AZ LRPRS August Match

[LH_Gina]

Next monthly match for AZ LRPRS will be at Phoenix Rod & Gun Club on August 20th. Rounds go downrange at 0700. Match fees are $10 for members and $15 for non-members. 50 rounds will cover the COF. MD this month is Tim3gun so if you have questions about the COF, please direct them at him. Make sure to bring plenty of water. It's still pretty hot out but we've added some humidity in an attempt to make it more pleasurable.

Steven, We are talking about it. I won't be able to leave until afterwork on Friday night so we are thinking of just driving thru and catching some sleep before the match.

You want to come to?

[oni]

Anyone else want to go?

[Gnzrme]

I am off Friday...Will have to check with the wife....

You're probably thinking of Brad (AZPRC) Peck's match. That's the one up in Prescott. Ours is at the range in Phoenix where we host TPRC every year. Ours are always the 3rd Saturday of the month now. When Brad has a match, it's on the 1st Sunday of the month.

Yup, that would be it... Trying to get a group together to show up...

Is there anyplace to camp overnight anywhere near that range? Or does anybody know of a motel with good deals in that area?

[Gnzrme]

So I have gotten the green light to go... I am looking at flying vs driving as I would have to rent a car anyway since my a/c sucks in my car.. I can get a round trip airfare into Phoenix on Southwest for 126.00.. Rental car with gas would be more, so it looks like I am going to be flying. Never have flown with a rifle/gun before. Obviously cannot bring ammo onto the plane, so that has to be checked too. Is there a limit to the amount of guns I can check. Was thinking of bringing a pistol too. So 1 rifle/1 handgun with ammo for each maybe 100 rounds each. Are there extra fees? Has anyone traveled with guns on Southwest? Randall, what was the hotel that we stayed in for TPRC... it was ok there other than the hot water.... Or Regina, recommendations for cheap/clean places to stay?

[Gnzrme]

Ok, so google is my friend... Got Southwests policy on gun transport. Now I just need a hard container... Anyone have one I can borrow?

If you're anywhere near my place in your travels, I got a Pelican you could use.

[Gnzrme]

thanks Ryan... Will let you know if I plan on using it...

[mattsnuked]

Just and FYI, you will not need a pistol for our match.

[AR15barrels]

I had fun on that pistol stage last year.
I should have taken the bet...

Not sure about hotels near the range. There should be a bunch close to I10 and Baseline though that are in an area that's not too sketchy. Or if you search hotels.com by hotels near Arizona Mills Mall, there are a ton. It's about 8 miles from the range and a pretty straight shot over.

[Gnzrme]

Thanks regina

[Gnzrme]

will the range be open Friday to zero for a non member?

You'll have to get with one of us prior to heading down there. Tim's off that day and said it wouldn't be a problem, but you'd have to be with a member.

[Gnzrme]

Ok, PM me his/your contact information and I will let you know when I get in.... Oh, BTW.. Did you see my msg about "Mike" from Chandler, AZ on facebook..?

You mean Marc? Yes. I did. He shoots with us pretty regularly now. I think I answered that post on there too!

Great showing at today's match! Big thanks to all the SoCal boys who made the drive out. We enjoyed having you on the line this morning. Sorry about the heat. Tim and Scott were nice enough to turn on the fans (aka what little wind we get in Phoenix) for the 2nd relay. Hope to see some of you again!

Winner of the match with about a 63% hit ratio was Matt.
2nd (tie) - Lowe & Steve E.
3rd - Michael
4th - Kurtis
5th - Scott S.
6th - Regina
7th - Marc

Had a great time and a challenging match. Mirage and the Wind really became a factor at the 500yd line during the 2nd relay. I was too busy wiping the sweat from my eyes to notice the wind shifts..... I'll have to keep that in mind because...... I'll be back!

PS~ The trip back with Kurtis and Nathan eating two days of Mexican food....... I would prefer to be water boarded...........

[Gnzrme]

Come to find out that Nathan is lactose intolerant and he ate 1 or 2 slices of the "Mexican Cheese Pizza" and his lunch plate also had cheese on it... I knew that was not going to bode well for you guys.....

[savagE]

Did you guys camp somewhere out there or did you find a cheap sleazy hotel?
