I'm just stumbling back on this thread. Thanks for the tip - I see that now and thank you for pointing that out, I will make a point to get that right. That was the only movement stage, so the flap remained closed, but not locked/pinned on the other stages so I could just draw normally. I'll gladly take any roasting with a grin and try to get better.
If you guys like Fudd stuff, I run a FB group called Fuddrunners, and also a site called
http://vintagemultigun.com/, where they run in 'dega with the CMP. About as close as you can get to Medal of Honor. On the video page there's some FPS vid of the carbine/1911 with bayo action and such. I'd totally run it again, but Rona...
Thanks to all that served!1KPerDay - I Dig that footage, I love how the whole plate rack fell down on the 2nd shot (I count that as they all got scared and just ran away)..man thats awesome.
I don't have to use that bag, but I went through a bunch of trouble modding it so I figured Id run it. I got bored and took the shotshell boxes and reinforced/waterproofed them with packing tape leaving the top ears pointed up for dividers and just dumped ammo/mags in there.
Of course being my first match I had buck/slug and bird all organized and pistol mags in another box and the Garand clips just stuffed into the shoulder strap (Which did work Excellent!). Brought extra ammo, and all but they only ran birdshot targets.
I kind of used this match as a scout test run, Glad I did and it showed a few issues to work on. I've been working a lot of loads for the 1911 and the new 97 and I think my problem was just a dry gun on the 1911 along with a bit short COAL on my ammo. I just got new CMC POWER RAIL mags to run the 1911 - Never seen them before, they have a folded over and crimped double walled feed lips for only 10$ more. Only ran them a tad but dang they look stout. Next match I'm hoping to run the 97/garand/870 with a bit of a speedier setup, but I sill still need a holster. That Crapplus holster won't fit the 97, so I'll have to work something up.
More to come!
