Not sure where else to put this question, But those who have shot this match before how many mags/pouches should one have for this type of format. I notice a 10 rnd limit, so I am thinking at least 6, any ideas?
IMO six is plenty. Five on the belt and one in the gun

Watched it at the Movie Tavern last night. It was very good and if you liked the first you will like this one too. I didn't think it was quite as good as the first one but well worth seeing

Also, thanks to squad 24!!
It was a fine squad - Covered every class from C to M, loaded up with folks from the enosverse, and lots of opportunities to learn for those of us with more potential for achievement than actual achievement. Says a lot when there's more people moving forward to paste that there are targets - on every stage
Thanks for the pointers!
24 was a fine squad and I had a great time shooting with all of you! Thanks for making my first Single Stack Gnats so enjoyable

Already making plans to be there
-
Personally, I'm waiting to see the shooter who shows up with an open gun and a revolver
-
I'l be there not sure about the 2 divisons since I only have a single stack. But I will not miss the chance to shoot either way.
You can always shoot Liminted-10, it will still be fun.
A.T.
Come join us for both relays. I'll be running my 45 1911 in both SS and Lim10
-
Might have to come and shoot. I have a Dr's appointment at the VA on Monday so why not come up a day early and split the trip up.

Sounds like a good plan Chris
Rumor has it we are going to do 2 relays for those who want to stay. Long gun this month is shotgun which requires a minumum of 9 rounds birdshot.
Weather is gonna be nice

Wow! That went well
The match, weather, friends, it all came together. I had a blast shooting and working the match. Aw heck even tear down was fun with these guys It was great seeing old friends and meeting some new ones. It's always good to run into enos people at a match. Those shirts were great.
Hope I see everyone back next year. That is if we can talk Corey into doing this again

oops, forgot the pic

Hello everyone! Thought I might take a minute to post some potentially useful information for those of you who have not had a chance to visit our fine facility.
As you know we are located at 2500 Handy's Bend Rd. Handy's Bend will be on your left just a minute or two past the last stop sign in Wilmore. Handy's Bend dead ends at our front gate and becomes the club road. Although the entrance is clearly marked please do not enter through the exit on the left. It has sharkteeth and will destroy your tires. Once you are on the club grounds for about a 1/4th mile you will see signs marking the way to the shooting pits. You will also notice our main clubhouse on the hill as you come in. It will be open and has restrooms. There are also restrooms located in the bath house building just above Shooting Pit#1 as well as portapotties in each of the pits. Our main road as your going towards the shooting pits is a circle and comes back around near the main clubhouse.
Speed limit is 25mph
There are "Safe areas" located in each pit.
There is ample parking at the pits in the grass.
The Bull's Eye Range(Chrono stage) is located just past pits 1 & 2. All three areas are within walking distance of each other.
If you get lost or need assistance on the club grounds just look for one of the club range officers(guys in the funny orange hats). You may also call my cell phone at (Tom Tryon) 859-621-8118.
I hope everyone has a great time this weekend. I'm looking forward to seeing all of you! Please feel free to drive around our club and check it out. We have 1500 acres. About half of that is forest. We also have about 6 miles of river access and we are a working cattle farm.
This picture isn't great but will give you some idea of the club layout.
See you in the pits

OK Revision on The Squad List
Good work Clyde!

Yup, should be a good match. Weather.com has us sitting pretty good if it holds up! The competition is definitely there. The food is definitely there. The good people will be there. What more can we ask for?
A babysitter?
I knew we forgot something...DayCare

Hey, I'm hearing rumors about pulled pork bbq on Saturday

Nice shooting Corey !!
Still can't believe I missed this one

Speaking for some of us who are still left covered in your dust...Congratulations Shaun !!!

Alright guys and gals still no official match hotel as of this time and there may not be one. However here are some links to a couple of hotels in Nicholasville, Ky. Probably right at 20 minutes from the range. There really isn't much else closer.

Thanx for the reminder A.T. Time to find some slugs!
I've been reminding your for 2 months!!! I have a few extra but you had better know how they work in your gun :-)
I picked up some Remington Sluggers. They work in my gun just fine but I like those low recoil Winchester's better :-)
Yeah not much snow to speak of here.

This match was so much fun last year! If you have the oppurtunity go!

I have been using an Ice Mawell with ETM's for the past several months. I did replace the basepads though with standard 47D basepads. They are just a slight bit longer but still fit IDPA/USPSA boxes. I haven't had any problems so far. I've been shooting 2 or 3 matches a month with this set up on my STI Sentinel 1911.
-
This is the first I have heard of this. It does seem a bit odd though.
My 642 does not spark. It probably wouldn't bother me if it did. It seems quite functional
-
I'm in!
See you all there

I got 2 bucks that says nobody will show up wearing a Kilt!
I just checked L.A. Gear. No Tactical Kilt...yet
The match, weather, friends, it all came together. I had a blast shooting and working the match. Aw heck even tear down was fun with these guys

.45ACP in a 1911 is all I've been shooting for the past year or so. I use 200grain lead semi wad cutters from Missouri Bullets. I like the great big holes they punch out
I'm pushing them out with 4.3 grains of Hogdon Clay's through a 5" barrel. They work great and usually chrono between 172 and 175 PF.
Hope this helps.
