1chota Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 General could you please change my entry to reflect WWII division. Now I am on the hunt for a Garand! This ought to be cool. Patrick NO NO NO!!! Patrick must be kept out of the division so that the rest of us stand a chance.... I have seen that man shoot his M1A. if you are afraid, just put Visine in his coffee. if, you are afraid. I know my good friend was just joking about the Visine but check this out. From Wikipedia "Visine prank myth A common urban legend is that a few drops of Visine in an unsuspecting victim's drink will cause a harmless bout of diarrhea. This will not produce diarrhea, but oral administration of Visine can induce dangerous side effects related to Visine's ingredient tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride such as: Dangerously low body temperature (hypothermia) Blurred vision Nausea and vomiting Difficulty in breathing or even a complete halt in breathing Elevating (hypertension) then dropping (hypotension) blood pressure Possible coma Seizures and tremors Pfizer recommends that anyone ingesting Visine get medical attention or contact a poison control center immediately.[2]" Patrick Oh in case anyone was curious I shot my very first 3 gun match ( a little local thing) with a M1 and loaded fast enough to keep the AR's off the podium. Yes, Pat, i was teasing the guy. reading all that stuff, makes you wonder if it is safe to put in one's eyes. see ya there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biga9999 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Probably yes, but I am going to shoot a couple club matches first. I am a little short on suitable 1911 mags (most of mine are for L10), and I need to plug my shotgun mag tube. And find a good way to carry loaded enblocs. And learn to load shotgun weak handed because the enblocs need to go strongside where my shotgun trays ride on the belt. And replace my 1911 holster because the old one is plum wore out. Nothing insurmountable. Try putting the Enblocs on the sling and reloading from there. They will stay until removed and are much closer to the rifle that way. I might try it this weekend at the club match. My M1 has a sling on it now. But it may come off since this is not a "sling" match. Slings are not forbidden, and they usually just get in the way. Hmmm, that would be attaching ammo to the rifle before Make Ready. Maybe not much different than dealing with shotgun rounds on a sidesaddle. You garand guys might be interested in this http://www.originalsoegear.com/garand.html Ouch. Not at $175. Lee, what about just putting them in a dump bag on your belt?

Brownell's has a grab'n'go M-1 clip carrier much like a messenger bag slung over the shoulder. lots less $$$ then there are the surplus m1 belts (most are reproductionss) from places like cheaper than dirt and other surplus vendors. Bandoleers are another option. Each holds 6 Enbloc clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Lee, what about just putting them in a dump bag on your belt? Alden, I noticed an error in your registration. You signed up for Tactical. I figured you for a WWII guy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biga9999 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) Alden, I noticed an error in your registration. You signed up for Tactical. I figured you for a WWII guy... That would require the purchase of another 2 guns, and I think my wife might shoot me with the ones I already have. I have enough problems shooting right now...

SFC_BAD Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Reminder that this match is a tribute to the men and women of the United States Armed Forces that served in the Pacific Theater of Operations, those that participate in this division shall receive special consideration and a very rich prize table. Looking forward to another great match and thinking of switching to WWII division, but was wondering why only Garands and 1911s. My Dad served in the Pacific and he never had a Garand (Navy, they still had '03 Springfields) had an issued S&W .38. Any chance of other WWII era guns being included. Don't want to make a lot of waves, just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFC_BAD Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 And another thing, at the 2011 match (can't say enough about how amazingly well run this match was overall) I had a sling on my rifle and was ordered by an RO on one stage to remove it for "safety reasons". Not a big deal for me since I didn't really need it on, but could be a problem if you planned to carry your M1 clips on the sling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralChang Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 We are actively reviewing WW2 rules to accomodate various weapons used during the war. We will be flexible...again this match is a tribute to those that served in the Pacific. We want everyone to enjoy themselves at this match, we will be revising the rules to facilitate this. Besides, there's going to be an additional prize table for the WW2 division...fun stuff in store for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going to have separate prize tables for each division, with prizes allocated proportionally? I think thats the best way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the way they did it last year was the best of any match I've ever shot. If they change it, I'll still have fun but in the Tac-Optics division.
