Yup...might as well build up a Springfield. Say it ain't so!!

Nice photos BTW!

I would rather sweat!

They say money can't buy happiness. Although the more money you make the more you owe!

+1 Mark makes some pretty cool stuff- I like his target shaped ones. And Manny's are good too- can't meet a nicer guy either!!

I use a wood burner to melt in real numbers in the back of the basepads.

Cool tats guys- been thinking on getting something done to commemorate my love for the sport, but havn't decided on what to do yet.

I like it!

Interesting observation- maybe that is why he has won every one of them?!

I won't be making this WIIT this year after all- first time in 3-4 years....

16,879 for me- me too!

Thanks guys!

Thanks Kent- I think it would be a good rule of thumb to buy a year's worth. What ever that amount may be, and if one can afford it. There are those out there that can shoot 20k+. But get the highest quantity you can afford. You save money that way.

I shot just shy of 17k rounds last year.

Let me guess,,, your a single man. Oh for the days. Married for 14 years and have three kids. I must be doing something right!

I am getting back to the SS for getting back sake. And to welcome the new Division.

Sigh... Me too. I hope it's enough... Ed Edited for stoopid typing Come on guys, you gotta spend a little on excersizing your rights!

As of last year, we might see a handful of folks shooting SS at any given match here in N. Texas. I could care less, because there is nothing more priceless in this sport (to me, anyway) than smacking around the Open shooters with my 1911.

Last time I stocked up it was 12,000 bullets, 16 lbs of powder and 15,000 primers. YMMV

That is probably 'cause I tend to sqeeze my grip quite a bit more with my left hand and relax my right hand. Especially when I am really hosin'!

Close- at the Nationals at Tulsa there seems to be some snap dragons cruisin' around as hostesses.

Yeah- you know- FOOTBALL.
