General Discussion / February Match Predictions

« on: February 07, 2024, 06:59:36 AM »

I predict...

1.)  Five main match stages and one side match.

2.)  You will need 50 rifle, 50 handgun and 18+ shotgun shells for the main match.  Side match will have ten rifle and ten handgun.

3.)  There will be some rifle and handgun knockdown targets.

4.)  Weather will be warm but you might want 40% of a scattered umbrella.  (?)

Hope to see you there.

The version Mister Badly mentioned has a 1/4 by 20 screw threaded into the top.  I would imagine a 1/4 by 20 threaded rod could easily be chucked in a drill press and screwed into the tool.  Of course, there would be no need to spin it.  Can't speak to the arbor press idea.

I've seen something similar to River Jordan's original post at Oak Ridge and Cleveland.  One or two shooters had them mounted on their gun carts.

We're still having a snow "day" out here in the boonies.  The only tracks on the road in front of our house were made by deer.  Think we'll be staying home another snow day...or two...or...

I predict...

1.)  Five main match stages and one side match.

2.)  Main match ammo count will be 50-50-18.  Side match will be ten rifle and ten handgun.

3.)  You might want a jacket.

4.)  There will be knockdown targets for rifle and handgun.

5.)  Gunfight stories are courtesy of True Grit, Big Jake, Fistful of Dollars, Open Range and Outlaw Josey Wales.  And, as it usually does, the starting line for the side match stage is from The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean.

Don't forget, you might want a jacket.

About 7:30 AM on Tuesday...what a great day NOT to be at a shooting match, or golfing, or doing yard work.  Lots of rain already.  It's shaping up to be the right kind of day for a cat on your lap and a good book.

General Discussion / December Match Predictions

« on: December 06, 2023, 07:44:44 AM »

I predict...

1.)  Five main match stages and one side match.
2.)  We will need 50 rifle, 50 handgun, and at least 24 shotgun shells for the five main stages.  Bring some extra handgun and rifle ammo for the side match.
3.)  There will be some rifle and handgun knockdown targets.
4.)  We will not need parkas or snow shovels.
5.)  You may notice that these Christmas stories do not bear tidings of great joy or wishes for peace unto one another.

Hope to see you there.
