I assume there is a bowling pin matching tonight.

[Dale Gribble]

Looking forward to making my first event.

[FLT]

Dale be sure to tell them you're a first time shooter. Jim ,Bud and myself donated our winnings back to pay for first time shooters. If you have any friends That are thinking about trying pins bring them with you they get to shoot for free to.

[Johnny]

Dale are you a member of Talon,If not you need to get there About 45minutes early were you can take their safety course before the match!

[Dale Gribble]

Dale are you a member of Talon,If not you need to get there About 45minutes early were you can take their safety course before the match!

I are.

[FLT]

Dale can you bring my patch with you?

[Dale Gribble]

Dale can you bring my patch with you?

Sorry man. I didn't think to advertise this ahead time and I already gave the Patches back to Crawfish.

[jonastio]

What time does the match start?

[Mikec2003]

7 pm assuming nothing changed

[BR549]

I might try to make it to this one.

[Tack Driver]

I might try to make it to this one.

You'll bail.

[FLT]

New rules. Guys over 65 only have to knock three pins off the table to Win. ;) :mischievous::hiding:

[Mikec2003]

Shit. Guys over 65 get extra pins.

[Tack Driver]

New rules. Guys over 65 only have to knock three pins off the table to Win. ;) :mischievous::hiding:

We should just treat the old guys like they treat women at their age. They're doing good just to knock them over, much less get them off.

[jonastio]

Just got the approval from the wife. What's it cost to get in on it?

[Johnny]

Hey slack ass,your first one is free.just tell them it is your first shoot.

[BR549]

Ok, I'm in.

[Tack Driver]

I might try to make it to this one.


Ok, I'm in.


You'll bail.

.

[BR549]

I'll be the tall buy with the beard and the silver 6-gun on my hip. I need a classier holster.

[Jmoorewar]

Wanted to come but wife out of town and got the mini me's by myself.who won?

[rr53]

I was waylayed. Sorry Johnny.

[Johnny]

rr53,maybe you can make the next one!

[jonastio]

BR549 made it out.

That was hella fun, though.

[Jmoorewar]

BR549 made it out.

That was hella fun, though.
Yea I've only made it to one so far but look forward to many more.so much fun and a relaxed shoot.

[Jmoorewar]

Convence your pops to come out.i wanna go against him

[BR549]

That is harder than it looks! Thanks to Rumbler for loaning me speed loaders! It's a damned shame I never got to use them...I went 0-2 & BBQ and never got through a reload before my opponent cleared the table.

The good news is my wheel gun ran well. That's quite a boom from the 357 magnum!

[BR549]

.

Pot, meet kettle.

[YankeeFingergasm]

Tack you were wrong. BR549 made it there. His boom was distinct too. Fun as hell as always.

[Tack Driver]

Pot, meet kettle.

I'm late, but I show up. I think I've bailed on one forum event in like 7 years.

[BR549]

Must have missed you tonight. [emoji12]

[YankeeFingergasm]

Wait....did you actually say you'd be there Tack?

[Tack Driver]

Must have missed you tonight. [emoji12]


Wait....did you actually say you'd be there Tack?

No, definitely not.

[Dale Gribble]

No, definitely not.

I am pretty sure you did on Tuesday, however it might have been the beer talking. It was taller than you.

[HarleyBrent]

That was hella fun, though.[/QUOTE]

Aint it though! Everybody has good nights and bad nights and pretty much anyone can win week to week.

[Tack Driver]

I am pretty sure you did on Tuesday, however it might have been the beer talking.

Non-sense.


It was taller than you

Drop me in, I'll drink my way out.

[Rumbler]

Maaan, I didn't even shoot and I had fun!!


I get such joy out of telling you guys two magazines into a match to "shoot the white things!". Makes my day. Every time. :p

[thedishdoc]

Damn sorry I missed it tonight. I enjoyed the heck out of the one I did go to. Lots of fun!

[jonastio]

Convence your pops to come out.i wanna go against him

Will do.

[FLT]

Wanted to come but wife out of town and got the mini me's by myself.who won?

