221 Fireball

Guess .22s won't work on those plates? Have you tried?

Are you having any sort of class breakdown? Or is everything lumped together?

Are those scores posted anywhere?

I plan on going. Where again is the link to sign up now? I can't find it on their website.   But then, I'm not too swift on computers either ... not in my generation's genes.  :shrug:

My nod goes to the CZ out of your three choices, but if you want to try a 1911, I'll have my Range Officer there.    I owned a Gold Cup, it was a nice Bullseye gun, but sold it after I quit that sport. I bought a Springfield 1911 after that, and two more once I jumped into IDPA with both feet. Ya might say I'm partial to Springfields, they run well for me and won't break the bank like the upper end 1911s.

Where do you post the scores now Michael? Inquiring minds want to know, especially since my fellow Master Marksman Joel is moving on up!  :pleased:

I've killed a lot of deer in my 60 years of life. From .221 to .300 WBY, they all worked well if the shot placement was right. My current deer battery is a 7mm/08 and a 6.5x55. I've shot some big deer in the past 6-7 years with these two rifles and I'm sure the deer couldn't tell the difference, all piled up pretty hard in the results.    I have found I actually enjoy shooting these lighter recoiling rifles all year round, which in turn, helps my shooting ability come hunting season. I sold my ultra-lite .300 Weatherby many years ago and do not miss it!   But not to totally hijack Pete's thread ... the Ruger does look interesting for sure. But Pete, if you're going to dabble in long range shooting, get a caliber that's recoil tolerable to YOU, and don't worry about what everyone else is shooting. Take baby steps in distance as well.   Long distance is in the eye of the beholder, and his/her ability as well. Whether 100 yards or 300 or 600, etc., can all feel good when you consistently punch that bullseye.

Fun day and we beat the rain! Thanks Robert!

I thought all the money we spend on hunting and fishing licenses, as well as boat registration funded ALL TWRA operations. 

I collect Smith & Wessons. I carry a fugly Ruger LCR .38.   At 13 oz, it rides light in an IWB holster and the double action rolls over nice and smooth. I like the +P rating too, as that's my carry ammo.   But a 442 is sweet too and definitely beats the Ruger in the beauty contest.  :pleased:   (As far as the new locks, I don't like them, but I've got a friend who competes with a post lock and has fired hundreds of rounds through it with no hiccups.)

  I think King learned that you don't bring a five shot gun to a six gun match!  :pleased:

Oh yeah ... what role models we have for our kids today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RqMflGzRjY   I miss those cowboy western Saturdays. 

Shot shells are great entertainment for shooting "wood" bees (look like bumblebees) when they're buzzing the clover in spring. Thinking it should be an Olympic sport of some sort!

FYI, Houston's in Mt Juliet no longer processes deer, but Lebanon Meat Locker in Lebanon on Market St does. I think they still may be a Hunter for the Hungry donation point also.     Oops, sorry Greg, I see you beat me to posting Lebanon Meat Locker  :up:

Too bad he didn't have video when we shot again at strong hand 7 yrds. We both made clean sweeps but his "end" popper fell a nano second before mine.   Of course I taught Kenneth everything he knows ... but then he went and added that "speed" thing and wrecked any chance of poppa ever catching him again  :yuck:

It was a fun match, hope you guys do that again.   I'd love to try it with .22 pistols.

  Sure got to love a humble (and gracious) shooter  :pleased:

Interesting topic, looks like iron sighters will go the way of fly fishermen and recurve/longbow shooters ... damn elitists!  :rofl:

Concealment cover required Joe?

Anyone up from that way know if Green River Gun Club is still shooting an IDPA match this Sat, 10/24?

I like my Walther PPK .380 ... reliable and accurate. It's thin, so works in an IWB holster well, but a bit heavy, though the weight helps for better fire control.

I cannot find final posted scores, not even on the IDPA site or practicescores. Anybody have a link?

Good luck to those TGO members heading to Tulsa, OK this week to shoot the World Championship. The home boys will be rooting for ya!  :woohoo:   Post if you're going. I know there's at least a half dozen making the trip, including my son, Kenneth, aka Itchytriggerfinger. 

The Squad Chic was awesome ... many thanks to her from this tribal elder of our group for taking care of score cards that normally just confuse me.  :pleased:

Thank you ... good shoot yesterday at Dickson, enjoyed it.
