right on... If I rememeber right, your grouped up in sqauds. Looking to join up with someone, hopefully someone I've shot with before

If someone would have me I would be willing to join up. Maybe we could be team "Hold up this stinking thing is jammed, no wait I got it, no wait its jammed I need a cleaning rod." Instead of just watching this time get to shoot.

Lately they've been running 4 man teams. RG and I usually team up with whomever (though I can't speak for him 100%, not sure what he has going yet). Your welcome to join us or if RG can't make it (bet he can!) then we can team up.

The Patrol Shoot is my favorite........but I like the LRTR shoot to..............and the IDPA shoots............hmmmm.

Well, have to admit. He is a bit more distinguished looking than I am.

He does however, catch the essence of how I've felt a few time after the patrol shoot (during?).

Still, the patrol shoot is my favorite! I recommend everyone give it a try.

any word on shotgun or not?

hawkiye · « **Reply #17 on:** February 17, 2009, 09:48:33 AM »

Sounds like fun, I might have to come and check it out and at least observe/help out etc.

luvmy45 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 17, 2009, 10:44:57 PM »

If you don't bring a gun, or at least some ammo with you, you will be the most depressed person on the face of the earth leaving the range.

Watching a patrol shoot and not shooting it, is like being a roller coaster junkie, and standing at the loading bay of the world's largest coaster and saying... I'll just watch.

There's always room for one more. Heck if we have too, we'll even make a special squad from those of us that have already shot to let you shoot.

Ok sounds good so what all does one need for a patrol shoot?

luvmy45 · « **Reply #20 on:** February 18, 2009, 08:05:35 AM »

Generally you will need:

1. Safety is ALWAYS paramount.

2. Some sort of battle rifle (ar15, AK, something with a standard capacity of 20 to 30 rounds)
3. Some way to carry AND retain your spare ammo and mags (some of use tac vest, other use belt clips, and simple shotgun hull bag for your waist will work to retain your mags. KISS principal here.
4. Sometimes there are long range and shotgun stages within the shoot. You won't know until a couple weeks before the shoot. But if you don't have them, just get some ammo and find a friend at the range.

5. Good attitude and willingness to be yelled at by the peanut gallery and RO (Sometimes they yell not so nice things

, well most of the time they yell not so nice things.)

200 rounds of rifle ammo
100 rounds of pistol ammo

This is a great place to try out your weapon's sighting system, sling system, how your gun works after ingesting 100 to 150 rounds in 10 minutes, how your reloads hold up, how your tac vest is laid out, how your pistol holster works or doesn't work. (Note, a retention holster of some sort is a good idea for the patrol shoot, as rolling around in the dirt is common practice

), how's your reloading skills, hows your heart? You know after you pound 500 yards or so running can you still shoot? How's your ability to listen and communicate to your partners as everyone is yelling and screaming at you and you are shooting? When your gun jams... not if... how long till you recognize it and can fix the problem.

Fun stuff that you just can't get when you go pinking at the range on your own.

If your a shooter, and your into the tactical aspect of things (as most of us here are) you will probably have a blast at the patrol shoot. If anyone is worried about how they will perform, don't. With the exception of safety, every thing is usually pretty laid back. No one is going to throw a temper tantrum if your on their team and your gun jams or you don't hit 100% of your targets. Fast paced but fun.

How much does it cost? (Besides the gas to Get there)

Nomad · « **Reply #23 on:** February 18, 2009, 08:36:20 PM »

20.00 dalllars for the shoot.
Bring extra ammo may shoot twice if a team is short a shooter........
Rifles are sks, M1 Grands, and any thing that hold a mag of 5 or more rounds
others loads mags as you shoot have done this in the past........
Most everyone tries to help you out...........Lots of fun........