Just like last week Tyler and myself for the money. And just like last week Tyler won. I think I'm starting to see a pattern here. :chinscratch:

[Rumbler]

Whatever you do don't tell anyone that this time Tyler shot the entire last half of the match support side. :forcedshut:

[Tack Driver]

Whatever you do don't tell anyone that this time Tyler shot the entire last half of the match support side. :forcedshut:

That's impressive.

[FLT]

Yep . I think I'll just send my $10 with someone else and save the gas. What can I say he's beat my ass four times strait. It should pretty obvious even to a slow learner like me that I'm no compatiton for him.

[Tack Driver]

compatiton

Damn ninja. You literally can't even SPELL competition!

[FLT]

So it would seem.

[Tack Driver]

That could be the problem. Call Tyler. See if he can spell it. :D

[Rumbler]

Now Wayne, you know better than that. Anyone can win anytime.



I seem to recall just this evening someone having magazine problems, their gun hung up, they literally looked at it in disgust, laid it down, picked it back up, cleared it, reloaded it, and won the round.

Or was that just a fig newton of my imagination? :dunno:

[jonastio]

Yeah, the only gun failure all evening was a 1911. :headslap:

[Rumbler]

Actually, it was factually established that it was a magazine problem.


. . . there is a difference ya know, Glockboy. ;)

[jonastio]

Yes, the only problem with my gun was the person behind the trigger.

[Mikec2003]

And to think, when this started, we all called jim a ringer, due to his revolver skills. It seems tyler is a bowling pin hustler, and was just sandbagging at first...or he just got his gun figured out.

[Dale Gribble]

This is a very fun and fast paced event. I had a blast, thanks Rumbler for setting it up and everyone else for showing me how much I need to improve.

[BR549]

Yeah, when I noticed Tyler shooting lefty I asked somebody "is he left handed?"

[Johnny]

Tack ,he might not spell right but he shows up for the matches,that is more than some short people that I know does!He is not and arm chair shooter,and he does put his money were is is mouth is!!!!!!!!!!!

[JMW4570]

Tack ,he might not spell right but he shows up for the matches,that is more than some short people that I know does!He is not and arm chair shooter,and he does put his money were is is mouth is!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think he's been sandbagging . He's just improved that much. If you remember when we started this I said everyone would get better. I still believe that's true. And just for the record he beat me fair and square . And for you doubters both of the for the money shooters were shooting ( wait for it ) 1911s . I believe they were both Springfields as well. All in all I had a great time . Tyler is fast becoming the guy to beat if you decide you'd like to try pins you'd better bring your A game. Just saying------ and shit. :poke:

[jonastio]

So, how many times in a row do you get to win before you're made a spectator for a couple of weeks? ;)

[FLT]

LoL . Yep I'm thinking we need to bump him up to 6 pins.:mischievous::nyahnyah:

[Mikec2003]

Yeah, ive known him for a few years now, a bullshitter he aint. I was poking fun at him with the sandbaggin bit

But yeah, he gets 6 pins and 5 rounds

[Rumbler]

Or back to four cartridges. :worry:

[thedishdoc]

Fair is fair. That's the purpose of the exercise. To compare skills and see what works. Revolvers, after hanging around for 158 years, are apparently still fairly effective! I do think though downloading the mag capacity of the autos to 6 tilts the scale in terms of real world. It does make it fair for the wheel gun guys.

[Tack Driver]

........and the 1911 guys. I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

[YankeeFingergasm]

........and the 1911 guys. I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

We could always let you use a 30 round mag of your 9mm. :poke:

[Jmoorewar]

We could always let you use a 30 round mag of your 9mm. :poke:
I'll take that bet,30 rounds of +p+ 9mm.

[FLT]

........and the 1911 guys. I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

Yes Sir just a coincidence . I'd personally like to go to 10 rounds per magazine and am prepared to do just that . You just need to talk Rumbler in to it. Only one or two guys shoot revolvers and if more of you semi auto guys would come shoot I think we could make something happen. We only have 12 to14 shooters most nights and I don't think that's enough to sustain the pin shoots. So I'm all for any thing with in reason that will help get more folks out to shoot. Hell I'll even loan you a Glock 45 acp or 10 mm if that will help get you out to shoot. But at any rate if any one is on the fence about trying it to my knowledge everyone that has tried it has had a great time. Come join us.

