Headworked

Butch10 and others, Thanks for clarifying the fees, and I went and read about the foundation, and have a better understanding of whats going on... The stages and descriptions look fun, and Im all in for my first TFD 3gn match!! What is best hotel option? Next town?

Charles, Are the stage descriptions and squadding posted anywhere yet? Trying to plan Feb 23 Rock 3gun, Mar 1 SC 3GN, and Task Force Dagger matches with round counts, etc etc. Thanks, Trey

Ok... I've been reading about this match, and finally pulled the trigger and sent info in for sign-up... I shot FB3GN several years in a row, and heard this match was every bit as good, if not a touch better (more difficult)... So that leads me to my question... the $300 entry fee... is that per person? or teams? I was a little shocked, as I've been away for a few years, and match fees per person were $125-$145 back then.... just looking for some clarification. Thanks.

Jesse, They brought a couple of COR's to Buds, and they were shot next to TTI Gi gun and other very good GI guns, and COR shot softer, and flatter... The thing now is to see if they are durable and indestructible as the great DI guns... Reliability has always been an issue with piston guns

Bryan, This product is very 'cutting edge' as far as rails and hand guards go... it is a combination of aluminum and magnesium, and is 30-35% lighter than just billet aluminum itself... Looks like the rail and retaining nut weigh less than the competitions' rails alone... I'm not sure if Bravo Company is involved a lot in the 3 gun game, as they seem to cater more towards the professional operator side of the coin... For me, I love the innovation of bi-metal products, and welcome the product openly... Yes, it would be good to see them get involved and support our sport, and hopefully that will follow soon.

BCM is now listing the 13" model for sale, but no word on 15" yet... any updates?

I have a room reserved at the lodge, and am looking forward to my first match at the 'rock'... Will be trying out the M1 that just got a little tuning from Rose Action Sports... (thanks Steve!!)... Bruce, Christine, Dave, and company, look forward to hanging at the lodge sat night! good friends and good bourbon.. what else could a guy want? Trey

Corey, I just put one of these on my M1

thanks Hammar... anxiously awaiting it!!

Been reading some good info on these soon to be released handguards, that are supposed to weigh nearly nothing compared to conventional aluminum HG's... So far, info is only out regarding 10" and 13" models... Is there going to be a 15" or longer developed, and when are these supposed to hit the market?

Pics man... It didn't happen without pics

It would great to get something with the FOV, clarity, lightness, reticle as the Kahles k16i at about half the cost...but I don't believe it will happen... They've had two years to out-do it an haven't succeeded yet

A longer follower still requires a lip to retain it in the mag tube... RAZZ got a little carried away, and now there's not enough alum to hold the plug in... dont think a longer follower would make any difference

I guess we will just keep it to ourselves...!

So I read through all the which scope is better threads, an none of them mentioned the one i think is better than all the scopes mentioned: Kahles k16i. It is almost a pound lighter than Vortex, has some great reticle options, a very bright daylight visible illuminated dot, and every bit as clear glass as swarovski... Yeah, it's on the high side as far as cost, but it's getting my vote... I'm surprised to not see more folks talking about it

Razz, Send me some pics to trey.ahlgrim@hotmail.com. I may be able to fix it. Thanks Trey

Corey, I spoke with you last week regarding experienced staffing needs. I printed the Sign-up sheet, and am sending to Justin today or tomorrow, marked "staff" on it. Oh, and I REALLY need to come to the next BITB meeting if Umansky is catering!

Been a lurker on and off here for many years... Shot a lot in 05-07, then changed hobbies to become an offroad motorcycle racer... After many miles and crashes, and several surgeries, I am back to my first love of shooting. Look forward to finding my old friends on here, and catching up on all I missed!

Been away awhile, and came back to BGSL to one of the best matches I can remember shooting. Stages were well designed, and built to hold up well for 160 shooters...had a great time bringing up the rear of the C class, and will work harder to bring a better game next time...only saw one unsettling issue all weekend... An 'A' shooter pulled his last shot and acknowledged it verbally during unload show clear, however, it was last target to get scored.. One of his buddies threw tape on it after it was called a Mike, and A guy threw a fit for a reshoot... Other than that shameless act, all else went perfectly and I'm looking forward to next round of fun!
