Bryan 45 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Trapr, not every stage has ROs as good as Brian, Ryan and Bryan! . I'm kidding, all the stages ran on time this year through the work of a bunch of great ROs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunCat Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I am going to further research having an all irons match.. Maybe in the middle if winter when Cabin fever is in full swing. I'm in. Somewhere I've got a fixed carry handle AR that has been ignored for too long...just gotta find it (and maybe practice with it ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lead-Head Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 The most Brian/Bryan's we have ever been squadded with I think was 4, we just submitted the beat score we each shot on every stage like a golf scramble. I think we still only finished 41st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Tischauser Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 It's a national championship and will probably have double the iron sight shooters that any other "major" "outlaw" match will have. Just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsydlooknin75 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Everyone in irons division will be shooting only irons at next weekends US Carbine Association National Championship. I normally shoot irons, but with their rule set that they have I'd have to shoot tac optics because of how funny the pistol rules are.

Hurley This has been beat to death...BUT, while the RDS and even LPV don't provide an (or much) advantage on closer targets , or even longer ones that can be seen, they both provide a decided advantage shooting from awkward positions IMO.

It's not just awkward positions, it's an advantage to just throw a rifle up and see a dot on brown and pull the trigger than to line up a pair of sights.

bigbrowndog Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Jesse, Quantity does not make a "major" match, especially one on its first year, now unless I'm wrong and this USCA thing has been around for more than a year or two. Having looked at the ruleset, and listened to the replies from what I believe to be the association, the "iron" division is the entry level. Unless the likes of Bruce Piatt, Kelly Neal, Robbie Johnson, Kurt Miller, or any of the other "true" Iron sight masters are there, it isn't a Major Iron sight match!!............. just sayin' If i'm wrong then I'll retract my statement.

kurtm Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Last I heard,as of a week ago, they didn't even have enough Iron sight shooters to recognise the "division" at the "carbine nationals" so that is answer enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co-exprs Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Too bad. I'm enjoying irons. I wish more competitors shared the same interest. I do have a question maybe some of you more.... um.... "experienced" iron sighters answer. I've always had excellent vision. 20/15 in fact. The past couple of years though, my eye sight has been slowly degrading and I am becoming far sighted. The front sight of my rifle is right at about the edge of where I can focus, and sometimes it takes some effort to pull that focus in. I have to wear reading glasses now for small print. Can Rx glasses fix the far sightedness without negatively impacting my clarity at distance? Or is it more of a give and take type thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I don't know, I am short sighted......or so they say. I also have a bunch of astigmatism it is connectable, but I don't know about far sighted sorry amigo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadeslade Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 You need bifocals. What goes as we get older is accommodation -the ability to change focus from near to far. Lenses become less pliable and do not move. Kind of like knees or hips in some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWWWAAAAhhhahaaa... welcome to my hell... jj eta; and I am in too...a Bryan/Bryan all-irons match would be kewl! Glasses can help, just make sure you use the same ones all of the time. I have noticed that when I switch glasses, my point of impact shifts a little. I talked to the optometrist about this and she told me that all glasses would have a slight variance in the lenses and could cause this. You can also talk to your optometrist about measuring the distance from your eye to the front sight of your rifle and making your glasses for that distance. I can still see fine at distance, but my arms have gotten too short for me to read without glasses. Hurley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSnSC Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 My arms started getting shorter after I turned 40. I can't see crap up close any more but the front sight is pretty clear most days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
