Attica Jack #23953 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 During the winter, I shoot 22 cal. scrimmage shoots at my gun club, lots of fun. Today while getting the Michigan SASS shoot schedules, I already see a conflict. The first Sat. in April is the last scrimmage shoot of the year and it is also the first Wild Bunch shoot of the season. I just hate that when that happens....can't be two places at the same time. I will shoot the Wild Bunch match, as that is my favorite game, depending on the unpredictable Michigan weather. The scrimmage is shot indoors.
Boulder Canyon Bob# 32052L Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Yep, we need some Wed shoots, not enough Sat and Sun in the week for us retired folks.
Dantankerous Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 MY conflict started when I discovered cowboy action shooting. I work at least 2 weekends a month and frequently 3. Needless to say it's really hard to feed my addiction while still employed.

Before the addiction, I'd have to take my vacation in December or lose it. After the addiction began, I was running out of vacation. My solution was retirement.

H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 My conflict arose when most of the local clubs where I am switched from Saturday to Sunday. I can't shoot on Sunday, I go to church.
Hillbilly Drifter Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Sunday is typically an open day in Range schedules. Many cowboy matches are on sunday. I am ok missing church for these.
Boulder Canyon Bob# 32052L Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 I'd rather be at the range thinking about church than at church thinking about the range.

At least you can surf the wire in your control room.

Attica Jack #23953 Posted March 14, 2019 Author Posted March 14, 2019 Dutch. A scrimmage shoot is shot with 22 cal. open sighted single shot or semi-auto, mag. fed rifles. Our range is 20yds, you are limited to only loading 4 rds. and 4 rd. reloads. Our range shoots 4 teams at a time, and there is 5 to 6 relays. Teams are drawn at random. Each team member has 4 breakable targets to shoot at, I.E. 5 team members 20 targets. The object is to beak all the targets in the fastest time and shoot down a bowling pin to stop the clock. If you break all your targets start shooting another team members targets. Each relay has smaller targets, our first relay is 3 inch clay targets, and then smaller targets.......the last relay has been shooting a hanging orange paint stirrer with a bowling pin hanging from the bottom, the object is to saw the stick in half dropping the pin, a black line is painted across the stick for shooters to shoot at.
Hunt Mountain Drifter Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Charlie is that why you come see me to get away from your wife.
