mike.45 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Linda, I am flying Delta and their brochures state they never deliberately crash in water so I am good to go !! I witnessed Kurt and Trapr snorkelling in the Med this summer - an interesting sight and even the sharks were nervous when they realised they were now second in the food chain !

MKuhn Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Mike; I was horribly miss quoted! I said “Lead the way to the Ankel beer I could drink my weight of it.” Or that’s my story and I am sticking to it. Sheepishly Mell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uscbigdawg Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Wow! First chance I've had to look at the stages. Craziness! Better get some practice in with the scattergun and verify zeroes on the rifle (350 yards) and pistol (50 yard poppers). Looks like fun though. Now if I can just find out where the range is on post (I only know the Airborne side of the base), I'll be alright (I know there's a map to the range). For those that have never been to Benning, there's a good amount to do off base. For those that have never been to Benning and I'm competing against, Victory Drive is all you need to know (I'm kidding). Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout454 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Rich, Where do you see 50 yard pistol poppers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Good call. Thought the poppers on Stage 8 were with the pistol. Heck...why not though? Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout454 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I don't mind them, just slow down and shoot. Shot a stage at one of the first IDPA matches that had 2 paper targets in your face - and three poppers at 45 yards. AIR, only two of us hit the 3 poppers with 3 shots.

benelli2 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Now with ARea 6 behind us, it's time to narrow the focus and let the games begin at Benning, look forward to seeing you all. We are getting quite a few questions on the rules, and as I already knew but it is becoming apparent to others, there is no one set of 3 gun rules, most of the major matches have variations of the same basic set. Everyone please review the latest rules and understand them, it will ease my pain on match day. It is doubtful we will make any more changes prior to the match. Hopefully we will have beautiful weather and clear sights. See you all very soon jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinistralRifleman Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 having a buddy order some chalk rounds for his 203...gotta get some practice in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Just saw this stage. Don't know why I didn't download it (with the rest of them) last night. Wonder how far the target area is from the box. The sights on the rifle work pretty well and their distance adjustments are pretty on in case someone is concerned (at least the ones at Sill and here at Bragg are).

Scout454 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 (edited) That stage will be interresting. The closest I have come to shooting a 203 is an M79 - in 1967. Are the sights similar? Edited November 6, 2006 by Scout454 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbrowndog Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 is it quadrant sights or tangent sights? i'm looking for my TM/FM and lesson plans tonite!!!!! trapr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 (edited) I'll conduct a PMI if you want (that's what y'all need. "How to shoot the M203 from a medic"). On a side note, is Remington calling their Reduced Recoil slugs Managed recoil now? I've only ever shot theirs or Fiocchi Aero Slugs at matches and while the Federal Low Velocities are alright, wouldn't mind going with ol' reliable in green & gold. Any help is appreciated. Rich ETA: Here's some info if you're serious from ArmyStudyGuide.com ETA2: To be a geek (and yes I did know the answer) the applicable FM is FM 3-22.31. ETA3: Trapr, it's a Leaf sight using the frong sight post of a M16. Edited November 6, 2006 by uscbigdawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinistralRifleman Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 With how high round count the shotgun stages appear to be, I may use my Saiga, even if I don't have 10 rounders for it by then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itento Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Jeff, Hamp, Everyone please review the latest rules and understand them, it will ease my pain on match day. It is doubtful we will make any more changes prior to the match. Just a question on: 1.4.2 Rifles & shotguns must be cased or carried slung with the muzzle up. Does this mean that carts (modified baby carriages with gun racks, homemade cart with verticle gun racks, garden wagons with gun racks, etc.) will not be allowed unless the gun is in a case? It might be hard to find a case for a scoped AR that will fit into a gun rack. Not trying to be nit picky but this is a DQable rule. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom You will also get this information in an update I am sending out later this week to all shooters & staff (I'm sorry but my job is getting in the way again). We decided that 'carried' means just that. If you are carrying the weapon in your arms or slung over your shoulder the muzzle MUST point up. Any non-motorized cart is okay. All the custom or commercial conveyances you listed are okay. Like I said, you will see this again. Pack your carts, wagons & baby carriages.
