  1. Don't know if there is one available for the 30-06 but there are .22 conversions for lots of full bore rifles. The British army used to shoot .22 out of the SLR 7.62 rifle on indoor ranges. al
  2. Found out from the local guy yesterday about LPA. I haven't had any reply from them yet. al
  3. Does anyone know the size of the grub screws which hold the rear sight. Is it possible to get them from other than CZ/retailer. al
  4. I have seen this debated to death over the years, The conclusion I have come to is, to shoot As as fast as you can. But you won't know you are going as fast as you can until you hit a c. So keep the Cs to a minimum. You can't miss fast enough to win. I can't remember who said that but I think it's true. al
  5. I didn't re read this entire thread, so this has probably been stated before, I don't reckon you can dq a shooter for not complying with the start position If his foot, arm or hammer are not where they should be the ro should not start him. If you notice that he has not complied with the start position, after the beep, it's a re shoot. al
  6. I started shooting practical around 1997. It took me a few years to understand what it was about. Around maybe '04 I took a more serious interest and have done some hard practice as well as finding out that it's not really about shooting, although the shooting part is important. al
  7. Thanks everybody. I bought a copy of "The Talent Code" I am about 60% through it. Very interesting. al
  8. I was reading the Indian / arrow thread and was a bit confused by it. Here's what happened to me recently. Last November because of inclement weather and long dark nights I spent some time on precision shooting, .22 rimfire and air pistol. A couple of old hands saw me and after they got over the shock of seeing me without a holster and timer they took the time to give me some good advise and my scores improved enough to keep me interested. I kept at it and became quite addicted trying to put one right in the center, until spring when the weather improved and the days lengthened. I kept saying to myself time to get back to IPSC but something always drew me to the precision range to see if I could better my score. Finally in the middle of June I took my 9mm and gear to the range and finally used it. Within 100 rounds I had beat my previous personal best for a El Prez by .24 seconds. (4.75 from 4.99) The next day I worked reloads and did one in 1.15 v my previous best of 1.35 Last summer I was burning up 3-400 a week, this year none. al
  9. Yeah. I was wondering if all Gov agencies have yahoo accounts. al
  10. I don't know about you guys, but I was taught that anyone has the authority to stop a shooter, for safety reasons. A ten year old kid may spot a hazard that the RO or anyone else has not seen and if he shouts stop , you stop. It's just common sense really. If you stopped and then find it was not justified you are entitled to a re shoot due to outside interference. al
  11. Each time I visit the site, it says 23000+ entries since last visit. Last Visit: Nov 03 2008 03:49 PM even if I was here an hour ago al
  12. I don't understand this. Maybe I should get a job behind the counter. al Got it now. al

  14. Don't forget that 40% of people are caused by accidents. Sometimes alcohol is involved al

  16. I ran the postal shoot on 14th Nov and around 20 showed up to shoot it. Unfortunately due to range limitations two of the stages had to be modified. So our scores can't be entered. Everyone enjoyed it and I have been asked to do more icore in 2010. A few of us intend to join ICORE and shoot some classifiers come the Spring. al
  17. I edited above post al
  18. Please point out that rule I don't see anything under 8.6 about giving the RO a procedural... Who is going to give it to him? Here it is 8.6.2 Any person providing interference or unauthorized assistance to a competitor during a course of fire (and the competitor receiving such assistance) may, at the discretion of a Range Officer, incur a procedural penalty for that stage and/or be subject to Section 10.6. The CRO, Range Master or another RO can give it to him. al What if the RO is not a competitor? Other than providing information about the course of fire during the course of fire (hey, you missed a target over there), I can't think of anything a RO could do to earn a procedural. It is the RO's job to provide assitance. I would never take a gun from an experienced competitor without saying stop. Now, if it was a newbie and I could see he/she did not know how to properly clear the malfunction, I may offer assitance and have before and allowed them to complete the COF. It would suck real bad if the gun were to fire while doing that but I believe you already pointed out the correct call because the RO is not a competitor at that time. Edit because I wasn't being my usual polite self. The rulebook defines a ROs responsibilities 7.1.1 Range Officer (“RO”) – issues range commands, oversees competitor compliance with the written stage briefing and closely monitors safe competitor action. He also declares the time, scores and penalties achieved by each competitor and verifies that these are correctly recorded on the competitor’s score sheet (under the authority of a Chief Range Officer and Range Master). If an RO starts to mess with a competitors gun he can not keep an eye on the range and everyone on it as he should. Better I think for the RO to have someone else assist the competitor if necessary. While he remains in control of the range. You said Other than providing information about the course of fire during the course of fire (hey, you missed a target over there), I can't think of anything a RO could do to earn a procedural. It is the RO's job to provide assistance. Work a few level 2 and 3 matches and you will see. Its not the job of the RO to assist the competitor. 7.1.1 lays out his duties. al

  20. The Competitor does not get dqed because he did not have an AD The RO does not get dqed because he was not "the competitor". The RO gets a procedural for assisting the shooter. al
  21. Guys I have been searching for a FO front sight for a Colt Python with no success. Can you help. al
  22. I have a brand new one I am not using , if you need it. al
