Keep the reports coming.  Many of us are living vicariously through you guys.  I hope to make this trip when I retire.

Knock downs still standing were a miss.

I felt it was a miss, but as a humble brass picker, my opinion did not matter.

General Discussion / Rules Wizard Question 5

« on: October 04, 2017, 02:50:20 PM »

This happened last Saturday at MDR: A "buckerette" attempted to engage a rifle knockdown target, but jacked out the round.  Any of the remaining rifle or pistol knockdowns could have been cleaned up with the shotgun.  She left the rifle target up and did not try to knock it down with a shotgun round. 

The TO and the spotters reasoned that, because buckeroos/buckerettes are not required to knock down knock down targets, only engage them, she was given a call of "clean".  Was this a correct call?

Well Keystone, I love shooting at Oak Ridge.  To bad the match was competing with another match that was literally 5 minutes from our house.

Two more hours of sleep, three less hours on the highway, and a tank of gas; the decision was pretty much of a "no brainer".

Is there a stage with farting around the campfire?  This was the first time farting had ever been shown in a movie.

Seems like Jackalope is making it hard for me not to attend.

I predict the following:

1. no rain until late Saturday night; maybe not until Sunday
2. Mongo will be "smoking things up" for the first time in a while
3. either Tom B. Stone or Jackalope will be buying the first beverage at the "watering hole" after the match

The wife and I also attend the Oak Ridge and Mystery Dog shoots if that would make it easier.  We won't be at Mystery Dog tomorrow, however.

River,

If it is a JM stamped barrel, I will take.  I am not really interested in new "Rem-lin" barrel.

It was a fun match!  Kitty Kat and I were glad we came.  When we left Chattanooga this morning, it was raining small mammals and things did not look promising.  As Anita said, to turned out to be a great day.

General Discussion / STS or Nitro Hull Source

« on: June 25, 2017, 08:36:53 AM »

Do any of you know a good source for once fired Remington STS or Nitro shotgun hulls?

AA Winchesters hulls work great in a 97, but are giving me fits in my doubles.
