I got verbally assaulted for having a rifle not in a case."Brandishising!" Walmart? Publix? Nope,a gun store/indoor range. "Guns and knives"gets no more of my dollars. All we have is our wallets,thats it. I got plenty more places to go anyhoo,thank goodness.

great job and thanks again from stage 5

I know this is late but i just saw this thread. I'm but a lowly "B" limited shooter and hope to practice with an occasional 3-gunner who's got some cool toys. My position is i'll beat him with a long gun on short courses. I will get him on either score or time. Me semi-auto him slect fire. His score will suffer or his time will suffer. I do need to set up some standerds and speed shoots in addtition to field courses. My thing is field courses,oh yes,field courses. In my opinion it would take a good "A" shooter to maybe beat a "B",given these parameters. A "GM" would yawn at this challenge.(MY OPINION MIND YOU). A Falshback in time for me ............................................. The first time I met Jeff D. (OLD SCHOOL GM,NOT OLD).He talked about this very subject,but to be fair.At that skill level an airsoft gun is dangerous. All things being equal full auto losses in this venue

I did a quick look and found no poll about this. So deleat it and send me the right way if this is redundant. Thanks

Having made several "homebrew" flippers, the highest distance we were seeing was about 10'. These MGM flippers when used with the MGM pepper popper THROWS the clays up in the air. They work quite well, and get my vote! java script:emoticon('',%20'smid_13') Thanks,I built 4 home brews allready and i got 10' consistantly cool right........... but............................ low and behold.at the last minute............................. Our local range said no way.Somthing about not wanting peices of clays littering the range! CLAYS!BIODEGRADABLE CLAYS!AT THE END OF A RIFLE RANGE!NOT A PRISTINE GOLF COARSE,MIND YOU,BUT A BRASS LITTERED RIFFLE RANGE! Oh well it's just a weekend of R&D and a little labor. I got the news after setting up these babies at the tues night match. NEW PLAN WIN THE LOTTO,BUY A GUN FRIENDLY STATE AND RUN MY OWN MATCHES 5 DAYS A WEEK.Of coarse you gotta rest a little and reload ammo

Free men/women should have this right nationwide

Just so I'm clear..................... I'm so very sorry for not doin it on the first offence,not sorry for the dq.Yea i felt like i may have caused an attitude of "entitlement"by being lax. NEVER AGAIN.Whats the worst that could happen if you stop a shooter mistakenly ?A reshoot.OK I"LL TAKE THAT compared to the potential grief soon to follow. Great point Dan and others,we dq ourselves not the ro.All the ro does is break the bad news to the shooter.Thanks for the support and i hope to never post this story again as long as i live.

After several experiments i now run mag cinch's with a healthy dose of duct tape along with a rase stock. The race stock can be blindingly fast.I've seen the guy that makes em use it and i don't think (as a b mind you)i can reload my sti any faster. Oh yea he shoots ok tooooooooo.

I'm runnin a guy in a rifle-shotgun combo stage and at the end of the stage the rifle should be "saftey on" or DQ.Was'nt....................no one downrange,local match never left the table it was placed on in the transition/last shooting position.NONE OF THEM GOOD REASONS FOR NOT DQing this guy. I warn him quietly as we unload to show clear,and he seems out of it a little. Hot day ,getting a little punchy,dehydrated.I urged him to drink some water and get some shade. Next stage He's up I'm scoring and well behind both ro and shooter ,when................ I see the rifle,1st the side then the muzzel of the rifle ,as he was going forward he did not pull out far enough from a port and went well past the 180...................... It was near the end and he did finish.The squad then started asking about it. The ro did'nt have time to react to it when it happened in my opinion,so ..................... We began to explain to the shooter what he did ................... Without droning on on every little detail ,he got insulted by "being called"dehydrated And then a little name calling (one way)and he got DQd.Then drove off still wearing his gear.I hope he took his pistolla off before he stopped for gas. I will never make that mistake again.I should have followed the rules,even though it was me that almost had a rifle pointed at me it could have been somone else. Man I'm so sorry

I bought one of those "140mm "What the f@#$ kind a measuring stick did they use? The common concencus i get from M and up is don't sweat it ,plan a mag change.These guys also make holes in the A zone before the mag hits the ground and somtimes moving! DAMNIT SOMEDAY I WANNA DO THAT TOO ! Till then I'm a struggling B and hate the equipment race. Make Limited hold 20or 21 max and open hold 30or 50 or whatever those people typically hold and workin stiffs like me can spend the mag spring tune up money on reloading supplies or even gas to get to the match or etc..................... VENT OVER I religated my SPS mag to steel matches,guess i'll get out the dremmel and change that.

Ya get what ya paid for. My comp master was good for a while but......................... After more gas rings,o rings and obsessing. No answer..........WAIT.....YEP At the end of my last zeroed (lost count of how many)stage,as i showed clear. "First $500 buys this junk"and a hand went up in the crowd. I gave $850 for it ,but compared to beating it against the dumpster at the range $500 was pure profit Benny hill ordered ,just now. I'm so done tuning!Compare a dissassembled Benelli to a rem ,then assemble(this aplifies the effect)them both. The benelli is a well made machine that makes the rem look like 2 soup cans tied together with a string. The price difference is substancial but Quality aint cheap.

looks cool and i think i've shot at them too. but ........... I am designing stages for my local club who don't got that stuff and a treasurer that well................... ........................i can't,or i'm sure gonna get an e-mail from the big guy. So I'm buildin-em myself out of palet wood and ford 6.0L head bolts(got lots!). Thanks for the link I'm gonna adjust my design a little. Don't own a ford 6.0L truck out of warrenty unless you got deep pockets and an extra to drive while its down

Anybody got layout plans for a clay flopper. I think its called a flopper,a see-saw giz-mo that(when a popper falls on it)throws a clay into the air. Any input would be groovy.

I bought a few from tapco, but all the sudden only dsa had any at all.I soldered 2 20 round wire springs together and they worked great.Dsa has a pretty good rep, they should for the price of their stuff.Now if i can only get them to ship that blaster i ordered in DEC. 05.

Throw that plastic piece of !@#$%^&*( away. Then get a collet style deal.Midway has a few and get a cheat single stage press dedicated to that. It can save you if you load a bad batch of ammo, this is a draw back to souping up our dillons to crank out alot of quick rounds.
