February FunShoot

And now for something a little different:

This Saturday, the 23rd of February, we will be presenting our Monthly FunShoot. Start time will be 10am, signup 'round 9:30am.

I visited a friends' range in Maryland, for their monthly pistol "blast fest", and had a ball, so I though I would try it out on you folks.

There will basically be 2 stages. 

Stage1: One giant stage with 3 plate racks, and all of the non-falling steel I can find, all in a line at various distances. Then we build a common firing line with tables.  The idea is to have shooters at the line at will, to just plink away at will. No official organization. No resets (non falling steel here).
There will be a couple of wandering Range Officer types about to keep tabs on safety.
The safety addition to this, is that I will require chamber flags for pistols on the line. Pistols, and PCC's here, no shotguns.

Stage 2: Man on man, or a single Masochistic individual. We will setup 2 stars, 2 drop trees,  and whatever interesting falling things I can find for a Man on Man stage. Each shooter starts from the outside and works in, until the final double falling plate to determine the winner. Expect 25-30 targets per shooter. Our standard "2 of any 3 guns" rules for this stage will apply. If a single shooter wants to take on the entire array, well then that's just fine too (think PSA practice...)

I may do another stage or two, depending on setup help.

Setup will be this Friday (the 22nd) at 3pm. Success for this idea will be directly determined by the number of folks who show up.

Fee will be $20 for adults, $5 for anyone under 18.

My buddy's range had a grill fired up with hot Brats, 'twas a nice touch. No promises from me, but if someone is interested in being grub master for the morning.....I will supply requested food items for the master. Give me a hollar.

Some Boilerplate follows:

Firearm choice will be designated for the individual stage; standard pistol caliber handgun, standard pistol caliber carbine, or shotgun (7 1/2 lead shot or smaller) are acceptable. You may bring all 3 (or more) to the shoot, and you can change the choice of guns on different stages, but only two guns max per stage.
Yes, .22's are acceptable.

York is a cold range. Unloaded firearms are carried around the range holstered, boxed, bagged, slung, carted or in a sock. Long guns require a chamber flag, and they will be for sale.

Bring family and friends, we are very new shooter and kid friendly. Spectators are welcome!

Everyone on the range MUST WEAR EYE PROTECTION WITH SIDE SHIELDS. We will be shooting steel, and it creates little flying bits of metal that can hit you on occasion. There will be eye protection for sale.

cheers
