I'm in Maricopa County. Are you in the town of Maricopa? My brother use to live out there. There are a few good spots for long distance shooting out there.

Thanks AZ,

Although the other web site( azshooter ) may have more local people to shoot with. They aren't HK people.

Several members here are also members on arizonashooting. Also, I have yet to go to a shoot without a healthy turnout of HK firearms. I wouldn't say "We aren't HK people", I'd say "We aren't only HK people".

You live in Arizona and don't know where Ben Avery is?

The very thought......;-)

We have two HK guys besides me that shoot ACTS matches down here in Tucson.

How about usery pass, know where that is?





Ben and Usery are great. I normally go to usery as its closer since I live in Chandler.

That was my thought as well. Ben Avery is one of the nations greatest ranges. I took these pics from a balloon last year. Even the full pick does not quite cover the entire range.

Ben Avery is 5 minutes from my house. While I've been to a couple other AZ ranges, BA is pretty much the only range I go to these days. It just doesn't make sense to drive farther to get lesser of a range.

Heading to Rio Salado next week......

Would one of them be using a HK93 with a suppressor on it? I shot a 3-gun match at PPC last year and someone let me try it. Unfortunately, I don't remember his name.

I've finally gotten around to getting the QD adapter for my HKs in 5.56mm, so it might be fun to try the ACTS match with a suppressed '93, or even my SL8/G36 clone.

 

[HKfreak]

Would one of them be using a HK93 with a suppressor on it?

Unfortunately no. We have had a few that have talked about bringing their suppressors out for ACTS but I haven't seen one yet. Now, we have had a few full autos run the course.

You Phoenix area guys should come on down for a match sometime. We have a match on Oct 13 and would like to see some more HK guys. The other HK guys only bring them once in a great while. Maybe it's because they shoot G3's and that 7.62 is getting pretty pricey!

 

[MP5_guy]

I've been planning on coming down for one of the matches, but there always seems to be something that conflicts with it.

I'd actually like to run my G36 clone, but I have to get the replacement stock installed on it to reduce LOP to somthing I can use. Also, don't the equipment rules for ACTS matches frown on multiple optics (I have the G36 dual optic on my rifle)?

My only real objection to using a '93 would be the trigger, since the stock one in mine is especially bad. Though I could swap out the Williams set trigger from my '91.... :43:

As long as it is the factory dual optic setup it is ACTS legal. Man, I would love to see that baby at the match!

My V93's trigger sucks big time but I manage to hold my own. I reeeeeally need to send my pack off to Bill Springfield for some work. I'm sure my scores would improve.
