Upcoming shoots in Norry Co.!

[mikepro8]

Hey guys and gals.
Decided to put a few of the upcoming shooting events on here to see if anyone is interested.

This Saturday, (Sep. 15) 10 Am at the northumberland/pt. township gun club is a CMP shoot... bring your M1 Garands, 1903s and M1 carbines! I cant remember the costs, think it is 5 dollars. Great time, good people.

Also, this SUNDAY (Sep. 16) is a bowling pin shoot at Keystone Fish and Game. Registration starts at 930 I believe and shooting starts at 1000 am. Cost is 6 dollars.

Next Sunday (Sep. 23) is the creme de la creme... Sniper course shoot at Keystone Fish and Game. First of its kind of course in this area! I have shot it on two different days for a total of three times. GREAT course, gives a different feel than shooting on a line. Course runs up through a little hollow. 9 stations, 11 targets to shoot at from various distances. email me or respond if interested - I have course rules and what not on a .tif file. costs is 6 per run through the course. High shooter for any of 8 classes receives a framed certificate. again, great time, good people!

what can you tell me about the "sniper course" ive hear talk of it earlier when it was just in the planning stages and they were trying to ge the details ironed out.

the kfg is a great club with alot of good people from what ive seen of it, i just wish i had some free time to get there once in a while

I can tell you its a lot of fun. They divide the classes into 8 groups. First, they divide by caliber, .257 and up and .243 and smaller. THEN they divide by military and sporter, then again by open/iron sights and optics.

If your email is in your profile, I can email you the range rules. If not, feel free to PM me and I can get them to you.

Open sights seem to have it a bit easier... they shoot at 10 inch steel plates at varying distances... my best guess is 30 - over 200 yards. Optics of ANY kind, including red dot or eotech type sights (even without magnification) shoot at 5 inch plates.

You carry everything you need, a total of 22 rounds shot possible.

There are 9 stations, with 11 targets. You go through with at least one other shooter who acts as your spotter. Also with you is a range guide who scores you. You get two shots at every plate. If you hit it on the first shot, all the better since you are scored on total shots/total hits. If you miss any plate twice, you move to the next target. Your really have to know your rifle's zero. The last two are man sized plates with "X ring" in the upper torso and head area.

I have shot the course with my AR the first time through and last time with my M1 Garand and my AR.

They made the course well, lots of work went into it.

'nother shoot on the 28th???

[deth502]

I got my NRA LEO Patrol Rifle Instructor Certification at the Northumberland/Point Twp Range.......very nice place.

There are ammo restrictions... no armor piercing or incendiary rounds (including tracers) Other than that, no restrictions on rifles or ammo. Most everyone I know uses FMJ. I have seen people shoot everything from M1 Carbine to SKS, Mini 14, M1 Garand, AR 15, FAL, Swiss K31, Mosin/Nagants, sporter rifles, you name it, they shoot it.
Come on out! Even if you cant find someone to shoot with, their pair you up with at least one other shooter plus a guide. I have met some very nice people at the last three shoots.

[deth502]

just got back from the shoot. GREAT TIME!!

i suggest anyone nearby to try it.

just have to remember to bring more guns next time, or at least more ammo!!! (not missing as much would probably be another good alternitive )


mike, there is a "shoots" or "competition" forum on here, maybe posting the rules + times there would get the news out?

[mikepro8]

Will do, Sean.

Nice to meet you, thanks for coming out. When I get home I will get the rules posted somewhere on the Competition forum.

It stinks you didnt bring enough ammo to go around again. You know for next time though.

The seconed time through that Pete guy shot a 1903a3 - we were tied for first place in military iron sights big bore when we left, but there were 4 other guys shooting in that class that just began shooting. I'll see next month how I did.

[deth502]

hit some paper w/ it, (the g3) and found it about 16" high + rt, dont know if ill bring it next time, but if i do, hoprfully ill have the sights on. then maybe i could go 2 rnds w/ 30 shots!!
