You may want to try this....
Get on the Springfield website, get one of the forward mount scope mounts that are now available and the heat sheild for the Scout/Squad rifle and put your Acog on it.
I have a Scout/Squad and an Aimpoint on it, the cheek weld is the same as shooting Iron sights.
GOOD LUCK M1A's RULE !!!!!

I have been using a P-16 for 4 years now, get some of the Grams engineering and forget everything else.
PS if you want real hi-cap get some Dawson Precision + bases (21) in the mag and 1 in the gun for the 18-20 round stages.
Good Luck.

STRYFOX
I use a 650 for my .40 S&W and use the dillion carbide dies, they work great as they are but if you get you some hornady one shot case lube and put just a little on your cases the lube smoothes out the rythem and you can feal the machine running just that much better.
It only takes a little

Before I broke Mine, I could keep a 3" group off hand at 25 yards.
never did put it on sandbags or ransom rest. It SHOT better than ME.

Hi guys, and gals!!!
Thanks for all the kind words, I have relayed the words to the real guys and gals who made the match run.
At the time of door prizes and match winners I did not have the High law, military, sr, and ssr. so here they are.
Tactical:
High Law - Erik Lund
High Sr. - Benny Hill
High Military-Greg Wilson
Limited:
High Military - Travis Tomasie
High Sr - Greg McDade
Open:
High Law - Max Davidson
High Sr. - Malcome Davis
High Super Sr. - John Wedig
congrats to those guys and all else who showed up and shot, in my eyes all were winners. The Red Cross told us that this was their second biggest fund raiser they have had, the other is a silent auction with all the businesses in Corinth donating one item.
Thanks Again, and all take care.

I'm with you on the stage 11 Lynn.
This is my second year at A-4 the stages and range officers are always top notch and hats off to the CRO and RO staff.
I will not be attending another A-4 match for the format was not very thought out,
don't start shooting at 9:30 in the morning shoot two stages max, send the squads to lunch and then try to get 3 or 4 stages shot in the heat of the day, maybe on Friday to allow drive in shooters the time to get there but not Saturday when everyone shooting is in town, start earlier and make sure you don't have to shoot but 2 stages max on Sunday to let the shooters get home at a decent time (1:00AM for me this year).
For those who shot on squad 14 with me, I enjoyed meeting you and shooting with ya'll I am sorry about the 2 DQ's we had in our squad I personally don't like having stages that make the ROs have to work that much harder due to circumstances like that. ( another reason )
To the staff and stats, great job!!!!!!
To the planners, the half day format a few years back was great maybe try that again and a few more squads instead of bigger squads.
I know that you can not please everybody and some one always has it a little tougher than the next so good luck next year but my entry fee and the other 800 dollars this match cost me to attend will stay home.

Shooter Grrl, You are NOT Stoopid, Just a little delerious from the heat
John, Thanks for the Kind words but the real deal is I put it on the ground with some help, then you guys make it work, and ya'll did a Jam up job.
Chad, ( one of the stage designers) see the above to John.
Benny, Thanks for the kind words, I know we have room for improvement and as of now we intend to try this thing again. I will keep you updated on the Comps, many thanks.

Tom, Wouldn't you know?

Thanks Denise,and Arnie Maybe it will work out that way

I know Area 3 and 5 are a little way off but what the heck?
Whom of us are going to Area 3 (Columbia MO)?
Area 4 (Shreveport LA)?
Area 5 (Kentucky Indiana Border)?
What about a revolver squad at them, I know A-4 is likely to late for that?
I am intending on making them and have sent A-4 money and will try very hard to make the other two. Area 3 because it is about 6 hrs and area 5 because it is right before the Nationals.
Hope to see ya'll there

Thanks Cliff,
I am the match director for the Mississippi 3gun held next weekend so ya'll will likely not hear from me too soon, After that is A-4 where I plan to have my B$#T
cleaned and handed back to me in a bag by Jerry M. but it will be fun, I shot it limited last year and had a ball, this year will be the REVO.
Keep the suggestions Coming, I would like to get this thing into a good anual match that even the bottom feeder shooters would like to lay their guns down and come shoot with us.(high hopes?)
Cliff you going to A-4? I did not get to meet you at AL last March.
See ya'll somewhere, shoot straight, and reload FAST

Shot this again today with the Limited gun results as follows:
time: 6.98
57 points
HF 831661
I am right handed.
at the buzzer turn to the left,on the right target get a good sight picture on the first target and just index through them and let the shot go when the front sight falls back down on the next target, reload and go left to right same as the first time with the sight picture.
the reason I go left is the gun is always following your body now going away from it.
This run will not go to USPSA but what would the % be?
-
Shot this Sunday at our match
revolver B
8.23 55 points 6.6828 HF What would that be as far as what will go down at USPSA?
Shot this again today
7.83 54 points 6.8965 HF bad reload 2.79 seconds (should be closer to 2.00)

Update as of now we have:
Open - 11
Limited - 6
Tactical - 17
We have Plenty of room for more shooters, drag someone with you kicking, and screaming it doesn't matter. as of right now everyone has a 1 in 10 chance of getting their name pulled for a gun
If anyone has problems with a hotel room please let me know, or mention Nathan Hendrix along with 3-gun block or Crssa block. Comfort Inn 662-287-4421
this thing is going to cause me to pull all my hair out
I still have not heard from Jeff Cramblit, can anyone drop him a line? He e-mailed me back in March and said he intended to make it.

