carinab Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Shooting USA this week will have coverage of the match - from 2010 I'm guessing. Good work Sam! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
professor Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Great news! Bob Perdue [North Mountain products] is donating not one but TWO Mossberg 500 shotguns to the prize table for this year's Challenge. And there's a special added incentive to get 80 or more shooters at the match. Check it out on his forum for the Memphis Charity Challenge at Memphis Charity Challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moverfive Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 For those that haven't seen the Shooting USA show featuring the Charity Match, you should watch it - very good segment and shows a large part of the reason we put this match on. And something else that I cannot remember if we have really advertised a lot of......for the past two years we have been VERY fortunate to get several of the Revolver GM shooters to shoot this match (Jerry Miculek, Matt Griffin, Rich Wolfe, Johnny Brister (Mr 6-time GM), Cliff Walsh (our next Top Shot), John Bagakis, and Elliot Aysen - to name a few). Now why am I name dropping here - because we do not have Super Squads at this match and try to put these GM's on each squad so that folks can not only see a top revolver shooter but actually learn from them. I am a GM Open shooter (when I practice that is) and I still struggled some trying to break down stages and actually shoot a revolver. And these GM's were helping me out considerably. Better said - these guys were WANTING to help everyone in their squad. So if a GM like me can learn something, I am sure C and B-class folks will definitely learn something. And how many times can you say that when you show up to a match that you get the opportunity to shoot with one of the top shooters in the sport? Just something to think about. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFlowers Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Watch the show and you get to see a great shot of Blueridge's back! Looking forward to seeing my wheelgunning friends again this year. I missed last year due to work and I am not planning on missing this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul788 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Blueridge and the Alaskan got as much camera time as everything else, save the Polish Plate Rack. Glad to see the biggest roundgun match getting some attention. Will the Friday night dinner continue this year? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see the biggest roundgun match getting some attention. Will the Friday night dinner continue this year? Paul I hope that I looked respectable while I was shooting. I wanted to see the segment before, and now I have to see it (and somehow get a copy of it). I look forward to bringing my Alaskan back and shooting the match again this year. It must have been the black and white striped shirt (Newcastle United FC Jersey)that gave me away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFlowers Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Nah, not the shirt, Blueridge. You are pretty recognizable to those who know you. Plus they did show the massive snubnose you were taking potshots with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus they did show the massive snubnose you were taking potshots with. I just saw the promo for the episode, and caught a glimpse of myself. I am surprised that I made it on the episode, but i am glad that I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
professor Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 (edited) Sam & Brad, Just looking at the reports on the river flooding, and sections of Memphis being evacuated. "Batten down the hatches", 'n all that. I figure the club is going to get hit yet again. Good luck. Edited May 7, 2011 by professor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lora Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I'm in!!! This will be my first one and Look forward to meeting a few on the club. Maybe if the coordinators made up some name badges,like those at a business conference with everyones screen name or alias. Wood be great to match face to name. see all there.

lora Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 BTW,can you shoot an 8-shooter? How does the class work for the match? Can I shoot 8 shot revolver in production or open, and if so does this eliminate me since the revolver class is revolvers only with 6 shots and and 8 shot would throw me into a class shared with autos? I know I can shoot only six and still be in the revolver only class. But, will an extra shot put me out of the prizes even though I'm using a revolver?

JFlowers Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Iora, You can shoot an 8-shooter in USPSA Revo but have to reload after every 6. You could declare yourself in Production, Limited 10, or Limited and shoot the 8-shooter all day as an 8 shooter. I would think the only difference in Production and Limited 10 would be the placement of gear, but I would need to look at the rules to be sure. Anyway, come shoot in November.

John Z Sr Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Having had the honor of being in the presence of my hero, Otis, this weekend at SC Section, I can not miss this match. Now that I've proven that you can go down a little in skill, I'm proud to say that as soon as USPSA recognizes "E" class in revo, I got this!!!!

hopalong Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Iora, Yes you may shoot your 8 shot in the revolver division, but if you shoot shot number 7 before reloading(and the ROs catch you, even by accident) you will then be moved to OPEN which is not recognized for the prize table.

lora Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Thanks hopalong, thats the kind of answer I was looking for, well not really, since I have a 8 shooter. Thanks,and just to confirm my understanding, the prize table is for the USPSA revolver class only, not revolver in prodution, revolver in open class, etc. no need to clarify unless thats wrong. This question was also only to clarify this particular match, which was why I didn't post it in another catagory. See you all there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snertley Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I have made it twice also, 754 miles house to hotel. Worth the trip and worth 10x the money. Its a great cause and match and shooters are priceless. Shooting with nothing but wheelgunners is the hightlight of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
