Only ONE Mosin - - - Rookie!

319 Dry Branch Rd. Dixon Springs TN 37057 GGC is no more. Now called The Middle Tennessee Sporting Association.

My current "Gentleman's Hotrod." Cadillac CTS V-Sport. Twin turbo V-6, 420HP. 0-60 in 4.4 seconds, 1/4 mile in 12.8 seconds, top speed 172mph. Had to "Import" it in from Texas. Cadillac only makes about 500-600 of them a year.

Fun Day, Good Match. Hey..., Where was Dan?

jmecklen, The wide FL allows the use of cover as we did under the old rules, and also the way most of us have been trained to do using standoff from cover. Using movement around the cover to expose each target, the wide FL will let the shooter arrive where we would have under the old rules to engage the last target. In this regard the wide FL is sort of a limit of advance around the cover. And Yes...., based on the statement from the link it also appears that the Gamers can rush full-speed directly to the wide FL fully exposed to all targets and engage each target as they would have appeared if they where actually using cover. Yet, I think the wide FL is necessary. Based on some the tight FLs that I have been seeing at local matches - - - nearly 90 degrees from the edge of the cover - - - there is little to no way to correctly employ standoff from the cover, it forces the shooter to crowd cover leaving little or no room for actual movement.

PC7, thanks for the link. A lot of MDs are putting their Fault Lines in too tight using the first target presented as their base for cover. This results in folks crowding cover and worst hooking their weapons around corners to shoot the additional targets. When the idea of FLs was first brought up in IDPA a few tears ago, the idea was that there would have to be a FL for each target as it would appear as you sliced the pie. It didn't take long for everyone to realize that this would be unmanageable, some points of cover would have 3-4 FLs! IMHO, the last target that will be presented from the point of cover is the one that decides where the FL goes and it seems that is what the ruling you linked to is saying with the statement, "A wide fault line does not mean a shooter cannot use cover and pie around a barrier or wall."

Yup! He was issued his yesterday. Said its the best Glock that he has ever fired and he has been shooting them since he was 14 years old.

Yup.

Clarksville PD is dropping their Glock .40s and converting to Gen5s in 9mm. I'll check with my son once his is issued and see if their frames have reached perfection with a bevel.

I think the next great wave of MILSURP firearms will come along in about 10-15 years...... ....... about the time our Wills are read and the Executors begin the settle our estate.

I didn't even know that we had a BoD...., figured we where just a loose association of fellow trigger pullers.

From the MTSC facebook...... "Come join us next Saturday, November 25th, for our monthly IDPA match. 5 fun stages. Sign in starts at 9:15 and first shots are at 10:30."

El Guapo & slowsure, thanks for putting together a great match yesterday! Really like the stages that allowed the shooter to decide which firearms to use. The Slug "wildcard" was an interesting twist. See Ya'll next Feb!

Will this be the last MTSC 3Gun for this year?

WOW! Royal Range did build their backstops right!

That is 173rdABN's mini (DTV Tactical). Not blanks, but German 7.62x51 training rounds (blue ammo) that fires a plastic bullet. Full power 7.62 NATO M80 FMJ ball ammo would have made a mess of Royal Range's backstop!

Congrats to my son Matt for the overall win! I'll claim a family team win also since I built up the AR he used.....

Well....., on WLAC Ch5 Delanie Walker just said that he didn't care if anybody comes to the games. ".... And the fans that don't want to come to the game, OK, Bye!" - Delanie Walker http://www.newschannel5.com/news/fans-and-players-weigh-in-on-national-anthem-protest FINE! GOOD BYE!!!!!!

I was in a secure location receiving a Top Secret briefing along with the JSOC Deputy CG and the incoming 75th Ranger Regiment Commander (a good friend). And then the briefing was stopped...., and everybody got very busy. For the next three years I saw my family for a total of 109 days.

Perfect timing! My Bulldog and I take our after lunch nap around that time and the darken room will be nice.

"..... Just when I think we're Out....., This Thread Pulls Us BACK In!!!!!!"

Another Fun Match with the GRGC folks. Good stages, my son and I really enjoyed the day!

Six stages and we finished up in less than 2.5 hours! Amazing what a group can do when they are wanting to get out of a 107 degree heat index day...... Great COFs Jcoop. Now you need to get a .38 Super like the rest of us true aficionados of the 1911.

This was posted on the MTSC facebook page last night. "Join us this Saturday, July 22nd, for our monthly IDPA match. 6 stages, about 110 rounds minimum. Gonna Be a hot one so bring lots of liquids! Sign in starts at 9:45 and first shots at 10:30. Sorry for the late post."
