Your manhood will be beyond reproach. They're still wondering about the rest of us mouse gunners. 
Most of the guys run reflex optics (Aimpoint / EOThingy) I try to vary the COF enough ( from "my muzzle blast just set the target on fire" to "where the heck is my bolt gun" distances) to make the sights a toss up. Some of the best runs we've ever had were made with an iron-sighted M1A. It's the driver, not the car.
I don't have a clue. We've never had anyone actually cross the river and live to tell the tale.
If everyone shows..... sometime next thursday evening. 
The camera makes me look slow.  ..... and inaccurate.  .....and gray haired.  .....and fat.

Re: benefits of shooting the AR10 - My manhood has never been questioned. Sanity, yes. Manhood, no.
Now that i've gotten that off my hairy chest , it looks like y'all are going to have to do it without me. I need to run that new 220 line out to the shop this weekend. (220, 221, whatever it takes) Nothing worse than having live wires exposed with the boys around - "Daddy, can I touch it now? Can I make David touch it? What if I throw water on it? Can you stop working and play with us?"  Are you guys going to shoot rain or shine? Weather keeps looking worser and worserer. er. |

Saturday's forecast is for PM showers, so we should be O.K. We shoot a lot of IDPA (cardboard) targets, which don't hold up very well in inclement weather, so matches may be cancelled due to rain. .....not to mention that soggy RO's can be R-E-A-L-L-Y grumpy.

What's the latest forecast?
That's a REALLY long way to go to find the match is cancelled. |

I don't mind getting wet, but pasters don't stick to wet targets. In fact, I'd love to get some inclement weather training. |

Okay folks, just a reminder for the match tomorrow. SCOOP and I spent all day setting things up. The COF kicks ass, if I do say so myself.
It is E-V-I-L. The latest forecast calls for afternoon showers, so the match is on. The long distance stage on the rifle range will take the longest to shoot, so we'll shoot the first two stages and the Shoot House (this is the best one yet ), and save the long distance stage on the rifle range for last.PLEASE COME PREPARED TO SHOOT!!! We know that we'll be working against the clock, so we want to get a fast start, and move along as quickly as possible. You can help us by having your gear together (mags loaded, etc.) and being ready to shoot. We'll alos need as much help as possible with pasting targets, and resetting steel / pins. See you in the morning!

Thirty + shooters in the pouring rain.
Man you guys are hard core. We really appreciate the support for what we're doing, and hope everyone that attended had a good time. We'll have the scores up on www.csrapistol.com in the next couple of days, and I'll post a link to the pictures as soon as I have it. We'll post the information for the next match as soon as it's available. Thanks again! |

Another EXCELLENT match, but this one was prolly the best ever.
CoF's really forced you to think. Gotta LOVE the shoot house (even tho I think I got unfairly dinged for shooting a hostage - I think the paster fell off from someone elses shooting the hostage. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. )Seriously, you guys run a GREAT show. Ya think travel to Aiken for a defensive carbine match is tax deductible? Cuz I can see LOTS more trips in the future. BTW, figgered out what was wrong with my RediMag. Nothing a hammer couldn't fix.  Really, is there anything a hammer can't fix?  |

Another great match but this one made me hungry. Wish Bobbys BBQ would deliver.
