NovaShooter Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Looks like that will be a good birthday weekend for me. I looking forward to whipping Thacker on my special day!!! Four of us from Northern VA will be there!!!! Jayson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakal Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Too bad. I rather liked shooting this one and the Iron Man back to back. Easier to take time off in one chunk and drive up, over, and back in one long loop...now I guess I will just go to the Iron Man Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flood Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 No problem as long as you can still attend on the new dates. Ken Flood What if I sent in the application with the wrong dates? Is that going to make a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flood Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 (edited) We have been one of the cheapest "Big" matches for the last 4 years. We need to make improvements to the range and equipment and if you compare our match fee to others you will find we are still less expensive than most. And yes we will "fix" the steel plates for you whiners who can't get good hits with your shotgun! One quote from last year "I was trying to get a double but one of the plates turned sideways and I could'nt knock it over. That's not fair! I should get a re-shoot!"

Flood Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 We are also going to allow the Five-seveN pistol as a minimum caliber. I hate to say it but LaRue beat us to it last year. Great idea, bravo for them. We have just noticed that we had posted the wrong dates for our match, we have moved the match back one week.

Wakal Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Actually...and I watched this happen...one of the best shotgun shooters I know (but I won't tell him that) hit the second plate with a wad while center-punching the first plate. Turned the second plate sideways...had to take the miss due to failure of range equipment Otherwise, it was a hell of a match Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken After the first stage(stage 2 I think), I knew there was no chance at getting doubles on the shotgun steel Unless you mean having to shoot the same steel twice or more for them to go over The other problem was with the rifle steel not flashing/going down by anyone using lighter bullets in 223. Not much can be done about that though with the 308s beating the hell outta them I'm sure I'm not the only one who will be using heavier shotshells and rifle bullets this year. So maybe I'll only be whining about my bad shooting skills . Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCRET Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Just my input on the match fees. With the increased match fees the prizes table should be made where you can see what you are getting. As in my case I finishes two places out of a gun and pulled a bag worth about $50 and a shooter that finished in the thirties and another that finished in the fifties got a bag worth well over $500. To travel all the way from the east coast and pay the increased fees you should be able to choose your prize for the place you finished. Hate to bring this up again but just want to give my 2 cents worth MS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00bullitt Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 While I'm sure to be very controversial.....good point Mike. I also bet the sponsors would prefer better display of the products they are donating for the prize tables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 What is the best airport for those of us flying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ap3 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 (edited) What is the best airport for those of us flying? St. Louis or Kansas City depending on your airline of choice for a cheaper flight, and you'll have to rent a car. You can fly into Columbia but you still have to rent a car and the airline ticket last year cost quite a bit more. I would reccomend choosing a hotel in Columbia around the interstate exit 124 and State HWY E. There is Holiday Inn Select,Days Inn,Wal-Mart, etc... Chris, I will end up flying out for the match as well,so when it gets closer to time give me a shout and we can coordinate arrival times and departure and split the cost of a rental or other vehicle if you bring anybody with you.

kurtm Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Will the 5.7 pistol knock over Poppers? Will it knock down plates without cratering them? Looks like pistol will be all paper this year, Tried one on a star once and it didn't want to knock them off. Oh well good thing they hold like 30 rounds with the extension as your going to need them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakal Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Had no problem with a 5.7 knocking the plates off a real Texas Star...MGM holds the plates a bit harder so edge hits were not as forgiving. Of course the copycat garbage stars from the less competent makers are always a problem no matter what you shoot them with...go Ashton or MGM, or else just save your money The 5.7 was good on full sized MGM poppers, too...but those little bullets just fragmented to dust Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShakyDog Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 When will the "new" rules be updated? I'd like to see how different this years match will be from the DPMS match before I sign up. Yes registation is open at http://www.midwest3gun.com Last year the match did not fill up until the last week, before the match. Rules will be posted before the match, I will update here when they are posted. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flood Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Kurt, We have tried them on the small knock down plates and they work great. The bullet is not going fast enough to crater. We will not be using any large poppers for pistol and we will ck the R&R shooting star for compliance. Will the 5.7 pistol knock over Poppers? Will it knock down plates without cratering them? Looks like pistol will be all paper this year, Tried one on a star once and it didn't want to knock them off. Oh well good thing they hold like 30 rounds with the extension as your going to need them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
