2008 Georgia FAL match forms are up

[stimpsonjcat]

FAL match forms here (http://www.rbgc.org/FAL%20Match/Forms/2008FALform.pdf)

We're staying on the 100 yard range this year.

There will be some changes in the action shooting section. It will be a bit more physical...more movement than before and some different targets to deal with.

The target section will be very similar to the last three years.

Ideas for side-matches will be entertained.

And, of course, the after-match party.

I look forward to seeing all of you again!

Looks like the pdf busted the links for the shirts...here they are:

[hagar]

More physical! I need a handicap... :sad:

After match party? You guys need a handicap....:tongue:

Tac-40, you want to car pool or share a motel?

[hagar]

Shucks, just found out I will be in GA that weekend, but not Riverbend. We made arrangements 6 months ago to go camp at Stone Mountain with my wife's cousin and her husband.

[JeffJ]

More physical....bench press 225x 15 to qualify!!!!

[stimpsonjcat]

Bummer Hagar! You'll be missed.

It's just some more up and down and maybe another 100 yards to run...don't panic.

Vanish for the day, abandon the family, enjoy yourself. It will be OK.

Abandon the family.

Abandon the family.

Family bad, FALshoot gooooooooood ! (ordragemalong)

[tac-40]

Hot dog, count me in. I'll be there Friday as usual, so if you need help with the set Bruce, let me know.

Hagar, just looked at the map and found this:

RBGC...................................Stone Mountain

See, it aint that far and you would be back by dark. Unless you go to the after match de-brief , stress relief, and B/S,er, I mean planning session. You can bring the wife unit. After all, the match is family oriented entertainment.

100 yds. Are you sure you want us to run that far? It could take most of the daylight hours for some of us (ME) to motivate that far without mechanical aid.:uhoh: Oh well, I guess it is time to hit the track and start some laps. And I thought I could spend this time practising shooting.:wink: :]

[womsterr]

Guys - i'm sorry to hijack a thread. I live in Kennesaw GA and would love to attend the next event. I'm looking for a local builder to build my metric kit. Anyone know of any? I've contacted M&M but they are waayy out...

[stimpsonjcat]

You need a rifle built for the FAL match?

No nobler deed could require my time.

Email me your phone number or what-not and we will get a meeting planned.

[L Haney]

I've printed out the forms for mailing, try to get 'em gone this weekend. I'll try to drag the guy that got me started on these infernal weapons with me. Shouldn't be too hard, we work at the same two man office. And,he started all this. Be advised, he's a former marine. He knows a thing or two about shooting. ------Running____ damn, thought all that was behind me.

Lowell

[stimpsonjcat]

DING!

L Haney scores the first trash-talk of the year!

Just messing with you L, someone always cranks it up. Welcome to our fun little match, I look forward to shooting with you.

[Horseman]

Cool!
I have all these cans of Radway Green hanging around and now an excuse to burn some of it up!

[L Haney]

Just thought of sumpin'. Those guys in NM call themselves "thugs". So what are a bunch of Georgia based rednecks,reprobates,ridge runners and 'ner do wells referred to as? Don't say relatives, got that covered!:p

[womsterr]

Anyone have a link to the Georgia FALrs Yahoo Group?

Believe me. I'm thinking of it! If I get 1/2 a chance, I will be there...

[JohnnyReb]

I'm hoping to make it again. Hopefully the Para-Pig will be ready to go by then! :D

[tac-40]

Still trying to figure out which FAL to bring for use. If I get the Para up to 100%, I might use it. It is handier in the combat portions of the match stages.

Oh well, decisions, decisions.

[tac-40]

Naw, the Indian is just fine.

Let's see, couple a years ago I had a straight pull EBR 10 shot with 20 round capacity. The next year was the I better sight it in the night before, why are my sight so far off rifle. And then there was the stripper. She shed her skin faster than a monkey peeling a banana. And HOT, boy was she hot. I needed gloves to handle her.

So yeah, I really need to figure out which one I'll bring this year. Have to keep up with tradition.

[moses]

"I comin and hell's comin with me!":eek:

[hagar]

"And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him."

You mean Johnny Reb, Otis and Pittbull?;)

[tac-40]

Well, I finally got off my behind and got my paperwork in the mail. Bruce, you should be getting a box in the mail around Monday (lots of paperwork for this match dadgummit). Just make sure you look inside for envelope.

Still haven't figured out which one I'll run.

Plus, ROBMAC and I are making arrangements to have EMDII at the match. We told him no excuses. The hearse better come by so we can verify the funeral. :biggrin: So it looks like FALBorg will rise to the occasion. Hopefully we'll shoot well too!!!!:rofl:

[stimpsonjcat]

TAC, got your mail yesterday...Thank you very much for your contributions to the prize table! How do you want to be listed on the credits?

It just wouldn't be the same without you, Ted, and Rob, all shooting at the match. May it always be so!

[tac-40]

No need to be listed for my donations. The way I shoot, people talk about me for months afterwards.:D Too bad it isn't because I am such a good shot.:mad:

[hagar]

Don't underestimate yourself Mike. My personal goal at the shoots is to beat YOU!:wink:

[L Haney]

Anybody know how many attendees we have so far? I get nervous about stuff I put in the mail, sometimes we get FTF malfunctions (inbound and outbound) from the post office here. Guess I'd just like to know if my paperwork made it in.

Lowell

[stimpsonjcat]

Send me an email to the address on the form and I will check when I get home, but I think I did get your paperwork.

I do not cash the checks til much closer to the match.

[stimpsonjcat]

Hey anyone from Greensboro planning on making the trip this year?

I found a deal on some bulk aluminum there and was hoping I could pay someone to pick it up and bring it to me.

[stimpsonjcat]

Mr Haney, I have your application.

Anyone else that has sent theirs, just email me for confirmation if you want it.

[Saiga-12]

My receiver won't be here in time :(

[stimpsonjcat]

There will be a zillion FALs there to shoot, I can bring a spare if you like.

Are you local (GA)?

[Bug Tussell]

Sounds like fun. :bow:

[DYNOMIKE]

Hey Stimpy~
PM & E-mail inbound....

