Utterly brilliant.
Will a 1911 be supplied?
Outstanding!
Yes.... (unloaded of course) Thanks to Jafar for the idea.Quote:

The 1911 toss made me laugh out loud.
I second the glock toss since I cannot throw any thing any wayn that is as near to nothing as I can get.
BYOG and we will toss it... It's for the Children, whoops, I mean the Rumbler... Just bring your money. We can even have a Tack toss if you guys want.
No, I'm a purist. The legend is a 1911 toss, so I'd like replicate that.
I have an old replica 1911 I could donate for the toss.....
So in for this!
Can't make the toss, would love to, but I'm working. I'm sure there will be plenty of tossers there though :-)
I did buy a bunch of targets tonight though ;-)
Kidney Shoot Targets now available at the pro shop. If you want turn them back in once you have had your way with them, the staff will post them and you can let Mike know you support him.
I'm gonna buy a few targets and burn through a box of .380 with a plastic mouse gun.
only feels right.
I am so in for this.
Abby says she is willing to come out and shoot some ATA Trap. Come out and shoot with a National Champion. She says Rumbler has done so much for her that she wants to do what she can for him. We can come up with a per round cost to go to Rumbler! What say y'all?
That would be awesome. You are officially elected to run this op and coordinate with Talon on the details. If everyone does something, Mike will get the help he needs. Thanks!Quote:

I'm so in for this 1911 toss. I just hope it doesn't malfunction.
No further that a pygmy can toss it ,it will not malfunction.Try tossing a plastic gun and see which goes further.
You guys are just . . . . outstanding. Thank you. All. Even Ike. ;)
The object of tossage is on-hand. It will be a real metal replica. You guys gotta know a real 1911 being tossed downrange (again) would result in Talon1 & Talon2 killing us all slowly and painfully. Over several days.
So, while I appreciate the sentiment (especially attempting to improve the function of the Llama [that might work by the way]) I know you guys know it just won't fly.
. . . pun intended.:banana:
I say blue gun!Quote:

Yes, or metal replica. I believe Noose already offered one up.Quote:

A bag of parts being slung downrange by someone wearing a marco polo hat.....yeah,
Id pay to see that..
It's a complete non-firing replica 1911 with working slide, safety, trigger, magazine, and solid cartridges. It's probably 40 years old - I bought it and put it together when I was a wee teenager. It does have one grip panel that is partially broken but I think that will be the least of its worries on Saturday. I have a roll of Gorilla Duct tape to help with consistency between participants. The game will be furthest distance on the fly to first impact. In the event of a tie, the winner will be graded on throwing style and accuracy... yes, style points will count. ;)
It'll either be on Talon's competition range if the steel challenge match is done by noon or the 270 range (by the Conex boxes).
Bring cash - no checks no credits cards. Hope to see you there on September 20, 2014 at Noon. Jim
what is the distance to beat?
Or how far was the original targetshooting 1911 tossed?
I like the style points for tie breakers...
It ought to be quite the competition...
A high noon showdown of athleticism..
(And style)
Replica, good because there is no way in hell I would toss my 1911.
I wouldn't even toss a ziplock bag of 1911 parts,
But the replica toss should be a fun fundraiser..
About to leave the house shortly...
Well the 1911 toss went off without anyone actually getting hit. There were 2 with throws of about 96 feet and had to have a "throw off", which was one at 88'
Was nice to put some names with some faces, several guys from the forum, even a couple ladies, whose names I didn't catch.
Thanks to those that put it together.... Please don't forget the gofundme.com page that highlander started.....
Totally missed this, sadly. It's been a long week and the wife wasn't able to rouse me out of bed.
I planed to be there myself but life got in the way. Again!
It was AB and Tyler. I don't think that Tyler is on here but his buddy MikeC is.
Yeah, i sucked at tossing guns. But it was fun and for a good cause. Tyler and AB are champs of gun chucking
No TS?
His namesake sport and for his mentor, no less.
I was hoping david would have made it out, at least to show us how it's done properly.Quote:

He felt like he was just mis-understood about the 1911 toss, as he was just doing the " fight like you train" thing..
I still would have liked to have had all his empty brass though..and he was pleasant..(and interesting to shoot against ) in a controlled match environment.... not much use for the chinglish to redneck translator since he left...

I would have taught him to toss it straight up and when the bad guy looked up at it, cut his head off. ;)
The underhanded throw did seem to be the best technique.
Especially if going for altitude. I think tyler kicked everyone's ass in that category
