It was those evil 50yrd rifle head shots with no-shoots all the way around the heads......EVIL

YoboSaYo?

here some info for ya.......yes it happened to me...and put it all in a rifle case if you do travel.......they took my big pistol case to the bathroom and broke into it. This would be a little harder with a rifle case. Yes .223 is ok in the bag (small arms ammo)....just don't exceed the 11lbs. I would STRONGLY advise you take out the extra insurance. The airlines only cover so much (usually $2500/bag....and you must show proof of purchase when you file for anything over $100). I had a STI EDGE and my carry glock stolen by TSA/FSS. and the airline bag reimbursment helped, but did not cover it all. And just a note to make everyone happy.......there where 4 people involved....3 got fired......1 of the 3 got 2yrs probation......the TSA guy is still working.......I feel so much safer. Yes there was ammo in the case with the firearms....which is legal.....and for 48hours after the lift of my guns.....the police taking the report and TSA taking a report.....neither seemed overly concerned that there firearms and ammunition accessable to the secure area of the airport........pretty scarey. All I have to say.....it take the max insurance you can.....and you better have the receipts to prove the values......... I work for a airline and will not travel with my guns anymore.......after all the crap that I had to go through.... Good Luck

Thanks to all the helped/setup/worked/and most of all sweated for the 2006 TX St. 3-gun.......I brought up a new 3-gun shooter (but long time pistol shooter) and he was thrilled with the whole match......especially the RO's.......they where very nice and pleasant, not out to get you, but help you in anyway they could........and (of coarse), great stages! GOOD JOB!!!!! Garret Hawkins

So if there is a scope in "Heavy Metal"........will there be a division scoring split (Iron and Scope), just like in Limited/Tactical divisions? Then a split in scoring on auto vs. pump also? I still believe that Heavy Metal (He-Man) still should be all irons with pump for shotgun......if you are going to add auto shotguns and rifle scopes...just call it "Open Metal" Sorry Benny.....Just my thoughts on it.

limited....now a days...i am very limited (mentally)....LOL

thanks for the assist sheldon........

Has anyone else received their confirmation email/letter yet? I burned out a email to inquire about it, and no response..........i know i have it in to them in plenty of time, but my check has not cleared the bank yet? i am looking fwd to the match........just curious on the theme thing for this year?

there is no better place for my rifle! they say that your weapon should be a extension of your body. I hope ya'll have a good dinner.....and yes, I broke down and sent in my app......so i will be shooting the match.......i know this shocks you, but it is true. Do good in the match....and i will think about wearing my spongebob shirt for ya....

Mell, If you see a funnel.....just hold off 23 feet to which ever side the wind is...... Garret

EVEN SPONGEBOB GOES TO RICK'S

Tom, got your email thanks

Tom, got your email thanks

.........my rifle is stuck to my hands....... as for info on rick's here ya go www.ricks.com/locations.html or www.ricks.com

Sharyn, I think it should be at Rick's. They have a great menu...... Garret

I do support the bayonet lug removal......there are way to many drive-by bayonetings in this country. Kurt......if you showed up in camo and a bow with a 10mm on your hip....i would think you where Ted Nugent!

FYI.....you might want to consider only using a one piece steel guide rod........myself and 2 of my other friends have busted tungsten rods using the alum buffs......the steel rod it is ok......we all broken guide rods within 2 weeks of shooting. Yes they do work and feel great, don't get me wrong. I have not had any frame or slide damage from them, running a 10# spring in my Edge.

FYI.........n310 3.6gr loaded to 1.22" with precision 200gr makes 168PF on 60deg day. 5" EDGE.....11# recoil spring....

I left a shelf on mine when I milled it....oring fits snuggle as a bug.....and still took over half a pound off of it.

Bronco.......what in the hell are you talking about "scope massacre"........that was a LASER GUIDED TARGETED STRIKE!

castrol syntec 5w30.....very light coat on the carrier rails......i never run it dry...personally

just got back from the range...... Precision 200gr 1.24" in STI 5" n310 = 3.8grs 870fps average.... could probably go down to 3.5 or 3.6 and still make major.....i have been using n310 with 200gr montana golds oal 1.2" and are nice...

looking for a load for 40sw precision bullets (black bullet) using N310.....loaded out to 1.20".

i am in total agreement.......when i feel that he is ready for his first match.....i will not let him shoot it unless i can RO him......of coarse clearing this with the match director prior to the match......and i honestly don't think that should be a problem......but also taking into consideration that i have coached him thoroughly prior that first match. a VERY active part, on my part is the key to my son's training and shooting.....if i did not have a active part and just let shoot, that would be idiotic!

not at this time....i would agree with you on the age and a field coarse at this time.....but getting the basics of shooting/targets/reloads/studing coarses/positions/rules/etc. down, then by 9 or so.....start in on actually shooting field coarses....... But the thing that we forget......kids are like sponges.......adults are not....when it comes to learning...(i know i am not)......i got started later in life and it was hard......i just want to get him started off right without falling into bad habits, then have to try and break him of those.
