York's June FunShoot 6/22/2013

[Just a Guy at the Range]

Registration is now open for York's June FunShoot (Saturday the 22th) at yorksignup@gmail.com.

This month will be 7 stages, beginning with 4 repeats in the back pits from this months totally awesome 3 gun match. We will then add some more clay, Bullesyeye/PPC work and whatever food I stumble across this week....maybe Oreos....

As usual you may shoot this as a pistol or carbine only, or most any combination of multigun you like (substitute pistol caliber carbine for centerfire rifles please).

There will be stage descriptions and scoring for those so inclined, as well as the ever popular IDC class.

We'll start off with registration at 8, shooting by 9am.

cost is $15 for adults, $5 for the under 18 folks.

Feel free to email with any questions.

Gary I would love to be there for your fun shoot since they are always AWESOME but my daughter has her state fastpitch tournament coming up and has practice Saturday so I'm out until August for fun shoots.

(I just signed up.) Are shotguns also included on this? My crapped out at the last match and I need to run it to see if I fixed it.

For the sake of clarity: I can shoot my center fire AR; The highlighted above is if you want to shoot at pistol targets with a rifle, correct?

You certainly can run your shotty, you could even run it as a shotgun only course if you like, although you will be limiting yourself a bit, due to the presence of paper targets this month, and 2 stages where shotguns cannot be used. Of coures, given ammo availability......

It's all about choices.

Except this one. The restriction on rifles is absolute, only carbines/rifles chambered in pistol calibers (.22, 9mm, .40, .45 etc) are permitted on the range on FunShoot day. This is due the the danger of accidentally engaging a steel target with, say a .223/5.56. The shrapnel from the impact of a round of that velocity is dangerous, and we cannot risk an injury. This is a FunShoot thing. Then there is also the issue of making pretty little holes in our steel.....

See you Saturday

Ahh. OK. Shotgun and pistol it is. A .22LR carbine would work though, right?

could i use a ruger mark iii pistol with a red dot? would that fit in any classes or center fire only? also if i can use this what kind of range will the targets be set any past 20 or 30 yards if pistols only ?

Absolutely, .22LR is a popular choice. I see many 10/22's, 15-22's and clones.

yes, handgun classes are:

Centerfire Iron sighted
Centerfire Scoped
Rimfire Irons
Rimfire Scoped
In both auto and revolver.

A RedDot (even 1X) is considered a scope, on FunShoot day.

Pistol ranges will be within 15-20 yards, with one optional out at 25.

.30 Carbine being a unique caliber to the weapon and designed as a pistol replacement acceptable? Curious for future events since I am working this upcoming weekend.

.30 carbine is a border caliber, but has been deemed rifle equivalent for the purposes described here, so it is a no go. I share your disappointment, as I cannot run mine either. It really isn't about the intended firearm, it is about the bullet velocity at the close ranges we shoot steel.

sorry 'bout that.

This was my first "fun shoot" and for 3 gunners, there is no better practice! 3 gun stages with the flexability to shoot the gun you want to get in the practice you'd like? Priceless. This is DEFINITELY on my calender from now on. Thanks for setting these up, Gary. I can't believe I've waited this long to come to one.