[FLT]

I'll take that bet,30 rounds of +p+ 9mm.

I'll take that bet! We will do it as a side match. It would be really interesting to see how that would play out at the end of the night using the same pins we shot the match with .

[Johnny]

yeah,that would be a true test!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rumbler]

I'll take that bet! We will do it as a side match. It would be really interesting to see how that would play out at the end of the night using the same pins we shot the match with .


Trying to pull a "Johnny" on him I see. Good job!

I think that most of us have seen new shooters come out and shoot the (fresh) pins with their 9mm pistols. It only gets worse for them as the pins pick up a pound or two of lead. Then they show up the next week and all subsequent weeks with .45s.

I see it as a parallel to the 5.56 bowling pin thing. There is theory and there is reality. When they clash, the theorist loses.:roflmao:

[FLT]

:shhhh::shhh::hump::hump:

[Tack Driver]

Good thing none of my "theories" include bowling pins.

[Johnny]

Damn,Tack are you saying your theories are a little on the (short side)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tack Driver]

Damn,Tack are you saying your theories are a little on the (short side)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Booooooo.

[Johnny]

I believe Indiana jones called him (short round)!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FLT]

Good thing none of my "theories" include bowling pins.

We could shoot them in the dark . That way you could use all those damn flashlights you carry on you all the time. ;):D

[Johnny]

What the hell,flt,you saying we can not see any way!hell when you get old

[Rumbler]

Good thing none of my "theories" include the transfer of energy to the target.


There. Fixed that for you, Tack.:smokin:

[Jmoorewar]

My theory is with 30 rounds of +p+ 9mm there will be no reloads.it could be done......

[Rumbler]

I can't poo-poo your theory. I have stood right there and watched while 36 rounds were put down range to knock 5 pins off the table.

But I can say this: Firing five rounds is unquestionably faster. :)

[Jmoorewar]

I can't poo-poo your theory. I have stood right there and watched while 36 rounds were put down range to knock 5 pins off the table.

But I can say this: Firing five rounds is unquestionably faster. :)
Yea,that's true,if all five rounds knock them off the table.i did it with 6 rounds on my first try when I came out there.if I can get some +p or +p+ 9mm rounds ill do a side match at the end and see what happens.

[Tack Driver]

We could shoot them in the dark . That way you could use all those damn flashlights you carry on you all the time. ;):D

I could get behind that.

[Johnny]

Damn,Tack you have been behind all your life,you sure do like behinds!!!Were is is you buddy the mudbug,have not seen anything from him.You know that crawfish back up is that what you are talking about

[YankeeFingergasm]

I could get behind that.

I don't know man. Standing behind the pin table is still risky even with 9mm.

[thedishdoc]

Is there a match tonight?

[Dale Gribble]

I won't be able to make it, damn it. My oldest is trying out for a travel soccer team.

However my next Thursday is CLEAR.

[Dale Gribble]

Is there a match tonight?

Sorry, my mouse jumped right as I was clicking to post (I blame it on lack of caffeine) and I accidentally disliked your post.

[0utlaw]

I restored balance to the universe for you...

[Rumbler]

Is there a match tonight?


Absolutely !!!!!!!

And I am going to try and get a few pin tops cut and tested today so that we can do the .22 thing next week.

But no promise on that pin top cut/testing thing. I've got about 52 projects more than I can get done going on right this minute. :chinscratch:

[BR549]

I can't make it today, poker night.

[thedishdoc]

I think its like herpes. Forever.

I'll be bowling tonight at the Talon Bowling League.

[Rumbler]

I can remove the post. But not just the 'dislike'.

[0utlaw]

We need to work on that.

The only way to remove it is for me to modify the database directly.

[thedishdoc]

The only way to remove it is for me to modify the database directly.That's too bad. Hey I'll have those lasers with me tonight at the bowling pin shoot if you want to check them out before I sell them.

[0utlaw]

Burn some bowling pins DOWN bro!

[Johnny]

Keep going Outlaw,and you will make a big enough ass to make it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[talon2]

baseball/softball/t-ball is finally over. I'll be there!!!!!

