervision. Even then the guns must have empty chambers. You will be instructed when and how to do this. Don't do it until told by an RO.
- Whenever a gun is staged on a table, or laid down during a course of fire it must either have the safety on, or be unloaded with an empty chamber. The penalty for leaving a firearm in an unsafe manner will be a match DQ. At no point in this match will anyone be downrange of any guns loaded or unloaded.
- Unsafe gun handling will result in a match DQ. If you don't know be sure to ask.
- At times your team will firing from a common firing line at the same time, be especially mindful of the 180 in these situations. The stages that require this will be set up to be extremely safe, but be careful, especially during reloads, draws etc.
- Stacking of shots will never be allowed on any of the stages. It will result in a zero for the stage. An example of stacking would be on stage 1 where 6 shots are required on each target, and each shooter is supposed to shoot 2 on each target, some team decides the fastest way would be for the first shooter to shoot 6 on each of the first 4 targets, then the second shooter to just shoot 6 each on the next 4 targets, then the last shooter to shoot 6 on each of the last 4. On this stage every shooter must engage every target at least twice. Stage 6 also requires two shooters to engage the same targets, so both shooters must engage each target there at least twice.
- We will be using palm pilots for scoring. On the palms clay birds and drink bottles will be scored as "steel". One pellet hole in either a clay or a drink bottle will count as a hit. If a drink bottle is knocked down but doesn't have a hole in it we consider it a miss, not a range equipment failure.
- At this match you may never shoot paper with a shotgun. The penalty is one procedural for each occurrence.
- At this match you may never shoot clay birds with either a rifle or a pistol. The penalty is one procedural per occurrence, and you will be responsible for damage to clay bird holder(s) if there is any.
- At this match you may never shoot steel closer than 80 yards with a rifle. The penalty for this is a match DQ, and you will be responsible for any damage to the steel.
- We do not allow green tip, AP, API, penetrator, tracers, steel core, or any other kind of bullets that may damage our steel, or are more prone to ricochet at our club. The penalty for using this ammo is a match DQ and you will be responsible for any damage caused by it. FMJ, HP, polymer tip, or soft points are allowed as long as the core is lead, sintered materials, or something safe.
- If a member of a team is DQed, the rest of the team may continue without him.
Just so you know, we've been running these 3 man 3 guns for years at York, and no one has ever been DQed. We just want you to know ahead of time some of the things that are unacceptable.
- The minimum caliber for pistol is 9mm, rifle is .223, and shotgun is 20ga. We will be scoring everything as major.
-Everyone on your team must meet division requirements and shoot in the same division. Change them at check-in if you need to.
Divisions we will be using:
Limited - iron sighted handguns, iron sighted shotguns, rifle may have iron sights or one non-magnified dot scope. No porting on pistol or shotgun. Shotgun capactiy 8+1. Pistol mags limited to 140mm in length.
Tactical - iron sighted handguns, iron sighted shotguns, rifle may have one scope, and it may be magnified (or dot with magnifier). No porting on pistol or shotgun. Shotgun capactiy 8+1. Pistol mags limited to 140mm in length.
Open - scopes and porting allowed on all guns. Rifle may have more than one scope. Shotgun capactiy 10+1. Pistol mags limited to 170mm in length.
Outlaw Open - anything goes, unlimited capacities, drums for Saigas are fine.
- No guns may be used on full auto, though if you keep the selector on semi it is OK. Full auto = DQ. Supressors are encouraged in Open and Outlaw.
- We will have food and drinks available for purchase. Bring some ones and quarters please.
- Please drive slowly entering and exiting the club grounds. The club speed limit is 10mph.

Pictures from today's match
I don't have the results back from the stats guys yet, but here are a few pictures. The match went very well today. Gary S. did a great job designing the shotgun stages today. Be sure to give him all the blame, I mean credit for them.
Staale preparing to load his pump shotgun on the fun shotgun stage.
Logan working the tough side of the barricade.
Mark C. ROing a shooter on the rifle range. The slug shooting on this stage ate everyone alive.
The unofficial results I saw at the range had Ben T. winning open.
Phil G. tore Production up!

