This Saturday we talked about getting together for practice at the FOP range. I haven’t heard much talk about it since last week when we snuck in an impromptu long range sight in sight it.

So the question is do we want to practice or go to the Steel City IPSC/USPSA pistol match. Me, Bullet Boy, is thinking about going to the match.

The match format for pistol will be 6 stages with an estimated 110-170 rounds. The match begins at 10:00 am at the action pistol ranges at Steel City Shooting Sports Association.

Happy 4th of July

Jul 05 2008 Published by under holiday, Shooting

Happy 4th of July. It was a beautiful day in Alabama. Any day were we get to celebrate our independence is a glorious day. It is a day to celebrate the freeing of tyranny from Great Britain after a long vicious war with the British. So be thank full for those founders of our country that fought so hard to give us the rights that we so enjoy everyday.

Be careful when out and about around the fireworks, boats, and generally safe. In lots of places, like Al, this is the weekend of highest vehicle accidents and fatalities. Be careful.

A couple points of business. As you know last week and this week we have undergone some changes in the back end. There are more changes to come.

One of our members has taken an entrenurial idea steemed from the BGM website. He started Shooting Sports Blog.

We will be merging our blog over to their system. The exact method has not yet been decided but we will be voluntarily moving over. When we get the exact details we will be sharing them.

As a promotion for the site with easy registration you will be registering for your own blog as well as being a memeber over at the forum where you can discuss and get solutions to questions about shooting sports. When the shooting sports store is up and running you will be able to use the same information over secure connections to make purchases. The store is the furthest away in being complete. So take a look over at shooting sports blog and offer suggestions wher eyou would like to see it go.

Don’t forget that this Saturday we have the Pistol Steel Plate Match at Pleasant Grove FOP. In addition to the steel plate match we will be having a 3 Gun Practice. We plan to run a couple different style stages with walls, steel plates, sporting clays, and silhouette targets. We may also have a couple swingers in place. The swingers will be on loan form Lee Knobloch.

Lee has been kind enough to grant us use of his personal swingers. Lee is a fantastic pistol competitor and if you ever want to know something about shooting or just want to chat give him a call over at the FOP range, 205.744.2600.

Hopefully the weather will be good. We always go even in inclimate weather. It adds to practical action of the the shoot. Check the weather.
