RiggerJJ Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 It should be a UMP .45 instead of an MP5 lol. I was thinking a Thompson, but that would work too... Shhhh... don't tell STLHEAD jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike P Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Is this match at the same place where folks need to adjust to altitiude? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benelli Chick Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) Not if you live at over a mile high regularly! So, I guess the answer is "Yes." But, do real "He-Man" really need air???? It's a beautiful place to shoot, and it's a bit over 6000 ft! There are bear and cougars and pronghorn and deer and turkeys (I mean the birds, it's not a comment on any shooters! ) and snakes! The scenery is like no other! Hydrating is a great way to deal with altitude! Denise Edited October 15, 2011 by Benelli Chick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Is this match at the same place where folks need to adjust to altitiude? Mike, I don't think you can adjust for the altitude in a short time, if you're a lowlander like myself. As Denise said, the facility is awesome, and the area is beautiful. I saw mule deer and antelope daily, young elk on the way to the range, and no live snakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentlemanJim Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I think I'm going to have to reconfigure my M1A and get me a pump gun. Not to mention start keeping an eye on airfare. If you are going to be there...you can count us in as well Now do I need to buy three new guns, or Six Ah...I will just make her shoot Wee-man Crap Have you priced 308 ammo Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just need one more, thank goodness. I still have .308 brass and a bunch of bullets to put inside them. We could always shoot Garands! I still have a bunch of '06 ball. I might have to pick Pat Kelley's brain a bit though. Edited October 16, 2011 by Dan Sierpina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stlhead Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 155 gallons of diesel and 44 hours on the road - Or airfare and a rental car..... The choices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan 45 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I had planned on making a trip to Raton in 2012, but figured it would be in August..... To save travel expenses, JJ & Denise- do you think I could just stay at your place from June until RM3G? I don't know if I'll be able to make it, but thanks for putting this on. I think it's a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benelli Chick Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) Just so you know! We totally didn't want to step on anyone's toes, but because of Whittington Centers' schedule, we could only have June 2-3...So, if for any reason, you are an amateur for Ironman and want to shoot the He-Man Championship...just let us know (when apps come out) and you can shoot with the RO's May 31, June 1 and make it up to the Ironman! We know the Ironman is one of the matches you all look forward to all year, and we don't want to get in the way!

Mike P Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Will there be a minimum PF or is it only going to be caliber specific? If there is a minimum PF, what is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcloudy777 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hmmm... 20 hours, not a quick drive. Airfare to ABQ doesn't look too bad though, maybe split a rental car... DanO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggerJJ Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) Mike, no PF or crono, just being able to knock down pistol or shotgun steel and hit long range rifle targets is kinda self regulating in power factor. See www.rm3g.com for the full rule set on our HEMAN divisions. Dano, closest commercial airport is Clorado Springs (COS), 2 hour drive. (DEN & ABQ are 4 hrs) There is a airport right by the range, but only charters or private aircraft land there, its long enough for a small jet thou. Seems to be quite a bit of interest in this match...did I open a can o worms? .jj ETA; actually the closest commercial airport is Pueblo, CO...but only a few small flights a day.

Benelli Chick Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) We posted the application! Here's a link to the He-Man Championship page of the website! The application is on a link right near the top! home.earthlink.net/~johnson3gun Thanks to JP Enterprises, StagArms, Spec-Ops and XS Sights for signing on as sponsors before I've even started hitting people up! How generous! See all you "He-Men" and maybe a few "wee-men" in June! Denise Edited to add the link! Good grief!

Some of us only need to aquire 1 gun, others maybe more. We need an excuse to buy more toys. Now to get ammo for practice, and work on some for the match.

P.E. Kelley Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Denise, The link directs me to a PUB file that I can't open. I have never had this problem with any other file. Might you have an alternate before someone tells me I have to upgrade or donwload some kind of fix? Thanks Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRider Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I have been all excited, talking it up around the house, working out a travel plan to make this match. My wife says "What days in June?" Turns out, it is the same weekend as my 10yo daughters dance recital. I managed to make the Pro-AM on the weekend of my 25th wedding anniversary, but can't look at my little girl and tell her I am going shooting and miss the culmination of several months of work for her. Thank ya'll for putting on a HM only match, maybe there will be another that I can get to. Hurley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