March Fun Shoot
This month's funshoot is this Saturday, the 26th, and we are back in full swing, with lots of steel, poppers, floppers and the wicked wheel. Our old friends choose your own (modified this year), PPC/Bull's-eye, the gallery, and two stages I'll just keep to myself. Super simple scoring. No pre-registration is necessary for this shoot.
An important change this year, I am lifting the 6 round minimum capacity requirement. this means that if you want to bring your Lady Smith, bring it, you just cant shoot for score, and will only be able to run 5 rounds on the 6 round stages. This doesn't apply to single shot things like TC's, that would just take way too long.
Pistol caliber carbines are welcome.
Round count is around 100, setup at 8:30, registration 9:00 to 9:30, shooting by 10:00.
Fee is $15 for majors, $5 for minors
Food and drinks will be available for purchase.
As always remember the range safety rules

March USPSA matches
Sunday, March 27th York Izaak Walton league will be hosting two USPSA matches.
One will be a pistol match consisting of at least 4 stages and 116 rounds, and maybe a 5th if the weather cooperates. It will cost $20, and you can shoot it either at 10:00am or 1:00pm. There will not be a classifier this month, and we will recognize all of the normal USPSA divisions and carbine. (pistol claibers only)
The other will be shotgun match and according to Shotgun Match Director of the month Gary Swope will consist of "4 stages, 35 shot, 8 slug minimum, and I stress the minimum. Slugs to 50 yards, shot to 25 or 30. Expect a fair amount of loading, movement and rudeness. Make sure you are on your game". This match will also cost $20 and you can shoot it at either 10:00am or 1:00pm. We will recognize 4 divisions of shotguns. Pump (4+1 capacity), Limited (8+1 capacity), Open (10+1 capacity, porting, scopes) and Outlaw Open (anything goes, even drums)
To sign up for either or both email us at yorksignup@gmail.com and tell us your name, USPSA #, which match or matches you want to shoot, your division for each (they are two seperate matches so you can shoot two different divisions) and any squadding preferences.
You should receive an email in a day or two confirming your entry and containing more details.
Do not hesitate to get signed up, we are only taking 36 pistol shooters and 24 shotgun shooters for each time slot. We expect these matches to fill up quickly.

The welcome back nice weather shooting tip
So Spring is here and you're itching to burn up the ammo you've been loading all winter. We all are. But take this friendly advice to heart. Start out slow and simple. Don't expect to be as fast as you were at the end of last season. Months of TV and holiday parties didn't make you any better. In fact, if you're human like the rest of us you're rusty.
Start off with the basics. Every Spring Ben and I do an entire practice working on the draw, the reload, and shooting nothing but As. We start off ridiculously close to the targets and work ourselves away from them progressively, only as fast as we can hit all As. We also put a lot of emphasis on being smooth and efficient in both the draw and the reload. The mechanics are more important than the speed at this point. In fact we only use the timer for a start signal. We go as fast as we can shoot all As. No faster. If we're not shooting all As we're either going too fast or too far away. It's better to slow down on this set of drills. Time doesn't matter until you are nearing perfection. We try to work our way back to 50 yards doing this. If we're shooting well enough we make it back there pretty quickly. If we're not we stay close as long as it takes.
These simple skills are used on every stage and are the foundation you have to build properly in order to do everything else well. Transitions, and movement are equally important but wait until you put a day or two in on these basics and it will pay off in the long run.

Steel Challenge results with payouts
First, let me explain the procedure we used for figuring these out:
All divison winners get $40, and in divisions with 10 or more shooters 2nd in division gets $30. In divisions with 15 or more 3rd gets $20 unless they win their class which pays $20 anyway.
Class winners within each division get $20 with a 3 shooter minimum (not counting division winners) 2nd in class with more than 7 shooters gets $10. We're not doing payouts smaller than $10 so third is irrelevant this match.
We had a lot of classifed shooters so that part was easy. To classify people without USPSA classifications I used the average scores of classified shooters and assigned classifications to those witout them based on whether they were better or worse than those averages.
Is it a perfect system? No, but it does get some people further down the list some money back for their efforts, without relying on dumb luck scoring(lewis) and it gives unclassified shooters a chance to win too. Many of them did.
Winners: Your envelopes will be available at the next York USPSA match or Steel Challenge.

Steel Challenge Results
I'm really glad I cut off sign up when I did! Some good people were left out today, but the squads were already huge, and the day was very long. But, from all reports everyone had a good time. Kirk and I thank everyone who came out today and shot and especially those who worked to make this thing happen. From what we saw the experienced guys did a great job of working the rust out, and the new guys did really well too. We look froward to shooting with all of you again this season.
I haven't figured out the payouts yet, and I'm not going to post pictures tonight, but I wanted to get the results up. So without further ado here they are:

Steel Challenge 3/13
All systems are go for tomorrows match. Please remember to wear boots. Things are a bit muddy. If this were a USPSA match footing would be treacherous, but for a stand and shoot Steel Challenge match we'll be fine.
All the bridges in the area are open, so getting to the club will be easy.
We will be shooting 7 stages, so I recommend bringing 200 rounds or more. You should make up misses and there is always the possibility of a reshoot.
The match is still full.
We will start set-up at 9:00am and all help is appreciated.
Registration will begin at 10:00am and close at 10:30am. We will be shooting by 11:00am at the latest.
We will have hot dogs and drinks available for purchase.
Please drive slowly entering and exiting the club.
Remember we need everyone signed up by 10:30 at the latest.
Did I mention you're going to want to wear boots?

