vrmn1 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 We had 8 or 9 revolvers show up for a monthly match at Cool Springs. Yeah there was a little bit of pre planning to do it but it worked out very nicely. I know this, a GREAT TIME was had by all of us revo shooters. Even ima45dv8 shot a sixgun with us.

Blueridge Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 That sounds great. It is always nice to have a good number of revolver shooters at a match. Even better when some of the auto shooters come in ranked behind some of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ima45dv8 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Yeah, I was the wheel-gun newbie. Had a blast! This was the first real match I shot with it. My North Mountain carrier generated a lot of interest. I think I sold a couple. The rubber big-butt grip was a lot better handle for me than the Miculek grip that was previously mounted. And everyone who handled it oooohed and ahhhhed over it. I promise to steer any opportunities to Bob Perdue since he was so good to deal with on these. I learn a few things yesterday... When shooting a revolver, every stage is Virginia count. When getting intermittant light primer strikes and your tension screw is already bottomed out, a shim made up from a folded piece of a Wal-Mart receipt works fine to add a little tension. Multi-tasking is easy to achieve with a wheel gun. I learned that I can cuss while reloading. Shooting a revolver will help you re-discover the front sight, including follow-through. The chambers on this thing get narrower when the timer beeps. This makes reloads a bit more difficult than during dry-fire practice. *I'm searching the web for a copy of the instructions to disable this feature. Getting spent brass back is easy. BRT's are FUN!
