Happy New Year!

Sorry I didn't get a chance to post for Christmas... Merry Christmas, belated.

Hope you all have a safe and happy New Year's Eve.

MISS is shooting on the 7th...

Second Amendment Rally - Match on 1/21/2010 Cancelled.

We've decided to cancel the match on 1/21/2010 and ask that all our members attend this rally.

McHenry County Second Amendment & Right to Carry Town Hall Meeting

Where?
International Union of Operating Engineers
28874 W State Route 120
Lakemoor, IL 60051

When?
Thursday, January 21, 2010
7PM - 9PM

Today citizens in 48 sates exercise their right to not just keep arms, but to near them as well. Properly trained and licensed citizens exercise their right to carry a concealed weapon to protect themselves and members of their families from violent crime.

Attend this important meeting where candidates and officials will hear our views and see our determination to exercise the same rights as citizens in those other 48 states - Voice your support for a right to carry bill in 2010!

Please be respectful and dress appropriately (what would you wear to church or a job interview?)

Holiday Match!

Come on out and test your skill against two nefarious holiday villans:
The Grinch and Black Bart!

Stink, Stank, Stunk
You awake to a clatter and rise to see what is the matter...
You find The Grinch (swinger) trying to steal Christmas with his rein-dog, "Max", surrounded by the children of Whoville.

6 Shots, Comstock. (10 Second bonus for shooting the Grinch's two-sizes-too-small heart)

You'll Shoot Your Eye Out

You're Ralphie from "A Christmas Story" and find that Black Bart (swinger) and his gang is trying to steal Christmas and the Hannukka Menorah!

19 Rounds, Comstock. (1 No Shoot)

I don't have diagrams yet, but will try to get one posted soon...

No Classifier this week - just letting off some steam before the holiday rush...

2010 Single Stack Nationals Applications!

A few of the jam-O-matic fan boys, err 1911 shooters, are trying to get a squad together for the 2010 Single Stack Nationals at P.A.S.A. Park in Barry, IL. The slots fill up pretty fast, as the event is limited to the first 360 shooters.

If you're a MISS member and are interested, email me (look on the righthand side) and I'll put you in touch with the 1911 crowd.

They're "aiming" (heh heh) to get the apps collected this coming Thursday at our match.

Have a great weekend!

Scores from 12/3/2009

The match was cursed?

Bob O. reloads on the move, the gremlins in Dan G's jam-o-matic 1911 do their work and one dork shoots an extra shot, extra hit...

Anyway, it was good post Thanksgiving fun. USPSA has division results...

BELTS!

One of our newer members, Dan G, had a slick inner/outer belt combo that I asked about. Turns out he made it himself and can make other Cordura gear, like messenger bags, if you're interested.

Contact him at http://www.dannygunzpaintball.com

The inner belts have a high density polyethylene stiffener and a mesh covered foam liner so they breath better and offer some padding for long wearing comfort. The outer belts also have a high density polyethylene stiffener. The outside is covered in 1000D cordura to make them very abrasion resistant. On the inner and outer belts the hook and loop goes all the way to the edges of the belt for maximum grip and stability.

The inner belts can either have OD hook or black hook. The outer belt can be just about any color you want. On hand I have solid colors in black, khaki, blaze orange, and OD. I also have some camo fabrics in woodland, multicam, CADPAT, ACU and MARPAT. I also have some green, tan, and black snake skin lying around. If someone wants a different color I can get a hold of just about any type of camo or solid color. I just need the exact waist measurement of where the belt will sit.

The inner belts are $30 and the outer belts are $40. Any belts over 48" add $10.

Last of the 2009 Dates.

We'll be shooting 12/3 and 12/17. (Calendar is updated...)

On 12/3 we'll be running a 8 paper, 8 steel 24 shots Comstock course that'll have some no shoots and the classifier 03-09 "On the Move".

Sorry I don't have a diagram of our first stage...

Zombies to the Rescue!

I think that this is the first time Zombies have ever actually caused an event to be better. (Well I guess they cause movies to be great, but I digress...)

From the beginning:

Tom P., who had just gotten his CRO paperwork finished (CONGRATS!), apparently decided that our little Level 1 club was no longer worth his trouble and ditched us... Trouble is he's our man with the targets!

JUST KIDDING!


His truck broke down and he was left stranded. As were we. No targets meant no classifier and a mad scramble through our messy locker to find something for the restless club members with itchy trigger fingers to shoot...

We cleared out the locker, finding nothing by steel, but at the last minute found our tube of Zombie targets from last year!

Hmmm... They've got upper A/B zones and COM A-zone on 'em...
Hmmm... They've got an outline a bit bigger than a C...

So we found some cardboard backers, ran through the stage we wanted, then setup and did a convincing practice run of CM 99-33!

In two weeks, we'll run CM 99-33 for real and also run a tough 30-round movement course.

We ARE shooting next week!

Next week is the first Thursday of November. We'll be shooting again.

Already have one table-start stage with some freestyle and some weak-hand shooting.

Will run another classifier - most likely CM99-33 "Raw Deal"

Scary Halloween Match...

Fun stages to shoot, but boy was it tough getting everything reset and run...

Anyway, results are posted at USPSA and the overall (without divisions) are posted below:

Season Starting October 1st!

We're going to be kicking off with our traditional homage to Jeff Cooper by shooting "El Presidente."

After that we've got a fun 14-round pure USPSA-style stage, "Head Games":

From left to right: T1, P1, T2, P2, T3. Each paper is engaged with 4, four, shots.

T1 and T3 must be engaged once from inside the box with (at least) two shots.

T1, P1 and T2 must be engaged with (at least) two shots from "outside" the box to the left (one foot only).

T2, P2 and T3 must be engaged with (at least) two shots from outside the box to the right.

There is a mandatory reload anywhere in the sequence.

See ya next season!

Steel shoot was a blast tonight... Followed by free pizza and beer.

Missed our friend TommyGun due to a bad brake line, but we had ~17 folks.

Anyway, check back here in October of 2009 for our next season shoots!

End of Season Steel Shoot and BANQUET!!

Last match of the season followed by our GALA BANQUET!!! Match will be a man-on-man steel shoot. Heads up: no power factor, no "box" the gun has to fit inside, just knock the plates down.

Double elimination and a practice/qualifier run so you'll get a minimum of 3 runs at the steel.

Come out and shoot and then celebrate!!!

April Fool's Match.

We ran our April Fool's Match (really, on the 2nd) and it was a lot of fun and challenging:



You picked a card from a bucket. The card was marked either "Z" or "P". If you pulled "Z", you had to shoots the Penguins and shots on Zombies would be considered no-shoots. Ditto, in reverse if you pulled "P".


The Christmas glob on the nose of "Ralph", the bat, just pulled 10 seconds off your raw time. The swinger was activated at the beginning of the stage - you had to pull it with your strong hand.

Oh, and the poppers all had staggered, hidden penguins and zombies on 'em too... If you shot through, you were scored accordingly!

After that we shot steel plates for time with a mandatory reload...

We're shooting three stages on April 16th - a classifier and two additional stages.