Pictures from the range this afternoon
If you show up for the work detail tomorrow you may want to park up front. As you can see the walnut grove is a little wet.
Pit 7 has a litle water left in it. Keep in mind it had quit raining several hours before this picture and the water level in the creek had already dropped over 2 feet, and was back in it's banks.
Pit 8. I guess we won't be using it this weekend, unless you want to waterski or something.
Steel Challenge Status
Well, we dodged the bullet this time. We got a lot of water last night, and it did overflow the banks, but it didn't do any damage to the ranges, and it is receding slowly but surely. Pit 8 is so full of water that it is overflowing into pit 7. So 8 is not usable and won't be on Sunday, but 7 and the rest are.
The match is full and we will not be taking anymore shooters. No sign-ups, no waiting list, and no walk ons. No exceptions, sorry.
Set up is still on tomorrow, and it won't be a recovery effort! Today the bridge on Log rd. and Ironstone Hill Rd. were closed so getting from the 83 to the club is tricky. Study a map, and allow some extra time to get to the club.
I will update this blog with more information for Sunday tomorrow after the set-up detail. Check in Saturday night.

Rifle for sale
This is a Marlin 15YN "Little Buckaroo" 22lr I am selling. It is made just for little kids to learn how to shoot. Both of mine are done with the basic learning. One of them kicks your butt on a regular basis(mine too). So we've progressed beyond this gun. It is in excellent condition and is barely used. It has a 16" barrel and a 12" length of pull making it just right for your kids or grandkids. It has adjustable iron sights and is grooved for easy scope mounting. These sell for about $150-175 new. I want someone to get some use out of it so I'm letting it go to anyone on this blog for $100. I'm not interested in shipping it, so for now I'm only considering face to face sales. No taxes, no transfer fees. Email me if interested.
I can bring it to the Steel Challenge Sunday if you'd like to see it.

Steel Challenge 3/13
On March 13th York Izaak Walton will host it's first Steel Challenge match of the year. We will start this match at 11:00am so things have a chance to warm up a little. We will be shooting 5-7 stages depending on the weather. The better it is, the more we will shoot. The minimum round count could be as little as 125 if it is cooler, and 175 if it is nicer. Bring plenty.
We will have several divisions for all combinations of centerfire and rimfire, scoped and iron sighted, revolver and automatic handguns. We will also have divisions for rimfire and centerfire carbines (pistol calibers only)
There will be a 150 power factor maximum allowed, and we don't allow hyper-velocity 22s or 22magnums, and we will check any suspect loads. Some 40s&w, and almost all factory 45acp are too powerful. 38 supers etc must be loaded down, and all 357 mag and 44 mag and the like are out. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. We can chrono before the match starts if necessary, but damaging our steel will result in your banishment from our kingdom.
For centerfire handguns you will be starting from the holster. Rimfire handguns do not.
It is preferred that you have 5 magazines or speedloaders for each gun you would like to use.
The entry fee will be $20 per gun. Two guns max. We will payout based on divisions and classes. If you have a USPSA classification we use it, if not we assign one. You do not have to be a member of USPSA, SCSA, or Izaak Walton to participate in this match, and no safety check is required for this match.
To sign up email us at yorksignup@gmail.com with your name, USPSA class if you have one, division(s), and anyone you would like to be squadded with. You should receive a confirmation email within a day or two with some more details about the match.

Area 8 Junior camp
We will be hosting the first ever Area 8 Junior Camp at York Izaak Walton on August 20th and 21st. Juniors are truly the future of our sport, and we intend to give them as much instruction and encouragement as we possibly can. This 2 day clinic will benefit juniors from around our region and is to be free to the participants. Area Director Harry Foltz is working towards sponsorship to help defray the costs of travel, hotels, and ammo to juniors and their parents/guardians, and several instructors have volunteered their time. Other than the fact that we will be using our facilities this will not require much of us at a club, though myself and at least a couple others have volunteered to help instruct and help with props and targets.
If you are intersted in donationg some time to instruct or help contact me. If you are, or know a junior who is interested in participating, contact Harry Foltz at
hf219@comcast.net
If you or someone you know would like to sponsor this event please contact Harry also. I think this event should get a lot of positive press.
