Headshot45

I will shoot both divisions....mainly because I like shooting my 625 Mountain Gun....I carry it a lot when in the Glades.....but I will also shoot a 686 with speedloaders because nothing is more fun than beating auto shooters with a revolver, plus reloading faster than the average shooter using mags.....ok, I am sick and twisted....that would be redundant, I shoot revolvers! As to all the guys leaving IDPA because Bill W. finally enforced the spirit of the rules and went back to the principles of the sport.....BYE!!!! I have been shooting IDPA since its inception, in fact, our club shot the first club match beating Bill by one day back in '96, and I am glad the rules have been fixed....it was about time.....but as an SOI for the sport, it is giving me a headache at the club level, but thankfully as the MD for the Florida State Match, we will be using the old rulebook since we shoot April 2-3 and the new book goes in effect April 15. Lets all just have fun and shoot our round guns and play..... Frank

I also am redhaired....and was a stepchild....hhmmmmm..... Like a lot of you, I love shooting the round guns because they are fun....not to mention when you beat a lot of the autos......I have even finished in the top 2 in a lot of stages that are pure speedshoots.....that is fun. I usually only shoot IDPA, and I use a 625 for that....when the new rules came out I was at first upset....but then I got to thinking...the 625 loads faster than an 8shot revo, the 45acp will shoot softer than a 165pf 38 load, and the courses are still 6-shot revolver neutral.....hhmmmmm....don't see a problem there. I would love to shoot ICORE but we have no opportunity down here in south Florida......so maybe this year I might have to go back and shoot IPSC once in awhile....started shooting that in '79 and have been a life member since '85....shot with a 2 1/2" 66 once in awhile for fun...of course that was back when IPSC was what IDPA is now....more practical..... What did ever happen to pin shooting? Did the demise of Second Chance matches make it not relative anymore? Or did the accumulation of pins become harder? Down here I know that most bowling centers stopped giving us the old pins.....maybe we need to invent something similar with a material that is more durable for longer target life? Anyway, I am done rambling.....8.yr old wants to go fishing.... Frank
