edited July 2010 in Perry Shooter Competition Shooting and Reloading Forum
He was kind enough to impart some sage wisdom to help me with timed and rapid fire shooting. The 45 loads I brought shot well enough slow fire, but the nut yanking the trigger timed fire was spraying lead all over the target.

He is a fine fellow with the patience of a great teacher. Looking at some of his firearm collection had me drooling all over his carpet. We have some photos and as soon as I can get home and load them on photobucket they will be posted.

I love competitive shooting and am excited about getting back into the swing of things. Looking at the air operated target turning machine at the range has me thinking a guy could build one with some pipe air hose and several days to tinker.

Thank you Perry Shooter!!!! We had a blast!

    Hello I will invite any G.B. member to come visit . I an "slightly " over the hill in my Competitive shooting but still enjoy Coaching and love to talk. I am a member of a Rifle and pistol club that lets me run a pistol Bulls-Eye Program> I have a number of personal TOYS Ransom Rest. Professional Chronographs. and automated controls to operate a 24 point covered firing point range with turning targets. I only wish Bpost could have stayed longer and we could have shared a Brew or more . After 6 or more I might have been able to change his mine about loading with a Star Progressive Press. [;)][:0][}:)]. "PRAISE THE HARD-BALL GUN"

    Hello My Club is located 5 miles south of exit 120 of Interstate 64 in Virginia, Charlottesville . Hope that is within Driving Distance Cheers Karl

    I live way out in the land of toothless hillbillies in Meigs county OH at the T-intersection of two dirt roads, on top of a hill. It was just over five hours to get to the range from my home. The range is in Charlottesville VA, just off of I-64.

    Karl has been a great help to me, 1911 values that are right on the money. Great guy to do business with, does what he says, when he said he's going to do it. A great guy to visit with on the phone. I only hope I can get back down in his neck of the woods again, and pay him a visit. A true gentleman.

    Staged for the photo by better half, no body else at the range, gun pointed down range. [;)]

    Indeed I was at the second firing position, it is an VERY nice range!

    Next time I go there maybe you can come and do some paper punching too! [:D][:D]
