Where can we ship ammo to?

I have two of these barrels and they will both shoot 55's sub moa, and you can't beat the price. http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=550750

Ray Whitam Jr. (sp) won the overall Shoot Off

Make sure you didn't grab the small rifle primers by accident. I have.

He is a horse shoe man from Texas, Here is is website: http://www.flatlandforge.com/GunMain.htm

DMW, or Nordic. I have had some difficulty with the plastic (choate style) followers. They get chewed up and then bind in the tube. The All metal followers from DMW are the the way to go.

Have your scoring/stats system well rehearsed and efficient. Have a back up computer or three. No reason in this day and age to not have the match scored an hour after the last stage is shot. Don't change the scoring system in the middle of the match or screw up the scores. You can run a cheesy match and people will come back but if you screw up the scores you have committed the unpardonable sin. Keep the RO’ing consistent from stage to stage. Don’t make the stages overly complex. Don't put a 200 pound dummy on the stage that has to be moved from point A to point B, its too hard on the Juniors, Ladies, and Seniors. Keep water on the stages in hot weather. Try to have a vendor with food at the match. Be prepared for inclement weather. Make it a real 3Gun match, multiple guns on multiple stages!

Gesh, I had no idea. Missed him at the Handgunner this year. He was a awesome individual, so humble, kind and gentle. A perfect example for the rest of us. Truly, he was one of the best revolver steel shooters in the world. God belss him and his family.

Chet, if its any consolation your scores weren't the only ones messed up. Some of the minor rifle shooters (.223) were scored as major, giving them tremendously more match points. A simple check of the chrono results would easily show this! Isn’t that why we chrono? My experience is that you can put on a crappy match and still keep people happy, but if you screw up the scoring it seems to be an unpardonable sin. That’s why time-plus scoring is far superior to USPSA multi-gun scoring. Scoring aside, I thought it was a great match! The stages were fun and challenging, the R.O.'s were consistent and friendly. Even the Long Range was a hoot to shoot. It really separated the shooters who can call their long range shots and those who can't. Stage 12, "Stepping over Hurdles" was an excellent CQB stage. Stage 3, "I like Floppers" was exceptionally challenging to see how many slug targets you could take after hitting the activator, and before the floppers closed. Great stage! Many thanks to all those that put this match together.

Can you share what method you used to quit? Thanks!

You might try sinstrialrifleman (Russell) he is usually up to date on the Federal Laws.

I could not get the 68 gr. Hornady BTHP to group either, using Varget and CCI's. However, the 75 gr. Hornady BTHP with 23.8 gr. Varget grouped 1/2" @100. It could have been me or my gun, but I gave up on the 68's.

Awesome!

I'll be there as well, shooting the Winchester on Sunday.

When analyzing video of myself shooting on the move. I had my feet spread too far apart to move fast enough, and from that wide foot stance it is hard to gain burst speed to zip to the next target array. Consequently, I have focused on moving with my feet closer together and body slightly higher. I've noticed some super fast shooters and it seems that their body is always on "top" of their feet.

1. Try some factory ammo. 2. if it doesn't run, call Bob.

They are awesome. Last year, the week before the American Handgunner and Winchester World Challenge. I broke a guide rod and blew a extractor. I phoned Brazos and had the parts to me in 3 days. The tuned extractor fit and run perfectly.

LadyinBlue, STI is real good about warrany if the mag is defective. Don't suffer with it, call them and they will most likely replace it.

WOW! Thanks for posting that Reneet. Great read.

We are having our first 3Gun match and all of us have four thumbs when it comes to computers. We want to use the IMGA type scoring where the top shooter on a stage gets 100 match points and everyone else get a percentage accordingly. Assuming excel the the preferred format? Thank you.

DMW (Dave's metal works) makes the nicest metal follower I've seen. The metal followers are far superior to plastic in my experience.

Larry hit the nail on the head. Amen

Check out Mr. Kelly's excellent website www.multigun.com. He has several videos of smm3g from 2005.

Congratulations!!! The next classifier will be 100%.