[TargetShooting]

Whoever wins this one gets 100-round of .45 ACP from me.

[thedishdoc]

Whoever wins this one gets 100-round of .45 ACP from me.Very generous sir!

[TargetShooting]

Very generous sir!

I hope he's a kid that needs it. I'll do whatever I can to promote 2A. I didn't leave bay area with no purpose I guess!

[Danman]

I'll be there.

[Jmoorewar]

Can't make it again,got the kids solo

[Danman]

First time was great, I'll be back. Very fun.

[Mikec2003]

good time as always, good to see some new faces out there

[YankeeFingergasm]

Glad y'all had fun. I had to work a little late and wasn't able to make it. Who won? What craziness ensued?

[Mikec2003]

I think Danman won the match, can't remember. I won the fun shoot. Craziness was, just a lot of super close matches, and I had a pass through with my 10mm :eek:

and Jim wasn't using his revolver...that's crazy right there.

[Tack Driver]

and I had a pass through with my 10mm :eek:


I was thinking 10mm would be good for this. How did it do when the rounds stayed where you put them?

[Mikec2003]

my slightly biased opinion is that 10mm about the best round for pins. I'm launching a 180 grain bullet at nearly 1300 fps. Suck on that .45.

Put it this way, I'm slightly surprised when I hit a pin and it doesn't come off the table.

But, pass throughs are not common at all, the hardwood in the center is, well, hard.

[thedishdoc]

Once again it was a blast to shoot with you guys and to meet some of the forum members I hadn't met yet. Johnny, Danman, and Gatorvet I hadn't met face to face. Good to meet you guys. On a side note anybody got any H&K USP .45 mags they want to sell? :-)

[Danman]

I think Danman won the match, can't remember.


Man, you are funny.

[Dale Gribble]

It kills me I couldn't make it. What happened?

[0utlaw]

Danman won

[thedishdoc]

Man, you are funny.Danman brought a belt fed Glock and mowed down the pins. :banana:

[JMW4570]

I think Ken won the first round and Mike C won the fun match.

[Danman]

It kills me I couldn't make it. What happened?

Mike didn't tell me an important rule...

[0utlaw]

But you still won....

[Tack Driver]

Mike didn't tell me an important rule...

The magazine restriction to keep 1911s relevant under the guise of keeping revolvers relevant?

[thedishdoc]

Mike didn't tell me an important rule...
Just kidding bro. I know they didn't mention it.

[thedishdoc]

The magazine restriction to keep 1911s relevant under the guise of keeping revolvers relevant?Correct and the last shoot there weren't even any revolvers being shot. I think it should be like Nascar..You run what you brung...If your pistol holds less rounds maybe you need to re-evaluate your choice of weapons. Wonder if they yell "No fair, you're cheating" in a gunfight cause the other guy has a hi-cap mag.

[Tack Driver]

6, 44magnum > 10, 9mm


Just sayin . . and shit.:salute:


BTW, Dan is Da Man.

He has come the closest yet to showing me you CAN miss fast enough to win a bowling pin match. :roflmao:

[JMW4570]

Rumbler... We still on for Thursday? Same game, same time? Jim

[Rumbler]

You Bet!

I have been trying really hard to get those pin tops cut. But fate prevented me from doing it today. Again.

And I burned my hand bad enough to have blisters on top of blisters, so it ain't looking good for getting them done tomorrow either. I'm sure by the time I get the stuff destroyed today fixed, my pain threshold will be topped out. :(

[thedishdoc]

Is it pistols again or rifles? I need to know how to load out?

[Danman]

6, 44magnum > 10, 9mm

That's fine. I'll just start throwing mags/ammo at the pins. :)

Oh, and see you tomorrow, bitches. Mags may or may not be loaded 6 rounds.

[Rumbler]

I'll bring my slingshot just in case you feel the need to get a little more power out of that .40 Short & Weak.:rofl:

[JMW4570]

Rumbler got an owie. Everyone say awwww, poor poor Rumbler!... Suck it up pussy.

[Rumbler]

Hey, I'm putting on my Walrus Team t-shirt, grabbing the post hole diggers and getting the job done today.


