Eagle Arms was acquired by Armalite years ago.

I don't know about that, the title of the page is "IRONMAN '03" and the page itself says "'05".

Let's collect 2006 3Gun, multigun, rifle, shotgun, and sniper match schedules in this thread.

Front 242, I like it...

Alan likes it rough.

No doubt! You burned those stages up.

Just click on them to see. 2005 Cavalry Arms 3Gun Match Report 2004 Report here: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?...topic=18237&hl= Cavalry Arms put on a great 3Gun match in Waco TX this year. Pretty much all the problems from the match's first year (2004) were addressed. This year we had good stages, good organization, fair and clear scoring, and good weather. The original schedule was to start at noon on Friday, shoot 4 stages, then come back at night for the kill-house stage; start 8AM Saturday, shoot another 4 stages and finish up any kill-house shooters at night; and then finish up Sunday morning. Because of the moderate turn-out, great RO's, and good stage workers, my squad - Trooper - finished a total of 7 stages Friday, and shot the rest Saturday morning. The rest of the time was spent shooting some L.R. side-matches and basically screwing around. We shot every stage ahead of schedule, and finished the match a full day ahead of schedule. Stages: Weak Hand / Wounded: Retrieve unloaded pistol, load and engage two plate racks from behind table weak hand only. http://apollo.demigod.org/~zak/DigiCam/TV3...00_0684_img.jpg http://apollo.demigod.org/~zak/DigiCam/TV3...00_0686_img.jpg http://apollo.demigod.org/~zak/DigiCam/TV3...00_0690_img.jpg http://apollo.demigod.org/~zak/DigiCam/TV3...00_0691_img.jpg http://apollo.demigod.org/~zak/DigiCam/TV3...00_0692_img.jpg Hose-Fest: Starting with chamber-empty pistol, shotgun, and rifle on table, engage a set of pistol, shotgun, and rifle targets. http://apollo.demigod.org/~zak/DigiCam/TV3...00_0715_img.jpg http://apollo.demigod.org/~zak/DigiCam/TV3...00_0718_img.jpg http://apollo.demigod.org/~zak/DigiCam/TV3...00_0720_img.jpg Escape: Starting locked in a cage, retrieve key, unlock door, pick up shotgun to engage at least 5 plate, then retrieve pistol to engage the rest. http://apollo.demigod.org/~zak/DigiCam/TV3...00_0736_img.jpg http://apollo.demigod.org/~zak/DigiCam/TV3...00_0741_img.jpg http://apollo.demigod.org/~zak/DigiCam/TV3...00_0752_img.jpg http://apollo.demigod.org/~zak/DigiCam/TV3...00_0756_img.jpg Zombies: Using rifle, pistol, and/or shotgun, engage a field of "zombie" targets.

He then ran forward about 50 yards to engage a some small autopoppers with pistol. He then retrieved a dummy and carrier it on the supplied Kifaru pack, back to the chopper. After the dummy was in the chopper, he re-engaged the steel targets with rifle. http://apollo.demigod.org/~zak/DigiCam/TV3...00_0931_img.jpg http://apollo.demigod.org/~zak/DigiCam/TV3...00_0932_img.jpg http://apollo.demigod.org/~zak/DigiCam/TV3...00_0936_img.jpg http://apollo.demigod.org/~zak/DigiCam/TV3...00_0941_img.jpg http://apollo.demigod.org/~zak/DigiCam/TV3...00_0942_img.jpg http://apollo.demigod.org/~zak/DigiCam/TV3...00_0943_img.jpg Kill-house The kill-house was started well after dark, with torches illuminating its outside. The shooter started with a loaded handgun and provided shotgun loaded with 2 rounds. He breached the MGM breaching door and shot the extra round of birdshot. He then drew his pistol, used whatever light he brought, and located and engaged whatever "shoot" targets he found in the house.

Just got home, 15 hour drive from Waco. Will post in depth report tomorrow with pics as usual. I have 620+ pics on my camera... -z

The CO contingent is here and ready to go.

I've seen too many Paras break and I am not impressed by the CZ's (I still own 2). If I didn't want to match the ergos on my Limited gun, I'd get a Glock 34.

I had already planned to have no holes through the slide, in order to keep dirt out during the field matches.

Sights will be black/black fixed Heinies for simplicity and durability. Is there any advantage to internal lightening over external (e.g. Fat Free configuration)?

I assume 5"? What does internal lightening entail?

I've acquired a more or less complete SV short-dustcover double-stack lower. My plan is to get an upper in 9mm for all those "outlaw" 3Gun matches, and the field-style tac rifle/sniper matches. It'll be riding in a holster a lot, so it can't be real heavy or huge. Fixed sights and it can't be ported. I'd like it to be as flat- and quick-shooting as possible, digesting factory Walmart 9mm, Win NATO, and moderate to pumped up reloads. Who has suggestions for the configuration of the upper? (I already have a proper "Limited 40" -- SV/long-wide, etc.)

dghboy315, See http://demigod.org/optics (also tacked in the MOR forum) which contains an explanation what the Horus can do over mildots.

To answer the question, you do not need to use the PDA/software. You can use a conventional data book or a data-card. I use a data-card correct for my altitude. The only thing you need to do is make sure your data is in mils. ETA: you can buy an SN3 from USO with the H25 in it.

YMMV.

I always just used a piece of duct tape over the objective lans. Roll of duct tape-- $2.50, lasts forever. Also, many people are using screws that protrude into the channel. I think they will hit the rod. -z

One reason the HK uppers cannot end up in civ hands is because the End User Cert for the batch approved for import was MIL.

The one POF upper at the Tactical Response carbine class was having trouble throughout both days, while the vast majority of the regular AR15's ran fine.

There's also the Leitner-Wise conversion.

Ok, who's not coming and WHY NOT ?!?!!

howstuffworks.com has a pretty good answer about golf balls, laminar flow, etc.

Where are the TIMES?
