Kent: Photo's of the match reports for all three days are on other forums. Bill McConkey won Friday (36 total shooters) Chuck Morrell won Saturday ( 31 total shooters) Ivan Wells won Sunday and won the Champ of Champs (3 match total score) and he played the money so he could buy gas to get...

We hope you are planning to attend. Inducements: **Custom jacket for each of the tournament winners and CofC champ **Optional champ of champs pot, $20 gets you in the pot **A floating $$ award for the first 2500 at Piney Hill (ties will divide) **Good, hot food for lunch on Saturday and...

Greg: Bristol is a NASCAR town. They have far more Motels than most areas of their size. Low end to high end. The range is a few miles west of VA exit 1. Exits 1, 3, 5 and 7 all have motels and eating establishments close. You can go a bit further south, cross the border into TN and have...

Jerry: No shooters have had to put $$ in the pot yet so the list will likely change before we get to May. Yes the AU and GB gangs are coming and yes I'm on the list. So you had lunch with those two characters. Did you check for your wallet when it was over and where was the 200 year old...

Jerry: One of the nice things about going to Kettlefoot is the walk down memory lane seeing the names on benches. I don't remember who bought #2 but will look next time I'm there. Don't look for my name, I was still chasing skeet targets when the range was built. Catch me next time. bob

Jim: Are you aware of the Triple Crown at Kettlefoot on Memorial day weekend in 2015? We are trying to get it started as the "super shoot" of rim fire br. We can handle 180 and 180 already signed up including several international attendees. Happy New Year! bob

Tim: Nothing I said is factually wrong. Perhaps I should ask how you know about the reason(s) for the recent rule change. I know you were NOT involved in the decision process or the re-write. Should you like to share your knowledge, perhaps the OP will be enlightened. Me, I don't give a...

The reason IR50/50 removed the safety rule for sporters is the newer Jewell trigger with safety (about the only option for a sporter prior to the rule change) is unreliable. Spare springs (the part that breaks) are often unobtanium. Unless you have a screaming need for a safety I'd recommend...

My Experiences. I have owned two Turbo rifles, one a Flash original that was a killer rifle. I sold it because every time I took it to the bench my first thought was "oh darn I have to load this thing 40 times". I have big, arthritic fingers and loading it was a PITA. I bought one of the...

Float to the top. Come shoot tomorrow! bob

Bill: Many of us shoot the first two or three off the card as especially the first one often goes wild. The first shot ON TARGET should be on an official sighter. Me, I use the official sighter box corners farthest away from the record bulls for the first few, then (hopefully) drill the...

Don't forget the IR50/50 UL Nationals this weekend. Piney Hill is a terrific venue, one not to be missed if you can get there. Weather report looks good so no excuses there. We will be hosting a 4 card ARA match on Friday evening 12-12-2014 for those that want to try ARA without extra travel...

Just to keep us honest here for the OP. I do not agree with what Pete said. bob

Don: Practice day is not being disturbed. Everyone is usually finished with practice by 6 PM, so should be no conflict. In fact we are hoping for some cross pollinating of IR50 and ARA with the Friday evening events. Won't know if we don't try. Everyone I've spoken with so far likes the...

Wow: almost 4 years and this thread is still alive. My story: When I decided to give up tournament skeet I was kind of at a loss. A couple of the guys at the local club suggested I come to one of the Saturday rim fire BR matches. I made my first ever drive to the rifle range ( it is...

Wilbur: My infamous Verizon DSL is working like always. No complaints here. Hope the server transfer goes well for us. bob

Me, I'm a firm believer in climate change. Always has changed, always will. Those who believe that man has much influence over the climate are full of themselves and/or just want to pick our pockets. I'm a Packers fan. Who cares about the Lions or da Bears for that matter. Today is...

Yes, it can affect both accuracy and function. Remove enough wood to have the bolt root bear on the receiver, not the stock. bob

Carp: You did not say. Did he stand up or kneel on the stool? Don't sell the boy short. Think how much more experience he will have at 46 than you do. I love to see the kids out there competing. They have a ball, their parents grin from ear to ear and the rest of us know there is a future...

I'm so very pleased that the Wright Brothers were not rim fire br guys. Imagine never getting that first thing off the ground. We have been playing with these little rifles for better than 100 years now and we still don't understand how they work. The aviators have been to the moon and back...