[tac-40]

Broke out the L1A1 today. It is still good to go. Had some issues with the para, so most likely that is the one I'll bring. No need for surprises.:eek:

Also worked with the FN-49. One hole 10 shot groups at 25 yds coming in a little over an inch. I may have to practice my stripper clip loading techniques. Ah but it is 30-06.:sad:

Oh well, decisions, decisions!!!!!!!

[stimpsonjcat]

TAC, you could shoot the 49 in the 'other' class if you wanted. Some folks were going to do that 2 years ago but couldn't make it. There will be at least one other shooter in other.

Saiga, where are you located?

[mojo_matic]

Can an M-14 or HK-91 be used in "other" class?

[stimpsonjcat]

Sorry Mojo...FAL relatives only.

But again, spares can be made available.

[moses]

Can a Browning High power be used in the "other class"? :D

[tac-40]

Oh please Stimpy, let Moses shoot his Hi-Power. Then maybe the rest of us will have a chance at the top prize. I think I can beat him in the accuracy stages and I am not sure if the 9mm has the oomph to take down the plates cleanly at 100 yds. This is where I'll make up some time (I hope):]

[moses]

Tac-40 please read....
In the "other class"
Wouldn't help you anyway unless you are shooting in the "other class"
Besides I think it's Stimpy's turn to win it this year?

[stimpsonjcat]

No hi-powers, though I have others pushing me to have a hi-power side match.

This could happen at some point when we have our own ranges to play on. Yes I know I have been saying this a while.

Turn? Did you say TURN?!?! He who wins this match has his mind and gear dialed in on match day...nothing else counts!

I *have* been shooting the FAL in the local 3-gun matches since I discovered I have more surplus 308 than 223. And we have been doing well!

But if I don't get some target practice in the round things will likely do me in just like last year. :redface:

Oh, I may as well start asking here for who wants to sponsor the match this year...TAPCO will not be on the ticket...anywhere. Donate gear or cash and get your name on the shirts!

[moses]

So it isn't your turn? Cool! Can you say repeat! LOL!
I just bought 2 high power clones! That'd be sweet a high power side match! Make it so!

I will of course donate some stuff as will CMP Armory.

PM inbound

[tac-40]

Well, I am still deciding whether or not to use the L1A1 or the para. Both are looking good in the performance department. Just had a thought. I can wear that uber tactical vest I won last year and use it with the para. Dress in all black with helmet -no, a balaclava- knee pads, nomex gloves and a big patch on the back that says MALL SECURITY.:D :D :D

Where's all the trash talk?

[Prototype Services]

Stimpy,
I'll try to come this year and watch. I thought I was going to meet you Saturday and help load the lathe.
Any chance I can testfire my L1A1 para? I probably need to drill out the gasport.

[Brass Rat]

Mine and Bob's registrations are going in the mail tomorrow.

May will be a big month for shooting with Rifleman's Weekend the first weekend and the FAL match on the last.

[Buzzstrike]

Now I've heard about these Matches over on ARFCOM.

Now I'll just need to take a look at my work schedule, and ammo stash and see if attendance is possible.


Hope to make it.


Buzz.

[stimpsonjcat]

Proto,

Come on out to River Bend this Saturday for the March 3-gun, we'll test that thing! Seriously, email me and we can find some time to go to the range and test your rifle.

Where were you Saturday? You're lucky Rooster and Adam didn't break in on you!

Trash talk has never served me well.

[Buzzstrike]

So Stimpy....

Are you going to be a the 3 gun match this comming weekend?

Hmm...


I was thinking of going as well.....

Are you going to run a FAL by chance?????



Now I really need to take a look at my ammo stocks.......



Buzz.

Yes, I'm GA (Kennesaw area). The offer is very kind, but I couldn't accept. Are people allowed to come and just watch?

[stimpsonjcat]

Saiga-12

Well you can TRY to do that...but I warn you folks will be trying to strap rifles and loaded mags to you all day. Seriously, yes, come on out and watch.


Buzzstrike

Yes I will be at the RBGC 3-gun this saturday. Saturday is my birthday! I will be shooting the FAL in both heavy-metal and in iron-sights classes (assuming Tony lets me).

In irons I will be shooting the Saiga-12...no, not shooting Saiga-12, shooting the saiga-12...this is confusing.

[moses]

Hey will we be able to use the sling again on the target section and the prone section of the action shoot?

Also anyone needing a mag holding rig for this shoot check this out

http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=410678

I ordered one of these just to see how it was because it was so inexpensive. It holds FAL mags two per pouch just fine! And 4 on the to outside pouches!
14 FAL mags total and 2 AR mags to boot in the left shoulder pouch!
Seems to be stitched pretty heavy duty also!

[tac-40]

14 FAL mags total and 2 AR mags to boot in the left shoulder pouch

Moses, while I don't think YOU will need 14 mags, please load that thing up. The extra 200 pounds of ammo might slow you down enough for us big-boned shooters to keep up with ya.:p :eek:

[stimpsonjcat]

Originally posted by moses

Yes

and the prone section of the action shoot?


No, but just because you will not be starting holding the rifle, it will be lying down in a mud puddle filled with snapping turtles, and I do not want the slings getting caught on any of the broken glass and razor wire in there.

OK, well, only up thru the second comma is true.

[moses]

I like the way that sounds! Snapping turtles!:bow:

Tac I will actually be using a bar belt as I shouldn't need 14 mags (I hope)
Just wanted to give a heads up on a pretty good deal IMHO.

I am quicker getting the mags out of the BAR belt than the chest rig.

I do love the chest rig for an EOTWAWKI scenerio and might have to get a couple more.

Stimpy, I will try to hook up the old computer tonight to send you that Cartouche for the MGW logo.

[stimpsonjcat]

OK Moses, I have solved my problem with generating vector art by the way.

Buy me one of those chest rigs and I'll pay you for it when you get here. I refuse to give SG any more of my pennies, but I'll buy one off of you!

[Prototype Services]

Stimpy,
Good thing they were just talkin' trash.
Adam knows of my health issues, and we had planned to call/meet after lunch.
I had no way of knowing they would be calling at 7am. I had no idea they knew where I lived either, but....
All-in-all, it worked out great and I enjoyed meeting them. Just wish they had more time here and weather was better.
Saturday isn't good, but I sure need to hit the range and try this sucker out.
We live so close, we ought to get together on some projects. I know you stay busy with your family.

