Last shoot of the summer! Let's get together and make some noise in celebration. I'll try and bring my grill. If you haven't been to a group shoot before...

Who is this for: Basically, everyone. You do have to be a member of either PAFOA or PMSC. PMSC members may bring a guest per the club's guest policy. PAFOA members that are not a member of PMSC may not bring a guest. Fee is $5 for non-PMSC members. All ages and experience levels are welcome, even those without a firearm
What is a group shoot: Just an informal gettogether where PAFOA members can hang out, chat, eat, and play with a bunch of different firearms. We'll usually have a friendly, casual side competition as well.
When is this shoot? Please see above for the time. We ask that you arrive at 9:45 AM, as we try to relay important safety and event information to the group.
Where is this shoot: Please see above for the address. As you enter the gate, take the right road of the fork. Follow the road up the hill, and around the gas well. As you reach the top, follow the road as it turns left. Continue to the large bay at the end. Note that, in addition to parking in the main bay where the shoot is held, the club has now opened additional parking as you continue right past the bay. Feel free to use this parking, or parking on the side of the road towards the bay, if the parking at the bay is filled. Please use common sense when parking - don't block traffic or a bay. Do not park in a bay itself.

Why go to the shoot: To meet like minded folks and have fun! I've made a bunch of great friends, and tried some really cool firearms at these shoots.

One of the usual group shoot attendees suggested that we do a...

Dicken Drill!
Everyone's been doing this everywhere (I believe the club has some planned), so I figured we'd do it. Now, we'll have to modify the drill for 2 reasons...
1) Our max range is on the order of 25 yards
2) I don't want to require drawing from holster.

So, I'll modify the drill accordingly by subtracting from your allowed time. From the cover (we typically use blue 55 gallon style barrels), with your firearm at a low ready pointed down range, engage a USPSA style silhouette target with a total of 10 rounds. You will be allowed 13 seconds. USPSA minor only style scoring (A zone = 5 points, C = 3, D = 1). Any centerfire handgun 9mm and above allowed, with any sights (good luck revolver guys!). Don't have a handgun? No problem. I'll have your choice of an HK VP9, or a red dot equipped FN FNX45 Tactical for you to use. I just ask that you provide the ammo.

I'll be updating this thread periodically with additional information, pictures, and more. Hope to see you all there!
