I just got an IM from Ivan. It seems like he and his 4 brothers Ivan, Ivan, Ivan and Ivan will be joining us. There could be up to 21 hostiles on your stroll through the woods. My neighborhood sucks!

Funny you should mention that. I've thought of sending pairs through this. A shooter and an unarmed spotter. I'll paint eyes on them as well. That really helps them stand out. |

Hillbilly, it was nice to finally meet you! Thanks for the valve springs. The small ones fit perfectly as I had pictured them. The proof is in the shooting however. Here's what they look like along with the plate rack that I carried out of the basement last night. The dogs thought they did something wrong I was cussing so much! The MoFo ain't light.

Joker, you can go ahead and put me down with at least a +1. I will be bringing SOMEONE with me. Either my experienced shooter friend, the girlfriend, or the girlfriend's father who's a big gun guy and ex LEO. All three of these people have shown interest when I've mentioned it to them but I will nail it down closer to the actual date.

Today I made a little roller fairlead for the plate rack. Redirecting the rope upwards at about 30 degrees cut the effort in half to reset the plates.
Meanwhile David the dog looks out over the valley wondering, "Who will make the "Money Shot"? Who will feast and who will get a pepperoni Hot Pocket?" 
Good night, all.

I'm terrible with names as well. I was technically legally blind till 4th grade. My facial recognition software wasn't programmed correctly. I often have to recognize people by posture, body type, hairstyles etc.

I don't want to cause extra work just to save on ammo, since I have a 9mm conversion I could also run. Actually, the way it's set up now there are rifle stages which are on paper or the jungle with non-reactive steel. 22lr will poke holes in paper or clang, so you're good on those. The stages with reactive steel is designed for pistol. A reasonable CCW round will work on those. Dueling tree, too heavy for 22 lr. Pistol cal only Plate rack with 22 conversion, maybe. Either mx hits to drop a plate or we can just lean her back a bit. |

Last year I shot Jokers course with a 1911 just because its my absolute favorite handgun and I dont mind loading mags. I think I burned though 750 rounds and I've got at least that much loaded for this year. Im going to miss all that brass. I guess my point is, dont worry about that stuff. Im mainly going to hang out with other gun guys and play with jokers dogs after the guns get put away. This is a seriously low stress affair.  |