If you had no issues with Rooster then you will do just fine in the FAL community. They were a tad early!

You tell me when you have a good day on a weekend and we will go to the range. Even this Sunday might work, but not early, I will doubtless be hung over. There's nothing like birthing new rifles!

We live so close, we ought to get together on some projects. I know you stay busy with your family.


My family is both small...and large. Welcome to the large part.

[Prototype Services]

Sunday afternoon MIGHT be good.
I emailed you, might be wrong address.
If not, another weekend afternoon. I have a new AR45 that needs to be broken-in, the para testfired, and as soon as I get a LPK, I will have my retro AR pistol needing testing.
Email me back so I know address is correct. I'll leave my cell#

[tac-40]

My vacation has been approved so I am a confirmed attendee. Damn, now I really gotta figure out which Fal I am going to run.

The pre Match shooters meeting, aka trashtalk and B/S session, is going to be at the Ruby Tuesdays in Dawsonville. Meeting time will be at 7:30 pm. Wear something FAL to be recognized. I'll spring for the first round of iced water. I'll be bringing a LARGE bottle of Tylenol for those of you that will get talked into a tasting/sipping session by Frank. Muzzles brakes, covered firing line and a hangover don't go together well.

No fair warning the n00bs!!!!

[tac-40]

No fair warning the n00bs!!!!

Hey, they are young and indestructible. Just ask them. Plus they are used to partying all night and having to get up in the morning;) .

Stimpy, will a Moses Hurricane Flash Hider put me in the "OTHER" class? It is only a FH and not a brake.

[Jon Frum]

Looks like despite giving Hagar shit, I will not be able to make it for the first time in 5 years. I will miss it!

[stimpsonjcat]

I would need an honest assessment of whether it provides any additional recoil management properties over the stock devices.

I am inclined to believe it does not.

[hagar]

Don't count me out yet! If I show up at the last minute, will there be room to shoot?:wink:

[moses]

Stimpy my Hurricane is basically comparable to a Vortex flashider.
Which is basically a Stoll flashider with slanted slots instead of straight.

You approved them the last 2 years for use.
They offer no muzzle brake type advantages.

They just look cool as hell and hide the flash damn well!

[stimpsonjcat]

I am confident there will be a few last minute slots available.

[tac-40]

Took the L1A1 out and it is dead on, as usual. Still gotta get the para to the range and run it through some drills.

Stimpy, as usual, I'll be in town early on Friday. If you need help at the range just say so. I'll be glad to come out and help set up. Just no painting girly colors.:rofl:

[tac-40]

Man, I can't believe that nobody had posted any trash talk here for the last month, especially me.

I have been practicing and shooting well. Using the .22 to hone up my precision shooting skills, especially standing. Right now I can keep all of the rounds in the black of an SR 1 center at one hundred yards. Of course that is taking my time.

All my FAL's are tuned and running smoothly. Now my only concern is whether or not I can run fast enough to keep up with the youngsters and non-gravitationally challenged shooters.

[hagar]

If I knew for sure I was going to be there, I'd start the trash talking!:angel:

But, it is starting to look better and better, the other guy we are camping down at Stone Mountain with, might be in Dallas that weekend. Which means my wife and her cousin from Alabama can go do whatever the heck they want, and I will do the same...:shades:

[stimpsonjcat]

3-gun tomorrow...likely in the rain...and the training continues.

Trash talk never got me nothing.

I still need to do T-shirts...shall I repeat a logo or do something new?

[L Haney]

Just got the OD Duracoat on the FAL yesterday. Haven't shot anything (even a .22) in weeks. Gotta' get some rounds down range soon, or I'll suck worse than usual. But, I plan on having a great time anyway! The wife can't understand why the match is marked on the calendar. Well, I've got her going fishing with me now, who knows what's next? I just hope I remember where all those little parts go to reassemble the rifle. :tongue:

Lowell

[stimpsonjcat]

The shooting award my wife is proudest of is the team match medallion from the very first FAL match. Such a simple stage...I hope to add it back into the mix when we have multiple ranges to use.

Now understand, she has placed HIGH WOMAN in the South Easts largest Garand match. When I asked her why this puny (by comparison) match garnered her favor she replied "The FAL match is HARD!"

Well put...indeed.

ps - the equivalent of trash-talk for me for the day will have to be this. I placed 1st in heavy-metal (granted, only shooter in this class, but 4th overall factor) and first in iron sights (3rd overall factor) today at the RBGC 3-gun match. It was raining, quite vigorously, for my heavy run. Somewhere in the middle of that I am quite sure my rifle said something like "are you going to pay attention to what you are doing or what?" Ummm...yes. My point being, I hope you are all practicing with your FALs!

Hagar, you must come...else Shlomo will be inconsolable. This cannot be...I will not see him crying into his Negro Modelo.

[shlomo]

I dunno about inconsolable...

...But I was thinking about trying to snooker Hagar into shooting the team event with me, if he'll have me. :biggrin:

I took the FAL up to RB about 10 days ago, and tested zero again. It's still pretty much in the middle, and still about a 4" gun with Port. OTOH, it's more like 2" with a handload.:shades:

OTO,OH-- It ain't the arrow, it's the Indian, and Shooting Bull (me) is getting old and infirm. We shall see if we can still see.

[Deltaten]

Looks like I *may* be in GA that week/end :D Plans are still not finalized; but I would still like to figger on at least showing up to watch.

I will download a form and send off just in case I'm not so intimidated as to actually participate.

I , also, need to break out the rifles and take a few shots in parctice. Haven't done anything since last year's FF ! :eek:

Only thing I didn't see was using two different rifles on the separate stages? I might wanna run "SHorty" on the run'n'gun and L1A1 on the target section??? A possibility, or verbotten?

Real beers (dark ones) must be set at arms length during crying jags. See thru beers are not harmed by tears, or anything else I know of. But anyway, if you've got Modelo at hand, aren't you consoled enough? :beer:

Yes, I will be camping down at Brokeback, uhh I mean Stone Mountain with my wife and her cousin. We booked that trip long before the FAL match was finalized. Me showing up at the match will depend on whether the cousins husband shows up...

