Your EMT was perfectly done and your are Good to GO!


Folks while I’m here yakking about this match/practice/ clinic a week and a half away.... this is a good time to take an older prescription bottle/pill bottle and fill it with the Allen keys that fit YOUR rifle optics/base/ring screws. Remember how I mention to you that one should always tighten every ring screw BEFORE you begin you sighting in process ?

Even if you are confident in your rig and it’s optics setup, always ensure all is tightened BEFORE commencing your zeroing process (whatever range/bore sighting) will commence. Nothing worse than the annoyance of achieving a wandering zero after you shot 20 rounds or so downrange to discover said wandering zero or Point of Impact (POI) is caused by a SINGLE loose ring screw. I’ve seen this happen lots and lots as a Match Director conducting a stage or course of fire!

Last practice in April I found a client / shooter who could not zero at 100m on Bravo Range....thankfully he bought some detachable Tactical Rings. He took off his rings (all the ring screws were tight) and discovered that the base was loosening. He then tightened the base screws and slapped on that Tactical Ring’ed scope and his zero was close to original zero. He got lucky!! :eek:


It’s better to find this all happening BEFORE the Sunday contest! Saves you a shztload of frustration. I don’t enjoy seeing my clients struggle and get frustrated.....especially when it’s NOT me that’s giving the Mind Fzcking Treatment! Hahahahaha

:evil:

So you newbies, learn from me and other folks as they make mistakes and I relay the lessons on to YOU!! :)

Cheers,

Barney

Barney,
Am I being THAT GUY if I ask you to pencil me in for the June weekend now. Too early to commit for June. I will try and hobble around this Saturday at Pet, no knee bending yet. Depending on recovery, I may have to get that blue and white sticker and get a lift up and down the range in June. (I splashed off the snowmobile end of Feb, surgery to re-attach the Quad tendon was in March).
Thanks

YES, just the single Saturday walk back/ practice is fine! Merely $30 if you EMT... or pay me in the parking lot on Saturday AM.

I’m hoping for rain on the weekend... it’s a perfect opportunity to test out all your equipment and procedures!

Haha hah a ha ha

Cheers, Barney.

Just tighten everything down at home with red Loctite until you hear crunching/cracking.
 
I’m in the garage at home getting the PR range gear all checked over before packing in the truck this afternoon for the road trip to Garrison Petawawa tomorrow.

I need to chat with you all about packing or assembling your “Oh Shzt Kit”.....

My “Oh Shzt Kit” consists of an AR15 cleaning kit /pouch with the steel sectional rods (assemble together) that comes in handy when you have a “too long seated” booolit stuck in your chamber / grooves/ lands...Or you may have a bore partial /complete obstruction that may need to be knocked out. Who knows

* Hex keys, Allen keys, Torx bits
* Multi tool with blades, pliers, tweezers
* ruptured case extractor (google is your friend).... but this may be excessive for you, but not for a MD like me

Any tool you think that can / may/ will save your tail feathers ON the firing line.

Many clients have approached me already to thank me for this training. I’m grateful so it’s time to pay it forward and keep spreading the truth. Have tools nearby to bail your butt/friends’ butts/ MD’s butt out!!

Some of you new shooters, just gather these suggested tools and keep them in a plastic zip-loc or a plastic clamshell or a plastic sealed tub in your shooting rucksack. You will thank me many years from now!

Oh yeah, don’t forget the bug dope for this weekend. Lots of it!!

Cheers,
Barney

Anyone going at Kelseys on Friday night?

We will leave Ottawa area around 3:30 so we can show up around 6:00 or 7:00.
 
CL:

You guys do Kelsey’s. Keep everyone updated of your RV timing here.

I will be at Quesada Burrito down the street for 1830 since I have to monitor my girlie figure. Will be good to see you guys again

Truck is packed. Time to clean up and prepare to hit the road!!

Cheers, Barney

Home safely but have to repack my bag for the trip to Pukaskwa National Park up on the North Shore of Lake Superior....

Results are on/in post #3 of this thread. Go and have a look. Gotta do a hasty post and bed down.

Cheers
Barney
 
Thank you Barney and match helpers to get this going!

By the way my wife just loved my new banana protector,
I'd show a picture but she is already gone to work with it!
 
I’m Home now from camping up north in Pukaskwa National Park. For some reason I wore a bug jacket but still got bit all over the darn place from the multitudes of mosquitoes....

I’m hoping that everyone has seen the results on post #3 on the first page of this thread.

Thanks go to my Butts Officers who make target presentation darn good and preventing a potential shzt show of a match

Thanks go to our ever reliable sentry Heather. Nothing ain’t happening if she ain’t there to help us...

Big thanks to PatR who provided some steel targets for us to play with between lanes 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 on the target mantlett. People sure had fun, especially the newer shooters. Many , many smiles all around!!


Thanks go to our newest sponsor Grey Fox Stratetic for their prize donation to our reverse draw! The T Shirts will be getting lots of exposure!!

Thanks to the ever helpful GP Gun Club ChalkRiver2 because he makes it all happen with his support of my efforts to make matches happen. We do great things, brother !! After all, we are PPCLI regimental brothers!

Thanks to Range Control for seamless Range Pass procession !
Thanks to Base Operations who facilitate all the Garrison Petawawa GC activity! Appreciate all the support!

So much thanks have to go to the shooters who opened themselves up to great learning chances all days of the weekend. You folks make my job easier! :wave:

Looking forward to more matches with all of you!

Cheers and regards.... hopefully we will see you guys in future matches

Barney. :wave:
