You have helped me before as well, thank you!! My pleasure - hope you find what you're looking for.

I certainly don't hide the fact I'm sponsored by Vortex (see my shirt), but I'll also tell you that I spent my hard earned money on their gear long before they offered me sponsorship. I don't know if your post was directed toward me personally or toward sponsored shooters in general, but I'll chalk up your rather insulting comments to a simple difference of opinion. Enjoy your bacon.

I don't know of any other caddies similiar to the FSL8, but "Steve RA" has an FSL8 for sale in the classified section. If you haven't already done so, I'd recommend you take a look at the Carbon Arms Pinwheel or Chest Rig loading systems - for me they are faster and easier to use than the older FSL8s. Best of luck!

From a strictly financial standpoint, you can get the Kahles or you can get the Vortex and have $800 left over for ammo, match fees, or bacon. $800 will buy a LOT of bacon!

Correct answer is Vortex Razor 1-6.

Big thanks to Mark and team for hosting a great match! This was my first time shooting the Noveske MG, but it won't be the last - interesting stages, shooter-friendly ROs, and great squadmates made this a weekend to remember. I'll be tagging and thanking the sponsors via FB later today; their continued support is amazing.

Initially got started to save money. Reality is that I actually spend more money than before, but I shoot a HELL of a lot more than when I was buying factory ammo. Also cool to have the "fixings" for 50K rounds sitting on the shelf.

I think IDPA is fun for shooters who prefer to be told exactly how to shoot a stage rather than figure it out on their own. Plus, you wear cool vests. . .

Welcome! If you're looking for an evening match, Temple Gun Club hosts a Thursday night Steel Challenge match; it gets started at 6:00 PM. They are located a couple miles of I-35 just north of Temple; google is your friend for directions! Cost is a very reasonable $5 and we shoot 3 stages. Tons of other shooting opportunities in and around the area.

Is there a specific match hotel or can someone recommend one near the range?

I just signed up and had to enter a "ghost" character in the "Address #2" line to make the order go through. Have heard great things about this match and really looking forward to shooting it this year. See everyone in a couple months!

Seems the NRA's primary focus is sending 60 letters a year (to each member) asking for donations. No time to focus on something as inconsequential as an actual shooting competition. Only reason I'm a Life Member is they're the only game in town with the political clout to actually have an impact on the Hill.

Heck Yeah - made it off the Waitlist and into the match!! Thanks Miss Kitty - you Rock! Can't wait to see everyone at the range.

Great run-down on the new format. I really like the idea of only having to make one x Pro match instead of the multiple matches as in years past; much easier for the guys who have a day-job.

Where's the "love" button for Ms. Kitty's post??!! Sure hope it works out - maybe you can hook a brother up? You are the Stat's Queen, after all!! :bow:

Just signed up; wait-listed as REG # 244. Hopefully things will work out!

Good suggestion by an earlier poster to go shoot a 3-gun match.

Got my new Nordic springs and cut them 11" past the end of the extension and the shotgun's working like a charm now! Thanks to all for the great advice - seems like no matter how long I do this stuff (3-gun), there's always more to learn. ETA - figured out that what I thought was my "new" spring had actually been cut.

Had to download Firefox and switch browsers, but finally made it work.

Can't I just send in a written entry and my money? Or phone it in with credit card info? Please?? This on-line registration business is getting really old - it never seems to work as advertised and is always a pain in the ass. Have wasted the better part of an hour screwing around with this (first at 2000 and now again at 2100).

Did you do anything special to make it work, Mick?

Have tried twice and no luck in getting anything to happen after pressing the "Register" button.

Thanks Denise. Any idea if we really have to use the recommended browsers (Foxfire or Mozilla) for practice-score to sign up? I really don't want to have to switch my browser just to enter a match. Thanks for the clarification Spartan!

Anyone else seeing 58 minutes until registration opens?

Do we really need to install Firefox or Google Chrome to sign up? Got a pop-up and concerned that sign up won't work with my current browser.
