SIngle stack is 1911 only. 

[magnawing 5]

Yes. It's a .45 Stoeger Cougar (same as the Beretta Cougar)

 

 

This is my signature. There are many like it but this one is mine.

Thanks Vlad I thought it was any single stack gun my mistake

[Vlad G 345]

What, you want our rules to make sense? Whats wrong with you?  

[magnawing 5]

So.....why call it "Single stack" and not "1911 only"???

 

 

This signature is AWESOME!!!

[Vlad G 345]

Because it would make sense, and we don't do that

 

There is a bit of history here, there used to be a 1911 Society match that ran every year, which was sorta merged into USPSA at the same time as the new division was created, and if I'm not mis-remembering their match used to be called the Single Stack Classic (and I think it still is and doubles as the Single Stack nationals). 

 

The short answer is: "because".  Ask us why the Metric target is only used in the US and the Classic target is one that was invented after the Metric and it is in no way classic. We just like brain twisters or something.

Aw jeez...vlad is giving history lessons again.

Don't make me shuffle the squads so you are on Jim's squad.

[Golf battery 1,223]

Dam. I messed up and thought i registered but i didnt. Someone please put me in as standby.

[Vlad G 345]

You need to contact Jim for that. 

[Golf battery 1,223]

Ok. I just did. Jim norman. Correct?

[AS350Driver 56]

Yes.

[Steve_G 51]

Looking like a gametime decision for me on this one. A little rain is fine but thunderstorms and heavy rains might be a bit much.

[Kingsoverqueens 10]

Normally I'd break your balls about that, but I too will be watching the weather.

 

My son has a tournament in Toms River tomorrow, first pitch 12:00.  Normally I'd be there coaching but the little shit asked me to stop coaching so now my Sunday's are free.  Problem is that my wife isn't a big fan of driving long distances, and if there is a threat of heavy rain she's going to be on edge and making the bad noise about me not driving her to and from the game so she can watch her son play baseball.

 

Argh.

Argh.

Can't say I blame him for firing the coach.

 

As for the noisy wife, I completely understand that one.

[Vlad G 345]

30% chance of isolated thunderstorms. We call that shooting weather because the actual odds of a storm over the range it itself is pretty low.

[Kingsoverqueens 10]

Aw jeez....Vlad is making weather predictions.

[Howard 538]

So all stages will be strong hand only so you can hold an umbrella in your weak hand while shooting?

Every weather report I see says 80% chance --  Tonight will tell --  I have to say I spend my entire week outdoors -- Don't look forward to spending my day off outside in the rain...

I'm seeing that it's not supposed to start until after 2pm, so we could get a few stages in.

[Steve_G 51]

Looks like every station is giving a different forecast. Guess we'll see which one is right tomorrow. See you in the AM.

[Vlad G 345]

weather.com says 30%
accuweather says 60% in the afternoon

weather underground says 50% randomly.

 

I rather shoot then hide in the house.

[Kingsoverqueens 10]

I don't mind shooting in bad weather...it's the scoring and taping targets that sucks.  

[Hops 0]

Shooting in the rain will always beat cleaning the basement at home.

 

If everybody hustles we could wrap things up before the rain starts at 2pm.

[jvheitz 5]

Sounds like grilling weather to me. Boy Scout Troop 35 will be there selling food and drinks.

[silverc6 0]

The day I start making excuses of not shooting because there's a chance of rain is the day my gun is going for sale.

[Golf battery 1,223]

So i havent heard back about putting me on standby for a cancellation. Vlad you help run these matches. So should i come by tomorrow or what do you think.

Jim norman runs this match.

 

Just sign up on the website, if you don't show in the morning it's no big deal

[Mikeythumbs 1]

The website says walk ins welcome show up early. I used to walk on but it's been a while I would think helping buil a stage would help your chance

[Mikeythumbs 1]

I also think with the forecast for possible rain that might keep some people away that did sign up
