chemepharmd Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I know this is a long shot, but does anyone know if the guy who builds the polish plate racks is coming to the match? My local club might be interested in purchasing one if he's coming and could bring it to the match. Probably not an option, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Tim Egan Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) His Name is Farley Colins - North Salt Lake Welding, and I believe he was going to your match. I'll pm his number to you, and forward your message to him as well. otherwise google or pm me.

Toolguy Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 What is a polish plate rack? Does anyone have a picture or a description of how it works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
357454 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) What is a polish plate rack? Does anyone have a picture or a description of how it works? For those of you that have not had the opportunity to experience the polish plate rack there is a short video on You tube, use Polish plate rack for your search criteria. Farley Collins the evil wizard who designed the P.P.R. will be at the match shooting a revolver for his first time in a USPSA match. I have heard buy him a few Brewskis he will divulge the best way to "shoot the rack". We will be arriving Thursday afternoon and will be staying at the Holiday Express just a few blocks from the Match Hotel.

lynn jones Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) here you go: this one seems not to have the extra weights at each end of the rack. which means extra speed when they fall off. oh boy!

Carmoney Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Dave, better save two seats for me at dinner......Sam Carmoney is coming out of (teenager) retirement and will be flying to Memphis with me to shoot the Challenge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Egan Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Those youtube videos are of me shooting the polish plate rack during testing, that I sent to John Amidon for approval as a legal target. ppr1 was with a pimped up open glock shot slowly, but the weights were on it. ppr2 was with trubor and an effort to go slower. I've seen c class production shooters clear it slowly without the weights falling off until after they've cleared it. I've seen masters clear it quickly and it not move as well... One of the keys is to take 8 shots and 8 hits. Miss and it starts moving. Three or four ways of shooting it. Shot a match a couple weeks ago where it was propped up, one weight off, and activated by a falling popper, so it was moving by the time you got there. Just DONT MISS!!

Papaw Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Hey guys and gals, just joined. This is my first post. I found out about this match from this forum board. I am 54 years young and a law enforcement officer. I have been shooting for years, but not in any formal match such as this. My only experiences have been at local matches. I have never joined any of the national organizations until now. I just sent off for my USPSA membership this week. I would very much like to shoot this match if work and family allow. I only live 80 miles from the match. I would not be classifed before the match. Would that be a problem? I have a S & W 625 model of 1989 with only about a 100 rounds fired through it. I have had this gun since they were first produced. Also I have a Safariland 002 holster. I also have two S & W 686 in 4" and 6" in 357 magnum, but I think you have to shoot either major or minor power factor, is that right? Just would like to hear from you and any thoughts you have on shooting this big of a match for the first time. Also would welcome comments from anyone who thinks this is not the match to get my "feet wet". Thanks, Papaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post on here what else you need (moon clips and holders ect.) Some one will have what you need, for sale or to borrow. You don't want to miss this match! See you there.
