A Most Unusual Stage To End the Year


Sage Creek Gus  SASS #64320

Recommended Posts

Attended the last match of the season at a local club and they definitely ended the season with a very special treat.

 

Here is the stage. there was movement from one shooting position to the next for each firearm.

 

1. First handgun - five shots on three targets in Nevada Sweep.

 

2. Rifle - ten shots on four targets in Nevada Sweep

 

3. Second handgun - five shots on three targets in Nevada Sweep.

 

4. Shotgun - four KD targets.

 

5. Colt 1911 - seven shots on 4 targets in a Nevada sweep.

 

6. Single action Colt - five shots on a single target.

 

7. Browning BAR - ten shots at a stump fully automatic.

 

One shooter was a nine year old Buckaroo who had a grin on his face we had to unhook from the back of his head.

A nine year old with a full auto BAR??? Hope it was on a bi-pod. Those things weigh about 20 lbs. Pretty sure I would not have allowed him/her to shoot it - but it depends on the "kid". Size and experience both play into it.

 

Glad it worked out OK. Could have been different.

It was on a bench on sandbags. The shooter sat on a chair to shoot it.

 

I fired all ten rounds in one burst. The barrel didn't climb at all and the recoil wasn't nearly as hard as I expected, just a steady push.

 

The boy fired five - 2 shot bursts.

Wow, that sounds like fun! I would be wondering, since I have not shot a BAR, how many bullets I could expect to hit on the stump 1st time out?!

 

I never got a chance to go over and look at the stump. Actually the stump was a section of log about 16 inches in diameter set up in front of a very large pile of dirt. I was too busy watching everyone shoot to see where the bullets were going.

 

For those who are wondering, we did not count the misses with the BAR.

What a unique way to produce kindling!!!

 

Sounds like you guys did it safely. It would be a hoot to shoot that stage. Like the ad says "Priceless!!!!"

That boy as almost floating after that experience.

 

How many nine year olds in our country have fired a fully automatic weapon. Of course, in the mideast it's probably pretty common.