Shlomo, I would love to shoot with you, but I cannot make a firm committment as of yet. But you find us an seeing eye dog to lead the way in the meantime!:biggrin:

[Deltaten]

OKey-Dokey Stimpy....
THe L1A1 it is then :D

"Shorty" may come along for the ride, tho ;)

I'll review the CoF again ta see just what and how much gear and ammo ta brung. Don't wanna be totin' tto much all that way; but hate ta come all that way and not have enuff :F

Thanks,

Depending on weather, maybe. We usually attempt it for the Rifleman's Weekend (garand match saturday, springfield and bolt guns sunday) at RBGC, and I think it might be a fun tradition to start for the FAL match.

Let's kick it around and see who's interested.

Just make sure you have a method for carrying at least 5 mags on you for the action section.

[PBR Streetgang]

I'd like to camp, just not alone. If weather looks bad I'll stay home and drive early.

[shlomo]

I live only 15 minutes from RBGC, so when I camp there, it's only for the beer and the campfire B.S.

Coming to the range fresh from home and a good night's sleep is probably better for shooting, but what the hell--it's all about having fun, right?

[moses]

I will be camping at the same hotel as last year! :rolleyes: I'm such an outdoorsman!

Looking forward to seeing everyone again.
I shall be arriving in my private plane Friday evening (thanks Johnny reb!)
And Remember I'm a comin' and hell's comin' with me!
I will be doing my best to repeat! But I don't think anyone has been able to achieve two in a row yet!

Hey stimpy how about a "Got FN" shirt this time?

[stimpsonjcat]

Like with the FN logo on it or what?

Will I be prosecuted like AK_guy?

[moses]

Yeah the FN logo would be cool! I won't tell if you don't!
If not, just the letters FN would be cool!

AK guy didn'yt get in trouble did he?

I thought that was the tommyfalfiger guy?

Let's kick it around and see who's interested.

I am trying to get Jill to go for camping for the JCG match this year Shlomo...still working on it!

I think you are right Moses, I think that was the falfinger issue. Alright, I'll do a design up and see how I like it.

Camping in the elbow of the river by MP1 is very chick friendly, what with real flush toilets and sinks 100yards from the campsite.

Only downside, other than rain, is when somebody touches off his 7Mag from the benchrests at dawn. REVEILLE, you sonsabitches!

I have had no luck with getting my wife to camp. And especially not at the gun club. She isn't anti-gun, just hates the smell of burnt powder, Hoppes, and linseed oil. Don't ask me what I was thinking...

[stimpsonjcat]

LOL!

Jill actually LIKES the smell of Hoppes/CLP/etc. Heck when I started getting everything running in the new shop she came out one day and went "<Sniff!> Heyyyy...new smells!"

Yep, shooter/camper/etc...she's a real trooper...I hope Jess is like her mommy!

If someone is shooting on MP1...you're LATE!!!

You're a lucky man, Stimp. I forgot to mention that if there's anything mine hates worse than bore cleaner, it's sulfurized cutting oil. Oy vey.

[tac-40]

I'll be "roughing it" at the same hotel across the parking lot from Ruby Tuesdays. I figure it is better to be a short crawl from the Friday night festivities than try to drive. Especially after last year when Hagar and Frank had me sampling one of everything on the back shelf of the bar!!!! Lucky for me I'm half deaf. That banging in my head the next morning wasn't so loud.

[tac-40]

How about 7 o'clock at the Ruby Tuesdays on Friday evening? Does this sound okay or do we need to make it earlier or later for everybody?

I'll be in town early and plan on helping Stimpy with the range setup that afternoon. Rmember to wear a FAL related piec of clothing so you can be proper identified and hooted at during your arrival.:rofl:

Stimpy, how we coming on entries? Not enough "I'll be there" posts to get a feel for how many are planning on shooting.

[stimpsonjcat]

I have 13 envelopes and will be cashing checks etc soon.

This plus the locals ought to end around 30 shooters, which is what we usually get.

You know where I will be that day Tac...anytime you can get there would be helpful.

I need to stop by and see how bad the props are, they were getting pretty nasty last year and I am sure have suffered since. Ideally we will not have the wind to deal with this year, it would be nice to have the props just sit there instead of going mobile like they usually do.

[shlomo]

Yeah, I never pre-register. Between iffy weather and a screwy schedule, I never know for sure. So, I just crash the party late.

Stimp, I may be available this time to help set up. Gimme a heads-up if needed.

[tac-40]

I'll come straight out to the range and lend a hand. Just make sure you are using a manly paint color this year.:biggrin:

Anything I might need to bring to help out either Friday or the day of the match?

Damn, time is drawing near. Better get out and practice some more.:p :p

Most work at the top of the hill, by poofter town. This is about 500m around the bend from MP2, where the FAL match will be held.

[stimpsonjcat]

Cingular is spotty on MP2 where we will be.

Text and email will go out/in as you move about MP2, which I seem to do with some frequency.

Dadgummit Moses, quit sittin the fence. Make a decision. Obligate yourself. Let us know what you really think.

Gotta talk some smack a month before the match.

[stimpsonjcat]

Abracadabra!

[hagar]

I feel like the world biggest ass, as in donkey. All this time I though we were camping at Stone Mountain the same weekend, but it is the weekend before! Yee-haa, I'm coming to the shoot! That is if you still have room...:uhoh:

Anybody looking for a ride/room mate from the SC area?

[L Haney]

Map directions say the match is 64 miles from my house. Approx 1:30 drive time. Now get this, I'm still on call. Doesn't meet criteria for being "away". Gotta' drag a cell phone(which I despise) with me. Ain't that a kick in the pants?

[Deltaten]

I looked all over the RBGC site and didn't see anything about camping facilities.
Prolly lookinh for a place ta bed down Fri nite pre-match and Sat nite post, depending on the extent of post-match festivities :D

PBR... ya still planning on roughing it there??
Anyone else doing it?

Guess I'll plan for all contingencies and wing it from there :D

Oh! forgot.. will there be someplace to sight-in prior to the match? I'd hate to come all that way to findout too late that something's amiss during the match??