I may be old and dumb, but I'm tough too.


. . . wow. That just don't sound right . . . :chinscratch:

[Johnny]

Hey Tack,drag your carcass out this evening.You can not be working that much. We will see if we can get that other pygmy to donate skin for your skin graft,due to the yellow flies blowing you!
Seriously come on out and have some fun for a change!

That doesn't blister your junk?

[JMW4570]

Heck I don't know. Just wanted to see if someone would take internet medical advice from a stranger and try it out.

I'm not spraying that on my junk (nor anyone else's mind you).

Further thought... If someone has got yellow fly bites on his junk that opens up a whole new thread.

Jim, I know you're not going to like the word, but humor me because it's an integral part to the story.

A co-worker and I were talking among a group and I said that women love it when you call them a "cunt". It was in the context of women liking a forceful man and one who will tell them what to do.

He didn't pick up on the sarcasm.

He's a black guy who was with a black woman. You ever seen a pissed off black woman?

He didn't come in the next day. He had a whole new wardrobe after that. She set all his shit on fire in their yard. So, yeah, be careful with that. :D

[Danman]

I'll bring my slingshot just in case you feel the need to get a little more power out of that .40 Short & Weak.:rofl:

I'm shooting 45ACP out of my Glock 21, but save that for those 1911's that continue to jam during the match.

[Danman]

Shoot, I may even bring my S&W 4506. Who knows.

[FLT]

I doubt it Johnny. I might stop by just to say hello to everybody and take a picture with FLT.

Bring a step stool to stand on. :yup::hump: on another note You want me to bring you some Tupperware in a full size caliber so you can shoot pins ?

[Tack Driver]

Bring a step stool to stand on. :yup::hump:

Is this some sort of homo ambush?

:D

[FLT]

Lmao. Ok I give up you're still the king of Smartassery .

[Johnny]

No tack we are not trying to ambush you just bring you pygmy ass out,you can do all of the selfies you want!!!!!!!!

[Johnny]

Hey,slackass are you going to be there??????????

[Danman]

Another successful Bowling Pin Tourney.

J.D. decided to shoot the S&W 460, I captured some of it. What you don't feel is the percussion from each shot.

[Tack Driver]

Good thing he's got an ammo fairy dropping that shit off in bulk. :D

[thedishdoc]

Once again I enjoyed the heck out of shooting with you guys. You guys are good. I managed to advance further this time in the brackets. You guys are damn good shooters. Thanks to JD for letting me shoot the 460. That pistol is like a small artillery piece. One hell of a fireball and concussion. The format was a little different this time which I enjoyed. Looking forward to doing rifles next week. Gonna try to build a jig to cut the pin tops this weekend. I'll post an update on how that goes.

[BlueBronco]

Did you call Rumbler a fairy?

[Tack Driver]

Did you call Rumbler a fairy?

.........and he didn't deny it. :D

[Rumbler]

I was just sitting here trying to think of something hurtful to say. I got a couple of drafts out. Then I realized that I've got this, and it is a chart topper:


"Tack, on average I make more ammo per month than you shoot per year. No fairy dust required."


Wow. Thats gonna leave a mark, huh. :chinscratch:



:roflmao:

[Tack Driver]

"Tack, on average I make more ammo per month than you shoot per year. No fairy dust required."



Only the ammo fairy could turn out rounds in a higher volume than the tooth fairy collects in teeth.

It's not derogatory...........much. In fact, it'd be a pretty damn good nomination for a title. :chinscratch:

[Rumbler]

I could live with it. It is not unusual for me to learn that in less than 48 hours, on top of everything else I need to do, 1100-1200 rounds are needed. Oh, and that is just the 9mm, it does not include the .40, .45, .38 special.

[Johnny]

Damn I like that( AMMO FAIRY) ,but hell that not near as good as a pygmy running his mouth and not showing up!!!!!

[thedishdoc]

Alright Gentleman,

The pin tops are cut and we are ready for the next evolution. My understanding was tops at 50 yards with a .22 rifle.
I hope optics WILL be allowed since all my .22 shooters have a fixed 4X scope mounted and I don't want to take it off.
Lets PLEASE hash the rules WELL in advance of the shoot so I know what's up.

