I've thought about it , but he's too lovable to kill , too fast to beat and he brings treats.
He's the man. It's a kinder, gentler buttkicking.

I have a 10/22 and a MkII 5.5" heavy barrel. Could use a few more magazines.
I just have to see what the MkII likes to eat.This is what I started with.
Basic 10/22. I added a Kidd trigger kit and extractor. The cheap truglo red dot I bought as a placeholder until I decided on something else but it worked great and never broke. Still works! Gun never held me back if I am being honest. Don't have to spend much to do well and/or have fun.
First couple matches I shot open sights with a Mark 3 5" pistol.

My 10/22 does pretty good with CCI mini mags. It doesn't like the SV. Bought it new in 1983 IIRC.

I miss the caswell matches.Used to go to the matches at Caswell many moons ago and am starting to really miss them. Getting off the sidelines and will start attending these starting next month after reading thru this thread again for like the 20th time
I have to say, the falling steel made my day. And what you can't tell from the picture is the three round plates at the far right are behind each other from the firing line. Hitting moving targets on the Texas star was a fun challenge too. You guys did a great job on the setup for the match.So last match we had falling steel. This is something new for our event.
There were 15 total pieces of steel. The shooters started by loading up the rifle and pistol with 10 rounds each for a total of 20. That gave them an extra 5 rounds to get the job done.
At the sound of the timer “beep” the shooter would shoot the first gun until it was empty. Then they would lay it down on the table and pick up the other gun to finish the stage. The Texas Star made it really fun. Here is what the stage looked like.

The ram and the bobcat were fixed plates. We don’t have quite enough of the falling steel to do the whole stage but we will work on that.
Everyone I spoke to really liked it so we are hoping to incorporate this type of stage every once in a while.
I miss the caswell matches.
It was a simpler time then.
Dean don't really shoot at all anymore.
He just recently helped my neighbor finish a chopper project. He's got lots of talents I guess.
What squad is everybody in? I'll be there in squad two.
Would be cool to get all of the cff'ers in one squad so we can all meet.
I understand that there are some reasons why they may not want that to happen though. Don't wanna gum up the works for anybody.
Makes me wanna join the competition just to get in on the sammiches!
Did you know this is the same people who own Postal Fish Company?!The match signup is…well it’s up.

We must be doing something right because it is filling up really fast. Even though we increased the number of slots I think we are gonna be full again.
Match may run until 2pm or so. That’s longer than some would prefer but when we made it shorter last month, lots of people that drove a long way complained. They wanted to shoot more and I can’t say I blame them.
Prize match is the second Saturday in August. We are working hard on the prize table to have some nice things and hopefully the new shooters and those needing equipment will have the luck of the draw.
In completely unrelated news…there is a po boy sandwich shop opening in Pittsboro. Which could be a great place to meet after the match and talk about falling steel and why it is so dang fun. This technically has nothing to do with Rimfire I’m just really excited about it.
