m gardner Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I shot Robbie Leatham's "Intro to Steel" shoot last sunday before church. Did quite well. Came in 5 th overall and 2nd in Singlestack. I had the fastest Singlestack time (2.79 seconds) for the first run and second fastest by .01 second overall (a guy with an open race gun beat me). I'll be doing this more often, these drills are a hoot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m gardner Posted June 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 If you're ever in Phoenix well take you there. I've got plenty of fun toys and ammo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 One of the few states in the union I've not been to yet. If I ever wander down thata way I will surely take you up on your offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 look like fun next year i think i should look into getting a pistol permit; can't do it this year. mark you reload your own ammo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m gardner Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 New York is one of the states where handgun ownership is difficult and NYC is one place we avoid like the plague if we have to make connections to fly to a match. Good luck. You may want to move. There are people who have moved here from all over the world just to shoot. We have the most talent and best facilities of any club in the world from what I gather. Yes, I reload. I shoot 45's for $14.00 a hundred, 9's for $10.80. The thing you strive for is to get good enough to get an ammo sponsor. It's better than having a manufacturer give you a pistol.

dbHunterNY Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 yea it's not the easiest state but i should be alright... if i avoid NYC. $100 out of pocket and 6 months should allow me to pick one up. later on i could probably get a concealed carry permit if i'm active in different shoots/matches and associated stuff.

m gardner Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Melrose was a nice little town. I lived in Saranac Lake and Hoosick Falls, NY, and Bennington, Vt before coming west. Probably things have changed alot since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m gardner Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 There was Luke's and Marker's farms there when I was younger. Just up off the old gravel pits. I'm one of the old outlaws from the area that finally quit drinking and accepted Jesus when I found myself in Colorado broke and nearly crippled. Small world indeed.

dbHunterNY Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) There was Luke's and Marker's farms there when I was younger. Just up off the old gravel pits. I'm one of the old outlaws from the area that finally quit drinking and accepted Jesus when I found myself in Colorado broke and nearly crippled. Small world indeed. good things turned out for the better. yea by Marker's there's now a big all new horse farm/boarding place... lots of money into it. Luke's are my mother's first cousins. The son's are running the farm now. ...but anyway steel matches look like a ton of fun and i will most likely try my hand at them some day.
