Just bought a Savage Long Range Precision Varminter in 260 REM. Topping it with a Leupold VXIII 8-15x50mm VH Reticle. I'll let you know how it works out.

Yep, LSU!

LSU Even if (hard to imagine) they loose, it won't be by more than 4. I don't expect them to win by more than 7 either.

are you sure it didn't say "loaded mags"?

Great Photos Steph.

Thanks to all of the shooter who made the long drives to come down and shoot the Gator. It just gets better every year! Thanks to Gary and Barbara for one year of work that makes this weekend the awesome event it is.

Started with a G20 in 40 and took it all the way to A class in Limited. Nothing wrong with that combination.

setup started today. first hand knowledge is always better than something that someone heard somewhere from somebody. fyi - Caw - Dats far will not have any targets beyond 30 yards. So easy to asks someone who might know. Why Speculate? Any other facts that you may need feel free to ask.

Good stuff here. Fourtrax and Schutz have it right.

I did hear Mr. Bayou Bullets tell someone that he had coated some lead 30 cal bullets and ran them in a 30cal carbine. The coating held up at those speeds. Bayou Bullets are good stuff.

That's a new one on me. I've shot more than one stage with white shrimping boots.

My $$$ is on the crimp.

My best runs have been when I just stepped up to the line and said "let's go". Walking through over and over and filling my head with a plan, hasn't yielded my best results.

+1 on Troy. USPSA and NROI could use a dozen of those.

Altering your gun in any way to be legal just for Chrono or Inspection is not within the rules of the game. ALtering your gun and shooting it that way is another story. On a side note, Do you know what a set of chronos cost? If you handed a gun with altered sights to the RO shooting at the Chrono stage, they may not have the bullet within chrono. They may however destroy it.

Good luck Spanky. I'm sure you're going to do fine.

Either keep it stock and learn to shoot it, or go all the way and put a Vanek Trigger on it.

Dats it. You're in trouble now.

Looks good Spanky!

Wish I was getting home one weekend earlier.

Nice Ride

Sorry to hear your situation. If you have informed the Match Director, Club President, Range Owner, and anyone up in the chain of authority, you've make an honest attempt at fixing the situation. Sounds like a prime case for litigation, if it can be established that safety violations are NOT being handled properly. Someone will get hurt and everone who enjoys a range anywhere in the country will have to pay higher insurance, and some ranges and clubs will have to shut it down because it'll be the financial straw that breaks the camel's back. Either get commited to making a change, or leave.

If you take anything away from all of this, please let it be "this could have been prevented with a pre-match walk through". If a small group of 3 or 4 experienced shooters would have walked the stages, chances are one of them would have seen the target visible from that position and suggested adding some simple barrier to fix the situation. and 2 Mikes + 1 FTE

Anyone know of IPSC clubs or matches or ranges around Rotterdam? Looks like I'll be heading that way for work soon.

If the gun drops to the ground he is DQ'ed. COF begins with "Make Ready" command 10.5.3 If at any time during the course of fire, or while loading, reloading or unloading, a competitor drops his handgun or causes it to fall, loaded or not. Note that a competitor who, for any reason during a course of fire, safely and intentionally places the handgun on the ground or other stable object will not be disqualified provided: 8.3.1 “Make Ready” – This command signifies the start of “the Course of Fire”. Under the direct supervision of the Range Officer the competitor must face down range, or in a safe direction as specified by the Range Officer, fit eye and ear protection, and prepare the handgun in accordance with the written stage briefing. The competitor must then assume the required start position. At this point, the Range Officer will proceed.