[FLT]

Lets PLEASE hash the rules WELL in advance of the shoot so I know what's up.
What fun would that be? ;)

[JMW4570]

Ok, I'll start. 5 pins (tops) per shooter, 50 yards, 22 caliber rimfire, semi-auto or bolt action rifle. Any sights. Off-hand standing position, Sling optional, 10 rounds max per magazine. pins must fall off stand.

[FLT]

I'm thinking the magazine should only have 6 rounds loaded in it . But the rest of it sounds good.

[thedishdoc]

I'm thinking the magazine should only have 6 rounds loaded in it . But the rest of it sounds good.
Why only six rounds?

[Rumbler]

To make it revolver neutral, silly.:banana:

[thedishdoc]

Lol, makes sense! Ready to run this one. This is how we shoot every weekend, but it's usually shotgun shells.

Well, GREAT! That means you won't miss a shot!


'can't wait. :goodjob:

[thedishdoc]

Cut cards at 20 yards on edge today with .22

[thedishdoc]

Well, GREAT! That means you won't miss a shot!


'can't wait. :goodjob:confidence is high for this shoot. I'll be there with bells on sir.

[Rumbler]

Outstanding!

. .and I hope you know that I'm just teasing. We have both seen what just a little imaginary pressure can do to otherwise skilled shooters.

[FLT]

Yes that and we will change the rules on him at the last minute. ;)

[FLT]

Why only six rounds? To keep it the same round count as the pistol match and some bolt actions don't hold 10 rounds.

[thedishdoc]

I'm up for anything you guys can throw at me with the .22 rifle. I suspect you can't think up anymore than we already do along those lines. We bump that shit over here all the time.

[Tack Driver]

The round restriction is non-sense. I'm interested in this one.

[thedishdoc]

Best get a better rifle.

[thedishdoc]

Correct the mag restriction is complete BS!

[thedishdoc]

I'm bringing my M&P .22 And a Marlin model 60, may bring the browning lever with irons.

[Tack Driver]

To keep it the same round count as the pistol match and some bolt actions don't hold 10 rounds.

Bolt action? I was bringing a lever gun.

[FLT]

Cool no restrictions on the rifle . I like that a lot! I just happen to own some fine 50 meter target rifles.

Me too! Got a real nice 10/22 target model with bull barrel. Kinnda a bitch to shoot offhand though. It's a bench rifle, may bring it too. In case you guys twist the rules. Let me know whats up and I'll come armed appropriately!

[FLT]

Just for the record are we doing away with the pistol match and replacing it with a rifle match on Thursday night?

[Tack Driver]

Are you sure. :hrmmm:

I'm sure that you should have ended that with a question mark. :loser:

[Rumbler]

Anyone who wants to shoot a .22 pistol or revolver is welcome as far as I am concerned.


Besides, most of the guys got their asses handed to them last week so badly (thanks JMW4570!) they could probably use some time to rebuild their centerfire handgun ammo supply.:P


Seriously though, I'm in either way. For the sake of getting out of there before we get locked in for the night it might be smart if folks want to do both to replace the 'fun match' we usually shoot with the rimfire pin tops.

Oh, and guys, bring your younguns, Even if you have to borrow them from your neighbor or something. Hustling 50 yards to setup pins every couple of minutes is going to get tiresome pretty quickly. :cooler:

[thedishdoc]

Yea I had my ass in both hands. JW4570 was on fire!

[Johnny]

Are we shooting pins with center fire pistols or what Thursday,no one seems to know!!1

[thedishdoc]

We are shooting pin tops at 50 with .22 rifles is my understanding. Hopefully no ammo limits in mags.

[Jmoorewar]

Hope I can make this one.

[FLT]

We are shooting the regular match just like always . We are replacing the fun match with pin tops with 22 rifles. That's the way I understand it. If we stop shooting pistols I think a lot of the guys will just quit showing up. The pin tops with rifles is just icing on the cake.

[Johnny]

I agree FLT,if we go to shooting pin tops only with 22 rifles COUNT ME OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! will shoot fun shoot with 22 rifles or pistols!!!!!!!!!!!!

