Your numbers seem to indicate that rimfire is gaining by leaps and bounds. Then maybe the rimfire revolvers would have a good showing as well. Bottom line for me is in my area (New England) there appears to be a lot of competitors shooting revolver, like myself and I believe the new division should be created as a provisional one and lets see what happens. Going strictly by the numbers, single stack should have been eliminated a long time ago, which I do not condone by the way, nor do I shoot one, but I feel those who do shoot them, should be able to. Again, just my opinion.

Do you think that maybe, if there were separate rimfire revolver classes available that more shooters who have revolvers would shoot them?

Oh. Didn't put 2+2 together. I buy often from Revolver Supply. George is a friend from back in the days when he was in Connecticut. I have 6 loaders from him so I guess they are your design. Great product. Thanks, Manny.

Thanks for that information. Quite interesting. Do you have a website for your products? Please advise.

I'd check with Magill Productions. He seems to have a lot of the old shooting discipline DVD's on his website. Good luck.

6 of us are going to the ICORE Championship in Louisiana in September. A trip to a big meet in Area 4 may just be next. I'll keep you posted on that. By the way, your input is greatly appreciated on this matter. Thanks. Manny.

From January 1 thru June 30, 2021 there was a total of 557 ISR and 459 OSR shooters. While I understand that that is a low percentage of total shooters, the lowest (1%) was actually PCC Irons. 342 participants. Now, based on your theory (numbers) then PCCI should go before the Revolvers, wouldn't you agree?. If everything is based on popularity, half of the existing classes should go. Again and for the last time, let them shoot in their own division. If there aren't enough shooters then put them with the autos, for that match.

I have the statistics you are referring to from Jake Marteens. It shows in writing that from January 1 to June 30, 2021 there have been over 5000 competitors in the RFPO and 2000 in the RFPI divisions and when I asked him directly how many were revolver shooters, he could not give me the answer. I would be really interested in knowing what that number is. Again, giving the rimfire revolver shooters a division to shoot in is only a matter of an hour of computer time and a provisional time period to see what happens. Just trying to get a fair shake. The carry optic guys wouldn't want to be lumped in with the open guns anymore than the PCC guys want to be up against the RFR guys, yet you say the revolver and the autos should compete as one. We disagree and are asking for a change.

I'm kind of shocked at your position on this matter. If a guy steps up to the line to shoot a Stage, it shouldn't matter what's in his hands, only that he's there to participate. Based on your reasoning the league should go down to six divisions ( auto, revolver, rifle ) each in CF and RF. I guess that would make your life alot easier. Also, to answer your question, yes, I do travel alot to shoot and I ask a lot of shooters their opinion on this subject. As you can see, the response is mostly favorable. (Actually, you are the only one that seems to oppose it) an opinion you are entitled to. I'll keep my revolvers out of Area 4 in the future though.

We shoot SC (all 8 stages) once a month at my club. I average 60 guns. Usually, 14 to 18 are revolver shooters. (Other clubs in our area (RI/CT) shoot SC as but 4 to 6 stages averaging 30 to 40 shooters). We started asking around, to see if there was any interest in revolver shooters competing against each other in the rimfire classes and the response was overwhelming. That's what started the post on this forum. I don't think it's a matter of how, I think it's a matter of build it and they will come. Based on the responses to this and the other forums we asked, it may be time to try it out.

All of the revolver shooters I talk to in my area care less about trophies and more about competing against each other in their own division.

Picked up a Marlin 45 Camp Rifle recently in great shape. Changed out the old buffer, spring and scope rail with Power Custom Parts and it runs like a champ. I'm looking to put this rifle to work in the Steel Challenge Matches. Anyone know where I can get a good competition stock for this rifle. Looking for something with an adjustable cheek piece or a high one at the least. Please advise. Manny.

The basic idea is to separate the revolvers from the autos. While I think having two classes would be ideal, again, having the revolvers in a class of their own is what this is about. I know a lot of shooters who are faster with irons than optics.

Yes. I'm in TY65344 Great Idea.

Upright, especially on the rifle. Use the American Defense Manufacturing quick mount with it and you have the best setup.

4.5 with optics works best for most, but I see more people going to the 6" with irons.

Most people are going to the Nelson .22 conversion for the 1911. Great product.

Volquartsen

38 Super is allowed in Steel Challenge matches. We shoot it in our revolvers all the time.

Correct. Unless you are a Female, Junior or at least 60 years old, you are classified with the rest of the pack.

Most PCC shooters I've talked to said they developed loads that reliably work the action and are somewhat accurate.

I have three rifles set up for steel plate shooting. All of them have a C More Railway red dot with a 12moa dot .

Yes. I had Kidd make me one of his Super Grade .22 rifles using that stock. It's pre drilled for his removable barrel system and it works well in Steel Challenge.

Volquartsen makes all the pieces you'll need to build your RFRI project.

RTS2 C More ( 6'8'or10moa) LT WT stock from Kahr used on their switchbolt gun and a trigger from Kidd at 1.5 lbs. Any barrel that swings well is good enough.
