    Yep, I was thinking the same thing.

    I actually earned one of these last summer.  It was the only TRI I've earned since joining SASS back in 2004.

    Well. Trifecta nay be more precise, but those 3 ruled my day yesterday! (At least on the scoresheet)

  2. Was supposed to put 3 rifle on first target, only put 2. 
    1 miss (unfired round) 

    1 P (3rd shot went on wrong target 

    1 MSV round left on carrier 

     

    on the plus side, pretty day shooting with my Pards.!

  3. As many have days, the shells sit too deep. I really like the elastic shell holders. Mine was made by Doc Noper. None better. 
     

     I carry 10 shells. 90% stages only need 4. But, when I forget to reload belt I actually have enough for 2 stages! (It’s happened more than once)

  4. I once watched a guy remove side plates from a 73 to clear a jam. Was on stage 7 of 10 stage match. He really wanted clean match. His time was like 300 seconds. While he was safe with gun, it was too long. 
    as I recall, shooter made it thru that stage, but wound up with a miss and a P on next stage.

    The pistols should be fine, just use lead (not FMJ) for both the pistol and rifle (no round nose for the rifle). What’s the rifle barrel length? The stoeger is fine, it will be stiff for a while. Read the rules regarding proper shells. Yes, reach out to the club via email or phone. They’ll give you the lowdown. Don’t fool yourself and show up to your first match to say you will watch. You will shoot. You will be nervous as heck, and you will drive home with a grin that will last all day. Don’t be intimidated by the fast shooters. They were once slow too (I still am). Have fun!!!!

    Grin that last all day? Mine is still here 12 years later!

     

    yes Donovan, go to match. Plan to shoot. Every SASS club in the country will welcome you. If you have gun trouble and somebody says “try mine” take them up on it. 
    cinch up and hang on tight. You’re looking at a heck of a ride!

  6. Our club is considering different options for banking & club irs status. 
    there are several non-profit options. One is 501C (7) 

     

    our primary goal is to protect range property owners (who are very active shooters) the rest of club officers & membership and not run afoul of the IRS. 
     

    what does your club do? 

     

  7. What are these front sight thangs yall are talking about? Some new-fangled gaming device?? 
     

    we all laugh about not using front sights. Twice I’ve had front sight fall off of a pistol between loading table and firing line. When you skin that smoke wagon and no front sight you quickly realize how much you do use them!!! 
     

    like most, I dont get a tight sight picture when shooting at CAS distances. But I do use the sights. I’d suggest you shoot off of a rest, very deliberately to establish your trigger habits. Many will find that too much finger on the trigger will cause groups to shoot low and left (for right handed shooter). Maybe even have a pard shoot your guns as well.
