  1. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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

  9. 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.
