Rob
Thanks for the update.
I have been searching the net (off and on) for WSR since May.

I am nearing the end of my supply of Winchester Small Rifle Primers.
AND
No one seems to have Winchester in stock.
I use them for .40 S&W, .38 Super, and soon .223 Rem. in a Dillon 650.
Is there a "BIG" difference between brands of Small Rifle Primers?
I use Winchester because that was the Large Pistol Primer I started using in 1997.

DQ's at SCC2008
The stage design and setup crew worked really hard this year to keep out the 180 traps etc, and we still had too many DQ's
A quick review of the DQ Folder seems to indicate three things were combined (Finger, Trigger, and Reload) with loud, high velocity evidence.
The crew can't fix this. It's up the shooters.
Ladies and gentlemen
Please keep your finger off the trigger while reloading.

Wow, there have been a zillion rounds necked down....bet Patrick Sweeny knows though...
Yes,
but,
are any of them still around?
-
It's been 8 or 9 years but I ran across a round that looked like a .45 ACP necked down to .223
It looked almost like you could swap the barrel out of a Government model and shoot a new round.
Am I remembering a dream or is there such a round?

I'll be posting scores on the web at the end of each day.
They will be posted at the range as usual.
If you have photo's you'd like to see on the web page
please email them to:
tomneal@TNConsultingInc.com
I'll post some of them each night and forward all of them to the regular webmaster when he returns.
Range conditions are pretty good. We are in the process of getting power and water our part of the range and because of the trenching there are some moist spots. Watch your step or you may get your new range shoes muddy.
We are going to park as many cars as possible close to the stages. Just like we have for the past couple of years. The clubs 10 yard range will be open for club members during the match. Don't block parking in that area.
Port-a-cans will be delivered sometime Friday. The range still has 3 sets of bathrooms with running water.
Debbie Neal and Patty Leslie will be doing score keeping again this year. We have some kind of hunters ed class in the Blue Building. Score keeping will be done in the shop. Access to score keepers will be limited.
Friday's score keeping won't be done at the range. It will be done at home overnight.
Please remember that club members will be using other parts of the range during our match and try to keep the disruptions to minimum.
Steve Deardorf has done an execlent job on the prize table. All of our long time sponsors are back, big time. A lot of new sponsors are steping up.
I'll see you at the range.

Thanks for the help.

I have a P16 and the extractor broke this weekend.
Is this something anyone can drop in or do I need a master gunsmith to tweek the claw?
Setting the tension is something I can do.
See you at the range

Where can I find an explaination of "San Angelo Scoring"
I want to set up a multi-gun match and that seems to be the best (or only) way to score it.
-
Wow!
I don't think I have ever seen this much agreement with bunch of USPSA / IPSC shooters.
I guess I'll get the Grams.
-
It's time to replace Magazine Springs
What Spring to you use for your STI Big Stick? (170 MM .38 Super)
Where do you buy them?
-
Thanks
Both the answers I need
-
Ok.
I have decided to play USPSA Shotgun
I have a Rem. 1100 with an extended mag. tube. 9+1, ports, but no optics
What division does it fit into?
What if I add the Arridondo load ramp and speed loaders?
and
Does anyone know which set of rules we are working under?
I saw a thread about Mini-shells and it referenced Apendex D. So, I started looking for the rules. There seem to be a lot of choices.

Many of my family are educator, so it wasn't surprising that the topic of "What's wrong with public education?" came up at a family gathering.
I responded with:
"It's because 1/2 the kids are below average!!!!"
I rousing support from the educators.
They walk among us, and some of them are supposed to be teaching our kids.

Meh .. EWS makes it easy enough to do. I almost wish there was a button that just saved all the combinations of results at once. ... Then I would be only one step away from having the published straight to our website by mounting the directory localy via some ftp hack .. Ah ... to dream .. maybe I can get some trained monkey to type the results too
There is a way to publish all the combinations of results at once.
On the "Results" window
click the "Club.txt" button and take a look at the files

I clipped this off the uspsa web page
The 06 series of classifiers have been temporarily pulled while updates to the stage procedures are implemented. USPSA regrets the inconvenience.
-
I am always loaded with something;)
Today it's "good info".
-
also
Install the 2.29 upgrade to EzWinScore and look at the 'about' window.
First thing in the what's new is:
Adds the ability to hold 6 classifier stages at a Level I Special
-
6 classifiers
it's in the minutes of the March 2006 Directors meeting
-
Did anyone notice that you can now have 6 classifiers at an all classifier match?
-
I have some questions about the new classifiers
CM06-01
http://www.uspsa.org/classifiers/06-01.pdf
"Behind Baracade"
So if you want to step off to one side and shoot them all from one spot, that's ok as long as you are "Behnind the Baracade"?
Same question CM06-07
http://www.uspsa.org/classifiers/06-07.pdf
CM06-11
http://www.uspsa.org/classifiers/06-11.pdf
So the hammer can be back on a semi-auto?

Crono box
I have passed the word to Jim Bray. He has been running the crono for the last several years.
Hopefully he will be able to come up with something.

Light Rain
- In Houston, that means rain with a light and sound show. (Bryan and Robert found a wooden building to hole up in until it was over.)
Scores posting every night
- Debbie and I moved to Alvin for the match. The normal range computer died in the move from the stat shack to the "Blue Building". Debbie used my home computer for score keeping. Each night, I backed up the scores, broke the computer down and set it up in our hotel room.
That was a bit of work.
The range is working toward having high speed internet access at the range. Next year, I'd like to have a computer setup to surf the scores (and maybe the weather) for the shooters and publish the scores a couple of times a day (maybe every time stats catches up)
EzWinScore Data entry
- I won't say Debbie is fast but, she was so bored that she sorted and filed the score sheets to kill time. We've been married 26 years and I still think I got the best end of that deal.
I have been working SCC since 1998. This was the best one yet and I still see room for improvement.
I don't think there were enough RO's. Next year, I am going to hold out for 5 per stage. With one RO responsible for setting all the movers and making sure the targets are taped. Some of my RO's were completly used up by the end of Saturday.
The food was great but, I would like to have had breakfast and coffie available.
AND, as match director,
I would like the food to be more turn key than it was.
We had to have our folks working on it.
I forgot to get radios from Area 4. Oops.
I forgot the RO meeting and the shooters meeting until Sunday. Oops again.
The plate rack was an ok filler stage, but I won't use it again.
On the other hand. The plate racks were already set up in that bay.
We have stored the bridge in a hole on the other side of the berm. We plan to cover it with dirt to keep it from getting damaged.

I worked the USPSA booth with him when the NRA was in Houston in 2004. Deb and I had dinner with him that evening. He had a Black and Tan. I didn't. I'll make up for it tonight in remembrance.
Rest in Peace.