If we do this and have an IDPA portion of the match yes we will shoot more stages,I myself and everyone else I know do not like going to a match and not getting their "Monies worth" of bullets down range.
Keep the input coming, I mentioned it to several of the guys in the club today and they were interested, one of them shoots only OPEN BLASTERS but said if it was revo. only he would get in on it.
I am shooting at A-4 in 5 weeks during some of the down time I will get with Jerry and get his input on this
Thanks guys

O. FISH AL Redneck
Yes Spring 2005 so we can be on the "first match of the year" list? what ya'll think
and If he's the guy who shot with my boss, Stan Wigginton years back his name is Mike Plaxico.
different disciplines of shooting will go by their rules but will be open to non members who would like to give it a try. example:
Sharpshooter in IDPA can shoot in the USPSA match but unless he is a member and is classified he Could shoot the USPSA match as Unclassified and vise/versa ect.
Back to Spring of 2005 if we decide to do this thing that will give us time to advertise the match and maybe get a good turnout.
Anybody Know how many make it to the IRC each year?

The reason I sugested USPSA and IDPA is here in South Tennessee, North Mississippi, we don't see any ICORE at all, the club in Anniston AL was shooting it but no longer do. There for just because of familiarity I sugested them.
Phara
There would be 2 divisions in USPSA limited and Open
limited would go down as the revolver rules are written now.
Open would be Shoot what you Bring as long as it has a Cylinder.
I can not tell you about ICORE because all I know about it is Jerry has won all the IRC.
The IDPA part if we have it would be speed loaders in one division and moon clips in the other.
Bubber
Corinth, Mississippi is 12 miles from our range. I might could talk our buddies in Memphis to let us shoot there instead(about 2 hours for us to their range) but that would cost us Range Fees where there would be none at our own range
Bill
As for PPC and Bianchi, we have no experiance with any of that so we would be "shooting in the dark".
If anyone is Familiar with the other disiplines and if we do this thing they might be the Match Director for that disipline
Spring time would be a good time for as the summer gets longer more matches are avaliable to us. and it would give all those who are cooped up and are ready to shoot a good excuse.
More Comments and suggestions PLEASE.
SAM KEEN
Oh yeah, one quick shot in the arm. The Mississippi 3 gun is not full www.crssa.com

Alright, I can tell from all the hits of poeple looking at this thread that there is some interest out there.
Come on and give your "two cents" worth It doesn't have to be IDPA/USPSA
ya'll jump in here and give me some opinions and ideas and we'll we if we can come up with a workable solution.
We don't have to hold it at our range but I was volunteering it.

I watched SG shoot her run on it, when she got to the last PP and threw the 2nd shot at it she started giggling and could not stop for a good two minutes.
Oh yeah we had a blast too.
I started left pp came in reload right pp came in:
8.56 52 points 6.0748 HF REVOLVER
could someone tell me how it stacks up?
BTW she also picked up her shooting a notch and looked very good doing it, now just to polish and ya'll will be telling her not to show up with an open gun in B class

Gillster,
It would be a match where if you wanted to shoot ONLY USPSA or ONLY IDPA that would be possible, or if you wanted to shoot both that would be possible too.
IDPA will not sanction a match that does not recognize all 4 divisions so the IDPA part would be run by those rules but not count towards the Nationals.
there would be a IDPA Champion, a USPSA champion and A Combined Champion.
the easyest way to do the combined would be add the number where place in each match and come up with a total, the lowest number is combined Champion.
example:
Bill Nesbit is 3rd IDPA and 8th USPSA his number would be 11 and then just compare numbers for the Combined.
This would be a good way for all revolver shooters to get together and not only compete but watch the others and maybe get some of the other "crowd" to swap over .
At the time this is just a glimmer in the eye, without much feedback it will die on the stem.

On the way to the range today a friend of mine and I were going over a bunch of subjects and the "no Competition" thing came up again.
I came up with the Idea of a 2 day match for revolvers only, 1 day would go to the IDPA rules and 1 day to the USPSA rules.
Match fees maybe 50 bucks for each or both for 75 and have decent prize table? or prize money back for USPSA, IDPA will not go for that.
Our Range is in North Mississippi in the north east corner 20 mile from Al and 6 mile from TN.
we can do 6 stages each day maybe 7 or 8 for the idpa part due to the 18 round limit per stage.
Mr. Jerry M. you know the guy who shoots the round gun like its a bottom feeder
is only 6-7 hours away from us and I'm sure he'd come if we make sure he knew about it in plenty of time
If there is enough feedback and we can get at least 30 shooters each day we might give this a run
If we decide to try this we would need all your help in getting the word out further than just this forum.

How About Some Competition
in Revolver Forum
Posted
HDGUN: welcome to the forums
You know every one is talking about no competition, there is an On-Line match on this forum and where are ya'll?
I know we can't all set up the stages as some of us don't have access to all the props and gear that may be required but surely some of ya'll can.
Area -4 this year did not have but 5 revolver shooters, Jerry M was planning on shooting but had to go out of town that weekend so was not there.
IMHO if a person wants to see how well he/she is doing why not try and shoot with the best that is available (Jerry M.) to see how they are doing?
Cliff Walsh, Richard Timberlake ( I think) and Myself are going to A-3, and have asked Arnie to squad revolvers together, ya'll come on over and let's all have a big time in MO.
Cliff spanked me pretty good in Al last march and I thought I had a decent match except for two stages so I am looking forward to actually shooting with him and learning some of the "tricks of the trade"
Don't give up on the revolver, it tamed this land and will always be a classic.
