Kurt, You bringing the M1a ???? How about some of the world famous Brewski???? See you there!!!!! HOP BigHamp..... Might be nice to tell every one the expected ranges for Rifle and shotgun slugs. Some use different optics depending on expected ranges. (like me) Looking forward to it.

Don't worry John, I voted for you !!!! Really, I have been in USPSA for 4 years now......Have yet to see a ballot for Pres. Don't even know how long the "term" is for Pres, Area Cooridnators, Section Coordinators ect. HOP

NICE Merlin !!!!!! We all need a chill pill every now and then. HOP

Thanks Cameron, Jake. Bottom feeder.............tell him it's OK......we all have weak moments. SAM

Danbagger........ Why practice? Nationals is over, no one else is....I'm not I just pick up the gun and go shoot now. Carmoney.....Now that is another question......seems like I hear a 625 booming from the north western direction at least 8 hours a day now . Walsh I doubt is practicing...... Mike Luttrell is building a house. Jess...for some reason I doubt he's doing much Waltermitty......HMMMMM hes got an ICORE match....MO fall classic. NNAAHH he's just having fun too. So don't make it too hard on them. HOP Edited to fix what I hear from Carmoney's direction !!!!!

So if there are 6 of you ..... 1 Carmoney 2 Carden 3 Spruiel 4 Christiansen 5 Walsh 6 Luttrell 7 TOM ????? 8 Bubber ????? 9 HOP ?????????? That would be 11 dollars a piece to buy his entry into Revolver Division......If only the first 6 showed up. Nothing like good ole Payola Now get to E-mailing him His BENOS name is DaBlaster..... HOP

Tell him Hopalong said HI.....And he needs to go shoot the Missouri Fall Classic....going to be some good wheel gunners there. HOP and Fomiester......Get the Maffia out and go over to MO....bring Mrs Airedale and Dave can come too !!! Matt.....congrats on the 92% !!!!

Haven't seen or heard from him lately...... Any one seen or heard from him????? HOP

OK, I just sent DaBlaster a nasty E-mail about how there is no Missouri Native Revolver shooters to defend the States Honor...... And some other stuff ... Now that gives him 3 weeks to get used to the 610. We know he can handle the shooting....He is a GM in LTD...They know how to shoot....even with the difference between a bottom feeder and a Revo. And Like Dan said.....Most of the important stuff is not the shooting but the getting around the stage effeciently.....Which I'm pretty sure he can do. Now ya'll just send him one too, so he can feel welcome. HOP

Way to go Ken..... Now go get Bubber to go too !!!!! What about Tom ????? Surely the Harley can get to Iowa and him hitch a ride with the Carmoney's ? Even better Tom, My boss is going to ride his Gold wing(If we make the trip) He knows some good roads to go cruise on around Rolla....Goes twice a year. Would be a chance for you to see how Dan and Carmoney shoot those good Classifiers !!!!! Still can't say I'll be there......but can't say I won't !!!!! Hop

Jim, Sounds good.......Only thing is..... There are 4 of ya'll and 1 of me !!!!!! Sure would hate for all 4 of you to keep me in BEER !!!!!! I'm game. Save your money !!!! SAM

Thread drift........ Does the shell plate in the xl650 case feeder work on the 1050 casefeeder? Thanks SAM

SPC White, Do they even get College football in Korea ????? HOP

D@mn 3QT That pose would keep a Grizzly bear honest!!!! Good luck with the guys and your two pretty daughters.....wouldn't want to be in your shoes for a little while. Back on the subject....... Season maker or breaker this weekend........ Tennessee vs. Florida I think at Florida. Man I really do think it sucks that our good SEC teams all have to knock each other out of the National Championship race. GO......South Eastern Conference !!!!!!! Except whoever is playing the VOLS !!!!! Hopalong

