Anyone going to the ACCT?

[ThemDukeBoys]

any of you guys going? If so, best route for tickets? Im not trying to pay $400 each from the school...thoughts?

The ACC tourney is now mostly just for people with cash to burn and excess free time. It used to be for us common folk. I'd rather watch from home and spend that 2000 bucks on Duke gear, whiskey and ammo.

Just so as long as the whiskey and the ammo aren't together sir.

My preferred order:
Work, shoot, drink, watch Duke, sleep.

You ever gotten into handholding your own ammo? I've been doing it for about 2 years. Pretty fun hobby and the groups you can create with the right recipe are awesome!

No, I’ve never considered it. It sounds fun. I do like breaking down each setup and clean/lubricate. In all honesty, I don’t shoot that often. I buy a large quantity on cheaper than dirt once every few years.

You better be careful handholding your own ammo as you might blow your fingers off or shoot yourself.
I know you meant hand loading though and I did it for all the years I used to competitively shoot. I still have all the dies and press and related stuff though.
It brought me many hours of relaxation after work.

I don't really do it for the cost savings. I do it more for the accuracy you can achieve and for those times like we had a few years ago when you couldn't buy anything anywhere without being in line waiting for them to open.

I have never shot competitively, but I think I would enjoy it. I used to shoot a lot of competitive archery, but never have tried it with guns. What caliber did you mostly shoot in competition?

been doing it for about 50 years or so. you can get a lot more out of you rifles or pistols than factory ammo. Have never loaded shot shells. When I say get more out of I mean accuracy mostly.

Yep. That's mainly why I got started.

Well shucks, I might try to get a 556 molding setup. Thanks boys, I learned something new today.

Yeah, those obviously come after drinking.

I'll be at ACCT Thurs & Fri. Last year was just awesome!

 

[Laettner]

FYI, ACCT prices crashed on Stubhub($200 per book 1st row upstairs) and GoDuke($400) is selling as well. Amazing how demand has fallen off for this despite league office claiming success in NYC.

WOW wish I could get to NY

 

[Laettner]

During Big East heyday you couldn't find tickets now they are half price and schools can't sell allotments. Great business decision Swoff!

How many in a book Laettner?

 

[j_flo]

We are either a 2 or 3 seed at this point, right? So you can buy tickets for the Thur night session. Tickets are not expensive right now. You just have to get to Barclays. That’s about 1.5hrs on trains/subways for me.

Book has ticket for each session Wed-Sat. 11 games for $225 is a bargain.

Wish ACCT was at MSG. Better bar scene and no subway ride to Barclays just LIRR to Penn(45 mins off peak).

 

[Dukie_4_life]

I am going. Will be my first time ever in NY so pretty excited. We got ours off of stub hub. Not bad I think like $300+ fees for like 3rd row uppers.

Welcome, hope you have a blast! If you have extra time try to hit Big East at MSG. Those ducats are easy to get.
