so shave the top of the dismond off, you've got a v-notch, and can fit in the box easier.
If its deemed illegal its getting cut. Great plan!!
Thanks

Is the Caspian rear sight that looks like a diamond legal for SS division. It has a post and a notch . But I'd hate to get DQed over something that simple.
Thanks

We could ask the Mods to move this thread to "Questions That Don't Fit Anywhere" under the title of "Why do I find women so intimidating?"
Many fun things can harm us. Motorcycling, gun racing, wild horses, gambling, and of course, relationships with the opposite sex. Reckless behavior can lead to unfortunate outcomes with all of the above.
Here's why women can appear intimidating: Women are dangerous! (And we men do like dangerous things.) They can they can deflate your ego, break your heart, make you spend all your money, make you laugh, cry, and wonder why-oh-why. They can put you down, build you up, piss you off, and then totally ignore you. Of course, there is much more on the "credit" side of the ledger.......
Respect is always the best course to follow. Life has taught me to respect, among other things, God, electricity, high pressure gas lines, wild animals, children, guns, scooters, cars, other men, old people, and other people's beliefs.
I don't pretend to understand women. (I'm not sure that it is possible for any man to understand women.) But I'll always try to respect them.
Eri_, you're a great shooter man! If you look for a sponsor very much, I'm sure you'll find one.
Interesting discussion too.
As far as the Navy goes I shot bullseye on the team in the 70's,80's and 90's always on my own dime.We received some TZZ match hardball,wad and Eley 22 if we went to the interservice or Camp Perry. As far as travel pay good luck. The time was always annual leave.

Open Modified, in terms of shooting positions, follows Metallic Sight. The Barricade can not be touched by the competitor while firing the gun. Wings are prohibited, btw. I don't recall a prohibition of scopes with adjustments for the moving target or mover bases, but I'll check this years match bulletin to verify. Most people shooting OM were shooting USPSA Open guns or similar.
Thanks

Ok I used the search function and found very little. My question is what are the open modified rules? Can I have a mover scope? Can I rest my knuckles on the barricade? Whats really allowed? Do I have to shoot left handed on the left side of the barricade and right handed on the right side of the barricade like ppc or the NRA combat match?
Thanks

Yes ,I used the search function.But I still have a question. I was at the Oklahoma sectional today and was told by a competitor that pinning the grip safety was a violation of the new rules. Is this true? The nationals are coming up and I would hate to be sent home.
Thanks
Nothing wrong with deactivating grip safety as long as the thumb safety still works. There are no new rules dealing with grip safeties.
Hmmm. I'm at the OK Sectional this weekend. I'll be starting on bay 2 tomorrow. My grip safety doesn't work. It doesn't even move anymore. It's the only red gun there. Come 'n git it!
Thanks guys..

I wonder if you could pick where you commanded the tank. I would like to try it in rush hour traffic in Houston. Now that would be fun. As a game of course.
The real military amusement park was Jolo's in the PI from 1970 to about 1982.
Wow!!!!

I think you'll have a great time and learn a lot about yourself, while bullseye teaches only firing whent he sights are perfect action pistol will help you learn just how much sights don't matter when the fundamentals are ther. I came from a plinking back ground and have done both. they are all a lot of fun.
I came from a bullseye/NRA action background. The shooting part wasn't the problem. It was the rules and the people. In NRA shooting the rules are cut and dried. In USPSA at the local level its the "they didn't say we couldn't rule" . Really look out if you win.
Take all this with a grain of salt. Just go shoot and have fun. You will see people do things and act like 10 year old kids. Just blow it off and shoot . Don't let the clowns run you off.
There was a discussion at the handgunner this year in the GM/M squad about the little clicks in USPSA . They are there. But don't worry about it.If the club you shoot at are a bunch of dicks don't shoot there. The cool thing about USPSA is its everywere.
I made the switch in 2001 after 20years of bullseye and 3 years of NRA action.I just could not handle the USPSA crap at the local level.So I just started shooting steel. I was lucky enough to shoot with some great people at some big matches that enlightened me and I'll be shooting my 1st USPSA match in 2 years next weekend .
The thing that kills me is we all have a like interest so you would think we would all welcome new shooters from any background.

I guess the V12 porting kinda eats the velocity up pretty quick
It is major around 168 PF ....... The one I have is V8 ported .......... The V12 is the 07 model .
I just got off the phone from EAA they have none in stock and will not receive any until Oct. 2006
DOOOHH
Is that the 07 V12 they will not have available untill October?
They have nothing in stock. No v8s or 12. The lady I talked to didn't even know there was a v12 model.

I guess I'm behind here. Has the trigger pull weight been changed? If so whats the weight now?
Thanks

Well I'm, glad all is well. As far as the some of the private e-mails I've received .
Well if you sent one you got a responce. I'm glad its taken care of. Its to bad it took 2 months to get a reply from the match director and I had to raise a stink on this web sight to do it.

Hey azone 41! Primary mos 22 years active duty. Retirement sucks!!!
Secondary 8492,7801 ect,ect. If you know you know if you don't well I couldn't even explain it. But i've got the strange feeling you know. EOD was the best gig on the planet!

Well I have a cancled check here for 165.00 from Cops so thats what I went by.I shoot several National and State championship matches so if i was wrong on the price .I'll send you 20.00 smuck bucks for your trouble.
But I did get a responce from the match director that has not responded to any of my polite e-mails.
As far as logging it would have been a 1.5 day match but we stayed for the prize table and had to stay a extra night for nothing. That would not have been bad except for asking the match staff if the awards and prize table was going to happen at 1030 that morning .We were told that yes everything is fine so we stayed .There is another night with meals and another day from work.
But your all correct its over a done deal.
But actions speak louder than words.

I think adding all those upgrades before taking care of their fubar shows a total disregard to the shooters. I really do not care how they spend the money they took in from the match. To keep bringing up that its a"great club" and what upgrades they have made to the range is just wrong!
I also received a letter with 20 Cops bucks to be used for any local match fee.
How many of the out of state shooters are going to drive 11 hours and spend over 1000.00 in hotel bills, gas,ammo and time off work and entry fees for 20.00 off an entry fee?
I also really loved the part in the letter that stated that they spent 500.00 for someone to call and write vendors for the prizes.
Get your money back. But if you do the math 55 paid entries at 165.00 a piece is
9075.00 subtract 500.00 is 8575.00 so we can't buy awards with that .
I think the way this whole thing has been handled just shows what a bunch of clowns are running the club. New flash its not getting any better!
-
Has anyone received their awards from this match?
Thanks
-
It goes on and on. There were a few junior shooters there that they didn't even mention.Bad form and young hurt feelings.
No high overall. I'm not sure why. Ok who's the winner? We aren't doing that. Why? We're just doing Open ,Limited,Production and rimfire?
54 shooters at 75.00 is $ 4050.00 not to mention paying 25.00 with your entry for a golf shirt that never got ordered.
No class awards ? Why ? The match flier says USPSA class awards for classes with 3 or more shooters. Were not doing that. Why?
I have the fastest times.
Overall
Open
Master
Well overall the .22 shooters have 2 faster times.How can you compair drawing 60 times in the match to guys shooting .22s from the high ready?
We'll give you the high open. Thanks
Not enough shooters for Master class open .
Look at the score sheet I count 3 .
Look we'll mail you high open. If you don't like whats going on please feel free to fill the back of your match book and mail it in .

What would you guys do if this happened to you? You and another shooter travel 8 hours one way to the match. You go out to the range to make sure of its location and see whats going on. Nobody will even make eye contact with you. First red flag.
No big deal check in the hotel and take a shower hoping that was the problem.
You go check in the hospitality room to get your squading and 25.00 shirt. No shirts were made for the match but we have some left overs from last year. Ugly green but the new shooter thinks its hot so what the hell its for a good cause. Second red flag.
You get to the match go to the shooters meeting and get told that were going to try to shoot the whole match and shoot off in one day. Cool but why? Third red flag.
New shooter's gun breaks on the stage. Everyone is great and trys to get him to shoot their back up. New shooter believe it or not is happy the pressure is off.
New shooter starts helping with scoring and over hears a discussion about no plagues or prize table.Fourth red flag.
I tell him there is no way they can do that. They advertised the match as one with a prize table. I check the paperwork there it is awards and PRIZE TABLE. Plus there're shooters from Fla,Ar, Ok,Tenn, Canada ect,ect.
Match goes well . I have the fastest time and win. We ask about the awards and get told the stuff is here.We wait another 2 hours. Cars are leaving.Red flag. Match director comes out and says we hope you don't mind but were keeping the prizes for the fall classic .I hope you don't mind. By the way we have no plaques either we'll mail them to you. Thanks for your support of COPS
