Welcome to AZ!!!! Just learn to drink lots of water and keep spray on sunscreen in your bag!

I had the grips and magwell put on my CZ75 by Angus...yep skateboard tape was necessary. I shot them for the first time at a match in Tucson in 90 degree weather - Pro Grip became my best friend that match until I got more tape on them....LOVE THEM THO!

Hey guys, I just talked to Steve and here is the scoop - Show up at 8am either Saturday or Sunday (whichever day you signed up for) 250 rounds should be plenty as it is 7-8 stages The stages are all IPSC approved and for those that have shot a Rio weekend match it will be pretty standard for them. For those of you that haven't....you'll have a blast. If anyone has any other questions just give Steve a call. He is sorry he hasn't gotten back to folks but he has been out of town all week and lost the thumb drive that had the list of names on it.

Even better, just watch what happens when you post a question out here....I usually get a PM back from Gary (Dillon) telling me the answer and a new part is in the mail! Great service considering he knows I only live 20 mins away from the shop.

How about an old Harley! This is a picture of my dad on his new 1939 Harley. He bought it new when he was discharged from the Navy. He got out in Virginia and this picture was taken shortly after he got home in Belt, Montana. He said that it was a long, lonely ride. Nice!

Hmmmm I know there have to be other Harley riders out there....this is my latest baby.

Just to add to that, I bought mine from Angus Hobdell at Ghostholster. He recommended them because I wear hearing aids in both ears and we found that using these I could ditch the hearing aids at matches and still hear conversations....Can't say enough about how comfortable and WONDERFUL these ear muffs are! There are many many guys that I shoot with that are hard of hearing that I wish would get a pair of these as well!

IPSC rules state maximum barrel length is 5" to play in Production. The G34 and G35 are 5.5" barrels. Thanks, you're right...I just checked the rules and they are ok for Limited but not Production. Hmmm I wonder if I should mention that to my friend?

Why is a G34 illegal in IPSC? I shot one for several years in Limited and know several people that shoot them in Production.....

What is your oal? I had that problem with mine and had to shorten mine down. Am now shooting 125jhp 1.080 oal....

HEY....watch the comments about us scorpio women! he he

Although International Handgun Leather does not have a web site - here's a link to all of our sponsors for the match: 2006 A2 / Desert Classic Sponsors A2Chic You are looking for Ian Martin. He can be reached at gunleather@uswest.net

On the sides of the cart were 2 pvc pipes that represented the 180 and you could not cross that. A couple guys did reach back and got dq'd for it - this would definitely be a one way ride but the targets never disappeared as they were all visible all the way down. You could have shot everything from the top if you had the guts and the range :-) Hopefully someone has some good video of it but if you look at the picture that was posted you can see the white pipe sticking up on the right hand side. That was to remind you of the 180.

Ok guys...it was only in the 80's and gorgeous shooting weather! Low 60's for the first stage every morning. The problem with the roller coaster was you had sets of 3 to 4 targets on each side as you went down. If you were L10 or Production you better reload pretty darn quickly. A lot of shooters forgot there was a brake on the coaster so if they blew a reload or had a malfunction they just blew past targets when they could have stopped themselves. The other end was if you hit the brake too soon there was a certain point where it wouldn't start again and you either had to pull yourself along with the ropes or take all long shots, including a head shot....Disaster factor was huge here but was a total blast!!!! Joe Platt and his crew did an great job in scoring and keeping the stage moving so everyone got through quickly.
