Saturday 9/20 is the penultimate Steel Shoot for the year, setup at 8:30, shooting starts at 9:30!

Location: Gopher Campfire Club in Hutchinson.

Truck owners please bring one if you can, it makes setup and tear down so much easier.

Everyone's welcome!

See you there

Selurcspi, you are awesome because you not only organize these excellent events and spread your knowledge & wisdom among the unwashed multitudes, but you actually know the definition of 'penultimate'.

I had to look it up!

I will be there this time. If anyone needs a holster, I have a big inventory due to the St Paul gun show on 9/27-28 that I'm going to.

The gun show is in Hutchinson on the 20/21 as well. I'm going to the show; may stop out to Gopher afterward. Is it in the same place as ~8-9 years ago?

And, how late will this event go? I won't be leaving the gun show 'til after noon.

Can I ask some nube questions? (o.k., that's one)

2. What gun do I need?

3. How many fast reloads do I need? (isn't it a timed event?)

4. Do I need a holster, and does it have to draw from a specific place (like no appendix, no shoulder, etc.)?

5. Is there anything I need to know that I didn't ask?

Sorry for the dumbness, but I can't find info/explanation about how steel shoots work.

I usually shoot with my carry gun.

I'd bring as many mags as you have for the gun. I'd have min of 4 loaded for each stage. worst case, if there's someone willing, you could drop / throw your mags back and behind you when done with them and someone behind the SO could reload them and hand them to you for the next iteration of a stage. I've done that for several people their first time.

you can shoot all stages except the man v man starting from low ready.
Man v Man involves running, then drawing while in the box

All the holsters I've seen were Strong side. Most of them were OWB. I'd want to stay simple, slow, smooth, and sure ... speed and confidence will come with practice.

Sunscreen, water, a hat, extra ammo, an extra gun if you have it just in case your primary breaks down. Eyes and ears.

most stages do not require a reload unless you run the gun dry. there MAY be a reload stage though, I don't know the course of fire. The Man v Man has a mandatory reload before the final stop popper.

Thanks guys. So, can I just show up with $10 and a learning attitude? If so, I'll see ya in the morning.

I have a 40 cal with 2 10 rd. mags, and a 45 with 3 six rd. mags. I'll bring both and use which ever Selurcspi recommends.

Is this a "do not carry into the event" thing? Again, sorry for the nube/dumb questions, just don't want to screw up.

Is it your right to carry?


Then Carry (and strictly speaking, you don't need a permit)


On the rangeif your carry gun is out of the way and not being used for the shoot, you can carry. If you use it for the shoot, it's a cold range!

Holy smokes, I had to use The Google for that one. Second-to-last, of course.

Looking forward to meeting you, bensdad.
