  1. I guess you don't get a slot for winning your class at the Nationals do you? That was the only major I made it to last year. Oh well.

    No you don't. To be honest, I was pretty surprised about that policy. After a season of equipment problems and brain farts, things finally come together at the Nats and you win your class but that doesn't earn you an invite back. I don't voice complaint much but I have to ask, What's up with that?

    Well, I do complain(too much at times) but I was surprised at that also. I figured it was at least equal in weight to an Area match. With diesel prices what they were last year I only shot two big matches: the VA/MD and the nationals.

  2. Ok here is a question. lets say you knew someone with bullet plating equipment. Could you have these plated and then they would not smoke or lead your barrel? Would they need to be sized smaller first? I don't know what size these are from S&S. I remember talks about plated bullets needing to be larger than jacketed to work right in some guns. Any ideas?

  3. I really don't know why they were so tempermental. I laid them on the bench with the sensors lined up and they would say could not connect. Once I had someone hold one, then I would wiggle the master around until it connected. That seemed to take care of the problem. It sure was a pain realizing that though. After that it was smooth sailing.

  4. Howard, did you finally decide these were too smokey for you and stick with a jacketed bullet? I'm about to try one of the two. Either the 220 lead or a jacketed 200, but I can't deal with it being too smokey.

  5. Everything ran great. The only real issue I had was that I could not get those little sob's to beam from the master at the start. That delayed the match by 45 minutes. Once I got that figured out it was smooth sailing. Scores were on my laptop by the time I drove down to the clubhouse for the cookout we had after the match.

    Any chance of getting the procedurals to follow on each page? Any chance of adding more than 3 pages of 6 targets? I know the limits for level 2 matches and above, but we sometimes like to go crazy with how many targets we have.

  6. This is just my opinion, but if you like the set-up you have now, you will hate that combination in the picture. I shot one like that last weekend at a match. It was like shooting a limited gun that was not quite set up right. The recoil was flippy instead of a push to the rear. I also tried a hybrid/comped gun last year and did not notice it being any flatter than just a regular comped gun. Now both of my open guns have storm lake barrels and an EGW 9 major comp.

  7. Thanks Nelson, I keep saying we are the biggest bargin in area6 ;) Everyone is welcome to come up or down or over on the fourth Sat. of the month. When all was said and done we had 56 shooters. A huge increase from the almost dead club of 7 shooters on a good day.

    For all those close enough we will be giving away 2 more guns(at least) again next January. All you have to do is come shoot a match to qualify. CAPS
