With testing and some addition, subtraction, multiplication and division I came up with 22 inches high at 200yds is 0 at 500 yds. Sure hope those targets are painted a good different color than the background, as my 4x sure doesn't bring things close at much past 250 yds. Am glad they shoot well though. Hop

and another curve in the road on that "Trip" to the top of the Mountain. We'll get to see what is around the next curve. Hopefully. It's plain to see you are now enjoying the "Trip" Hop

Despite the dreary conditions, a great rifle match. Good to see some I haven't seen in a while. See ya'll next time(maybe) Hop

Well deserved. Couldn't have happened to a better guy. Congrats. Hop

I find them a bunch of Jercks !!! Hop Oh, well maybe a few of them are OK......

Steve, They don't allow me in Kentucky with a gun more than 2 times a year. Giving the deer a hard time this weekend, sorry maybe next time though (with a little more lead time) Oh, and it is 5 hrs for me to Silvercreek range. Hop

This is FUN stuff "aint" it ??? Hop BTW, Cold here (18) and that is cold for us in Jan. Saw 3 bucks, only 1 close enough for the 45 colt Ruger and it would be the SPIKE !!!! We'll try again this afternoon.

Corey, Are you trying to be funny ???? Hop

Way to go MR. Penrod !!!! Hopalong

Update on the 77grn LC-LR (The real stuff) In MY Sabre Defence 18 inch it averaged 2653 MPH !!! At 200 yds with my 1x4 Leupold set at 4 and very good sandbags ect. I got a 1 1/2+ (but not quite 1 3/4) 5 shot group At 100 yds it shoots half an inch lower than my 55 grn stuff. At 200 it is pretty much the same point of impact as my 55 grn stuff. That is all I got to test today. Will do more before the big show at Benning. Hopalong Edit to add the 1 3/4 thing

I'll call your 627 and raise you a STI "USPSA" single stack. Till then, get to that 625, you're now behind ! Hop

I will attempt to redeem myself from my poor perfomance this fall. Until then........................ IF it doesn't have a metal frame........................................ It's still just a TOY !!!! Hop Steel1212 and Want2race....................... You guys go ahead and quit sandbagging and get up here where your competition is !!!

$1.85 in Ecru MS. Hop

Can't give the details as it is still under investigation..... Long story short. they got my rifles out of my Truck Sunday PM (7:00 ish) Monday PM the sherriff 4 counties down next to the closest Larger city has the guns, and some names to check into. I will say that they were gotten by most likely Druggies. Since they were sold for $100.00 each Next step, find them and toss their dumb punk AZZes in jail !!!!! Hop Oh, and here is some of the stuff I did. Sunday PM. Call local PD to scene. Give report. Call Local Sherriff and tell him. Call friend down in this same larger city to call his local PD and sherriff Call Local State trooper friend to be on lookout and have his partners BOLO Monday AM. Call local funstore and have them call their buddies to BOLO Monday PM. Call friend at Home and give TN troopers a call. (most of our stolen stuff goes NORTH) Tuesday AM. Get call from friend in larger city, and from local PD (within 5 minutes) that they have my rifles, and are looking for dumb AZZ thieves Some will say I'm lucky..................Maybe, I'll say blessed by God. Hopalong

Depends, on and off rain before a cold front. YEP Steady rain before a cold front. NOT normally. PM me and we'll talk about it. I saw 10 this morning. One nice buck but he was a little too far for a bow shot. Edit here (Oh, and it was raining lightly off and on) Hop

Rich, I think we'll just stop and test them on the way down. Should not be a problem finding a harvested soybean field. Looking forward to seeing everyone. Hop

INcoming news tomorrow. Hop

Went to the range and shot the monthly pistol match with a couple of side rifle stages. After the match went to the same resturant I've been going to for years. Put the guns down out of the way but some one wanted the AR and the M1a more than I do. Now I have a busted out window, and two missing long guns. NO camera at the resturant. Parked up front, in the lights and everything, just no window to watch from. Will call the local gunstore in the AM to tell him to call all his buddies. Police said "maybe if we're lucky" Still have the Benny Hill Ltd gun (next to the rifles in another bag) and all the other stuff though so it could have been worse. (looking for silver lining here) Hop Edit to add: If in the future you see a Sabre Defence AR competition master with a Leupold 1x4 and a Benny hill comp or a M1a scout squad with a collapsable synthetic stock and a short muzzle break at one of the many stores you frequent that take in "pawns" look closer and have them run the numbers on the computer for stolen guns. Thanks

Matt, You owe me $$$$ for using my propriatary finish. I had that finish on my 25-2 for 2 years now so I'm kicking your ARSE unless you pony up. Hop

I did a little math (in my head so it's likely off a little) for the matches listed on USPSA website this year vs last year. 2008 total number of shooters in Revo division ....................... 243 2007 total number of shooters in Revo division ........................193 That is 50 more this year than last. !!! Even though there were 10 LESS in 2008 at Nationals (Likely what USPSA will look at) than last (the best yet) overall there was some growth. Not bad, I'd be willing to bet that is the most yet (in a year) but there is still work to do. Oh and that is for a combined 25 matches, for an average of almost 10 per match. Hop
