Registration is closed but they're taking names for a wait list.  You can email Byrl at rosebude@comcast.net to get put on the wait list.

I'll put a bump in for prone shooters in knoxville.  He's got a nice selection of rifle and pistol powders. Prices were very reasonable when  you consider no hazmat or shipping.  Spent a good hour in there with Phil the owner talking about stuff.  He also has parts and accessories too at reasonable prices.

Anybody going from East TN looking to maybe carpool?

It's a model 15. Price isnt bad, but I'd see if any other barrels and shrouds come with it. If not the price is high.

ORSA action pistol range has something every Saturday. First Saturday is IDPA, second Cowboy Action (SASS), third Saturday IPSC, third sunday 3gun, and 4th saturday steel challenge. Pretty much all start at 10am.

Go and watch any of the Action events at ORSA. There is something every saturday and 3 gun on the third sunday. Spectators are always welcome. Every one of the events welcomes new comers. Run what you brung!

CB's for shorthaul communications or SSB radios for a little further out. There's still a lot of noise out there. Sevier county folks interested pm me if you're close and interested. Safety in numbers, plus pooled skills.

Check out loadmastervideos.com for setup and troubleshooting tips. I load pistol on my loadmaster and little trouble with it. Even with the priming system.

Your galco holster will probably be fine. You may/will be running from point to point with a loaded pistol in your holster so you do NOT want the gun falling out. A positive retention, ie thumb snap or locking doodad is not a necessity in the holster. Most IWB holsters are adequate for good retention of your pistol. OWB's can be fine too. Put your unloaded pistol in the holster, holding just the holster, turn it upside down. If the pistol doesnt fall out your good to go.

I'm assuming 9 AM kick off?

I beleive it's the same shotgun basically as the winchester 1300 action wise. I've got a 1300 with a barrel of the FN on it and it was a direct replacement...

That's the John Sevier Range, TWRA owned and operated off rifle range rd. You can go up there any time of day pretty much. Have not been in a long while but it used to be an hourly type fee if I remember correctly. You can also try the norris PD range. Stop in the police department in norris for info and fees.

Just to throw in $.02. Most single riders are courteous and dont present a problem to motorists. It's the pack of 3-20 Tour De France wannabes that seem to be the problem. I live in a rural area. When weathers decent I see two to five riders a week at most on the road. These guys move over to the shoulder and cause no trouble. Now come the weekend, forget about it, the packs are out and they do in fact take up the whole lane because they wanna chat with their buddies. I'm sorry hikers know single file on roadways, how come bikers cant do same?

3-4 here at the foothills of the smokies. Still coming down. Roads covered. But then again I'm rural so no surprise there.

I agree. It's definitely quicker to load individual topics. Thanks David!

Can the facebook plugin be disabled on an individual basis? Reason I ask is because I get a slow initial page load when going into a topic. If I look down in the notification/activity bar I see the waiting for facebook.com/plugin more often than not. I'm using IE8 on windows 7. I dont have the facebook connection on in my profile and I did look through all the settings but may be I missed something?

Their "canned heat" in just about any caliber is pretty good stuff. I shot a fair bit of it before getting into reloading. It is really a good value when you can pick it up at a show and dont have to pay shipping. Their attendance at the shows varies alot though.

I know some of you Sevier County guys dont like to drive all the way out to ORSA on saturdays for the various shoots. So I drive out for the first Saturday for IDPA and 3rd sunday for 3gun. If you want to meet in seymour and carpool shoot me a pm.

My gf watches it religiously. I just saw a couple of episodes this week and all I gotta say is the chicks are pretty hot.

You can get em in pink too! My wife picked one up when we were down there. Seriously it's worth the drive if you like 1911's and good folks to deal with. Make it a journey , hit gun shops along the way to stretch out your "bang for the buck"!

If they were out on lend/lease, they theoretically could end up back at CMP Which would make CMP very happy and a lot of shooters very happy, If they came back in the regular retail channel can you imagine the prices in this makret? So the question comes down to were they "sold" to SK or just on lend/lease? My guess it's a mix. And this is not in any way to disrespect CMP, but if you were the CEO over there and had a chance to score a 100K rifles wouldn't you get involved?

Gunny's had a change in management but the actual ownership remains as it was when opened. They dont quite get how to be gun guys in the gun business. They're just trying to run it as any other business. It doesnt work so good. They could be a heck of a lot more successful like TCGD, Hero Gear, Predator Custom, if they looked around and tried. I honestly think they're trying to squeeze every penny out of it so they can get out of it without too much loss. They jumped into the business because it sounded like fun and did not treat it like a business from the start. I see this happening in gun shops everywhere I've been to. They'll be gone before too long. Customers are what keeps the doors open and the dollars rolling in.

If bigbovine doesnt take you up on the pup, I beleive I will. PM me.

Can the quick navigation be set to remember what forum you're at so you dont have to scroll all the way up/down to jump between different forums? Right now it jumps straight back to the top. Using IE8 in Windows 7

Yeah it will be in bay 7 so not in the way of the USPSA/IPSC shoot.
