  1. Nice shooting and nice video, Now I am going to drink an Ensure and take a nap and later call my grandkids.
  2. so Ah , do we? Get to know how wide and tall the bottom wall slot is for stage #5 ? How far are the ClayOlas is it a sandy range floor that will blow sand in our guns if we shoot low and side ways ? do I need to bring rubber boots.
  3. The thing I like the most about my 5-20 Razor is the detail I get as the bullet strikes my 500 & 550 yard steel. several times I have told the Spoter ware to find my hit on the target.
  4. See you Firday Non-competitors are more than welcome to come out, check out the vendors and demos and watch the stages. Eye and Ear protection is required and please check in at Stats to sign the waiver. At 1pm, the competition starts. Some of the top names in the game will be here to compete, probably for the last time in Colorado Ya know Nothing would make a statment better than -Having- a match next year. Having it and makeing alot of noise that your going to have it next year. invite a news paper guy to come out for a story , The Story would be the shooters planing to come back the next year. " I, Am Spartacus !
  5. Its a bunch of work to log in and store prize table guns, I think the fee for FFL to FFL was very fair. this is only part of the line for shooters that won guns. The photo shows only about 25%
  6. I saw your video , and you did some very good shooting, I don't think all 5 were on the swinger noshoots. you looked solid through the door.
  7. Several of the stages very good. Like if stage 9 was used next year with seperate activators for each clay target it would be cool, a fast shooter could activate two or more flippers, or a slow guy could activate one at a time. I was pleased to walk away from stage 2 Watching the video of me on the swinging clays was comical. the target disaperard and my gun fired. target shows -hides , my gun fires. It looked like I was trying to miss. Stage 2 was my worst of the match , but I still think it was a resonable test and challenge. Kinda like pulling a Bulls tail and thin seeing if you could out run him to the fence. My gun went through the door at 27 seconds and I had a score of 60.87 seconds on my sheet. I got run over by the Bull, but I still servived.
  8. I am going to see what I can do to get Vortex to help with the table.
  9. Thats Skill or Luck , both are good. When the subtensions do not work out adjusting the sight in distance can do the trick. for 223 I have my 200y sight in with 69 gr bullets hit just at to 1" over the top of the bar. that makes my 55gr bullets work fine out to 300 & 400 yards and my 69 work fine out to what ever a 3G match can throw at us.
  10. I will remember that "Glint" in your eye when you said - "just wait until next year" looking forward to it. I love this game and the great people that become family.
  11. Ok I Liked the match and I know that the R.S crew is first rate. getting invited to a dinner party and complaing about the meal is not good maners. Getting invited to a dinner party at First Rate ***** Five star resturant and being asked about the meal by the manager , you sould be polite but honest > rite<? like if one of the dishes was cold. First Off I said that I liked the match and I will be back. I think every Skill set challenged in the match is an important skill to test. And keep in mind that I am just an Old Grump guy that is going to fail in some way no mater how easy the task. I think the match got away from what is its foundation of notatriaty and fell into the drag race speed stage theam. What I allways liked about the Area 2 and the other SMM3G matches was the leavel of "Demand" they put on the shooter to pay attention. Demand as in having targets from several views that could be shot from more than one window or slot. or the option a fast shooter has of shooting one or more targets before a drop turner gets away. No drop tuning targets ? not clam shell targets ? no bear trap targets, no low ports . the only wide low port I remember was #3 shogun. I am glad the plastic rifle targets did not come back though. I am not the sharpest knife in the rack , but the match felt and looked Dumbed Down to me. And I am not going to win or place in the top 10 no mater how hard or easy the stages are. I would rather be challenged to Succeed on a stage than challenged to Fail on a stage. I would much rather fail at a challengeing stage than fail at Line Walk. SMM3Gun is a, stand alone national level established match. I hope they look back at what made them great. I don't want to offend any one, and I was asked for my opinon by management. Jamie
  12. sounds like you understand the "JOY Factor" I was talking about. seeing the targets take the Hit is fun.
  13. your load tube only holds 8 or less rite? or the tube sticks out 3" past the end of the 18 barrel. The sights on the 18 barrel will jurt you more than any thing else. I personaly would rather stay home than shoot a gun with gost rings. I have a 21 gun and a 24 " gun , I like the 24" gun twice as much as the 21" having the sight farther away from my older eyes makes the sight check much better when I have to line up on a longer shot. An old guys gumpy out look would be . - any thing an 18" shotgun is better for than a 28" shotgun , in that case a pistol is better than the 18" shotgun
  14. Hey, ! I Won a drawing ! it was not just them pulling my leg. I figured some one would jump up and say "just Kidding"! long drive home , sleep now
  15. With the scarccity of bullets , I think I am very happy with Benny Hill.
  16. 95 in San Antonio yesterday , give me that nice cool desert Every Thing is going just Too Dam Good. I am healthy, my gear and me are ready , = = That makes me conserned , and now I have that Undertow feeling.
  17. Wow ! the Tube is very nice. Thanks ! The gun looks great with the Carbon Arms tube. Looks like something more than just a shotgun now. "3gun Bling" Instalation was a snap to take off the old tube I used a wood clamp vise , the kind with wood jaws. and a slight bump to break the old locktight. clean out the old threads and clean any cutting oil off the new one. I am missing part of my thumb now from cutting the spring , I did not think my cutter was that good and did not get my thumb out of the way before I gripped down on it. Dam Its my loading thumb too.
  18. If some one ever tells you 3gun is three times as hard. = They have not shot much 3gun. its 3x3as hard 9 times the dificulty. Every one that shoots much 3 gun has done the same thing. It happens
  19. I started out with an M2 and the button, after several trashed stages that I could blame on the button I now run with out one on my guns. But my Versa Max came with one and I have not decided yet if i am going to remove it. If the bolt lock back durring a stage your not paying attintion to your shooting and loading. = Train smart , Train hard
  20. If you shake a can of Beans before you open it the thick sauce will not stay in the bottom of the can. If you have short hair the shampo last longer and you can just put some water in the bottle to get and extra week of use out of it. Liquid body soap does not wash away in the shower from the water dripping on it, and last 10x as long as bar soap. If you peal a Grapefrut to eat it, very little falls to the waste left behind by the spoon dig way. and if you eat it over the sink you dont have to wash a Knife , a plate and a spoon. If you get married on Valinties day you bundle the selibration dinner each year.
