I like the tube to be longer then my barrel so when I dump the thing in barrels and the extended chokes and the front sight are not the things taking the impact. Powder residue on the tube and aesthetics be damned, I'm not marrying the thing and taking it the my high-school reunion as a trophy wife, I'm just banging it around, leaving it wet, dropping it like a used burger wrapper and smacking it against things. 24" for me.

That is neither here no there. On the data provided the damn stage was broken, as agreed upon by the rangemaster.

Sure, what does the rule book say about the RO and the RM being in error?

Also I want to share how much I'm loving the thread title, I'm going to use "pooply" a lot as a adjective.

Forgive me for applying logic when the rule book is broken Mr Frag has the correct real answer, if the stage was broken for multiple shooters, throw it out.

You know what, I'll go against the grain. Reshoot. Because we sometimes have to allow space for common sense, if the stage is agreed upon by everyone that it is broken, fix the bloody thing and then have the shooter reshoot it. And do that early as soon as the thing is noticed as being broken, so you don't have to reshoot half of the shooters in the match.

The carver magwell works with both stock mag pads and the arrendando ones, it is the only one I know that does that. On the downside, there is a bit of a step on the forward section of the magwell that you could catch on during the reloads, and it sure isn't cheap.

Dan, fighting the future always works out well in the end Although I'll shoot at any target you give me, I think 400yards or so is probably the outer limit that makes sense for 3gun. God help me, I'm agreeing with Kurt 400 is far enough that you don't just hold the center of the target and probably hit it as 250 and under likely does, so it adds an interesting skill test without becoming an exercise in frustration.

York and topton are your best choices.

louu, even if the match doesn't require it, always assume you will need one. I have a sling that lives in my rifle bag, so I never have to worry about it.

They are not changing reloading, they are changing everything. That's great, I was thinking of buying some winter tires, but now I'll just way for Hornady to change mine for me.

Is that the complete list for 2016? There seems to be a large regional hole for the mid Atlantic area, or most of the center of the country.

Me too.

And right now you can get one for $165 http://www.dvor.com/jp-enterprises-stainless-lmos-carrier-with-qpq.html

I use it in 40 and 9. I like it.

I'm betting on a scooter. That was the last big thing that was going to change the world, but eventually its creator drove one of a cliff.

Kurt, the .58 caliber Burnside carbine will like a talk with you and your puny 30 cal I think historically carbine had more to do with barrel length then caliber, usually referring to a cavalry purposed shorter barrel length then the full length rifles.

Thats certainly possible, also the different triggers, different weights, different recoil impulse .. I'm sure everything comes into play.

I emailed Charles and he told me he didn't receive my original reply. If you didn't get your refund you may want reach out to him again.

People make up all sorts of reasons to shit on other people's hobbies. Sure, if you are an archer, bullseye-ist, or whatever, 0.2 splits are not a thing you care about or know how to make it happen. If you are trying to prove yours superiority you'll find any reason to do so without actually understanding what the hell you are talking about. Interestingly, I slap my pistol trigger at full speed, but I ride the trigger at full speed with a rifle. No idea why.

I'm sure they care, but I also think you are forgetting about all sorts of variables. This isn't entirely the choice of a match director, very often the facility dictates the match flavor as well. Your original post ended with a series of questions. To me those questions implied that somehow we need to choose between on flavor or another. I think that is a false choice, when both match flavors can be offered at the same time. Why ask match directors to put on a particular type of match? Why not have the entire Baskin Robins?

My point is that BOTH flavors are offered and both flavors sell out. Why would a match director listen too deeply to which type of match you like, if he is selling out the match? Regardless of what flavor he is selling, he is selling all he can make, so his answer to "I want more chocolate" is going to be "that's nice, I sell vanilla and I can't keep it on the shelf". This would be a problem if everyone only sold vanilla, but right now that doesn't seem to be the case.

it seems to me that right now the ice cream manufacturers are selling out all product, regardless of flavor, or at least they do in my neck of the woods, I have to cyber-stalk signup pages 6 months in advance so I reserve my pint. Perhaps your experience is different in your are where there is an excess of ice cream, but right now it seems that to me that flavor selection is not the issue, but shortage of production lines is the biggest issue. The consumer is buying all the ice cream produced, regardless of flavor. For various reasons, I predict next year will be even worse in my area. In the real ice cream world, the manufacturers have to continuously throw new flavors to the wall and see what sticks to compete among themselves. In our world, they could be selling anchovy flavor and they would sell out. Actually, I know of a match last year that was pretty much anchovy with arsenic trimmings.

Of course.
