    Rocky Mtn 300

    in Match Announcements - Pistol Only - USPSA, IPSC & Misc.

    Posted · Edited by abs

    Well it's time for the 4th annual Rocky Mountain 300. For most of you that don't know what it is, in a nutshell here it is:

    5 Stages, 300 rounds. That's right approximatly 60 per stage, give or take. It is not a USPSA sanctioned match, but the rules (except for round count criteria) is adhered to. I believe it is the "richest" payback match for miles around. We return 75 percent of the match fees to winners of divisions (down to 3 places if the numbers work) and give away random prizes after the shootoff on Sunday, which is an entirely separate match.

    The dates are April 19th and 20th, we have camping at the range with running water restrooms and showers. This match is designed so ALL shooters have a "real" chance at receiving a great prize. This year in addition the $4000.00 in cash and prizes, like last year, we are going to give a gun at random drawing to each division that has at least 10 entries.

    The shootoffs are handicapped, so in theory any one can win. We give back 100 percent of the entry fees for this. We limit it to the first 75 shooters, so don't delay.

    Do the math, not too shabby of odds to win a gun, and last year I believe everyone got at least their entry fee back in terms of prizes. The app is on www.ecouspsa.com under major matches. Hope to see you there!

    bullet debris

    in Open Pistols

    Looks like I found the problem. I really tore it down earlier and sure enough it looks like some kind of machining inperfection where the end of the barrel is mated to the compensator. This must be shaving some jacket off the bullets as they pass through. Accuracy has not been that bad but was never as high as expected so this must be the culprit. Looks like I need to send this back to EAA for some warranty work. Damn, I heard they are a nightmare to deal with!!!

    My experience with EAA has been fairly good. Sharon is dynamite and takes good care of me. But, if you want it done and done right, cough up the $ and send it to Henning!

    I have both the .380 and the .9mm, both run like a top and are surprizingly accurate. The 9 rides in an ankle holster and is so light and slim you forget it is on. I have shot it quite a lot with different self defense loads and have yet to jam it.

    The NEW thin 9mm , right ?

    yup, the thin one, weighs about 15 oz I think.

    If it won't go.....just force it!

    It works for me when I have to arrest people, sometimes they don't want to go, so I just have to force them to go.......................to jail.

    Yup, like that! Good shooting with you in the Artic Circle last Sunday!

    We will be having a memorial service for Bud on Saturday the 3rd. Bud would have wanted "his" steel match to go on, so go on it will. We will scatter his ashes on the range he loved so much. The service will start at approximatly 4:00 pm.

    Target not taped

    in Match Screw-ups

    Posted · Edited by abs

    If you are truley calling your shots you should not even be looking at the targets anyway. People always seem to think they are going to get screwed over when targets don't get taped. Your job as the shooter is to shoot. Worry about the BS after your done. This is actually a lesson in the mental game where you let something break your concentration. The guy before you may be shooting a 45 when you are shooting a 9mm or there may be 4 alpha's. Bottom line, just shoot. If the RO can't properly score the target you don't have a choice as to a reshoot. And it was the RO's fault for not ensuring that the targets were taped before LAMR. So let him know of your displeasure.

    Has nothing to do with calling your shots. You see the target first and if it is unpasted then certainlly it can be a distraction. More experienced shooters don't even hesitate if they are familiar with the rules. In the last few months I've had two competitors stop to point out an unpasted target , first time I showed him the clock and the second I stopped the competitor. Being able to score the targets accurately was the deciding factor on those decisions. After both events I explained the rules to them. I will also add, I've seen the best two hits given to the shooter which is totally wrong. That is not an accurate score!

    Sounds like we (RO's) need to do a better job of checking the stage for resets BEFORE we let the next shooter do his thing!

    I just received it this morn. Yup it IS a work of art. The machine work alone is outstanding, not to mention the trigger. If I wasn't such a moron I would figure out how to post some pics.
