All I see are some targets spread out along the side berm and the back berm. So you can shoot to the right while moving toward the back of the stage and taking the back targets. By your reasoning any 3 sided bay with targets along the sidewalls becomes a bay with three back berms and you end up being able to shoot anywahere in the 360 degrees by facing each sidewall. And that includes shooting out the open end of the bay.

I think reentries have always been listed in the USPSA results pages in the same order as the results were. It used to be a little different when it would show a reentry as being first in the match but not list them as a match winner. And before that you had to trick the system to get a reentry at all. You still have to keep thinking about the reentry special cases. There's one where someone reshoots the classifier in the same division to send in a better score for classification. Another is when he reshoots the classifier in a different division. Another is shooting the whole match again in the same division or a different one. Sometimes the reentry is a real score that should be treated like any other and sometimes it shouldn't be allowed to affect the match.

The reentry got 0 stage points and the maximum stage points went to the highest real shooter so there shouldn't be any effect on the match totals.

Tell him to put something like "I have a new number" next to the name on the papers. The stats guy's probably not going to be checking the number to verify that it is still the same as last time.

We've never had to jump through hoops to keep a large group together by doing the squadding by hand. Same goes for someone asking if he can be squadded with some A class production shooters or building a squad of Revolver shooters. I think of it as customer service.

How about a group of six shooters that want to shoot together on Saturday but none of the online squads have six openings? Maybe they should have signed up earlier but maybe most of them did but one guy was late. Easy to do with a squadding request but not with online squadding.

Tradtional hardball loads are 230 grains at 820+. If you want to keep it as a legal ball gun you might want to add some kind of clipon mag well you could take off. Some of the legal thumb safeties are bigger than others too. Any internal changes you need to get a hardball gun to feed wadcutters are legal and simple for a gunsmith to do. Then you change the recoil spring. The four pound trigger isn't that heavy or hard to shoot with speed but many people prefer a lighter trigger.

Best I could say would be that the DQed shooter is still part of the match even though he's been disqualified from having a score and the subminor guy is shooting the match for no score. No score means he isn't part of the match results so he disappears from the results.

If you put an empty mag in the gun and pull the slide all the way back, does it lock back? If not, can you push the slide lock lever up and lock it? Does the follower move when you do that?

The 280 was a very nice gun that could take a 32 top end. They are still fairly expensive and are really only suited for bullseye or international target shooting. It is also long out of production and the parts are disappearing pretty fast. Unless you're looking to get really specialized a Marvel conversion on a 1911 base is a very good target pistol and is widely used for bullseye

Your scores weren't deleted, the fact that you were DQed makes them print out as zeros. If you had only shot half the stages then the stage report for the stages you shot would have a line full of zeroes showing you were DQed and the stages you hadn't shot wouldn't mention you at all. If the stats guy unDQs you then your hits and time would be on the printout because they stay in the match database. Part of the DQ is that you have no score for the match.

The old fashioned way involved the high start and then lowering the gun to the bullseye. Some ranges don't allow that at all now. With both guns, lift the gun from the bench, align the sights and get them aimed at the right spot on the target. Accept the wobble. Then press the trigger straight back without disturbing the sight alignment or moving it with your finger. Be sure to follow through -- as in hold the sight alignment just that way until after the gun goes off. Recover from the recoil after the follow through, not before.

About 10 years ago this stuff passed through the bullseye world. It was reliable stuff (if the grease didn't foul things up) but the saying was that there was a 5 in every box. Some of those things would just veer off course and cost a lot of points. It wouldn't affect a steel shooter as much.

Here are the 2009 NRA Action Pistol Production Rules: ... The following firearm modifications are prohibited. Single action only firearms. Custom-shop firearms. Peep, ghost, optical, electronic, Bo-Mar and Aristocrat type sights. Tom... bianchicup@nrahq.org How many of those rules apply to the nostalgia match that is limited to the 1911s shooting .45? I'll bet most of the ones used in the early matches had Bo-mar sights. Would a Les Baer Premier II as described in his catalog qualify as a production gun for the nostalgia match?

Copied from the NRA Competitive Shooting eNews -- December, 2008 Notes From The Director Special Committee on Multi-Gun Competition NRA President John Sigler established a new committee to discuss the potential for NRA sanctioning of Multi-Gun or 3-Gun competitions. Special Committee on Multi-Gun Competition members came together for their first meeting on October 25, 2009 at NRA Headquarters. Task Force members include: NRA President John Sigler, Chairman, Mr. Bill Allen, Vice Chairman, Mr. Gregory Coker, Mr. Andrew Horner, Ms. Denise Johnson, Mr. John Gangl, Mr. David Power, Mr. Steve Sutherland, Mr. Randy Luth and Aaron Hampton, SFC, USA Committee members were chosen from Multi-Gun match organizers and firearms manufacturers with specific products for multi-gun competition. All committee members were very enthusiastic about the possibility of NRA's involvement in these competitions. Multi-Gun competitions are a fast moving action shooting sport where competitors must go through specific stages using a rifle, pistol and shotgun or any combination of these firearms. Multi-Gun matches sanctioned by the NRA would be a major change from the traditional bull's-eye precision competition normally associated with the NRA. In Multi-Gun competition the competitor moves from target to target with loaded firearms and engages both paper and steel targets through unknown stages of fire. There are a number of large Multi-Gun tournaments that want to have NRA sanctioning. With these tournaments as a base, the NRA could introduce this exciting tactical competition to local affiliated clubs across the U.S. In future meetings the NRA will ask for the members help in designing other tactical courses of fire and how to incorporate tactical rifles and sights into our traditional shooting programs. We will keep you posted on new programs that result from these meetings. --- Anyone heard anything about this?

I know that you can use the Lee Die, Powder Funnel, and Powder Measure, or you can put a Dillon Powder Die, Funnel, and Measure there instead. I've never tried to mix them and I doubt that it would work.

Not ideal but the Rugers have always been popular as starter 22s and they're usually good enough to shoot master scores. The 22/45 has an advantage over the normal ruger because the grip angle is the same as the 45 where the normal ruger feels more european.

Probably not many that work at it. But there's at least one.

They are up now http://www.themasters.org/
