dirtypool40 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 OK, the old "thinking about it" thread is old and full, let's start a new one now that the match is almost upon us. Who shot Thursday? What are the stages like? Who's there? I'll see you there Sat / Sun, no idea yet or squad orschedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brundoggie Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Mittens, hell! I'm bringing a parka! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38superman Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 (edited) Long undies? Floridians are so spoiled. This may not be a repeat of last year's near perfect weather, but it's a big improvement on what's outside my window right now (25 degrees and snowing). 56 degrees sounds down right balmy. I'll take it. Tls Edited February 14, 2007 by tlshores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhunter Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I hate being cold, my pistola has NEVER been that cold. I hope it werks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherwyn Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Mittens, hell! I'm bringing a parka! Believe there will be some shooters from Iowa and Minnesota there - ask them what shooing in real cold is like. You'll know who they are...with that weather they will be wearing shorts and t-shirts. Weatherman says it might get above freezing this weekend...it also said -15 on my way to work this morning. Sherwyn Only 35 days till spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L9X25 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Reposting this announcement from the old thread... Attention Northern Shooters, a message from the match management: Due to the snow storms up North, and the resulting flight delays, we will do everything possible to help the shooters complete the match. If you are currently registered to shoot Friday but cannot get here until Friday, you will be allowed to shoot on Sat/Sun, so come on down. Even though it will be colder than expected, we promise there will be no SNOW to stand in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhunter Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I had a VERY bad thought a while ago!!! Related to my load problems!!! The cold weather is gonna make the Chrono, possibly the toughest stage of all. There will be casualties!!! I hope I am not on that list!!! I am not Messing with my ammo tho, it is loaded, boxed and set to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L9X25 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 The cold weather is gonna make the Chrono, possibly the toughest stage of all. There will be casualties!!! I hope I am not on that list!!! I loaded up about 500 rounds with the press set just they way it has been for over a year. It chronoed at 175. Roy the chrono man is going to love me ... AGAIN! He cringes every time our squad walks up to the chrono (with three 9x25's in the group). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkbrd Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Ok Eric, Tony and all the other warm weather boys......DID YOU CHRONO IN THE COLD ?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtypool40 Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 no, I chrono'd w/ZHunter in about 60 F. I made 173. I hope that will hold. Besides I'll keep my ammo in the micro-wave until juuuussstt before they call for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 The secret is.... load powder that's reverse temperature sensitive!!! Looks like it'll feel just like the Open Nationals..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 This is funny. It is +1 F. here...with this: Level 2 Snow Emergency Roadways are hazardous with blowing and drifting snow. Only those who believe it is necessary to drive should be out on the roadways. Contact your employer to see if you should report to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhunter Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 This is funny. It won't be funny if my 169.05 PF does not pass the Chrono Stage Luckily it was cold the day i was Chrono'ing, so I have a chance to pass. Normally it would be about 80 degrees here, but that day it was cold. DP said 60, but I think it was more like mid-50's. I have a plan anyway!!

XRe Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Which part?? That the guys who normally wear shorts in the winter are bitching about having to wear long pants, three shirts, gloves, and a dunce cap? That the guys who've only chrono'ed in fair weather might not make Major? That Florida is actually that f'ing cold?? That I came over here from friggin' frozen central Texas to shoot in what was supposed to be warm-ish weather, but isn't? At least I can bet that my loads will make Major... and then some...

Flexmoney Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 See if your Wal-mart has some of those disposable hand-warmers. Throw one in the bag with your chrono ammo. I'll be trying to break thru the ice so I can shovel the snow. Wanna trade? I'll shoot minor in long pants. (ya bunch of sissies) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhunter Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 OK, being I don't want ANYONE to go minor due to the cold weather, here is my plan. 1) put the ammo on the front seat floor while driving to the range, trust me, the heater will be on!!! 2) put the chrono rounds in your pocket, the body heat will keep them warm. 3) Flex also had a good suggestion, and I will have those warmers in my oversized mittens!!

Z-, Don't bother with any of that. The will usually draw your ammo when you arrive at a particular random stage. The ammo will then be kept outdoors (on dry ice) until it is your turn at the chrono (several hours later). Anything that you do on the way to the range would be meaningless by the time it's your turn to chrono. About the only things that can influence your chances at the chrono are: fine Cuban cigars (don't even think of bringing a fake) or quality gun parts, that can conveniently be purchased at the vendors tent (a list of what is needed can be found at the chrono station). Otherwise, take your lumps and shoot plenty of A's and being minor won't matter. Good luck guys Edited February 15, 2007 by L9X25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
