    A new wrinkle for this month's matches - BOTH match days will be our new TWO-GUN match, that is Rifle and pistol. The setup of the stages will probably be different between the two days so that anyone who shoots the first match doesn't have an advantage over those who didn't have the opportunity to shoot the first one.

    Please make sure you have a SLING for your rifle because you will TRANSITION to your pistol. This is not a THREE GUN match where you put down your rifle or shotgun after you shoot it. You will need to SAFELY sling your rifle and draw your pistol for the remaining pistol targets. You will need at least two rifle magazines and at least two pistol magazines for FORCED reloads. Round count for rifle will be about 30 and 12 for pistol PER STAGE. Figuring on three stages - no side match.

    Looking forward to seeing you there.

    How do I find non-armor piercing ammo for the 5.56. I know about the green tips but I accidentally bought some armor piercing that did not have green tip. If I stick to purchasing 223 would that eliminate the worry?

    Dang. I'm going to have to work April 25th, so I'm going to miss this and the K&M match. I'm trying to decide between shooting this match on the 19th or the USPSA match on the 18th....

    That's a shame. The 2 gun matches are the most fun thing I've done with guns thus far.
    Maybe Bullets & Bones? Mike? Bob?

    Kudos on the range for sure.
    I've got a sweet you're welcome to run. It's even set up for proper sized shooters. ;)

    MaddMan: - Now you have no excuse, so just get your butt out there and have fun with the rest of us. Once you shoot the match, then you'll have an excuse (if you need one) to buy one. "But Honey, all the other guys have one and we can use it here at the house after a hurricane. I'll shoot the rifle, while you back me up with the pistol !" Now how can she resist that? You jumped in with the pistol at the match, now jump in all the way with both feet up to your neck!
