Do you remember the two day course and you had to sit an exam and a practical on the final day.

You essentially do that again. It is to show that you have learnt over past few months how to shoot safely..

Welcome to the club so to speak! :)

There are a few members from St Mary's, myself, Brett1968, Pokemax, arasaka, itsme and there are others whom I have forgotten their usernames!

Arasaka just graduated so he may have more insights..


Excellent. shouldn't be a problem then. Although I overheard one of the RO's saying about 50% fail.

If you be safe you will be fine.

In my graduation course of 8 people 2 failed. However they both deserved to fail as they were totally unsafe..

12th of this month is Graduation
SAFE is all they are interested in dont sweep yourself dont shoot anyone . Every time you pick up a pistol WHEN told check its safe first and formost. ask questions if you not sure they dont expect you to know everything, but they need to know you know how to find out .

Never a wiser word written!

The two who failed my course, one would sweep his hand in front of the barrel after releasing the slide.. the other she waved the firearm around..

Once youve graduated, come and do rimfire silhouette it is fun! :)

Well just read through the thread it took me twelve months to do the IPSC proficiency course.

I have no idea why I waited so long, the guys running the course were awesome and it was a lot of fun.

Great discussion around the rules and interpretations etc. 3 days later I am still smiling!

Your 22 didn't beat the "Clone" :lol: You beat me fair and square...no ifs or buts.

Gonna take both of these Monday night...."The tear jerkers"....460XVR makes others cry whereas the BFR makes me cry with its brutality. Would it be too tacticool hipster of me to wear a gel cushioned glove? :D

I can report that the glove helped a lot....now to see if I can get one with silver sequins :)

I shot 5/5 on the first target using a rest, to make it a bit more challenging I was only scoring the head shots. That was a bit too easy so I alternated from using the rest to shooting standing. Boy was giving me grief about getting home to do his homework so I rattled off the remaining 25 rounds in quick fashion for a total of 25/40 which is way off my PB of 38/40. Had some fun, boy got his 2nd Novice attendance ticked off and I got one for my high cal :)
I also tested the new ADI APS450 powder in the CZ....ill post pics of the groups tomorrow night.

Last night was rimfire silhouette and it was a lot of fun.

I shot my highest score 24/40 and i believe i won the night. Although some say i was bending the rules. Lol

Good night with Brett1868, arasaka and Simone. Was fun shooting Bretts 686 revolvers and CZ. Means no cleaning for me :)

The whole competition is just fun, its one of the more relaxed shoots where the fun police havent ruined it. So much payout, joke telling and hilarity! Cant wait for next months shoot!

Had a ball last night, managed a respectable 20/40 for equal 2nd place with Simone and teased arasaka a bit for being anti social. The best fun was after the comp, we moved over to range B and let the young lady loose with a 4" 686, 6" 686, CZ SP01, Volquartsen 22, Volquartsen upgraded Ruger 22. Wylie did a good job of introducing the young lady to the joys of shooting something a little bigger then a 22 and I'm sure she's out shopping for her next pistol this morning. Last night was good fun, shared a few laughs and what a great way to finish off hump day.
I got evicted from the range @ 10pm, apparently the staff have homes to go to.... :lol:

On a slightly different topic...
The lady who runs the pistol club office, who also shoots with us told me that she had received 2 calls from people asking why there was a very small child being allowed to shoot pistols last week and how could this be allowed. Even the range staff have been questioned more then once about the same child being allowed to shoot rifles. Surely the dumbasses must realise that he's been verified by both the police and range staff before being allowed on the range. I wonder what these asshats would say if they knew he was licensed to shoot high caliber pistols and is entered in this years FCSA Australian 50BMG titles :lol:
He hasn't developed small man syndrome yet but he's getting pissed about constantly having to prove to people how old he is. I told him that he should just tell people he's 8 but because he's so smart he skipped 4 grades :) Might have to scan his birth certificate and get it printed on a T-Shirt just to shut them up.

Here's the small child they are questioning the age of...