[0utlaw]

They Ayes have it. ^^ This ^^

But I do strongly suggest ammo in the mag limits. Folks need to be able to shoot single shot bolt guns and at least almost be competitive.


. . and this from a guy with at least one .22LR magazine as long as your arm in his big red range bag.:cool:

Agree... Jim

[JMW4570]

Don't get your statement. This is adding something to the traditional pistol match. Come out, shoot the regular match, put the pistols up, pull the 22 rimfire rifles out and keep playing.

[Tack Driver]

But I do strongly suggest ammo in the mag limits. Folks need to be able to shoot single shot bolt guns and at least almost be competitive.


Agree... Jim

I'd say keeping the single shot bolt target guns out would go farther to limit the playing field than mag limits.

Whatever, it sounds like fun either way.

[Jmoorewar]

Ill be there for the .22 match if im not working.

[Rumbler]

I'd say keeping the single shot bolt target guns out would go farther to limit the playing field than mag limits.

I've got a magazine fed bolt action target gun. But the magazine holds ten rounds, just like the standard magazine for the Ruger 10-22.

Keep those out too?

See the slope getting wet clay slippery? :)

[FLT]

A form member has a american 180 along wiith several 177 round magazines . With that rifle you might just be able to miss fast enough to win!

[thedishdoc]

See the slope getting wet clay slippery? :)I think 10 rounds is reasonable but one round is kinnda low.

[JMW4570]

I think 10 rounds is reasonable but one round is kinnda low.

A 10 round max limit per magazine should accommodate most folks.

Hell no. Then again, I find beauty in the chaos of anarchy. :D

Let's have a match where we find rocks on the ground and throw them,then no mag limit arguments ;)

I saw a few folks at the last match looking for something to throw at the pins. Really. :roflmao:


'course, truth be told, I'm not sure if they were thinking of the pins, or the course designer. :chinscratch:

I saw someone at the last match actually throw something at the pins. It was a large speed loader if memory serves :-) Excessive recoil seemed to have affected his throwing aim.

[Johnny]

One thing you have to consider is people using 22s that have a tubleler mag ! what are they going to do for speed loading

[thedishdoc]

One thing you have to consider is people using 22s that have a tubleler mag ! what are they going to do for speed loadingGood question, I thought of that also since I am gonna bring my Marlin model 60 but I figured it would be like the 18 round limit with the pistols on the last shoot. Ten rounds max per shoot. Just guessing though. I'll bring the 15-22 also.

[Rumbler]

That is easy!

"Don't miss".


Even Dan can't actually miss fast enough to win, so . . . . . . . . :p

[Tack Driver]

Damn, I wished I lived closer to the range.

I've got a nice Savage MkII. It's bolt action, magazine fed. But it's pretty damn heavy. Seems that would be a challenge in and of itself in the standing position.

Has someone actually shot a pin top to make sure a .22 would actually move it? It the local physics team is correct, your activity plans are seriously fucked.

How much do you think they weigh? More than a rifle?!

[Mikec2003]

Is .17 hmr acceptable? Its a smaller bullet, should be harder, right?

[Rumbler]

Wow. Now one can see the why behind what "they" say about committees.

Jafar, I have the same bolt gun. It is my Remmy 700P .308 "trainer". It works very very well for that with the right ammo.


Guys, the last time we all discussed this match in person it was agreed on "any rifle or pistol, any optic, seated, kneeling, standing, or prone as long as it is .22LR, 10-rounds per load (magazine) maximum, and it is 50 yards." I added in consultation with JD, that the pin tops will be on a railroad crosstie and they need to fall over, not be knocked completely off the tie.


Unless you mutts get you shit together and collectively put forward some other complete plan, the last discussed and collectively agreed to plan is how I will be expecting to run the match.


Remember; this match is completely 100% optional. No one is compelled in any way, shape, or form to shoot it. The pistol pin league match will run as normal. :)

[thedishdoc]

So as not to cheat I have not shot the tops to sandbag practice. However I can step out in the back yard and shoot one to test it.

I feel compelled to shoot it.

No lab coat. You guys want me to go test one? Now I'm feeling kinnda compelled and shit.

