Forrest Halley Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 It's looking like 8 stages with a 236 round minimum. Club has lots of steel and is a very well run match. I'm no John Z Sr, but let's try a put a decent showing out of round gunners. Details at http://blackcreeksteel.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westczek No eight shooter yet...been shooting with John Z Sr and he's dragging me faster and faster. Sort of like learning to run a marathon by being tied to a truck.

Haha I'm sorry to be gunning for ya, but I've got some big fish to fry in Louisiana...so good luck with Ed. By the way I swear his mother was a ballerina and his father was some sort of matrix character....which explains the prancing speed shooting!

westczek Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Forrest, I saw the rules allowed me to throw in my 7-shot cylinder and I just wanted to know where that put me in the equipment race Westczek BTW -- The forecast says 35 degrees and snowing!

westczek Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Still a little far out for the weather man I guess, no more snow in the forecast and temps up to 37! I won't be fumbling my reloads with that kind of warm up... Westczek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll still keep you below me in the score sheet so it's legal.....still in revo for this one. They allow eights. All revos with iron sights are equal here.

Forrest Halley Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 Holding out for no snow...if it does we're probably done. If it doesn't we're going to have a great time with more and more revo shooters coming out of the woodwork. Pray for no snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Z Sr Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 My "8" division will allow 8 shot revos to play in Zombie land, they will compete with any gun with max ammo in gun at anytime of 8, so no topping off the 1911's, makes load and make ready faster. Can't give you all the details yet, but rest assured it's COOL. After our first historical event, I'll get you some details. Do you think your local club would try a match. I have a 3 stage classifier/ shooter safety course set up that is fast and easy to get initial classification and make sure the new shooter is safe with commands and load/unload ect. That will be 48 rounds and will run quick, then have at it within the spirit of the game and have fun. With the headshot theme it is good IDPA practice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the headshot theme it is good IDPA practice John Z, This is a similar concept that went on in Tontitown Arkansas Monday night. In place of our ICORE match , Rick went with a 8 shot limit for autos and openend up to them. But the set up was easier (meaning you would not get confused of where you were) shooting in six shot arrays. Targets were hid behind barricades and such so that at any one time you would be able to see three targets easily but could take a harder shot at the fourth one before leaving a shooting area and going to the other. Good luck with the match. Hey wait a minute you are only 17 hours from me and.....nope common sense snuck in and I beter stay closer to home. later rdd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrest Halley Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Spoke with the match director today and he was very excited to hear about so much revolver interest at last minute. Icore is looking like it could happen in the future. This promises to be a good match at a club known for its steel collection. So far seven revo shooters confirmed. Still lacking on the twelve John, but believe me we'll get there one way or another. Who really cares how many...biggest thing is the wheels keep turning.

westczek Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Forrest, I'm all loaded and ready. Looks like a dusting at most on Friday. Saturday is looking good. And I'm leaving the 7-shot cylinder in safe. Sticking with the 6-shot. Westczek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beware the Zaczek narrowly escaped his last encounter. HAHAHA try not to fall over John! I'm bringing 714 rounds in clips, two guns and another shooter to help me devour my ammo pile! She's taking off her French tipped nails as we speak. Apparently fashion doesn't always go with firearms....Mel feel free to chime in here.
