Yall want bullets forward or backwards?
I can make some kydex ones with a tek lok on the back if there is a market.
Obviously, both.
Call them "right handed shooter" and "left handed shooter". Me personally, bullets forward on my left side.Saw someone at a match that had a double pouch for .308 mag's. Not sure what kind it was.
There are "tactical" double pouches out there, but they tend to be Molle attach and I do not have the right belt.

This looks like a match that should not be missed!
HAs this match filled up fast in the past? How many shooters do you usually allow?
Fills up, but not fast. Expect 250+ shooters. Including RO's, about 400 this year.
-
The road to the range is all paved. The range is not and if the wind is anything like yesterday (25-35) everything will be dusty. It is also supposed to be 100 Saturday and Sunday so plan accordingly.
Just 100? Wind just 25-35? Bunch of wimps.

Any of ya'll staying at the Edmond Holiday Inn and have room for an extra passenger from hotel to the range? My wife and kids are coming with on this trip and are planning on doing sightseeing during the day so I'd like to save getting the monsters in the car that early in the AM.
Shot you a PM...

Did I miss the schedule somewhere? Kindof like to know what time to show up.
-
Targets !? with distance !!! ? I forgot to ask
What choke should I put in for a match in sunny weather?Just for you - skeet choke. The rest of us use cylinder bore.
No slings - good to know but not many "big" matches require a sling and usually they get in the way.
-
I got a card at the match. Chris Klein (chris@bresser.com) was in the tent, although I have not contacted him. Looks like they do not have dealers for all the products, for instance, rifle scopes.
-
WW2 division looks fun. Of course, I have enough trouble on the 500 yd targets with a scoped AR. Pretty sure an M1 would not make that easier. Hmmm - better get out the one with the "good" barrel and make sure it runs ok. Would have to get more 8 round single stack mags.
I offered to donate some barb wire for the last one, got lots in the barn, all rusty and ready to go, but the offer was declined.
I'm ready now!
Well, I can use some recovery time from the setup experience. Still looking forward to the match.

There is an NRA promo video made at LaRue with Rick shooting a LaRue rifle. If you listen to the video...he shot a bunch of rounds and only hit the steel once.
Hey Bro....We -Both- shoot a bunch of rounds and only hit the steel once , sometimes 
I do NOT miss steel - steel jumps out of the way!

For those coming out, gonna be hot, please remember to hydrate.
An update from Sheldon:
Hey Shooters,I've gotten quite a few emails concerning the raffle. We were unable to
secure another means of payment. I checked with another service and we are
waiting for validation which takes a few days. My account with paypal is
not frozen and should you choose to risk sending funds *DISCREETLY* we
shouldn't have a problem. * DISCREETLY means no mention of raffle or
firearm.* ... As for the match, we've got two lined up, a USPSA pistol
and a 3 gun match. 4 stages each with approximate round counts of 120 for
the pistol match, and 75 rifle, 60 pistol and 40 birdshot for the 3 gun.
Setup help is greatly needed and starts at 730am Saturday morning. Thank
you again for all your support, look forward to shooting with you.
Please remember our sponsor, LaRue Tactical for their generous
contributions. http://www.laruetactical.com
Late for snail mail, email Sheldon for other options.

Yes, talked to Sheldon, feel free to post to other forums, but please also post the link to the TMG page where the raffle details are.

Is the sight height 1.5"? I am thinking it is higher than that, more like 2.5-3.0". The Hornady calculator defaults to 1.5 but can be changed.
If the bullets are boat tail, then a BC of .4 is probably close, but a flat base bullet will be more like 0.34, so you may want to pull one, to be sure.

Not quite so much can go wrong with bullets, and some of us do not want to pay a premium for hoser bullets that will be blasted into the ground at roughly 0-25 yards. That said, the Nosler bullets do hit a nice price point, and those are cheaper at Powder Valley.
-
Stages are under the "Layout" button, but are in Powerpoint so you need at least a viewer.
-
Wideners is cheaper for 2K M80 145gr, new, not pulled, $266 shipped. I guess 2k is what fits in the USPS flat rate box.

Range Rider 3 Gun Challenge. I am not involved, but it might be fun. Apparently open to the public (i.e., "civilians"). One division: Iron sights, no optics allowed. However, it is a weekday (Friday), so I am not sure who the audience is.

For ammo suggestions, the barrel (with twist rate) and chamber is all we need. Along with XM193, PMC Bronze is usually good, and in the same price range. If I go steel case, I pick Silver Bear, but it is getting pricey enough that the XM193 or PMC is good. Note that vendors are warning of price increases, and we may have hit a bottom on ammo (and component) prices for a while, and a couple vendors I use have about sold out of XM193, so move soon.
-
So the price table was walked based on points?
Top 10% per division went first, then the rest were merged by points into one list.
To change the subject - I heard that a shooter fell off the bridge and did not DQ? No 180, gun did not hit the ground, etc, so correct call, but ... is there video?

Lee,
Thanks for the hard work. Would it be possible for you to put up the combined standings that were used for the prize table?
Thanks
I have nothing to do with putting them up, I just noticed they were there.
The combined standings (for the prize table after the top in each division) were made by just merging stage point totals of those who were not the top in division. There was a list generated, I will see if it can be posted. -
-
We should have results posted tomorrow. Thank you everyone for all the kind words. Next year will better, I promise. World War II in the Pacific Theater is the planned theme. Already have stage ideas.
We know who wants a WWII division; is he going to get it?
-
Don't worry. You will be able to sign in before the match starts that morning. Hammer down at 0730 after the shooters meeting. So get there early.
Jason
The official word:
645a registration however it is strongly encouraged to be at Thursdays registration.If you register Friday morning, please know what stage you are going to and be ready to shoot pretty quick. Like, have magazines loaded, shotgun trays loaded, whatever, for your first stage. Some of us do that anyway, but we have new shooters at the match.
Call them "right handed shooter" and "left handed shooter". Me personally, bullets forward on my left side.
What choke should I put in for a match in sunny weather?
Sciatica
in Injured Reserve List
Posted
I have sciatica but looks like it is caused by a muscle wrapped around the nerves. So I am missing a few matches while the physical therapy kicks in. I thought the sciatica symptoms and hip/back pain were unrelated. Nope, but it took X-ray and MRI and some PT to confirm.
Meloxicam works the same and is $5/30 day supply at my local pharmacy.
