Taking them apart was never a real problem. Putting them back together seemed to be the real challenge for some!

Rugers website has a news release of a heavily redesigned Mark IV target pistol with a rear push button take down feature. http://www.ruger.com/news/2016-09-22.html .

What is the punctuation mark for period?

Received mine today and it is sweet. Thought for a moment it wasn't numbered but then I saw it.

My first visit to a Field and Stream store was in Columbus, Ohio back in July of this year. This store was actually half Dick's and half Field and Stream under the same roof with a mall like passage between the two stores. They did have modern sporting rifles behind the counter. They even had a Ruger Precision in .308 sitting on the counter. What amazed me most was that a Cabela's store was across the street. The group I was with probably spent twice as much time and three times as much money at the Cabela's store

Any pair will beat my Polish flush, I'm folding!

I see your Bethel Wildcats put 64-37 whopping on Missouri Baptist! So how did the tailgating activities go?

Haaaaaaaallllllllelujah it's fixed! Thank you to the powers that be!!!

My first thought when you said you were surprised by the number of NRA decals yo saw was that you must be in Northern Kali. I tried to find the number of NRA members by state as I became curious. This number may be on the web somewhere but I did not find it. What I did find sort of surprised me. I copied and pasted what I did find below with a link to it. I wonder how many of the 23% live in the left coast state? The NRA is 23% democrat! Only slightly less than the national average for the general population! (The national average is 29% democrat.) The NRA supports ANY politician who respects the 2nd Amendment and the Constitution. They are not a left or right organization. Most of the NRA support goes to the GOP because the GOP supports the 2nd Amendment, not the other way around.

Can't go any worse than this! https://youtu.be/1Wjjs982zZU

I don't know why but I'm interested. Include me in the group for the details.

My best guess is the owner of the gun with the Silver Dollar is a member or shoots regularly at The Silver Dollar Gun Club. http://silverdollartrap.com/shooting-prices/

Got to love a This Is Spinal Tap reference!

I was just sorting through the 5 or 6 partial flats of shotgun shells I had left over from the various trap shoots and the Grand American and I found a box of Trackers. I didn't know I had them and have no idea where I got them. I've seen the promotional videos and read about them but never have shot any or been around anyone shooting them. Next time I'm out I have someone shoot a few so i can watch and give a report on them.

Just recently a friend mentioned that he had acquired a pistol that has been passed down through the family and it is this same model. He asked me if I knew whether ammo was still available and I really had no knowledge of these until I did a google search. His looks almost mint condition compared to the one pictured. Here is another link on the pistol but Wiki pretty much hits all the high points. http://unblinkingeye.com/Guns/Ortgies/ortgies.html

Google Glock KB or Glock Kaboom, The web is littered with pictures of catastrophic Glock failures. There used to be a web site dedicated to them, may still be around.

I notice the muzzle dips quickly when firing starts and rises just as fast when you stopped. Angular momentum from motor torque other is something else going on?

I know this shooting discipline does not appeal to a large number here so I will wrap up my post on this thread with a few statistics from the 2016 Grand American. Total entries for all 24 events combined was 29,755 Targets thrown 3,304,900. This does not include shoot off targets and side events. Probably closer to 3.5 million total targets thrown in 11 days. Harlan Campble Jr. Won (again) the White Flyer 2600 High-Over-All with a score of 2565. Out of 2600 targets Mr. Campbell missed 35. I would not expect anything less from a 54 year old guy with 480,000 plus registered targets to his credit.

Thank you hipower for the kind words.

No worries unless you give me good reason to. When I do they will probably pop in the the Gun Owners Memes thread. I have lots of pictures from awards ceremonies but one of the best things about competitive shooting is there is usually a lot of down time and some really great memories are made then. Some of which get caught on camera.

Thanks hipower! My son and or daughter usually do or did end up with bragging rights, I guess it's because I taught or have coached them both since they started shooting. (I'm going to at least think this eveni if their where other coaches involved in their success) My son came home from school when he started fourth grade and said, "dad, 4-H has a BB Gun program and I want to do it". Shortly after that my then 12 year old daughter watched her little brother practicing and said she wanted to try it. So half way into the program she took it up and having never shot before she was the state 4-H BB Gun Champion that year. I had been shooting highpower for several years prior to this and no matter how hard I tried up to that point I could not get any of my 3 children interested in competitive shooting. Needless to say it was game on after that! They both earned spots to attend the Daisy National BB Gun Championship Matches that year and we attended a total of 6 before they aged out. After that they went into 10 meter sporter air rifle. This lead to individual and or team state champions and more National championship matches. So of course with a scholastic Clay Target team in our county my youngest decided that would be his next endeavor and then add Scholastic Action Shooting Program on top of that. Since my kids started competitive shooting in 2010 I've lost track of the number of Regional, State and National Championships we've attended but they are numerous and my youngest has been quite successful with trophies and medallions that he's about run out of room for. He is 15 now so we have several more years and I'm not complaining. Especially when we attend competitions like the Grand American that I get to shoot in as well. Below is a photo of the first time he shot highpower with me. He was 9 years old then and this was shortly after he started the 4-H BB gun program. Needless to say he has a great deal of natural ability and can master most any shooting discipline, which is not an easy thing to do. The one thing he has not taken up is archery and I will be fine if he doesn't because keeping him supplied in guns and ammo is quite the challenge for the time being.

This is not a great photo but it's one that I took Sunday during the second day of the NRA 200 Singles event. My son and I were on bank 12 and we had a brief mechanical delay going on so I snapped a picture looking to the west from the line. My son shot a 99 and a 97 in the NRA 200 event. His score of 196 earned him runner up in D class. Below is the trophy he won. I did not leave totally empty handed. I played the Jackpot Lewis option in the Krieghoff Handicap event. My score of 91 earned me a whopping $39.20!

You can practice but I recommend you just go shoot them but take the following into consideration. 80% of the ducks that are missed is because we don't lead them enough and are behind them. The other 20% are missed way behind.

I have a hunch it's a TGO Strider, #49 with a Wicked Edge.
