Fabulous !!!! Get Warren and some of the others over there in Kansas to come with you. !!! Hop

You might want to swap to 35, not often do you get to shoot with a WORLD Champion. Hop

What day ? Saturday Oct 31 (If it changes from the original format) How many ? (I'm hoping for 100+, kinda doubt we'll get that many though) Squadding up on the USPSA website, I have a couple others not listed yet. Link to match: http://www.memphis-ssa.com/mcc/mcc.htm Come on down David (yes you can put the STI down for a little while) Hop

Not much talk here. With 251 entries in the match (Compared to last year) this is HUGE !!!! I know more than 7 or 8 BE'rs are going. HOP

Now THAT is what I'm talking about !!!! A NOT normally revolver shooter coming to get some !!! NOW the rest of you go out and recruit some more like TONY. Hop

2 from Tennessee 2 from Mississippi coming to play entries on the way Hopalong

Gary, I'll shoot Friday AM, and SCOOT. Flying back out of Albany, plane leaves at 7:15. Need to be there by 4:30 for check in ect. (you know, NY with a gun) I just hope Travis and Lee can keep up with me ! IF you get there in time, I'll make sure we get to chat. BONES, It'll be fun, no matter what. Hop

Wade, entry fee back at the match. Hop

Be pretty good arc to hit them from here. Hop

With 12 shooters in the revolver division, likely to one of the bigger revolver matches in A-7 history. Looking forward to it myself, supposed to be pretty country in upstate NY................we'll see, hard to beat the Tennessee country side. Hop

Gary Stevens is the range master, we talked yesterday for a little while. We may be going to a one day only match, with ROs shooting in the squads (less cost of match administration that way) (and more to donate to St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital) Depending on the number of entries recieved between now and the 1st of September. Until then we're going on the scheduled events. May have a side match, working on the details of that. Hop

Stew, Prayers sent up. To help your outlook. My sister was in a wreck, had brain injury. Stayed in a non medical induced coma for 23 days. 8 years later, unless you knew her before the wreck you wouldn't know she was in one. God has a job for your neice still. HOP

Early Bird drawing winner.................................................................................... ........................... Wade Umphress !!! Congrats Wade, who was truely the early bird this time as he was the first entry to me. Just goes to show, get your entries in early. Hop

sign up for the Memphis Charity Challenge (revo match) and you'll be in a BIG revolver match. I won't be able to attend Ohio this year, Sorry. Hop

Maybe, we'll see what I can do. Hop

LeRoy, Glad to hear from you, how's things up there ? I actually have a Polish plate rack on order, to be used in the MS 3-gun and the Memphis Charity Challenge !!! No TX star (This year) gotta save something for later. Hope some of you "Westerners" can make it over. Looking to make A-1 again next year if things line up, had a great time with you guys. Hop

yeah, Corey was handicapped with his 8 round smooth shooting 40 cal singlestack. NOT !!! Here is a new suggestion. let's all go to a same match with a different gun each match and see who ends up on top of the pile then ???? Starting with the Dickson TN monthly match. We'll all shoot REVOLVER there. Then we'll do a match somewhere in KY shooting L-10 Then we'll do a match somewhere in TN shooting Prod. Then we'll do a match somewhere in KY shooting SSTK Then we'll do a match somewhere in TN shooting LTD And finally we'll do a match somewhere in KY shooting OPEN Kind of a traveling "King of the Hill" match ????? any takers ???? Back on topic, the stages were pretty much uspsa legal stages round count wise which takes us back to the 8 rounds major or 10 rounds minor debate. One that has been answered pretty much at the SSTK nationals with 8 rounds MAJOR being KING !!!! Unfortunately we had to shoot and scoot at Oak Ridge, I would have liked to go back through it with a SSTK and compare results Hop

As of now, the majority of the shooters signed up are from Georgia !!! For those of you NOT from Bullpup country, you'd better man up and send in your entries. Sure do not like it when the bullpuppies win in football...........I KNOW I WON'T LIKE IT IF ANYTHING GOES TO GA from the match !!!! Hop

Just in case anyone is wondering about the rules for the match............. Here you go: http://www.fb3g.com/3GRules.pdf Hop

Bill, Yes, I do have a dog house for you to use. It will be a long drive to nashville every morning though !! Hope to have hotel information by Aug 1. Hop

Take a look again. (Listed as Memphis Charity Challenge) It is/will be a level II, just need to get NROI to approve the stages (have been submitted to those who need them). 10 stages, 218 minimum shots. (Please bring more, I have one all steel stage) Hop

Stages look good. It sure would be fun to come up there and wail on you Kentucky boys, but I have to be at the TN sectional the same weekend (Lucky for you guys) Have fun with it. Hop
