See POST below !!! Hop

Steel, You forgot the MS state match in May. (I actually know several of the Masters that will be shooting SINGLE STACK there) Hop

Just sell me the 657 and you won't have that problem anymore !!!! (It'll feel right at home with mine) Hop

LeRoy, I'll break out my 625 this weekend JUST FOR YOU !!!!!! Hop

Bill, Keep posting all those 100% and I'll have a talk with a certain few who can move you right up !!! Hop

Have FUN, and good luck !!! Hop

Tom, Do that (Open) and it'll take away some of the folk that would shoot "revolver", know what I mean ???? Besides, the poll numbers speak for themselves, most of us (BE members) want a USPSA match with Revos only. Hop Edit to add: The Mississippi Classic is the weekend of May 15th, it is traditionally the 2nd or 3rd largest attended by Revolvers in the US. You might want to consider that in your plans.

More impressive every time I see it. Hop

This will be a USPSA match. 10 stages at least. Working on getting this ball rolling. Hop

IF I didn't have to go somewhere tomorrow I'd come show you just what NOT to do !!!! Hop

Vote for ONE only !!!!! And, for the aid in voting...... You will be shooting in MEMPHIS, TN. Hopalong

IM BACK !!!!! Well let me say a thing or two.............. First of all, Thanks to all who voted and added input. When I was making the polls I came up with a kind of brain fart and "Boycott" was the only word I could come up with at the time. I in no means want anybody to actually BOYCOTT any shooting sport !!!!!!!!!!!!!! We now have enough trouble as it is. What I really meant was to have a seperate match away from the nationals to show the powers that be that there IS a good healthy revolver following and it should be promoted more than it is now.............that's all. From the looks of the poll, a large USPSA match is the most popular. I want to include our speed loading breathren that shoot IDPA somehow so with that also recognizing Overall speed loader shooter and 1st in each class would be looked at very heavily. Date: up for grabs, I'll make another poll and we'll go from there. I will tell you though, I'm also MD for the MS 3-gun this year and it is in October so fall is not high up on my list. This escapade is only going to work if you do your parts too. (remember the word WE ?????) Hopalong

Glad to have you back. Hop

Mr. Ball taking a break from MD ???? (well deserved too) Hop Oh, I guess I'll be there. IF you promise it'll be cooler than last year !!!

I have BOTH, aside from the initial "change over" I have no problems with either. It is just what you get used to, That's ALL. See my tag line about opinions now. Hop

Rock ON !!!!!!! You two ROCK !!!! Congrats to both of you. HOPALONG

October 10, 11, 2009 Cross Roads Sport Shooting Assn. Glen, MS Most likely "Horner/Ft. Benning" type scoring (good tune up for that little match in GA). As usuall, Staff shoots on Friday, ect. Nothing else set in stone but the date. and the Place. club website: www.crssa.com looking at 5 stages Saturday and 3 Sunday. Rifle shots out to 200+- but you'd better be accurate. More info, contact Me, Hopalong here http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?...=4&MID=3649 or my E-mail Sam@sbc3.com Hop

BTW, I'm headed out to Ft.Benning GA for that little 3-gun match they hold down there. Be back next week. Would like to see all kinds of "Heck yeah, What do you need me to do ?" Oh, and I have some of the BOD from USPSA checking in on this too. Hop

Carmoney, IF that was to happen (your suggestion) I would need some volunteers to start beating the bushes right now. You up for it ???? I have talked to a board member or two, and they also mentioned the SS classic idea. I have no qualms with it and all but would have to get that OK'd by USPSA. I really would not want them meddling with the match though and let us run it the way we see it needs to be run. My idea was to have the "Revolver Championship" and let those who want to go to the Limited/Production/Open nationals go ahead and spend that money too, but the real deal be this match. I intend to have it not conflict with any other "Major" match (Area/Nationals). More input from the peanut gallerey. I see several folk have looked, I just hope that they all voted and not sacasticly/to skew the results. Hop

Edit to add: Please vote for one type of match (choice 1 USPSA only, choice 2 USPSA/????, Choice 3, USPSA/ICORE/IDPA) OK time to put up or shut up !!!! NOTICE I said WE in the description ???? As most of us know, Revolvers are cosidered the "Redheaded Stepchild" of most of the shooting sports. I know the place to host a match capable of the number of stages mentioned and have ran it by the USPSA representative of that club. He said it's doable with lots of cooperation. I ran out of options for the poll, but would consider a USPSA/IDPA match. What I'm(and others) looking for is to have attendance that would tell USPSA and IDPA that even though we are a small percentage, we DESERVE more respect. !!!! How ???? Attend this match instead of attending the USPSA and IDPA Nationals. Basicly boycotting them (and not giving them the $$$$ they so much love to take). What would it take ???? Much help from all the "regular" wheelgunners, with recruiting semi wheelguners and the "fraidy cat" wheelgunners (Yes I went there) And the other typical help (stage design, set up, ect.). It is up to you guys to let me know. A few years back I offered to give a gun for high attendace at the USPSA nationals, I'm still trying but running out of patience. I've contacted some of the people to get this done, they seem to want to try. Hop

got Dope to 400 yds for 55 fmj Got Dope to 600 yds for 77 LC-LR !!! Now I just need to do my part . Hop

I like mine for the difference in the way the weight is distributed. Plus, on the first try, It ended up with the best action job yet. Besides, it has that "do you feel lucky, PUNK ?" look. Hop

My M1a Scout would be tactical Iron ?????? Hop

Ya'll didn't need to be practicing before Ft. Benning anyway !!!! Hop
