Anyone off here going to the Practical Rifle match this Saturday at TriCounty? I'm gonna be out there, my first one of these types. Should be a blast.

If anyone isn't familiar with these it's a "Practical Rifle" match so typically an AR style of rifle. Usually a handful of different courses of fire at steel, from behind different types of cover etc.

I'd love to see some of you guys out there!
 
Re: Practical Rifle @ TriCounty this Saturday

I'll be there.

Are you going to be at the orientation/safety class tomorrow afternoon?
 
Re: Practical Rifle @ TriCounty this Saturday

I wont make it this weekend but I'm going to do my best to make it out next month. Have fun.
 
Re: Practical Rifle @ TriCounty this Saturday

Is it open to the public?

I'd like to Spectate a match!
 
Re: Practical Rifle @ TriCounty this Saturday

I won't be there unless my receiver set comes back from noveske today. I will be there next month.
 
Re: Practical Rifle @ TriCounty this Saturday

Re: Practical Rifle @ TriCounty this Saturday

This one was the first one I made in years. Getting skinnier so I can do more move and shooting.

Re: Practical Rifle @ TriCounty this Saturday

I dunno what squad number I was but I was the first squad to shoot stage one. I RO'ed stage one with Jorge for a while. I was wearing a tan jacket with ray ban aviators most of the day.

Re: Practical Rifle @ TriCounty this Saturday

Oh hello Garrett! Nice shooting!!! You frekin killed it out there. Glad I could get your rifle back to you. I knew it looked familiar when I opened the case to see if I could find any identifying info.

Re: Practical Rifle @ TriCounty this Saturday

Looking fun kids, I should be getting my recievers back from noveske monday, build monday night and do load development sunday. Hope to be out playing with you guys soon!
 
Re: Practical Rifle @ TriCounty this Saturday

It will be nice to have weekends off again. I'm looking forward to shooting these again. Heck, I might even shoot a rifle instead of the camera once and a while.... If I can just remember which end of the bullet goes to the front of the magazine...
 
Re: Practical Rifle @ TriCounty this Saturday

That looks like a lot of fun, for a newbe, do you have to take a safety class to shoot one of these, or do you get a mentor to help you through the day?

Both. Orientation is at 1400 the Friday before the match at the AR range.
 
Re: Practical Rifle @ TriCounty this Saturday
