January 14th shoot

Sunday, January 14th is our next scheduled shoot date.  Considering the current ground conditions and the 10 day forecast it is becoming increasingly unlikely that we will be able to have the Falling Steel match scheduled.  We just won't be able to pound steel, or the nails that holds it into the ground.

However, some of are just bored and want to shoot.  The replacement for this will be a Sargent York shoot.  This is easier to set up and better for crappy conditions.  The firearm rules are simple:  Any AR-15 style rifle in .223 or 5.56.  The target is a simple V.  The distance is 25 yards.  The position is standing unsupported.  No slings.  The object will be to fire one round and strike closer to the bottom of the V, without touching the black, than your opponent.  We will do this as a double elimination bracket tournament until we get cold or bored.  Each tournament will cost one dollar (please bring one dollar bills) and the winner gets 80% of each pot.  We keep 20% to pay for targets.

This should move along pretty well and even if it's cold you won't need to gear up, or move away from the burn barrel for very long.  It won't use up much ammo and it should be challenging.

We will start sign up around the 7th.  I just wanted to give you time to check your sight in.
