joedodge Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 boy what an expierence going from club matches with my 4 inch 625 to a area championship. It was a totally higher level of demand and challenge i loved it it was amazing.I really dont know why more people wont give these guns a chance its an amazing division and amazing people i learned alot keeping a staedy rythm and using the front sight and keeping the reloads smooth. I shot a little conservative not on the ragged edge. It was a great time had by all I didnt do quite as well as i would have liked but makes me want it more im gonna stick with revo im deffinatly hooked got a millet sight and 5 inch barrel thats going on in the next few days. thanks for letting me rant.....

waynes_world_45 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I don't know why one of the teams didn't pick you up to shoot revolver with them......the team that came in second was barely in second and with some revolver points they would have won the 1000$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joedodge Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 idk I wasnt sure if it was my deal to reach out to them or them to contact me. I guess I should have asked Jay, oh well had a great time anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisC Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 The only thing that would be better than Memphis in November would be Memphis in a warmer month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joedodge Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Pete I'm gonna try a black front blade and I was lucky enough to find a millet rear instead of the funky factory sight it gives you a binary style picture like a 1911 I'm gonna give icore a shot this summer prolly also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lora Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Joe, I really enjoyed being on your squad. For being a new to revolver shooter, you were remarkable. As we discussed on the range, when other shooters see the competition in revolver class is fast and requires more thought and accurate execution, the more new to revolver shooters will try it. And once bitten, its hard to leave. Especially, when we get all our brass back, and no magazine malfuntions or cleaning. I would offer to share a ride to Memphis but the the World steel is in our back yard for the first time, and is hard to pass up since I'm shooting in revlover Nationals this year. ICORE in Orlando is awsome with 30 to 40 shooters every month, and as accurate of a shooter that you are, you will definitely excel in ICORE. BTW, Bayou has a Backorder on .45 230's, what were yours again? I don't want to shoot a 186 PF again if I don't need to. And if your interested in traveling by car in the South to some bigger matches, give me a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliffwalsh Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 You shot a good match buddy. You had more A's and less D's than I did. You are well on your way to GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joedodge Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Thanks cliff that's really my goal just gota get the speed part figured out I move fast and reload pretty solid and fast just gotta go one for one on steel that's my nemesis right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) You and me both... Shot my first Level III with Revolver recently too.. Our Nationals actually.. 19 stages over Easter. Great match (IMO) and a hell of a learning experience. We are restricted to 357/9mm bore dia down here (so the Open guys shoot 38 Super/357 Sig).. not surprisingly I shoot a 686.. and have not tried to go Major.. yet. In fact I'm shooting "9x19 Rimmed" which is a good nickname for 38 Short Colt.. That cartridge gives me the benefit of short cases.. which as you know (presumably you shoot 45ACP in moonclips?) are much easier to "throw" into the cylinder..great little cartridge! (PF of 135 according to the Nats chrono stage) I visit the USA regularly for major Cowboy Action shoots...(going to the LA and IA State titles in May/June) and will - definitely - bring the revolver over one of these days and shoot an IPSC/USPSA match with you folks!