MCB, I have in the past used just my Para for both. I came up on a good deal on a Kimber Custom Elite and now use it some. I still shoot Limited with a fat gun, but since I have been concentrating on Revolver for the last 2 years, those have been holding the safe down. Recently I decided to raise my L-10 scores to at least get them into the classification USPSA has me in.....So I now shoot an extra classifier with the Revo after the match run for L-10 division. Make sense? When I go back to Autos, the new Benny Blaster will be the L gun and the Kimber will be the L-10 gun......Don't know about the SS division test thing....can only do so much. HOP

You just had to remind me of that.... But see what I'm talking about on the NO shoots !!!!! HOP

Dave, I'm tryinnnnnnnn....... But man it is just like at the TN section...... Good time, good hits.....but them D@mn no shoots keep getting in the way. SO close....Yet So Far!!!!! Take for instance this last weekend. WE shot 6 chickens....had 10A,2C and 2NS both just enough to get the line. Had that "awsome torque" Randy keeps talking about not been there I would have been farther into the No shoots!!! back to original programming..... That 6 chickens run would have been 105% acording to the OHIO classifier. Now you know what I'm screaming..... HOP And another thing.....Our club had a special classifier match.....was wanting to raise my L-10 scores up so shoot the wheel gun in L-10...... One of the stages is Bang and Clang.......shot it in 2.60 clean which turns out to be a 94% L-10 score but a 100% revo score.....who would have "thunkit"? Latter or sooner....it don't really matter I guess

Well seems like the elusive "M" card is still that. (I told you Carmoney) I missed a 100% on 6 chickens last weekend by 3/8 of an inch..... Young Master Walsh has moved up the rankings now to 2nd highest master. Carmoney gained a little too !!!! D. Carden and I just barely made improvements but maybe one day we can get in there with Cliff. Maybe next month...... Hope everyone is doing good out there,Get out and run them guns. HOP Lets Hear it.....Who else moved up, changed Classes Ect. Edited to add..... Looks like Tom went up a little, and Keith moved up a few spots on the TOP 20 list.

I stayed away from the other thread as I did not have a dog in that hunt !!!! I am now over a thousand posts, and have had no problems from the Mod team. There are some who push the envelope and there always will....... That is the reason for MODERATORS !!!!!!!! Which do a great job on this forum. I whole heartedly agree with ima45dvc8......"I came for the shooting, I stayed for the people" Thanks Brian and all the other hard working MODS...... Some of which I have luckily got to meet and now can call "Friend" Hopalong / SAM KEEN

Ah..Hem... Mr. Carmoney....... Pictures please......... I don't have a convenient issue just laying around right now. I know you like that posting picture stuff......Here is another good reason. Hop

OOPS.....Double post !!!!! HOP

Ok haven't heard from any one..... Waltermitty......If Mike L. can go I know you can. Same for Firewalker, IDPA nationals will be long gone....you can learn and then forget some of them "IPSC bad habits" Bubber ???? Lefty45??? RobomanUSA???? Keith ????? Airedale????? KANTUK aint very far.......What about the "Mafia"? I know a member or two of them have wheelies?????? How about DaBlaster????? I know he has one..... I kinda sorta tricked it out for him, He shot it at the Illinois match last year.....someone put a bug in his ear. Come on.....Mike and Dan need all the distractions they can get !!!! HOP

SSSHHHHHH...... MIKE, don't say that too loud..... If Cliff hears it there won't be any BUDWEISER left for the other shooters !!!! I did contact Mr. Treen, he is shooting an OPEN blaster and concentrating on it. I expect Jess to be there, a very dangerous guy....He shoots minor and that IMHO hurts him just a little. He shoots as well as I do and can really make the 625 go, If he has a good day he can beat any of us.....don't know about Jerry though. I understand Mike Lutterell from Arkansas has been talked into going (this is the guy who dropped 7 points for the match at the Old Fort "Revolver" match.) another good wheel gunner to look out for. Would be good to see Bubber and Waltermitty show up, that is not too far away from them. How about all the guys from the Ohio Revolver Championship ????? So how about it? Mike and Dan need some good COMP.... I know ya'll are up for it. I'm going to do like a friend of mine said today......... "I'll stay on the porch and bark a while!!!" HOPALONG
