Dan wasn't feeling totally hot. Called him Sunday morning on my way to the range. I was surprised with the results (had to leave before finishing the match).

Nik - I have to disagree. If a RO comes in to contact with me, forcing me to break 180, how is that the shooter's fault (and in your answer resulting in a DQ)? On the discharge, there are too many factors involved there without a specific case (i.e. was the shooter actively engaging and then fired inadvertantly due to contact).

ETA: 8.6.4 covers this that the competitor "may" be subject to 10.3, however, I would like to think that we can agree that if the competitor is doing his or her thing and through contact by another, that shouldn't have been there, it forces them to break 180, that we'd see it's not his fault and therefore not a DQ.

Z - That's TMC's holster.

And when did only Open shooters use race holsters?

Jack,
My Mec 9000G is super sweet and cheap. The auto indexing is nice and it's pretty brainless in operation. You can later upgrade to fully automatic.

I'm quite certain the natives won't be restless. A lot of places don't want CHL's in there as there is a little bit of alcohol in Vegas. That said, I'd say the match hotel would be the ideal place to stay. The Orleans is nice, the price is great and you're not far from the main part of the strip.

My 2008 Chevrolet says not to change oil until 5,000 miles. The quality of the oils being produced these days are suppose to support that. In my PowerStroke I only changed the oil every 6,000 miles using Rotella. My Dad is trying to drive the tires off of a 2003 Z-71. He has 283,000 miles and every part on the truck is original except for the tires, breaks, air and oil filters. He changes the oil every 5,000 miles, which is about every 3 months for him. In his defense, he is NOT an aggressive driver.
That's awesome!
My Dad's 4.3L V6'd S-10 went 300k with everything original except for the fuel pump and even then it was fine. He donated it to a local high school auto shop. The man was religious about changing his oil and coolant though.
I can't say that I am as diligant but at the same time, I'm in the ballpark. 3k is a guide, not a rule. I do know that the Magnum likes to carry a full tank of gas versus half empty if that counts for anything.

I'll give an 'at-a-boy' to Mark Wills for not finishing last.

Looks like leaving the match yesterday when I did was a good idea and not having gone at all would have been the better idea. Sheesh.

Silver Buckle report to follow, but in advance, definitely an okay performance, but far from what I'm capable of as well as far from my 'normal' performance. A lot of external factors, but ultimately it comes down to me just not being patient and shooting EACH stage.

Just got back from driving from Ridgecrest to Bakersfield to pick-up the fiance and then back to Sacramento. 9 hours of sleep in 2 days and I'm whooped. Fun match all around. I wish I could have shot a little better, but given the amount of practice that I've put in since the Golden Bullet and really not finding out I could shoot the match until Sunday didn't make for the most conducive environment for success. However a HUGE thanks goes to:
- Gary & Di the MD's for the match. Thanks for the late entry, letting me help out and for the awesome barbecue at Benny's birthday party Saturday night.
- To the Santiago's (Caesar, Lisa & Nick 'a.k.a. little kahuna', a.k.a. 'Nick the Six') I can't thank you guys enough for letting me crash at the house. Again, the hospitality, being able to BS about EVERYTHING and just hanging out was great. For those that don't know, Nick is a junior Master class Limited shooter and the kid is focused on success and will be successful at anything he does.
- To the match staff and EVERYONE at Sage. You are definitely some of the best people to be around and on top of that get to shoot with. Wish I could have stayed longer, but we'll be back. It was good seeing old faces, revisiting familiar ones and making new friends.
Silver Buckle IS the Sage Pistol League IMHO. It's a sleeper match with great stages and again, you won't find nicer people to spend a weekend with.

Headin' out in 20 mikes.

Great job Bud. I did the same at the Golden Bullet. Just shut down the ego (except one stage) and just shot. Novel idea huh?

This is just funny. Damn 1st ID.
Come home safe boys & girls.

Matt - I'm with you (and it's something of us were considering at one time). As for liability, don't sell any ammo. That's your ammo, you loaded it, you bought IF it screws up (and once you get a Camdex set up I don't see it screwing up).

Are biggest problem is probably AD's.

RS - The setup on my 1100 was sweet for drilling slugs at distance. FO front with a Williams rear peep. On the Benelli, I just run a RO front.

I talked with MV this week and he was clean on the barricade.

I don't have any but have played with more than a few and like everything else Bob does, they're great.
I'm a Grams guy.

Apparently some of you guys never saw Chuck & Kevin's shooting shirts from back in the day.

Dude...I'm way ahead of that. I will hit the O3's and Gluco/Condroidane. I found a couple of Morph injectors that haven't expired in my aid bag.
The plan for tonight (after packing the bags and cleaning out the car) is to clean the rifle out one more time, start an IV line and push like 2 liters, take a Flexiril, motrin combo and put my knee in a bucket of tiger balm.

So...freakin' company softball game last night. Did well. Went 4 for 4, Dinger and a triple. Coming off the field at the end of the game, my knee (three surgeries, jumps at Airborne school and the 82nd and a couple of deployments) is on FIRE!!!!
Not much better this morning. I'm pounding motrin like candy between now and Saturday when I have to shoot the Silver Buckle. 10 stages in one day. Woohoo! I'll be doing all the normal stuff too R.I.C.E. and rest. On top of that is our Multi-Gun match on Monday. 6 stages and most are multi-gun.
Oh well...getting old does suck.

Never been to a sniper match then. 1/4" targets at 100 yards all the time.

23. If, while mowing your lawn, you find a car
You laugh, but we found a boat on my buddy's property in Vacaville. Hadn't cut the back 20 acres in about 6 months and the fire marshall asked him to trim it down. Busted two weed wackers when we hit the trailer that it was sitting on and voila...boat.

DQ or ?
