Welcome Competitors!

Welcome everybody.

I look forward to some good discussions on this board. We have all sorts of knowledge to draw from, IPSC, IDPA, 3 Gun, CMP, Hi-Power, CAS, Steel shooters, Pin shooters, Clays, you name it, somebody here does it.

So lets hear tales of your competition fun. What have you learned? What do you want to learn? What works for you?

So let the games begin.

Ahem!

Highpower is spelled as one word, and with a "gh."

Give us a little respect!


Mr. 3 gin man!

And Bullseye...

Am I forgetting anything else? So let me try this again: IPSC, IDPA, 3 Gun, CMP, Highpower, CAS, Steel shooters, Pin shooters, Clays, Bullseye, Trap, Skeet, antique military rifle, Bench rest, Olympic pistol, air rifle, .22 mini match, Area 51, Lord Farquarson's royal shooting sports, prarie dog throwing, you name it, somebody here does it.

There that should about cover it.

It's Obsolite Military Bolt Action Rifle. "Antique" is offensive to us, because it conjures up the image of old ladies nicknacks. which an enfield or mauser certainly is not.

leave it to Larry to snub us poor old Milsurp shooters.

hey is this hi power thing hard? oh I already did that one didn't I!

well was not planning on buying to much latelly but one of my local pawn shops had this new little bushmaster lower that begged me to take it home with me tonight and its less that 300 numbers off the one I already have.

steve hope to get my new kowa in any day, can't wait. I think giraud forgot I wanted a stand also but will wait and see what lew comes up with.
have about 1,300 rounds ready to go and quite a few more prepped also.
have my fingers crossed on the lavell.
now that I have another lower maybe I need a upper to match.
tired two monday's in the same week are tough on this old man.

if any of you are planning on going to perry this year let me know and will say hi when I get there.

jon
