Larry White Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 This morning Benny Hill and I went to the Comanchie Ranch to deliver some stuff and do some practice on thier very nice new range. About mid morning we were razzing Benny about being old and over the hill. His reply was"Oh yeah, watch this". Then he proceded to clean a texas star with 5 slugs, at a cool 100 yards. Ever see a peacock strut with a limp.-------Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricW Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Yeah, but does Benny know the correct breechface angle of an unladen sparrow? The shooting is just the usual parlor trick to baffle y'all with bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 (edited) Yeah, but does Benny know the correct breechface angle of an unladen sparrow? The shooting is just the usual parlor trick to baffle y'all with bullshit. Is that an African or European sparrow?? By the way, that performance with slugs at 100 yards would have me standing there with my mouth open! Impressive shooting is an understatement!

Larry White Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 I think Benny's breachface had about 2 or 3 degrees positive angle toward those plates and I know for a fact he was square with the table when they served lunch.-----Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtm Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I hate to see one of my best friends in the world reduced to doing parlor tricks for his lunch! Maybe if he would get back to work on Mikes shotgun he would earn enough to feed himself. As for the shooting......well....I know I'm usually 1/4 second faster than Kelly KurtM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benelli2 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I just want ot know if those were 100 benny yards, texas yards or regulation yards. And I am always happy to be just .001 of a second faster than Benny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AikiDale Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Hill Drill? I like it! Let's make it official and use it as a stage. The Hill Drill: Texas Star at 100 yards, Virgina Count. Yes you can....if it is a "Standard." "Man's got to know his limitations." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benelli2 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 As long as I don't have to reload, I think I can get Jeff by .03 Erik Maybe on your 10th run, this aint no side match, you got to do it on demand, I see alot of tore up tTexas stars in the near future, slugs are brutal and nothing down range at 100 yds is safe. Forget the Virginia count though, I never liked it, life is Comstock, deal with it! jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Who is this Virginia and why is she hanging out at all these matches? Here is a good skill tester 8 clay birds at 8M, 1M apart, unloaded start with SLUGS. So far my best is way faster than Benny or Kelly and down right close to Jeff, who should be practicing this little drill as he WILL see this material again around September 4th or so!! HINT!!! ( don't know about the unloaded start but the rest is absolutely correct ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 For the record and for those that care... In USPSA: - Viginia count = all paper. - The defining characteristic of a "Standards" is more than one string. Anyway... Sounds like a good time. Anybody know how well the TXstar will hold up to slugs at 100y? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakal Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Texas Star Plate Rack v. max dram slugs at 18 yards works just fine; ask Fred. Now slugs at the .22 plates at 18 yards...well, that was a different story Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Screw the shotgun, lets put the star out at 300 yd. and use rifles. I know I can play that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny hill Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 All the steel, even the star arms is made of rifle proof steel. All the slugs did was knock off the paint & even when I shot them w/ the 308 & 147 ball, just the paint again. These are tough stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtm Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Unloaded start, gun at side in strong hand around receiver safety off ( ipsc option 3 start I believe) 9.36 seconds best, always under 10.3 Loaded, 2.45 seconds best. KURTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