There's a nice place next to the river, about 200 yards from the range we'll be shooting on. Flat, grassy ground, shaded by trees, and washrooms with flush toilets 75 yards away from the campsite. Has picnic tables, too, IIRC.

I may camp, given a decent weather forecast, if some of the other lads do the same. Seems a bit like work, considering the fact that I live 15 minutes away. Might be some fun to hang out, drink beer, and tell lies, though.

Let's hear from some of ya!

[tac-40]

I'll be campin' in the Best Western near the Ruby Tuesdays. Can't beat a king sized bed and a hot shower in the morning.

I don't believe that there will be a place or time for sight in's. But, Bruce will be along shortly with the definitive answer.

[stimpsonjcat]

Place to camp is across the road from MP1 (there are signs) there is a bridge over the creek there and if you go across the bridge there is a building with bathrooms and showers.

I will not be camping as I have guests coming in and lots of other things to deal with.

Sighting in: There will NOT be a provision for this on the range we are shooting on...I tried to allow for this the first year and it got stupid. About the only way for a non-member to do this is to find a member to be your 'sponsor' and watch you sight in...meaning you need to be there with a member to use any of the ranges other than the one the match is on. Find a member and beg them. If you get there on Friday and I am still there we can probably work something out.

But to be clear, no, the day of the match there are no provisions for sighting in...come ready.

[Deltaten]

Roger that.. thanks

[JohnnyReb]

Life is getting in the way of fun and I'm not going to be able to make it this year. :(

Moses, check your PM's.

Stimpsonjcat, please use my entry fee for the keg fund. :beer:

[tac-40]

2 weeks and counting. Final preps under way. Ran into a snag though. What will I bring for lunch on the range. Decisions, decisions, decisions.

[L Haney]

Any idea how many are coming at this point? I'm stoked about the match. Not about how well I'll shoot, but about meeting the guys from here on the board, swappin' stories, and spending a little time with folks like me. I'm really looking forward to this. Don't really get out in the world much, ya know? (work outside, by myself most of the time) I am hoping to make some pictures, so if you don't want you mug recorded, let me know. I'll respect any wishes to the contrary.

Lowell

[stimpsonjcat]

J-reb, that is terrible news! I am sorry you will not be here.


Tac, I like Donuts.


Haney, no idea of actual count as there are so many unpredictable locals to deal with. I know of at least 6 or 8 guys that I do not have paperwork from who are definately coming. I am picturing about 30-35 shooters at this time.

[shlomo]

Yeah, Stimpy, you got me and one other guy you don't know about fer sure. Shooting rain or shine, camping if shine.

Went out yeserday to shoot a mag and see if zero was still good. It was not. :redface: Damn, I hate shooting a match after a sight adjustment based on only one trial. I guess I'm gonna have to sneak back up and check it again.

Color me cheesed.

[moses]

It's been six weeks since I shot a rifle! Actually I did test fire a couple but that doesn't count. Damn I have been way too busy!
Looks like I am driving this year, no first class air coach from JR.
I must find time to practice or at least check my short range zero, or I might embarrass my SC and NC boys!

Looking forward to it!

[shlomo]

Moses,

Just a heads-up for ya. The Club Rules Committee recently passed a reg that says all non-members have to wear blindfolds in addition to ear protection. Be sure to get your Zen zero before leaving home.:biggrin:

[hagar]

I zeroed mine last year, no need to do it again! It is not an M1A... :rolleyes:
Actually I came down on the front post 2 clicks, and that worked fine for the drop 8 matches. Have to remember to come up 2 again. Still looking for a passenger from the Columbia area, I will drive.

[stimpsonjcat]

I need to know who plans to attend the after-match festivities?

The BBQ was a big hit last year, so we will be having it again, but I need to know how many of you I need to feed.

Thanks!

You first timers ask around...it's a pretty good party.

[shlomo]

I believe I'll make it. Too much fun last year to miss it this time around. Plus, I gotta see the SB 13 and the mill.:biggrin:

[tac-40]

I'll definitely be at the post-match festivities.

Stimpy, do you like sprinkles? I'll try to have a big bag of donuts at the match.

You all gotta bring your own coffe though, the only kind I know how to make is good old US Navy joe. Of course that could be to my advantage. Get everybody tweaking on caffiene might cause my scores to be near the top.

Of course, it won't affect Moses. He main lines Mt Dew.

[Deltaten]

I would suppose Sunday depends on post-match festivities on Saturday ;)
I took that Monday off for travel , if needs be; so, depending on time, place and quanitites of consumables ...???

Wouldn't do to leave the ball early!
Paul

[stimpsonjcat]

We talk bad about anyone who misses the party.

New keg went in the fridge tonight...I'll try to be nice to it.

Plenty of bourbon and single malts.

Keg is Miller lite.

If you fancy something else you might want to bring some.

Tac, there is no such thing as a bad donut to a diabetic.

You do need a plan as to where to spend the night...I can't bunk everyone here. I think we have a local taxi here in Dawsonville, but reliability and availability may be spotty. Find/designate a DD and let's all be good little boys.

[Buzzstrike]

Is there still room for any last second show ups?

[stimpsonjcat]

Yes, we have room.

[shlomo]

Stimpy,

Mr. Bill wants to know if he can come and shoot it with his M-14, "out of competition".

[stimpsonjcat]

Shlomo,

I think this would set a precedent I'd rather not get into just yet. In the future, when we have more action shooting ranges I may decide to open up additional classes as we will be considerably more efficient than we are now.

For now, I prefer to limit it to FALs and their direct relatives.

Bill doesn't have a FAL? For shame!

[Jon Frum]

I can not make it this year but would like a T shirt-let me know if you have an extra in white or color XL. Shipping etc, Thanks.

[stimpsonjcat]

Jon, all extra shirts are Military Green for short sleeves and black for long sleeves, send me an email after the match to remind me to see what's left.

[Brass Rat]

Stopped by MP2 this morning and zero'd out rifle in at 100 yards. It was still set up for the 600 yard shoot last fall.

Checked out all of our mags also. Would have taken 180 rounds to put 20 through each one so we loaded them all with 20 and fired the first 5, took 10 rounds out, then fired the last 5.

Still not sure how we are going to carry mags, I am leaning toward using the Sportsmandguide.com chest rig but Bob just wants to cary them in BDU pockets.

