Music City Tactical Shooters Sept 4 Match

[energizzzer]

My son (12 yr old) and I ventured out to spectate last month. Work got in the way and prevented us from returning to participate. We've cleared the calendar for Saturday. Count the two of us in. Reshoot poor stages? Geez, I might need to tow the trailer to carry all the ammo we'll need...

Our goal is to become better shooters. Therefore, we're open to suggestions. Can't wait!

HOGNUT, et al: Can I use a IWB holster worn at 5 o'clock? I never carry OWB so I'd rather not practice that way.

[kcevans]

Paddle holsters work well, Heck Hognut has been known to draw his hand gun and holster together, because he's so FAST.

[gsbell]

IWB at the hip or just behind is fine. If you go to far back it will be very difficult for you to draw and keep your muzzle down range. Failure to do this would be a safety violation. IDPA was founded to more closely simulate self defense scenarios but it does have to bend a bit for safety considerations. A lot of people carry at the appendix or even a j-frame in a pocket, all perfectly acceptable in the real world just not at a match.

[Mike]

Why is appendix carry prohibited?

[gsbell]

Mike,

Pretty difficult to draw or re-holster with directly covering major portions of your anatomy. Again to be clear I'm not debating this as a valid concealed carry option just not suitable for competition.

[RWF]

Where is all of this aggression coming from? Its coming in from all directions. Feels like mortar shells around me!!!!!

cause of the sand bagging, hell one of your buddies has already moved up to Expert at the masters.

even Wanda is shooting the IDPA Nationals (squad 6)this year in ESP Marksman.

RWF, I can't believe YOU are calling someone a sandbagger. Aren't you the one that buys a new gun and switches division every time you get bumped up?

I think the expert thing is a mistake!

what are talking about! check with the IDPA HQ i am just a 5 gun marksman.

for you expert is just the begining!

[HOGNUT]

i will be setting up, shooters meeting, registration, SO'ing and shooting 3 divisions tomorrow.

Robert,

I do not want to hear any belly aching when I make expert(master is not possible since I will throw a shot on purpose).

Robert,

I think you will make master or expert tommorrow also. This is all dependent on how much crap to smack down.

[HOGNUT]

I see you on the forum.....waiting

[gsbell]

[HOGNUT]

Crickets.......crickets

May buy some of Bell's special rounds instead of factory loads to put the pimp slap down on Robert!!!!!

[HOGNUT]

Maybe you should call instead of one finger pecking on the keyboard

He's skeered!

[gsbell]

Maybe Wanda will have to post a rebuttal for him.

[RWF]

He's skeered!

What! hell hognut could not even beat Wanda at the last match!

[RWF]

nope, we will be on the DARK SIDE tomorrow, yes feel the power of the DARK SIDE!

He's shooting USPSA today because he's afraid if he shoot's the classifier he'll get bumped up and have to buy a revolver.

[gsbell]

Yea he is running out of divisions to sandbag (trophy hunt) in.

[Mike]

Had fun. I didn't shoot as well as I had hoped. Got sharpshooter in SSP and Marksman in SSR.

Had some ammunition trouble with the revolver. I was using some ammo I had taken with me to a class and it had gotten rained on and soaked through. What a surprise it was when I got to chamber #2 and got a click instead of a bang.

Maybe next time I can get into sharpshooter with the revolver.

As usual, I had a blast. And regardless of the score I was happy to be out on such a nice day shooting.
