Hey All, For this Month Only (September), we will be shooting on the FORTH Saturday (September 23rd) instead of our normal 3rd Saturday - Beau Legg will be putting this one on. The Third Saturday just had too many things going on -- For those of you going to the NM State SASS Shoot in Magdelena, I wish you the best of luck and Have Fun! For those of you who are not going to the state shoot, don't forget the LASC Gunshow, Saturday and Sunday at the old Pueblo School off Diamond Drive. "Buncle Steve" Chipera Fine Print stuff Basic Rules: all bullets are only lead & under 1000 fps for pistol, 1400 for rifle. This is because gas checks & jackets can ricochet off the steel targets, and faster bullets damage the targets. Regular lead slugs just splat harmlessly. The cowboy loads are round nose flat points, but semi-wadcutters usually work fine too. You don't want to put anything pointed (including round nose) in a lever gun tube magazine! For shotgun, any 7 1/2 or 8 target loads are ideal. There is no advantage to heavier loads or bigger shot, and again target damage & ricochet would become problems. No steel shot!!!! You do need eye and ear protection even to watch in case there is some splatter & it's a club rule anyway. Come ready to shoot, we're pretty easygoing & will help you get started safely.