Tried our luck at offhand FAL shooting this morning, Saturday ought to be interesting.

[shlomo]

Originally posted by stimpsonjcat

He's hardcore, and considers anything Belgian to be "French Lite". He told me recently that, "Frog rifles are only good for laying down.":uhoh: :rofl:

[Brass Rat]

It's probably a bit late to be asking this but I realized on the way home from work this evening that I am not sure if Bob and I can share a rifle on the "boot camp" portion of the match. Is there more than 1 relay?

[stimpsonjcat]

Yes, there is more than one relay for the boot camp section, just make sure one of you is on relay 1. If it gets 'full' just remind me you are sharing gear and I will move someone off the line.

I did finally manage to get a few minutes practice for standing/sitting/prone...it went fairly well.


Shlomo

'French lite' indeed...tell him the FAL and I trounce M14's and SOCOMs at the 3-gun on a regular basis. I shall await his presence there.

[tac-40]

Just a reminder for those attendees. There will be a pre-match BS/Bragging session on Friday at the Ruby Tuesday's in Dawsonville just off Ga 400. Bring your significant others if they are willing to put up with the rest of us riff-raff. Just wear something FAL related so we can pick you out and wave you over to our table.:beer: :beer: :whiskey: :whiskey:

Checked zero of the para and it is dead on. Went so well that this is what I am gonna shoot on Saturday.

Stimpy, what is the weather forecast. Trying to decide if shorts or pants are on the menu. I figure if I wear shorts the competition will be blinded by the bright flash of white. Only welding goggles will prevent eye damage:rofl:
I'll take any edge over the other shooters I can get. Remember, psychological warfare is still warfare.

[stimpsonjcat]

Weather looks fine right now, but hot!

Guys, bring water.

And sunscreen.

And lunch.

And ammo.

[shlomo]

Be careful whatcha wish for. In the distant past, Bill trounced most of the field with an SKS--but that was back in the "Action Rifle" days, and not 3-gun.

Both you and Mr. Bill are examples of the bromide, "It ain't the arrow, it't the Indian".

Some day, when I can figure out a way not to crash and burn on the shotgun segment, I may reappear at 3-gun myself. But right now, I'm embarking on a fling with the Garand over the Highpower Course. The other day, when I ran into you at the club, I had just come off the 600yd line, with a 196-5x. With an M1. (!!!) (I mean, !!!)

I ain't shot a mid-190s score at 600 since the Presbyterians gave me presbyopia back about 2003. So hope springs eternal. :biggrin: If it turns out not to be a fluke, you ain't gonna see me at 3-gun until after Nationals.

[stimpsonjcat]

I was just responding to his clear belittling of my favorite rifle. I won't stand for it sirrah! :wink:

I wish I had time for highpower, my scores at the riflemans weekend continue to drop each year...lack of practice no doubt.

196-5X on the 600yd line is hard-holding indeed...well done!

[shlomo]

I'd tell ya some of the other stuff he's called it, but he may drop by and look in on us Saturday, and I don't want him to get gang-stomped by the multitude.

[stimpsonjcat]

I didn't picture him being that way...tell him to quit sippin on the haterade man!

They're all firearms...it's all good!

[PBR Streetgang]

Probably two more for the after party.

Hey Guys...

Expect to head over to Dawson Co around noon or a little later

I *think* I have Stimpy's number here somewhere; but in case someone wants to gimma a ring and lemme know what time for Ruby's??

Long as you're WATCHIN' ballet, and not being in one, you're aces with me. You can shoot all your life, but the kids only grow up once.

I got a sneak preview of the course this afternoon, and I am beside myself with trepidation. Let me just say that it will not be kind to the elderly, the overweight, and the infirm. Stimpy oughta call it "Stents and splints".

You will be missing a good one. If I survive the afternoon, I wll post an after action.

[hachik]

After action report on our first ballet recital:

You don't have to worry about me ballet dancing, that would not be a pretty sight. I'll leave that up to the big one in the picture, she did a great job.

The little one sat quietly with the help of the now empty bag of cookies.

A good time was had by all.

Wish I could have been both places. Stimpy does set up a tough course, as well as run a great match and throw a helluva party.

[Brass Rat]

Couldn't make the party, which is probably getting a bit wild by now, but it was a hell of a match.

Had way more fun than I expected.

It was great to meet so many Filers.

I couldn't get Bob up to leave by 0600 so I left him at home and I had a blast. All I heard when I got home was "I wish I got up, I was bored all day". First day of summer break and he is already bored.

Today was enough to convince me that I need to get a scattergun and try a bit of 3 gun shooting.

Thanks, BR, you saved my slow fingers from typing all that. I haven't had that much fun wearing clothes and sober in a long time! Do want to say thanks to Stimpy and his gang of cohorts for all the hard work setting up the range, pacing the shooters, and scoring the targets. You guys are the best. And Stimpy, damn if I can understand how you had the stamina to pace that many shooters, cover that much ground, and take the win. My hat's off to you! Well done, Sir. :bow:

Lowell

[stimpsonjcat]

Progress report...

Buzz is proceeding nicely.

My daughter likes Hagars dog.

Shlomo, Rooster, Moses, Fabricator are still going strong.

FNfreak hopefully didn't totally monster truck my yard! ;)

3-gun will be the 6th I think at RBGC.

Oooops...beer's empty...

[Azrial]

I am sooo jealous! I had to work! :(

[JohnnyReb]

Ok,

Drink a little hair of the dog and post some scores! :whiskey: :beer:

And pictures, we need pictures!

[Deltaten]

Looks like this is the thread for follow-ups; so, from a borrowed computer somewhere (still) in GA..

I would like to express my thanks to Stimpy et al for a great match! The course was perfect, 'cept for that last part ;) and was run..literally...with class and style.

RBGC was/is a beautiful facility and it was a pleasure to shoot with such a great crowd.

I look forward to pix and will post mine..if any come out right.
I plan on hitting the interstate in about an hour so to be home early Mon a.m.

