hopalong Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Just a way to recognize the "speedloader guys/gals" get enough of them and we'll do something more. Come have fun !!!! The "challenge" is for you non revolver shooters to beg, borrow or buy a revolver and come shoot a major uspsa match and bump elbows with some of USPSAs best revolver shooters and Best Auto shooters that sometimes shoot a revolvers and maybe even some National Champion autoshooters that don't normally shoot one, but have already accepted the "Challenge" Hop Any questions, please ask.

Kingman Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 sounded like a good reason to visit memphis again, but can't justify a revo right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, you can shoot the auto that you have from what Hopalog posted earlier. You will just likely be in the minority of shooters as far as the equipment that you use. Come on out and play.

hopalong Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 To help clarify things, Yes, you can shoot your autoloader. No, you will not get a trophy, or hit the prize table. Yes, ALL of your entry fee will go to St. Jude Childrens research Hospital if you shoot an autoloader. Hopalong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopalong Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Stages have been decided on, Thanks to all who sent something in. One stage has the opportunity to choose your run, up to three runs (all steel too) so round count is going to be more than the minimun. we will have 10 stages, with a minimum of 210 rounds (that is an average of 21 rounds per stage) but I strongly suggest to bring at least 350 just to be safe. We will also be chronoing so no WHIMPY loads (unless shooting minor and declaring it) We will most likely NOT publish the stages, but if enough of you send an extra 100 bucks to me I'll post a few. Oh, and Gary Stevens is the Range Master (and actually shooting a Revolver instead of his SSTK) We'll be using Palm scoring (have been at this range for 3 years now) so things will go really fast and SMOOTH !!! Got some good range officers lined up, and good chow for Saturday lunch (Jr. shooting team will be cooking for you) Now, just got to get the "other" stuff done. oh and anyone wanting to donate for the prize table, please contact me. e-mail: hopalongmd@yahoo.com IF, you are not able to attend. Just drop a small amount of $$$ for the Charity part of the match Please. Hop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting to give the revolver a try. So far the only competition I have tried using the revolver has been a couple steel matches with my Apex 627.

I am in Henderson right across the river from Evansville, IN. the club that I belong to is the Owensboro Rifleand Pistol Club. The club's range is located in Lewisport, KY just outside of Owensboro. And yes, the W.C. Handy Blues & Barbecue Festival starts this weekend I think. Edited June 10, 2009 by staudacher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Griffin Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Good deal, I'll get you eight moonclip holders. If I don't go to the festival (up in the air right now, my back is wrecked) then I'll get them to you from the Owensboro guys. I'm sure we know some of the same people. You're welcome to them through the match, if you want to keep them permanently, we'll work something out. Otherwise just ship them back to me afterwards. H.

moverfive Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Hey Everyone, just wanted to provide an update..... .....we will be using online squadding for the match and expect to have that available later this week. And for future reference - if anybody has any registration/squadding questions or just cannot reach Sam (since he travels so much and thus I will chase him down), you can contact me: Brad Griffin brad.griffin@gmail.com 615-415-0099 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
