In Idaho - "You bet" can be yes or OK. In Utah = "Oh my heck" replaces a lot of swear words. Ranger6 "If it's on the internet, it's got to be true. They can't put anything on the internet if it isn't true." A. Lincoln

An Irishman spies a magic lamp inside a bar. After he rubs it the genie promises three wishes. The Irishman says to make the swill he's drinking into the finest ale in all of Ireland and when the mug is put down it fills itself back to the brim. The Irishman continues to drink, brag how good it tastes, and watches each time as the drink is refilled whenever he puts it down. This goes on for some time. The genie grows impatient and reminds the Irishman that he still has two more wishes; the drinker continues on and on. Finally the genie insists that the Irishman choose his final two wishes. The Irishman finally drains the mug, watches it refill itself as he sets it down and proclaims, "OK, Give me two more of these!" "It has to be true if it's on the internet. They can't put anything on the internet if it isn't true." A. Lincoln

Obviously the jetliner and all passengers were scooped up by the alien space craft that has been hiding behind the comet that was hovering over Thailand for the last few months.

What! They now have shotguns with "box magazines"? The next thing you know, they'll have magazines for the pistols and rifles too! Can not believe that things are getting so far out of hand.

Definitely NOT Idaho. Guess I could move - right now it takes me more than 4 minutes to get to our range. Went out on New Year's Day only to run into about 40-50 shooters having a "Korean War Era" match. Shooters around here own just about any type of firearm (full auto, .50 caliber, 100 round mags, etc.) (There's even a gunsmith that will make a vintage Gatling Gun for you if you want one.) Seems like they are holding a match every weekend! (At least members can go out to the range anytime they want.) As far as dentistry is concerned; there may not be very much call for that based upon the number of people here with only 3-4 visible teeth. Aside for all the hunting going on, you probably be better off not shooting in Idaho. Ranger6 "If it's on the internet, it's got to be true. They can't put anything on the internet that isn't true."

Visited one of the "big" chain stores recently. Salesman was showing off a 300 .Blackout AR-15 to a customer and stated that it fired "300 Win - Mag ammo". Being amazed by this I could not help myself and stated, "I don't think so. There's some 300 Win - Mag ammo right over there. Check it out. It's not made for that gun." The clerk quickly told me that "No one was allowed to open any of the ammo packages!" My response was, "Just look at the box, you can see that it will never fit. 300 Blackout is a completely different round." With complete confidence, the clerk replied, "No the Blackout is the color of the rifle." I didn't know whether laugh or scream. Good sense kicked in and I just walked away. (The store did look nice however.) Ranger6 "It's got to be true if its on the internet. They can put anything on the internet that isn't true." A. Lincoln

Our club has run a "Steel Challenge" type match for the last three years. Initially it included all eight stages, however, allowing the members to change things around has been very popular. Currently we fire six stages (two of which are true Steel Challenge) with four stages that are designed by club members. The Steel Challenge stages are rotated so that over a four month period the entire course is fired. The member stages are usually altered to include a variety of challenges similar to a USPSA stage. Some of the member stages are "rifle" which can be longer distances. The rimfire division it has been very attractive to junior shooters and on occasion an entire Boy Scout squad has joined the match. Overall the matches have enjoyed a lot of support with just about every division (rimfire, USPSA, IDPA, Revolver, & Cowboy) being represented.

No question about it; the price of coffee has been going up since the first of this year. Root cause of this phenomenon is - - - - - - - OBAMACARE !

Rocky Mountain 3 Gun: 1 round in gun; four - 12 round magazines; and two (extra) on belt. Total = 51 Nothing left after last shot on SG stage. Ranger6 "Dude, it's got to be true. They can't put anything on the internet if it isn't true!" A. Lincoln

Stage 6 1. Target setup was unchanged from Limited Nationals match. 2. Stage briefing stated: "Swinging target remains visible at rest." 3. Swinger worked so well that it was reset after each shooter and after activation demonstration before it stopped. (It would easily continue to operate for nearly 2.5 minutes. 4. At rest the A zones on the target could not be seen. 5. Unfortunately no one noticed the problem until a shooter protested their two misses on the target on the 2nd day of the Open/L-10 match.

Went to our local IDPA match: 3 Stages (11 rounds total for the match). I asked if it was alright if I shot some of the stages "twice". Reply: OK I "doubled" my round count by shooting the COF and then reshooting it again. Got a couple of FTDR looks, but had a great time. (IDPA folks are great - shooting is shooting.)

Yep, I remember when it rained here in back in 1985, Had to wait a full 1/2 hour for it to stop. Dreadful! Never forget that day. Ranger6 "If it's on the internet, it's got to be true. They can't put anything on the internet if it isn't true." A. Lincoln

The Rocky Mountain 3 Gun! Hands down. This year: Barrett MRAD .338 Lapua Rifle @ 1500+ yards and AK-74 (5.45 x 39) in full auto (Thanks to Barrett and Machine Gun Tours) JP Enterprises is the MAIN sponsor. (Thanks John Paul - unbelievable support!) Held at the NRA Whittington Center. Next year = WOW! In its day, only the Fort Benning 3 Gun came close. (I drove from Idaho to Georgia to go to that one every year.) Ranger6

My uncle was Ernest Roberts who parachuted behind Normandy the evening prior to D-day. During that chaotic combat period he was reported "missing - presumed lost" while defending his unit against a large German force. It was not until April 1945 that they discovered that he had been wounded and taken prisoner. I was born that month and named after him. My aunt gave me some of his military items shortly before she died. Included was his jump wings with star (indicating a combat jump) and the Distinguished Service Cross medal.

Knee pads: ACL operation at West Point (Football). Wore knee pad in combat (Yes, 2 tours - Vietnam) Gunfight: 2nd tour (score US 2 - enemy 0) Rules in a gunfight: SURVIVE! Shoot 1st, often, & accurately. Knee pads in IDPA: Probably does not provide an advantage; helps you get back up however. (It's a game; targets don't try to kill you.)
