hopalong Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 The Memphis Sport Shooting Assn. would like to announce: They will be hosting a USPSA level II at least maybe level III match with Revolver division being the only Recognized division. (you may shoot your bottom feeder, but you will NOT get to walk the prize table, or get any thing other than some good hearted ribbing for doing so) We waited later in the shooting season so some of you autoloader shooters that also shoot revolver but not at matches can now attend a major match with your revolver and not wish you were shooting that other gun. (Yes this is a challenge). It is also going to be charity match for St. Jude Childrens hospital, all proceeds will be donated to St. Jude (after match expences are covered) Date: October, 30, 31, Nov. 1, 2009 Place: Memphis Sport shooting Assn. This is the same place the last 3 Tennessee state USPSA matches have been held. Website: www.memphis-ssa.com/ We'll have 10 stages, 8 shot on Saturday. 2 on Sunday with prizes and awards early so all can get home at a reasonable time. Prize table will be walked by order of finish. Special catagories will be getting trophies. Thanks for looking, please come bump elbows with the "regular" revolver shooters and find out what it is like to shoot a "Major match" with a wheelgun. Any one interested in helping/sponsoring/working, please PM me on these forums for now. Hopalong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynn jones Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 should be the Tennessee Revolver Challenge, we don't want just anyone showing up. lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopalong Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 I spoke with a "WELL KNOWN" USA Standard team Gold medalist from this years World shoot. He said "He'll be there". So now we have the "not normally shooting revolver" list starting with Him. (I'll let him tell you) I kind of like suspence. The name of the match will most likely eventually change but for now we'll just call it the Memphis Revo challenge IF you like casinos ect. Tunica is 45 minutes or less South of Memphis, You can also go see ELVIS and take a ride in the UFO at GRACELAND !!! IF you like good food and Music, there is always BEALE street. We're working on a web page, and entry forms, please be patient but put it on your calendar. (and talk some of your buddies into coming with you).

71Commander Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Me and my 625 are coming. Should be a permanent Tennessee resident by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueridge Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I am ALMOST tempted to use the S&W 625 instead of my Ruger Alaskan (yes the one with the 2 1/2" barrel) loaded with .45 Colt. I'm one of those guys that is always trying to ice skate uphill. I have every intention of being there and look forward to seeing all of the wheelgunners (along with anyone else that I get to meet.....Even any auto shooters brave enough to be in the minority).

Blueridge Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I think that it is a done deal schedule wise. Now I need to plan some other activities to do while I and my wife are there. Gotta keep the significant other happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopalong Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 Blueridge, GREAT !!!! The obvious choices are: Graceland (ride with Elvis in the flying saucer), Beale street (BB king ect.) Tunica (can you say Casino) Might want to PM Lynn Jones (that's his forum name) from these forums for more. Hop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
