I assume there is a bowling pin matching tonight.

I really don't care what you shoot, how you shoot, etc. I was trying to get some guys to shoot offhand cause that's probably the hardest position for me to shoot well, next to sitting (and a bad back can make that interesting when a muscle spasm kicks in or a disc starts to bulge). To be honest, I believe going prone to shoot 50 yards should make you want to turn in your man card. If you are hitting cans at 200, where is the challenge at 50? No offense meant here, well.. maybe a little. 200 yards is a completely different game but I and others have hit the gong with pistols at that distance.

Again, I reiterate, I was just trying to make it challenging, induce a little stress, and get you guys (me too) out of your comfort zone of full magazines and completely supporting shooting positions. That's all. Embrace the suck ladies.

I will gladly shoot next to anyone who wants to shoot the same position as I do. Just a warning, if you are all bedded down prone on your air mattress in your air-conditioned gillie suit with your laser optic'd belt-fed, suppressed 22, don't get mad if you accidentally get stepped on.

See you guys Thursday. Jim

I look forward to shooting against you sir. You have proven to be one hell of a shooter. I hope this discussion doesn't get twisted because that is not the way I intended the discussion to go. And I've been stepped on plenty by you shooters. You guys are good which is why I continue to show. I'll try shooting against anyone in any position. No air mattress, gillie suit, or laser optic'd belt fed weapon required. Just real world shit. Do you guys run C4 or three gun with your AR's downloaded to 6 rounds? Just asking cause I haven't been able to make one yet?

I will look for you on the field of battle sir :-)

LMFAO. Im shooting at 50 yards at five pin tops if you have anything else in mind you will have to start with out me and let me know how it works out for you.

You guys have clearly proven you are better pistol marksman than me. It has been proven in the shoots. However I still feel,that if you guys think low capacity weapons are the bomb and mag changes are great and accuracy trumps rounds than you should be able to triumph in the competitions by showing that against all competitors. There is a reason all agencies have gone to hi cap mag fed weapons. I think the 6 round limit is not a realistic test in a real world situation. Nor is a dictated shooting position. I try to use whatever will help me win the fight. Just my humble opinion.

Heck, Thats I all I had planned to do! This ain't three gun or C4. There are lots of shooting sport 'games' and each has different rules. I'm glad we have all these options now. The Talon Bowling League was supposed to be fun - I was trying to setup a standard set of rules (per Rumblers suggestion) so we could compare results. Still not sure how Rumbler et.al. is going to score someone shooting a pistol against someone prone with a rifle. But that's not my problem.


I was trying the get some competitive juices flowing and get some folks other than old guys to turn out. If it takes a full magazine to make folks happy, well then come one, come all.


If my eye's were better, I'd try a 22 revolver at 50... Hmmm.... Wait a minute... Maybe... nah, I'll stick to my plan this week.

No disrespect intended sir. I did mean the competition and nothing else. Sometimes it's hard to relay actual meaning on the internet.

I'll shoot my .22 pistol at 50. Great idea. See now we are talking. I like mixing it up. I may lose but I will show and try.

[thedishdoc]

And with all due respect, I'm not trying to insult anyone or be an ass so I hope no one takes it that way. I have the utmost respect for you guys as shooters and as gentlemen. I'm just throwing in my two cents.

I was benched at 200 sighting the scope in.

Well no offense taken I hope that is mutual. I certainly didn't mean any towards you sir. You are clearly one hell of a pistol shooter. No disrespect intended or implied.

Epilogue.... This whole shitstorm started when I mentioned shooting shotgun shells (which we do around here) and Rumbler invited ( froggy and shit) me to shoot against him at 200. I accepted his challenge. I may not win but I will show and try my best. I've simply voiced my opinion cause this is CCGF and I thought a man could express his opinion on this forum. Hopefully no one has taken this personally because that is certainly not my intention. I have the utmost respect for all the shooters I've had the honor of shooting against! Looking forward to seeing you guys again on Thursday night!