Thanks again,
Paul

[hagar]

I had a great time as well. Stimpy did a fantastic job, especially since he did not disqualify me for those 3 tracers that somehow snuck in at the bottom of one mag! :D

Thanks to everybody else for bringing goodies and stuff, it was most appreciated. Also, thanks to Stimpy and his wife for their hospitality, I enjoyed visiting there.

I left Columbia at 4 in the morning, had a busy day at the shoot, went to Stimpy's party, and left at 8:45. Made it back by 1am. I'm kinda pooped today...:eek:

[stimpsonjcat]

We should have scores up this afternoon.

I didn't take any pics...but I saw lots of cameras!

[stimpsonjcat]

Scores!

Final overall scores! (http://home.alltel.net/jbperry/4dl/Final%202008%20FAL%20Results.pdf)

Action section scores! (http://home.alltel.net/jbperry/4dl/2008%20FAL%20Action%20Section%20Results.pdf)

Target section scores! (http://home.alltel.net/jbperry/4dl/2008%20FAL%20Target%20Section%20Results.pdf)

Now post some pics!!!

[FNfreak]

Stimpy, I only had to use 4x4 LOW to crawl out of that HOLE ya'll parked me in:devil: I think the two trees in my way getting out will grow back in a few years!!!!!!!

It was an awesome day and as ALWAYS, the match was well run, well organized and attended by a SUPER group of guys..(well, most of ya anyway!) Deltaten drove down to GA from PA...WOW....Talk about HARD CORE.

It's always fun to really TEST the FAL platform under stressful conditions and see which breaks first..MAN or MACHINE...this Saturday it was a lot machines...the men held up really well considering! Speaking of which, STIMPY how's the thumb??!! Even with 1/2 a forearm and a extra crispy left thumb, the Stimpster won the match. Moses over came a Three Stooges comedy routine to bring home a trophy..now which way DID that BUCKLE go!! One of our sponsors actually won 3rd with lowest round count of ANY Match ever! 26...26....26...maybe we should have let him leave that earplug up his nose afterall.

I hope other board members will take the opportunity to get out and SHOOT their FAL rifles and enjoy these truely awesome weapons. Notice the smoking forearms and barrels in the pictures below, the SWEAT, constant MOTION the shooters are in, but most of ALL, look at the smiles and satisfied GRINS on EVERYONES face!!

[hagar]

You should have asked me to pull that diesel truck out of there with my little Jetta diesel!:biggrin:

I was pleasantly surprised at how few malfunctions we had with the FAL's yesterday. My AZEX built one ran like a champ, not a single problem. But holy moly, I'm glad I didn't have those metal STG handguards, my DSA plastic ones were hot to the touch, and I actually burned my thumb on my bipod. :uhoh:

Oh, and the 2 guys shooting next to me, and on my target, in the target event, send me your Paypal addresses for that donation I promised you.:biggrin: I had 45 holes in my target! Although I'm sure you guys shot the 5 misses... ;)

[stimpsonjcat]

Great pics States!!!

Where are the rest guys?

I'd also like to post a special thanks to my brother Conor, Rob (fabricator), stew, and Tac-40 for their efforts in helping set up, run, and tear down this match. Also I cannot understate both the effort and support of my wife Jill, without whom I would not have the organizational skills to pull this off.

It takes a lot of effort to organize, design, build, run, and tear down this match...and I cannot take most of the credit.

It helps greatly that FAL lovers seem to be very giving and helpful folks. At the after match party this year I got to tell the long strange story of my love affair with the FAL. That was a long time ago I walked into a gun show and paid $600 for a Century rifle that didn't even work. Then I found this place and the rest...as they say...is history.

I very much enjoyed shooting and hanging out with you guys again this year.

[hagar]

I didn't take much.

Stimpy,

My thanks to you, Jill and the crew for putting the match on again, this year. It's a heavy task, and my hat's off to ya for making it happen. :bow:

Also thanks again for opening your home to the rabble afterwards. :beer:

One of these days, we've gotta figure out how to gather a group from the southeast, and invade Raton, NM. I'd like to see if we can outshoot the Thugs, Bugs, Rats, and Cats.

[hagar]

Maybe we can convince JohnnyReb to fly us all there in a DC3, and we can jump out with parachutes and do an airborne assault on the shooting range!:D

That will give them something to talk about.:wink:

google says it would take 22 hours to drive there. I calculate about $750 worth of gas to get my truck there and back. Could take 4 of us though, so <$200 each plus housing and food/drink.

Hmmmm...

Glad you guys had a good time, and congrats Bruce the Younger!!!


BTW - what is the story on this pic, as it is giving me flashbacks..

[FNfreak]

Well...........you see......it's really a thorn in my side right now........

I went to the line with my Izzy Std. barrel with an EOtech and the EOtech would only come on at 1/2 brightness...so I dumped the sight and switched to standard (Open sight class). Had not shot that rifle w/o EOtech in several years so didn't expect to be able to hit a damn thing. So my expectations were LOW.

Timer went off, I dropped down and fired at the first plate..dropped it, dropped the second and realized the gun was good to go and cleared the plates in short order, ran to the next station and swept the plates in short order and Stimpy was behind me cheering me on as at that time I was having one of (if not the best run of the day), got to the shoot house and 1/2 way through, the hammer wouldn't reset...after 30 seconds of screwing with every possible trigger/safety position, Bruce and I realized the rifle had PUKED...FSE first generation hammer broke clean in half...It had 800 to 1000 rounds total on it. :mad:

The MAN was in rare form...the MACHINE went KAPOOT....maybe next year.

[stimpsonjcat]

Freak, you just need to remember the zen next year and you will be fine.

"States, you've turned off your targeting computer...what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm alright."

I have tried various versions of glass...they all get in my way.

I will speak to Jill of this possible pilgrimmage.

Heck, we could do that any friday night over the internet. We'd have to hire a referee to keep an eye on Fr. Vince, though--can't trust that sucker fer nothin'.

[Bruce Allen]

I feel your pain FNfreak..

I had a relatively new DSA 2 piece firing pin break on me in 2004, right after the first Bullseye target (standing position). I was on fire and had a great target and score going.. whine.. whine..

[ftierson]

Sounds like you guys had a great time...

It doesn't get better than that...

:)

Forrest

[moses]

Yep it was another very fun match!
Nothing like pushing man, machine and mag belts to the limit! :uhoh:

The after party also was very entertaining as always!

