Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. http://tarheel3gun.com/t3gn/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/2013-book3.pdf There's your match book. Charles has been sending out info for weeks via the google groups distro... Prolly wanna swing by the website and sign up for it.
  2. I found the match to be a solid combination of stand-and-shoots, some moderate movement, and some more physical stages. For someone whose shooting skills aren't on the same level as the Brian Rays and Kurt Millers of the world, I welcomed the opportunity to make up time on the running portions of the stages. Lots of folks complaining about the physical portion of the match, but I would posit that if we want to treat this like a SPORT and not just a game, perhaps we should consider what it takes to be an ATHLETE, not just a casual competitor. I work out every dang day that I'm not at a match, specifically so I can handle my guns more effectively (with my skinny girl arms) and be able to move through the stages quickly without feeling physically crushed at the end of the day. There's more to shooting than just the shooting; it's the thinking; it's the moving. And ALL of that is better when overall physical fitness is higher. Don't get me wrong -- I understand some folks have injuries and whatnot that prevent them from undertaking certain types of physical activity. But as far as I'm concerned, bring on the sprinting!!
  3. Forget BWI. MD gun laws are screwy about mag capacity. Dulles (it's actually in VA) is probably a little closer anyways, and VA gun laws are pretty much anything goes!
  4. sorry that should have been a message

  5. 1911 v. 2011 mag button will not work.

    michell custom guns from Breckinridge TX makes a mag button.

    I you want i have a old style SVI polymer grip that is left handed, with a mag button on the right side.

    let me know

  6. Shoulda signed up for amateur based on my (ugly) finishes at last year's matches, but what the heck. Semi-pro it is, and gonna get my butt kicked. Do I get cool points for looking good doing it?
  7. Looking for a little help from my shooting friends. I'm a lefty who recently inherited an STI 2011 that was built for a righty. I'm looking for an ambi mag release (I'd settle for a right-side one), but my searching on Brownell's, Midway, and "da Google" isn't turning up much. To show my ignorance: will a mag release designed for a 1911 work in a 2011? (If yes, then perhaps I've found a few.) Any lefties out there that can help me out? Thanks!
  8. Yea, my app is already in for CMMG. I thought this was going to be in late June. Too bad it can't be a week earlier so the matches don't overlap. Looks like it's going to be a great time! It's also the same weekend as USPSA VA/MD Section Championship. My kingdom for a tele-porter!!
  9. Ok ok ok, twist my arm a little more! Please tell me there are slots left on Saturday? app will go in the mail tomorrow.
  10. Hmm...I wasn't gonna come, but when I heard the theme was Blazing Saddles...
  11. It pays to show up to registration on Friday. Shorter lines, and I'll be there with COOKIES!
  12. Ap3 - Can you please provide more info about this: "Google map to the Peacmaker Range for a 3gun class we are having there" The idea of a 3-gun class (hopefully open for registration?) in close proximity to my house is really exciting to me. Thanks!!
