Bryan, IF you were at the match they were 1 for a dollar, or 20 for ten dollars !!!! Since you went to Vegas instead they are $10 each or 5 for $40 until they are all sold (less than 50 left) Hop

Multi gun, but revolver division is the only division recognized for a trip to the prize table. Link: http://www.memphis-ssa.com/mcc/mcc.htm Hop

more than likely We'll be there....... Now, the big question. Production, or Single Stack............... which one do you want me to wax your A$$ with Corey ??? Hop

Matt, See if you can get Julie to make the trip too !!! Hop

Thanks everybody for coming. I got home Sunday PM about 7:00 took a shower and hit the sack about 9:00 and slept until 9:30 Monday AM (and I'm an early riser). I hope all had fun and enjoyed our "Little-Big" Match. I apologize for no chow on Sunday, thinking most would just catch early dinner, late lunch ect. on the way home. I would like to thank Nathan and Heidi for letting us use their range getting you ready for Ft. Benning. Many of you must not have looked at the rules and stayed confused over scoring and other stuff that is pretty much Ft. Benning only. (READ AND UNDERSTAND THE RULES NEXT TIME) I also would like to thank all the range staff for their hard work, I know you earned your pay this weekend. I'd like to elaborate on just a few things. Teirini was refunded her match money because Shooters Connection was not able to use thier slot and requested it go to a Junior. Katie was refunded her match money because Springfield Armory did the same. The two of them did not know this and are not permanently sponsored by Sprinfield or Shooters Connection. A question was asked about why no gun on the Tac-Irons table. We had a gun for every table until Heavy Metal did not make the required 20 to keep the M1A on it. When that happened the M1a was randomly given to someone in the entire match. The pistol that was meant to go to the Tac-Irons table then went to HM because it was the 2nd largest division. IF HM would have had the 20 every division would have had a firearm. So blame it on the HM shooters for not calling up all thier buddies and getting more participation. The top prize on Tac-Irons was actually worth more than what the firearm designated to go there was. just for what it's worth. Now to put together the Memphis Charity Challenge in 3 weeks ! Hopalong

Hilly terrain, easy walking except down to the lake on stage 8. (I recomend just taking your rifle and loaded mags to that stage) Sight in range 50 meters. If you want to do closer we have a 35 yd pistol practice bay to set up in. HOP Looking good, lots of little things to cover.

Wow, those look almost as good on Paper as they do on the ground. Hop

I've been at the range getting it ready for you fine people to make noise at. A question was asked about using higher capacity magazines and downloading them in HM. At the 2008 match I did just that with the .45 sstk I shot so the answer is yes (for Pistol)(and the rules state" no magzine over 20 rounds for rifle), but don't get caught with over the limit you'll go to tac irons. We're looking good, got kinda hot this afternoon in the sun, might have to put out some tents and stuff. All stages but 1 and 2 are buttoned up. I expect to get them tomorrow (and maybe even a little trigger time too) See all you on Friday, Saturday AM. Hop

Slings OK, but not needed. HOP

Shooters Meeting 0730. EVERYONE PLEASE ATTEND. First shot: 0800 Everyone Please attend (that are in the match) HOP Oh yeah, Stages 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 are on the ground with minor finish work to be done. Stages 1 and 2 sitting there waiting on set-up. Thank to all who have helped.

Corey, Thanks to Smitty I have 1 stage for you. NOTICE the time spent on the steel. HOP http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=106249&view=findpost&p=1299978

A big thanks to all the SPONSORS !!!!!! Without them, the match would not be near the QUALITY as it is. Is anybody besides Trugent2004 sending me ammo ??? (Lee your's is here) HOPALONG

WOW, I didn't know I could get around like that !!! Thanks for the complement Smitty, coming from you that really means a whole bunch. OUR squad kicked butt !!! If you wanted to paste or set steel you had to RUN to do so. Great shooting and Great People, couldn't of had a better weekend, that's for sure. HOP

By the way, we'll have a place to "Check Zero" on Friday After 2:00 HOP

Prayers for all. Hop

Corey, Good to see you again. I finally got to "just shoot" a TN sectional match instead of working and shooting. Looking at the video, you need a little more "visual patience". that's all. Everything else looks good. (Steel does that to people who don't shoot it much) SO go find you an all steel match of some sort. Good fight between you and John, SSTK and Production was the tightest divisions. HOP

I got a buddy looking to replace his SX2 stock and forearm. Any body know where to find a set ? Hop

Yeah Pat, K.C. Escubio won OPEN Shannon Smith won Limited Sam Keen won Production John Hill won Single Stack Nobody shot in L-10 and Revolver. Hop Now in about 5 weeks they'll post the Gator Classic SCORES !!!!

TechWear is now onboard as a sponsor. They are printing staff shirts and sending shirts for the prize table. At the match in November IF you like the staff shirts we'll get a big order up and let Sue print them up. Price will be anounced then. HOP Oh, Springfield Armory is on board as well. Thanks to them. Hop

Any one needing to ship ammo. send it to me at Sam Keen 601 pinecrest Corinth MS 38834 Hop

Round Count 65 Rifle 80 Pistol 65 Shot 15 Slugs IF you only shoot once( or twice on paper ) at each steel or paper as required. HOP

Cool, Looking good in the neighborhood !!!! No, really looking good. Have 4 of the stages roughed in already, will shoot the TN state pistol match this weekend. Have next week off to build and polish the rest so we'll actually be a week ahead on the "rush". Looking at the longest shot today. about 270 yds (just guessing). HOP

only if you shoot the match 10 times !!!! Hop

Good gooing todd, NOw about that revolver classification.................................... Hop

Chris, I'll talk to Brad, He's in charge of the Self Squadding. (I think) Hop