Really a great bunch of guys we have at these matches!:bow:

Already lookin forward to next year.

I bet our Cat can skin their Cat with rifle, pistol, or shotgun. Is there such thing as a Hogan's Alley Cat?. We better get our flip-flop zeros nailed down before going, though.

One more thing-- we need to pack the vehicles intelligently as far as personnel goes. If we put too many of the 6'5", 250 to 300# monsters like me, Azrial, and a couple of the SC boys in one truck, we'll wear out the shocks before we get to Birmingham.

Yep, we need to bring safety wire for your belt buckle, my F/H, and Stimpy's handguard nut.

I got motivated last night, and pulled the barrel off my rifle, recut the hammered-looking original crown to a nice flat, concentric crown, and reset the seat shoulder to fit my spankin' new Moses Hurricane F/H. (self-tightening :biggrin: )

I ain't dickin' around anymore. I'm gonna make that rifle shoot, or die tryin'. :devil:

I'm wantin' one a those beauteous King Trophies, bad. That thing's the coolest.:bow:

[PBR Streetgang]

I can't tell you how much fun I had. A million thanks to Stimp and all. Got burned by a friend and couldn't make the party again. Three or four times I've missed it now. Oh well, one of these years I'll get there.

I shot way better than I thought I could. That STG runs like a Formula 1 car even though I almost lost my fingers by using the metal handguards. I'll try to listen to you guys more from now on.

About going west.... We would wipe them out if we can keep our guns running. Anybody have access to a school bus? Maybe we could rent a couple vans or RV's. That would let us pool our expenses. We should probably have one vehicle for smokers.

Absolutely! That was pretty great idea and a nice trophy for the winner.

If my current case is over I would love to go!

BTW, I am down to 248 LBs! :biggrin:

[stimpsonjcat]

I already have a solution dreamed up for the handguards...it'll need the lathe, of course!

Jill says I can R.U.N.N.O.F.T. next year...so we need to think about the fireteam.

Not only is there NO SMOKING in my truck, too much FARTING will get you kicked to the bed.

Do we need a new thread for this?

That chick with the burkha posted it down in DB. It's called "Falfest, the Movie," or somesuch title.

Speakin' of which, where's the video of you shooting the assault course? I know there's gotta be one. You had more paparazzi following you than Angelina Jolie on a no-undies day.

Me, I get no such respect. Which is only right, I guess.

[stimpsonjcat]

I *do* have video of me shooting the action section, and there SHOULD NOT have been that many folks out there.

But I only have it as part of a DVD my brother burned, so I can't save it seperately. I'll ask him for a copy of the mpgs.

[PBR Streetgang]

I am VERY serious about renting or chartering a bus or RV for New Mexico next year.

We will need something with comfortable sets and easy to drive. It should also have plenty of cargo space. Possibly two conversion vans would work as well.

I will start investigating rentals, what I need is a count of how many are seriously interested and who may have access to a large vehicle.

We have a year to plan. Let's show the Thugs how we'll clean their clocks!

Cool. We can get a '39 International Harvester, load it up with weed, acid, Pabst Blue Ribbon and guns, with loudspeakers on top. Then as we drive across country through little towns we can annoy the local squares with psychedelic music and beat poetry.

Dudes, you are all cordially invited to take a shower, wash your clothes, and pee in the yard at the Claudio Exacto Commune, here in Albuquerque.

We have a good size floor, a shed with two couches, and even a porch monkey couch for smokers out front.

Please feel free to crash here if your route takes you along I-40. It is then 4 hours up I-25 to Raton.

We can all go for lunch at the Ashram Free Kitchen, and then hit Whole Foods for samples.

[chromestarhustler]

ce, you know they aint gonna cross the mighty mississippi. Southerners fear leaving the south. When in the south they they are the majority, and talk down on the outsiders and yanks with much distain. when they cross the river, they deflate their egos rather quickly. And tone down the accent, in an attempt to draw less attention to themselves in the presence of real english speakers. See you boys in raton. Bring some Rc cola and moon pies.

[shlomo]

God talks like we do.

Been out your way once. Kinda fun and different. It was neat being able to see a long way, even if ya couldn't see much.

Growing up in the South, Porch Monkey is what colored folks were known for and they didnt eat moon pies and drink RC cola, thats the country fried boy, Porch Monkeys ate barbchew chicken and grape crush...
Get a groove on, you City Boys!!!:rofl:

[chromestarhustler]

i know what a porch monkey is, and i figured you lot were mostly country boys, and i like rc cola and moon pies, rc cola is kinda hard to find here. we got a pepsi , dr pepper and coca cola bottling companies here in town. so rc is kinda rare, moon pies can only be truly enjoyed with an rc cola. now shut up and bring me my boiled peanuts

[shlomo]

Coca-Cola was invented here in Atlanta. Your plant is just a branch.

You may have heard too much Jerry Clower.

We, on the other hand, will prepare culturally for the Southwest Experience by memorizing some R.D Mercer material, and studying tumbleweed/cactus/mesquite/greasewood picture flashcards, so as to not look like complete peckerwoods.;)

[jerrymrc]

It would be great to have as many as possible so as the director of Falfest 2008 I would like to invite everyone out to Falfest 2009.

Since I have met and shot with PBR Streetgang I take all said in jest.:shades:

Now we are going to have the 3 gun shoot and george will think up something that will not be as easy as this year but I am making some down time so I can shoot.

We also have 3 other shoots as you might have read. Practice your target shooting @200 and 600 yards and also practice your shooting a moving target about 11"X18" at 200 yards and you will be fine.

If I get enough people confirmed by about march or so I will plan on running 10 points instead of 5.

I look forward to seeing all of you.:devil:

My schedule permitting, count me in. Of course I'll have to ride in the bus with the overload springs installed.

Stimpy. A big thank you to you and Jill for the great time. and fantastic hospitality. Next year I am bringing a "chicken mitt" for general use. The last three years, one has been needed to prevent serious injury when the "I smell meat cooking" reflex is initiated. I will be prepared next year.

Speaking of next year, I am going to run the optics division. Where else can you win a trophy, a prize, AND go home with more ammo than you started with. :biggrin:
