Had to move a couple years ago, and did not know when the reloaders would be set up again. Loaded every piece of brass I could lay my hands on. I got in 5000 one day on the 1050. Left the old house with 18,000 loaded rounds total. I'm still finding ammo cans with that batch of relaods

What days are still available?

No restrictions on ammo purchases in Missouri, guys. You just have to be 21 years old.

We give out brass plates, with the date, name, and division win engraved. At least three in a class are required before an award is made. They run almost $3 each, and come from a local trophy shop. The club used to have walnut plaques made for the plates to glue on, and gave the first time plate winner a free plaque. The expense is amazing! It’s a legacy program, and most of the regular winners could care less about receiving a plate. They have a drawer full at home. At this point, I’m spending $50-60 a month for 40-50 shooters.

Walk-through starts at 9:00, for 4-5 pistol stages. Long-gun in the afternoon. If we start any later, the long-gun shooters are there till dark. Setup starts at 7:00 am, so the work crews are leaving at 6:00. We have enough out-of-towner’s show up that we haven’t worried about a later start.

Go back to small pistol primers, unless there is a reason for the rifle primers.

$65 for wood and $70 for synthetic stocks. $20 cut charge, plus the price of the pad ($27-35).

I like hot coffee. Black, please.

My 625 came the same way, new in the box. You need to knock the ridge off, just to save your fingers. I reload with the weak hand fingers through the frame, steadying the cylinder. The ridge will cut you pretty quick. Knock it off with a small file.

Before you blame the scope too much, dump the rings. Get a good set of solid rings. Most see throughs on sporting rifles are notoriously unstable. With a good bore sighter, you can watch the cross hairs move if you push on the scope. See throughs also mount the scope to high for quick acquisition. A low mount will help pickup the scope, if of a low enough power, as quick as most iron sights. We did eight scope mounts today, and two were see through replacements. All that said, the scope may bad. Again, a bore sighter will tell you real quick. Slap it on the gun, and see if the cross hairs move consistently.

Flex is right. The biggest issue for most of us is keeping the elbows bent. We tend to lock them up tight: paticulalry as the shots get harder.

Hmm? Don't we need the kind of pens that write upside-down. Just considering some of the positions we find ourselves in.

Federal.

I have a partner with the same problem. Steel gets lost in the grass or berm when we start using colors. He can see black or white fine. Using colored steel in a COF is a lot like making the big guys go prone in the middle of the Course. Doen't really test their shooting ability, just ups the sales for Advil.

Well, count me as one of the moaners. Steel should not be black as a concession to iron sites, nor red as a concession to dot guys. Those with full or partial color blindness do not need us making life harder. If penalty Steel targets are getting shot enough to need regular repainting, even those with “X”s, something is wrong. I like colorful stages, but it needs to be on the props, not the targets.

I'm with Run n Gun; standardize and simplify!

Turn your hat around, pull your pants up, and quit acting stupid.

Skywalker, who is handling stats, and are there any runners (folks trouble shooting props, delivering score sheets, and drinks for RO's) in the mix?

Vince, that makes sense. Thanks for the reply.

Man, some of you guys make me feel so old. Before there was IPSC, and even before Action Pistol, (my RO shirts still say Bianchi Cup, no NRA), there was PPC. For those of us who shot carry guns, the BOMAR rib was salvation. It was the only way to get windage and elevation adjustments, and at half the cost of installing adjustable sights, on a department gun. S&W L Frames come in several barrel lengths, including an 8 3/8" full under lug model. The 8 3/8" version is substantially heavier than a 4" version with the cover-up rib. Therefore, the cover-up rib is a replacement sight that is not heavier than the same revolver that has a longer barrel, at least from my perspective. Yep, still in KC, still "between assignments".

Thanks, Davidwiz. USPSA, revolver division, and the last photo is a match. Do you accept credit cards? How about American Express?

For revolver division, does a full length Bomar rib qualify as a site change or as an external weight on a 686 with service (fixed front, slot rear) sites? Thanks.

Our club is a corporation under state law, as well as not for profit under the IRS. We started to freak over IRS filings, until a reputable account let us know there is a minimum amount for income filings. I’ll have to get the number, and get back to you.

I've gone through about 15,000 of the 200 gr 45 acp SWC. They work well and don't lead in my guns at major velocity. JJH

Try 6.2 grains uniquie behind a 200 gr lead SWC, with a good crimp. Its dirty, but a good soft dirty. I use it all the time for club and area level matches.
