revoman Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 If the COF does not require me to go back to my range bag to get more ammo than I can carry with 9 moon clips, then I consider it revolver friendly. By the way Love II I don't mind finishing ahead of a few autos or behind a few. When the smoke clears the fun is just the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underlug Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Revolver Friendly Adj. A field full of targets requiring no more than 50 rounds per stage. It will include but not be limited to someone furnishing coffee in the AM, water during the day, and beer when the day is done. That's revolver friendly. Regards, Make the definition 70 rounds. I'm thinking about shooting the Crazy Croc this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Round_Gun_Shooter Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Round Gun Shooter... Sounds like racing Win or loose there will be BOOZE!!Tom That's friendly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzShooter Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Any time we all shoot the same course of fire against each other it's friendly. If there are 16 shots from one position that's fine because we all have to make two reloads. I do hate shooting a steel/ paper stage that requires 6 shots only. No place to game it and if you miss you are definately out of the money but what the heck. As long as it's the same for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hearthco Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Revolver Friendly? Just buy me a beer at a match and make yourself "revolver friendly" Now , thats real wisdom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFDavis11 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I can only tell you one time I thought the "match" wasn't revolver friendly. RO made me shoot the entire match without switching the gun to my left hand. He said the technique came "to close to the 180". He was right though, I made my first reload too aggressive and brought the barrel up to high. He warned me "Do that again and your DQ'd". I shot the whole match using the other reload method, which wasn't a big deal at all. Now I can use either method just as fast. But "bothered" me a little. I do get a little concerned about swingers and such that are only visible for a second or two. It takes me a second to just pull the trigger twice. Doesn't leave much room for aiming time.

Bill Nesbitt Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Revolver friendly means that nobody stepped on my moon clips. If you can build it, we can shoot it. Just post a sign: Beware of flying moon clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 (edited) Revolver friendly stage?... Hmmm NO PRONE!! My 220 lbs on top of my moonclips will most likely bend 'em. Edited July 15, 2006 by Nemo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubber Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Revovers can't compete against autos? Wow I wish I knew that before shooters like "TGO" and often a few others kicked my butt against my open gun. Then I could have said something like "that can't be happening" instead of telling them "great shooting". Rob has won our Tues Nite steel match with a revolver against ALL other guns and 130 plus shooters. Rob has sometimes won Revolver class AND placed well up in the top 10 but he has not yet won Overall. The last Revolver shooter, and in my recollection the only revolver shooter to win TNS Overall was a Japanese Revolver shooter a number of years ago. I forget his name(old age setting in), maybe some of the older heads will recall. Do the name Ruby Begonia ring a bell? In Japanese it is pronounced Tetsu Murata?

LChico Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 (edited) Umm . . . I'm "revolver friendly." I actually like to think I'm just "Shooter Friendly." I think the attitude of the match staff has a lot to do with it. Larry & I (at Summer Blast) were thrilled at the great turn-out of Revolver shooters. We had one or two stage RO's & CRO's who made comments (before the match started) that putting 3 Revo squads back-to- back would slow down the match. I'm pleased to say that the first group done was one of the all revolver squads & so was the second. The squad of revolver shooters that took the longest, was the squad that was only 'partial' revolver shooters, and even they finished before two squads filled with Open & Limited shooters. One of the 'fun' parts of my job in registration & stats is squadding. I put together groups of Law Enforcement Officers, all Production shooters, all parents with juniors, and now, all revolver shooters. A few years ago, I had a group of three Open shooters who sent in applications & requested "not to be squadded with revolver shooters again." I put them on my SH*T squad. This is where I put all the whiners, high maintenance types & anyone who annoys me. I figure, at best, they will annoy each other, and at worst, range staff only has one truly difficult group to get through. My local shooters know that if they find themselves on the SH*T squad, it's time to stop talking & buy the stats lady some good coffee Linda Chico (L-2035) Major Match Stats Edited July 16, 2006 by LChico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubber Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Viggen, from what I remember is when Japan's economy was hit hard he went back to work with his dad in Japan. He was also writing for a Japanese Magazine and he told me they were not doing well. I called him one time, big mistake. Time frame different and the guy that answered the phone, no matter how loud ar slow I talked could not understand English. , wrong number!!!!

Viggen Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 With the Japanese economy coming back in play, maybe we can look forward to seeing him again. As with all of us, life sometiimes interrupts our shooting for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pskys2 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 (edited) How about any IPSC match where there's enough Revolero's to have "2" Squads. And it helps to have targets that don't shoot back. My nose & cheek still hurts from the round I caught RO'ing Sunday. The cool part was I saw the "Base" of the Bullet just before it hit. Bled like a Big "B". Guess my vision was tuned in though. Teach me to shoot my Auto, the Revo Gods smited me! Edited July 18, 2006 by pskys2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast n Furious hasn't been posted from OKC June yet. It will be interesting to see how the winning score on the classifier from that match ranks. Bubber beat a GM, M, 2 A's, 4 B's, et al on that classifier. Finished 5th of 11 on the match @ 75.650%. Not too shabby for a Flat Lander with a wheel gun. Scroll down.
