You can weld that bad boy back up jer

I heard you'll have a stomach virus that morning. Weird! Maybe next time

Thanks

That actually sounds like an excellent idea for a " starting position "

be sure to get there early and let the match director know that you are new so they can go trough the safety briefing with you typically around 200 rounds, be safe bring 300 in case your miss alot, or need to do a reshoot or 2 I designed a pretty bad ass stage for this month, no steel this time around. my only hints are:

I meant on the thread topic, not the rhino , ha

Bobby just called you out! Oh snap. Bob, what are your opinions on the matter ?

F it, gonna just use a red dot and my 8 shooter and just shoot open division

His wife told him to say that.

Seriously, they make it sound like she was hiding him under her floor boards for 3 weeks.

Why 9mm though? Let's not forget, you never loose any of your brass when shooting a revolver. Which is a nice cost offset in reloading compared to semi autoguys that might get back 60% of their brass at a match, I leave with every single case.

Sounds like fun! ( in a sadistic sort of way )

I'm not Fanatic..a..l... ok yes I am. Look, I realize revolver isnt for everybody, personally - I shoot nothing but and love it. It's always fun when I can beat out the bottom feeder semi auto guys with my " old stupid antiquated wheel gun " while they tote around their $3000 dollar Limited race gun. IMO it's a whole different beast to shoot efficiently, the reloading process is complex, you need to have fundementals and trigger disipline down to deal with the long double action trigger. This either appeals to people like me, or turns people away. But with the current influx of new firearm owners, a lot - of which I noticed are revolvers ( there has been a pretty decent burst of people on the forum here getting into revolvers ) There should be at least a little more interest in the discipline.

Could of swore I was charged when I first ordered, but it came out yesterday as well.... unless it had went back previously and I never noticed.

We call those the jam o matics round here! They are picky IMO, some of them run fine. Others jam every third shot.

Break it down and leave the wood stock out in the driveway in the hot sun on the asphalt. The Cosmo will ooze out of the pores . Go out every so often and wipe it down, repeat as many times as nessasary

Don't think I've shot that one, we did diamond cutter a few months back, turn and engage 4 targets. Thought I did well, made all my shots , decent reload, hit factor was pathetic. It's hard to score proper on those sort of classifiers when you have to throw a reload in.

Most classifiers are either 6 shots, or 6 reload 6 , so it wouldn't matter there, in fact the 6 shot majors would do better on those types of classifiers. And oh yah, grab a snickers , it's gonna be a while d class! Oh snap ! Went there

Time. I think the 8 shot minor guns will inhertitly be faster then the 6 major guns. Less reloads, faster stage time, higher hit factor. Figure a stage with 32 rounds, assume you hit all your shots. 8 shooter : 4 reloads 6 shooter : 6 reloads Figure 2-4 seconds per reload, depending on how fast you are. 4-8 second advantage right off the bat with just reloads.... Now you have to figure in that a 6 shooter will need to take " the long way home " with stage planning to be as efficient as possible, where a 8 shooter can blast right through it. Also 6 shooter will be a doing a standing reload, then moving... whereas 8 shooter will always reload on the move.

difference to what if shooting major? ConFused USPSA sets the rules at 8 shots per standing position don't they? Assuming everybody is making their shots they are reloading at the same points, so you could say that the 8 shooters fit fine in production / L - 10 ,etc.

At our local level , i've been pushing other shooters to start shooting the division, I've converted at least 2 or 3 over the past year. Is it alot? No.... is it something? Sure. as far as ICORE being an alternative... Here in NJ, it'd be no good as we do not have any ICORE clubs , or matches in the state.

I would respectfully disagree with those who would include 8 shot revolvers such as the S&W 627 in revolver division. Firstly, as I said before - This would completely kill off all the s&w 625 6 shooters, even scored minor - they'll have an enormous advantage over the 6 shot guns. Part of the fun of shooting revolver division is being limited to 6 shots, you need to be creative with your stage planning, & accurate as you dont have the room for make up shots. Also, the S&W 627 8 shooters is already legal in 4 out of the 6 divisions currently... yet, nobody is shooting them there. You can use them in production, L-10, Limited, and open divisions. I dont see anybody running out to shoot in them.... What would be different this time around? They arent being used there, why would they be used here.

i've got a bayonet you can have for free, come pick it up in woodbridge 07095

There is alot of chatter amongst the USPSA Revolver shooters concerning the lack of participation in the division. It's not just here at our local clubs, it's cross country. Typically at our local matches I am the only revolver competitor out of almost 100 people. On a Really good day, there might be 3. It is one of the lowest participated divisions. Even at larger area matches, counts are still low. There as been some rumors and speculation that USPSA will allow the 8 shot revolvers compete in Revolver division declared minor. ( Currently , the most popular gun for revo division is the 6 shot .45acp S&W 625 / Major ) Some feel this may spike more interest in the division, others feel it would be the kiss of death for the 6 shot S&W 625 guns, even with them scored as major - the extra 2 shots the 8 shooters have in an enormous advantage with stages with 4 target arrays. So, poll time - Would you consider shooting Revolver division USPSA if you could shoot your 8 shot 38 spl ( S&W 627 ) Revolver.
