Whatever you start with, try to find some shooters a little more experienced than you are right now, (this forum is the place to do it), and ask the questions and learn from them, good luck and have fun

Sorry 'bout that, did not mean anything offensive to the rules

If it gets more shooters out, why not, especially juniors. Little tough if a piece of steel activates a drop or swinger, most times a 22 will not drop it. The 22 conversions for standard pistols are gaining popularity for 1911's, Beretta's, Glock's etc. but I think scoring would be an issue. Maybe they just shoot it for fun and practice?

Great video !!!!

Lets all remember to say great job for expert win and high senior to Mr. Morse, at his age he will forget that he won

Great job Mike, Dave S. is getting worried!!!

So who will come out Saturady to see what fun Dean has in store for us next? Could we see a replay of IDPA champ stage 2? Some prone perhaps? Maybe some where the $%@&^#$% is that other target? Only Dean knows for sure

I thought of that just as I posted,, very valid point,, it would make scoring diifcult to say the least,,maybe a good way would be keep the scoring the same, but if you get 2 down 3's with minor you also get the ftn, but with major you only get the down 6 for 3 seconds and no fail, 2 45 gut shots would neutralize most undesireable targets in my opinion, at least 460 grs of lead introduced into the lower digestive system at 720 FPS or faster would at least give you a belly ache !!

Those were my best 2 stages,,,, thanks Dean !!!!

Great point!! Why not keep CDP as 1911 ONLY at major PF, and maybe break ESP into minor and major and shoot what you want?

Could always rty the liquid stuff with hot water, I did that in the past and it seemed to work well for smaller volumes of brass

I was, but it's still a great game to shoot, so, I'll try to be good and keep my mouth shut and shoot by the rules. Here's a first,,, no procedurals, no non-threats, no failure to engage and only 1 hit in the down 3 for the 12 stage NC Champ match this weekend, guess I'll stick with it for awhile longer John IDPA doesn't have a Failure to Engage. My mistake, meant to say fail to neutralize

230 in the 625 revo, round nose loads the fastest

Welcome and best of luck in any shooting you do

I shoot in single stack minus 2, or revo division, my advice, front sight and don't miss, steel must be bang/ding,,bang/ding,,bang/ding,,, not bang bang ding,,, bang bang bang bang #$@^%$*&&^% bang ding,,,,, have fun

My humble opinion would be, the weight of the bullet,the diameter of the bullet and it's velocity should dictate minor/major, not the lenght of the brass. The only folks I see that like the brass, are revo shooters using it in 625's to get a little quicker reloads, but the shorter brass would not be legal for ESR as I understand it.

For those of you that might have missed this match, you missed a great one. The match was put on by Dean and Beverly and they did a GREAT job!!! From stage design to the food, to the great people, even hand wash stations at the port-o john areas, every detail was covered and covered well. I for one, want to thank them both, as well all those who worked stages and scores, for allowing me to be a part of a top level event

11 revo shooters for this match,, how cool is that?

Welcome, great folks here!!!!

Way to go Paul !!!! I'm one of the lucky one's that gets to shoot with Paul locally and he is a true asset to our sport and all those fortunate enough to know him

Just do whatever Mike C. says, the man is tops on revo work and knowledge

I broke 2 before I was told to use snap caps. I don't dry fire at all with the extended pins anymore, just shoot alot

Ouch!!!!

Josh don't you have anything slower and heavier you can shoot so us old guys have a chance? Something without sights perhaps?