Yeah bro. You can't be all willy nilly with the experiments.

[thedishdoc]

Too late. I set up 2 pins at 50 yards and shot 1 shot each. They did cartwheels. No worries. To hot for the Bill Nye coats and shit.

[0utlaw]

Junk science :nope:

[Rumbler]

Yea Doc, but lets not forget that you just ain't normal. :roflmao:

I agree Rumbler he is not normal,no lab coat,how do we know that his experiment was legentimate!

Invalid result.

[Tack Driver]

How much do they weigh Doc?

Did the .22s penetrate and stay in?

[thedishdoc]

I shot .40 grain blazers. 50 yards, standing. Never claimed to be normal. Normal people freak me out. Be glad to demonstrate the results again on Thursday. But to be fair to you guys we should really move the shoot out to 100 :-) I'm not as good as you guys at pistols but I shoot the shit outta .22s every weekend. It's affordable and shit. There, the gauntlet is down! Lab coats are optional. I'll bring some shotgun hulls to spice it up at 50 if ya'll want to step up lol.

Damn fast typing tack. The pins are cut at the bottom red line. Didn't weigh them nor the mace. You got a weight fetish?

It's relevant. Now get your damn pot scale and measure the pins.

I'll dang sure go for 200 yards. That is where my 22LR Savage is currently zeroed. Feelin froggy, Doc? :)

[thedishdoc]

It's relevant. Now get your damn pot scale and measure the pins.Mmmm..... Consider them measured, they are about 5 1/2" tall, a few inches taller than you. No lab coat required.

Without a lab coat that is just an estimate

I don't remember the any position discussion. I thought we were discussing standing offhand. Thats why I said it earlier. If you go any other position - will you allow rests, bipods, lead sleds, other fixed and or gyroscopicially stablized mounts? Are you going to match up pistols against rifles? My view on this (your mileage will vary) was that we were going to test the skill of the shooter not the expense of the equipment. There is nothing like shooting offhand to test your metal. It is the great equalizer since few people practice it. Jim

[thedishdoc]

I still vote for all positions but no lead sleds, etc. standing kneeling sitting and prone.

[Tack Driver]

I still vote for all positions but no lead sleds, etc. standing kneeling sitting and prone.

:stupidposter:

[Rumbler]

Jim, you missed the following weeks discussion. :cool:

The attempt was to make it more inclusive. You know some of the old farts shake like a leaf (including me).

It was my personal thought that the time lost moving rests, restabilizing gyroscopes, from pin top to pin top would more than likely offset any advantage in using them to compete against a shooter who chose an unsupported standing position (or the like).

But - and I really mean this - it don't matter to me if I personally like the match or not. This is all about you guys. Like I said earlier; you guys workout an alternative complete plan and I'll run it that way.

. . and enjoy the seemingly inevitable fistfight you all get into during the process. :nyahnyah:

Me and Doc already got a side match . . . . for the side match.:banana:

[thedishdoc]

Hopefully I'll have time to sight my shit at 200 prior to the match. However I'll damn sure show and shoot sir. I love that shit. Long range with the .22 is a blast to me.

[thedishdoc]

Without a lab coat that is just an estimate
The starrett steel rule requires no lab coat.

[0utlaw]

Military precision:

Measure with a mic

Mark it with chalk

Cut it with an axe

[Tack Driver]

Mmmm..... Consider them measured, they are about 5 1/2" tall, a few inches taller than you. No lab coat required.

Damn it Doc.

At least answer ONE of the questions.


How much do they weigh Doc?

Did the .22s penetrate and stay in?

[JMW4570]

You know some of the old farts shake like a leaf (including me).


You miss my point. Some of us like watching you old folks shake... And its about the most excitement you guys get being as old as you are... Short of popping the little blue pill, but then you couldn't shoot prone anyway. Well, maybe it wouldnt make a difference with you guys anyway. ;)

[thedishdoc]

How much do they weigh Doc?

Did the .22s penetrate and stay in?Battery in the scale is low and apparently it DOESN'T work without a lab coat. I'll try to pick up a battery tomorrow and stop by Walter Whites for a lab coat so you can adjust your rim fire hand loads accordingly:cooler:
