Hello i might be heading up to the dallas/fort worth area this weekend and wondering if there were any matches going while we are up there that we could possibly shoot. Thanks would like to attend one in the area while up visiting. Joey

22 cases in super! was wondering what that scrunched up brass thing was on the decapping pin

I hope my gun runs 100% " been having some bugs trying to work them all out"

No problem at all i load my 40 with small rifle. no problems at all i know a few people who load with magnum primers they work great! load them up if i remember you gain about 30fps with them from standard primers Joey

Sweett blaster!!! let us know how you like it after some rounds! any difference from having a sightracker barrel???? One nice gun there!!!!

I had the same problem with my Edge and i found the correct size drill bit and cut the shank part off the drill bit and changed the pin and lock tight it and peened<--"spelling?" it at the same time on both sides has work good for me. Joey

+1

i bet this was a thrilling experience

Tarpon are a game fish. Just tons of fun to bring one in!!!! what kind of fly rod set up are you running??? getting started with nice stuff sure does cost a pretty shiney penny. i found that out when i purchased my fly stuff.

They have permit and bonefish down there also. i went a few years back for tarpon but i wasnt into flyfishing at the time. Now i am and wish i was back then haha. I caught my tarpon on a spinning rig 105lb. Took me hour and half to get it in! how long did you fight that one for?? bet it was fun!! Joey

+100 Tell me about it practically had to race to the targets to paste them. haha Joey

i found it on ebay only one posssiibblllyyyy but ide have to think about that one!!! hahahahaha

well like they say every one dq's some time well mine was in my first major match on the 1st stage just to remind me what i did so that i can prevent it from happening again i decided to get this patch for my bag haha

as i started to turn to engage targetes on the left side " twisting my shoulders" i had my plan to do my reload the i AD when turning right after that i dropped my mag so i hadnt reloaded yet. i hesitated after that and shot couple more tragets after that. after i did that the rest of the day i was trying to recall exactly how i did it. Tell you what it sure does mess with your mind!!! I am still in shock that i had an AD and dqed my first match ever and even at the first real match i have been to. I am not upset or anything that it happend. it just happend i was just wondering what every one thought on how things ended up. i talked to the MD about it he said its a dq if you are not engaging a target. So thats where i left it im not the person to argue to the last minute if it happend it happend. even though i didnt get to shoot any other stages i enjoyed watching whitney shoot the rest of the day and help paste or set steel up on the stages.

oh i had forgotten on my score sheet it sayd dq by ad and below that round over berm

4th stage

I guess the luck wasnt with us this weekend because i had my first DQ /AD also.sure isnt fun. drove up 7.5hrs for the match piad 100 bucks and i shot 20 rounds. after that i was bag hauler and mag loader for the girl friend.

Hello every one i have a question on what happened to me this weekend. It was my 1st stage and you started with hands on the wall and first targets you shoot around the wall from the right side. i shot those targets and when i started to rotate my body to run the other direction to get to the other targets and i fired a round "AD". I know that's a hands down DQ for the match. Part that i am wondering about is that the round it self didn't go over the burm which a few of the squad people told me that it didn't. so after i do that i hesitate the Ro didn't say anything so i reloaded and went to engage the other targets and that's when a few people watching me run the cof start yelling AD i had already started shooting the targets on the left side i got a jam in the gun and the Ro then tells me to go ahead and stop. I unload and show clear Ro went over to the right side to see if i had shot any targets during the AD. but i didn't after my squad was done shooting that stage i went to ask the Ro about it and he told me that he had to DQ me because the people watching me shoot that stage started yelling ad so he had to stop me. I was wondering what you all though about this. This was my first big traveling match for me and i go and AD for the first time and get DQ for the first time what luck haha oh well next year.... thanks for taking the time to read this post!! Joey

Whitney says sorry for such a loud gun haha ! we chronoed weekend before 177PF. Had a good time at the match for the first 20 shots!!! then i went to visit the local Dairy Queen. any ways had a good time meeting every one in the squad. Hope to see you all next year. Joey

Hello yep this is our first "real match" I am shooting C limited and whitney is C open i started shooting like 9 months ago and whitney started like 5 or 6 months ago we both are fairly new to this addicting sport! we will be driving up from Mcallen which is 4 hours south of san antonio. We will be up there on friday to see whats around the area and hopefully find are way to the range haha. See you in a couple weeks. Joey

Hello just wondering what squad every one is in. Whitney and i are on squad 4 Joey

I think I see where the confusion is - allow me to ask a couple of clarifying questions? By "registered", you mean signed up for the match? And, if so, then some 165 people are already entered in the prize table drawing, and no further effort is required other than showing up and shooting the match? Or, do we have to have checked in to the match and do something once we're there to be eligible for the prize table? Prize table last year was a bucket raffle format, and the drawings were done Sunday after the shooting was finished, but before awards. If you have 'em, might as well post 'em Will it affect those of us coming from the hotels, etc?? BTW - the Texas South Section website appears to be down... Anyone got the match hotel info handy? We are staying at days inn it is 115 for 2 nights. not bad at all free internet

Absoluteltyneed not be present to win. The only thing you will have to be registered by Saturday afternoon. I don't expect tha to be an issue So those that show up late Saturday or Sunday morning loose out on the prize table? Wasn't the prize table done while waiting on final results last year? Everyone would be registered at that point. I think he means being registered for the match by Saturday. What im guessing is that any one who is signed up to shoot the match will be in the drawing except for those who show up Sunday to see if they can sign up for the match and shoot on sunday. If that makes any sence joey
