zhunter Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 I think Nemo has been very kind in allowing for a 30 day attitude adjustment!!!! Personally, I always feel like if someone is not happy, they should leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38superman Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) What the * is going on? I check in and find you guys squabbling like 40 kids locked in a room with one Playstation. We must restore order quickly. I suggest everyone grab a 1911 and fire eight rounds at the nearest target of opportunity. Take 3 deep breaths. The sweet smell of burning gun powder should return sanity in a matter of moments. We now return to our regularly scheduled program. I spent a lovely afternoon yesterday at the Tennessee Hillbilly Classic. The match was restricted to Single Stack and Production divisions. This was a fine opportunity for the Classic vs. Plastic crowds to go head to head. Having seen the results this morning I'd say that JMB would be proud. I shot a 1911 in competition for the first time in four years. It is the most accurate gun I own. The penalties that have plagued me disappeared, only to be replaced with alphas. The big .45 was mowing down steel plates with extreme predjudice. Now I remember. It was spiritual. I am born again. Rejoice, for it is good.

38superman Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I think these results are pretty interesting. SS shooters took 9 of the first 10 places. I think that it is worth mentioning that most of the polymer shooters were using the same rig they shoot in every competition. Quite a few of the 1911 shooters were hi cap guys shooting rigs that had to be dug out of a safe somewhere. I entered the match so late that I did not have an opportunity for practice of any kind. On Saturday I just had to strap it on and go to work. You can't make too much of it because there weren't enough shooters to have a big enough sampling. However, if this match teaches us anything, it's probably strong evidence that 2 extra rounds at minor power factor just isn't enough of an advantage to overcome major scoring. That debate has been going on for quite a while. Now maybe that argument has a little more to focus on. Tls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopalong Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I'd like to apply to the club. I traditionally shoot OLD .45 caliber handguns. And since the JMB design IS the best design ever given to us mere mortals to use I think it should be just that used. See: http://www.photostockplus.com/home.php?use...9&pcount=45 BUT, Since the new addition I can't say OLD anymore, just proven.....

38superman Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) 38SupermanUm, well, Tony, I noticed you are not classified in Single Stack!!! Any comments? True, I am not yet classified in Single Stack. There are basically two reasons for this. One is that I spent the entire year shooting limited because I'm trying to push my classification higher. I've been stuck in B class for way too long and I'm trying to get my A card. The other thing is that in the clubs where I shoot there is almost no participation in single stack. One or two guys maybe. There are a lot of folks that play this game just for fun and to socialize. I am not one of them. I am there to compete. That is what keeps me interested. I wish I was competing at a higher level, but make no mistake, I am playing to win. I just need more SS guys/girls to compete against. That is why I thought it was such a great thing that a local club sponsored a major match restricted to SS & production. It got folks to break out of their comfort zone and shoot in a division that they normally wouldn't think about. Those same guys were oiling up their 1911s, doing upgrades, and in some cases having custom guns built in preparation for this match. I was really surprised at my accuracy in the match. I went 1 for 1 on every piece of steel, had only one mike and very few Deltas. That is reason enough for me to want to keep working with the gun and see where it leads. I will surely pick up a classification at the next classifier match that rolls around. Shooting my Springer was great fun and I want more. I hope that a lot of others feel the same way.
