Match runs twice a month in the evenings on the 3rd Monday and 4th Wednesday but I never see a thread about it here.

Myself and a few other forum lurkers shoot it almost every time, and I'm sure some of you do to we just don't know to look for any CFF members.
 
Just to add for those coming into this thread: The match requires that you pre-register, and you must have a range card for the Wake County Firearms Education and Training Center.
 
I find getting the required email in order to pre register to be somewhat challenging.
 
Scotty is pretty good about the pistol matches. It's the rifle match he often blows off...

They usually have some no-shows. If you show up cash in hand, I'd be very surprised if they turned you away. You just might get stuck on the smallest squad which has the unfortunate consequence of making you the first ones done. (Or having stand around and converse with your squad mates while you wait for the larger squad in front of you.) Tragic, really.

Pretty sure the rule is if you show up you shoot. Can't turn away folks if they have cards per the range. They just don't talk about it...
 
Heading there tonight. Great match, usually run 50 or 60 guys. I come up from Cumberland county, so they don't require me to be a member.

Shooters from outside the county have some different rules at the range. For instance, I can take a guest for regular range hours as long as they aren't from Wake county, iirc.
 
Lol that's just wrong...maybe I should order some more Freedom Munitions just for that match :D
You mean for next months match, right? Cause that's how long it will take to get here. :p
 
Haha I haven't ordered from them in a while...they use to do ok on the shipping.
I buy a ton from them, and it's a week to ship, then at least two more to get here. That said, their price on 9mm is still very good, worth the wait, and their deals on .45acp are the bomb.

Yes, from some nearby counties you need a card and you pay a bit more than Wake residents, but iirc you get most of that back with a coupon card they give you.

I had to get one as a Durham resident.

Yeah, I'm about the only guy that comes from far away enough to have it not apply. Pretty much everyone there has memberships or are first timers.
 
How long is your range card good for? Got one years ago, wonder if it's still good or if I need to go through the orientation again.
 
You need a card if you live in Wake or a county that surrounds Wake. Farther than that, no card needed...

forever...
 
I don't believe the expire. Also correct me if I'm wrong, but on months with five Wednesday's, it's the fifth one..
 
Had a great time last night.

The stages were short and there were only 4, but it was safe and dry!
Came in 10th of 35.
Not satisfied with that- more dryfire!

I got home at 10pm and sacked out.

Great to see everyone!
 
Had fun but shot badly.

By the end of the day of staring at a computer my eyes have left the building.
Coupled with the low light: carry optics geezer division is looking pretty good.

Yea, I was glad to have a Duracell rabbit powdered sight to use in that place!
Definitely not the match to use blacked out iron sights.

Might be time for some spectacles Dave.
They always told you it'd make you go blind. It only took 50 Years!

I tried hard enough that it is miraculous that it lasted this long!
 
You guys see that bad arse open div race Tangfolio?
Guy said he only shoots minor loads in it even though it's got tons of popple holes and it's rated for major.
He said it would not cycle minor loads without swapping out the springs.
That thing was beautiful.
Next match I'm gonna ask him if I can dryfire it.
