Chuck Anderson Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Okay stitches are out, mags are swapped, both guns are running. Extra high pad for Metallic gun installed, still need to add another 1/2 inch or so to the open gun. Feeling pretty good now. I have one more practice day on Wednesday, then I'm on a plane to KC. Midwest 3 Gun this weekend and onto the practice range. Bruce I'm coming for you (you know, to shake your hand, not to beat you or anything, I'm not that dumb ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Anderson Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 If I could beat Bruce and every other person at the Cup after two weeks practice with an Open gun it wouldn't really say much for the skill level at that match and it wouldn't really be setting my sights that high would it? That said, I do want to hit 1910 with the Open gun and 1900 with the Metallic. Just gotta make sure I get all them pesky plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spangler Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I can't remember, is it Doug's turn or Bruce's?? Or will Kevin steal the show...Maybe Michael will turn that 70 into an 80 and ruin everyone's fun? Tune in next week for the exciting conclusion....

Bones Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I'll get my initial packing tonight. Flying out Sat AM to STL, shooting the MO State IDPA match in Wright City, MO on Sunday and then driving to Columbia Sunday afternoon. This will be my first Bianchi Cup and I'm pretty excited about it. My goal for year 1 is to avoid embarrassing myself. ffl - see you there!

DWFAN Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Anyone know how the range upgrades are going? Are they complete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Pistolero Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Anyone know how the range upgrades are going? Are they complete? From what I understand, Action Target is scheduled to start tomorrow. There are no plates on the range and according to Tiff Piper not all the other equipment is working either. Should be a fun week. If there was ever a year for a practice match, this would be it.

gm iprod Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 My opinion on Range Status. Practice range, mostly ready, some work to do on levelling and gravelling Practical and target frame to be installed, all new target holders I heard. Plates OK, a couple are getting a little old and may need tidying up, new barricade boards installed. Mover OK, keep an eye on the string as a couple of pulleys are a little old and rough (corroded slightly), proper use will help, broke one string all week (yesterday) and fixed easily, new box for controllers. Old practical is OK and was mowed this morning. Bianchi Range: Practical all going, just need a quick check of function and gassing up I think. Barricade, new lane installed, all other barricades have been completly refaced. Turners for lane 4 due in at any time and all new gas and electric lines have been run. Significant earth works to right hand side. Mover and Plates completely down as of Monday and some earth works has been completed to allow better installation and use of the ranges. Upper Mover all fine as at Sunday. No use since so no chance of us breaking it. Large lumps of this maitenance was held up due to poor weather. Should be good to go no problems as far as I can see.

Ahab Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Just got in today, I shot the Missouri ProAm Steel Plates match today (great guys) and now I'm sitting comfortably in the lovely holiday inn. I'll be hitting up the practice range tomorrow as well, so if you see a midget wearing a green Crimson Trace shirt on Sunday, it's probably me.
