Looks for Match

Looks for Match (2/11)

  1. Thanks, I had the same problem with new mags and TTI extended base pads.
  2. All new mags seem to benefit from being fully loaded and sitting for a week to month to become reliable.
  3. See you there, Doc. Bring a buck to bet on the match. I spent the last buck I won from you on a prophylactic to take along on my next visit to my uncle's sheep farm.
  4. A motel will be more like 50 bucks, nice and clean, too. Acorn Motel 517-655-6793 Williamston Inn 517-655-3773 Both are three miles from the range. The Willamston Inn is across the road from the match restaurant, Spag's Bar and Grill. The match fee is $100, extended. Gas will be half what you quoted if you take either Honda. It's cheaper than that hooker that Eilliot Spitzer hired and we are going to have more fun than he did, at least after he got caught.
  5. They paid me $500 to stay home! I will still make money even after I buy the T-shirt.
  6. I bid $450 on that T-shirt!
  7. I was surprised to discover that after attending this class I still have to take what amounts to the CRO correspondence course, which I already had sitting on my desk. Now I am no closer to becoming a CRO than I was before the class, except I am out the $100 I spent on gas getting there. My CRO friends who had previously taken this course said it was completed after two days. They told me to attend the class in person in lieu of the correspondence course, this was much more fun and more expedient. Now I have to follow up with mailing two stages accompanied with five documents each. One document seems to go by two different names and I get more confused every time I look at my notes. I wish that I had known about the class procedure changes before the class. We were all instructed to bring a stage to class but we never even got them out. The Power Point on the screen did not match my notebook and I am confused exactly how I am supposed to follow up and become a CRO. There were a lot of rushed instructions given as to the procedure given in the last 20 minutues of class and I could not keep up with my note taking. I do not have complete written instructions as to the next steps. This appears to be a transition time for this class, half old procedure, half new procedure and somewhat half assed to boot. Sorry for the rant, I am tired, Bart.
  8. I agree, an extended slide stop was originated for NRA bullseye one handed shooting and is not combat shooting appropriate. Bullseye shooters like to drop the slide stop with their strong hand. Combat shooters like to drop the slide stop with the thumb of the weak hand as a follow up motion to slamming home a fresh mag.
  9. My Mom died tonight, after two heart attacks in two weeks. R.I.P. She was 81, yesterday, and lived just long enough to see my daughter one last time. Mom saved my life from drowning when I was only five, I will never forget that day and I regret that I never was able to return the favor. I did everything that I could but nothing I could do would keep her here after today. I thank my family and friends for their sympathy. This was the worst week of my life, my Mom and my favorite friend passsing in the same week. But this will serve to make all our lives better. The words of my friend, Jack, are not those of a professional writer, but he has sent me words in private that are those of a very wise and eloquent person. No one ever said life would be easy, everything worth anything is a hell of a lot of work.
  10. I knew Jeff Berger for 30 years. We worked together at Elderly Instruments, a music store in Lansing, Michigan during the 1970's. Jeff was attending Michigan State University earning an engineering degree. Jeff was always one of my favorite friends. It was a real treat to be with him both on and off the range. His death was a shock to family and friends alike, very unexpected. Jeff leaves behind a lovely wife and two fine sons in their 20's. Jeff excelled in his every endeavor. He played guitar much better than I shoot. He became an accomplished shooter in his few short years competing in IDPA. He loved his wife, loved his kids, loved his Smiths, loved his guitars, loved his home and surrounding land that was restored to prime wildlife habitat. He had all the business he could handle with his own consulting business. The unfairness of Jeff's untilmely death is very hard to bear, he was only 53. This is all so hard to handle; first Bilby, then Bever and now Berger gone from the ranges in Michigan forever. I had looked forward to shooting with Jeff every summer Saturday until we were too old to see the sights. Brothers in arms, always. R.I.P.
