Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. For those of you wanting to shoot in Columbia this Sunday the 28th, they have canceled due to the heavy rain. More practice until the April shoot!
  2. Phil, I am new to this as well and will be interested in what the others say. I would suggest calling Rudy at the following link. He was easy to get to and very helpful with my question. I think you could shoot in either. There may be more catagories and prizes available in one over the other. I'm shooting in the Metallic division, so if you're any good I suggest going Production. Good Luck! http://www.nra.org/frame.cfm?url=http://ww...mpete/index.asp
  3. SRT, Thanks for the feedback. Rudy has been helpful on other requests and I will confirm with him.
  4. Can anyone help with a clarification of the 2004 Rules that I have post in part below. I hope to be shooting in the Bianchi Cup for the first time in May. I have tried to get answers elsewhere, and searching in this Forum, but nothing yet. I am hoping someone here can elaborate. I want to shoot in the Stock Class and am confused with the new Production Class. Is this just a way of grouping similar guns together within the newly broadened Stock Class (rule 3.2)? I will probably be shooting an Edge 5.0 in .40. Looks like it will fit in Rule 3.2. My question in whether the "optical sights" mentioned in 3.2.b. refer to "fiber optic" sights? If so, looks like I need to stick with a more standard front post. Does Rule 3.5 mean that the sponsor can override the sight limitations in 3.2 and 3.2.1 and allow fiber optics? Thanks in advance for any help you all have!! 3. FIREARMS, EQUIPMENT AND 3.2 Metallic Sight Firearm - Minimum caliber is 9x19mm (9mm); a semiautomatic firearm with no more than a 6 1/4-inch barrel length. The front sight not to extend past the front of the slide and the rear sight not past the rear of the slide by 1/4-inch. A Revolver’s barrel will not exceed 8 5/8 inches in length; the front sight not to extend past the front of the barrel and the rear sight will not extend past the rear of the frame. The following items are prohibited: (a) Wings. ( Peep, ghost, optical or electronic sights. © Orthopedic grips - no part of the grip may encircle the hand. (d) Thumb rests. (e) Compensators or ported barrels. 3.2.1 Production Firearm - A semi-automatic handgun or revolver which is or has been a catalogue item readily available to the general public equipped with metallic sights.

(e) External finishes, either protective or decorative , or other non-functional embellishments such as engraving, inlays, or inscriptions. 3.3 All Types of Pistols Will Compete Together-The same conditions of time, distance, or scoring shall apply to all firearm types equally. When Centerfire and Rimfire Firearms are allowed in the same tournament separate aggregate awards must be provided. A sponsor may recognize Rule 3.2 Stock Firearms and 3.2.1 Production Firearms by providing a separate award(s), or may restrict a tournament to only these firearms. Any such conditions must be stated in the Official Program. 3.5 Sight Restrictions-Sponsor must state one of the options in the program: (a) There shall be no restrictions on sights, sight radius, or length of barrel. ( Optical sights of any type are prohibited.
  5. Looks like I've stumble across the motherload of Edge shooters. This is my first post in this Forum after spending the last few days trying to catch up for about 15 years of not shooting. I could kick myself for getting away from shooting as I am now recalling how fun it was. This Forum is great to say the least. So, maybe I'm having a mid-life crisis but I am hooked again and ready to jump back in. I live in Columbia, Mo now, so what a better place and time with May approaching. I definitely have a goal to shoot in the Bianchi Cup and want to get into IPSC as well. At this time I could care less about Open shooting. I have been researching and reading these posts and have almost decided on the STI Edge .40. I have a buddy here who reloads and shoots as well, so all I need is a little push. Any feedback on the Edge .40 as a good gun for both types of shooting?
