What a long, strange trip it's been...

After four months, we finally have the results.

I will leave it to each of you to add whatever commentary you feel appropriate

Thanks to all for participating. I had a great time doing this.

I am a little short on time at the moment, I will add more information this evening - I wanted to get this posted ASAP.

Thank you for doing this!

Thanks for putting this together and all the work you did. I plan to break out of my solid middle position on the next one. (Probably to the rear of the pack, the way my practices have been going)

Postal match-- is that some kind of a freudian slip? (pistol)

[m1911]

No pics of my toys yet, but I used a Springfield 1911A1 with 230gr LRN reloads, and the cheapest .22 I could find, a Heritage SA six-shooter with a 4" barrel. The .45 ammo was a mix of my own reloads and some I bought from a gun show. Sad to say that my own loads were pretty inconsistent, and that's what I used on the timed fire course. Switching back to the professional reloads for the rapid made a big difference.

[Shooter 2.5]

Since we're all adults here and I can act a little childish. I ordered this thing a couple of days ago for two reasons. I liked it and Free Republic kept on having threads where someone would say something about an automatic revolver. Not the best reason for something but what the heck. It's not like it would go down in price. Lousy picture. I tried 4 times but the light outside was going bad. It's a Mateba .357 semi-automatic revolver. They even come in .454 Casull. I can't wait to try it. It even shoots from the bottom of the cylinder.

First Freeper Rifle Postal Match

OK folks, lets do it. I have 15 set of 6 targets. We will do centerfire and rimfire rifles, 100 yards, 10 shots each; all slow fire, standing, sitting and prone. Iron sights, no spotting scopes or shooting jackets.

Freep-mail me a mailing address. I'll post an open announcement thread on FR's main board after I have gotten responses from the postal pistol match participants first.

M1911 and myself are in, leaving 13 slotes open.
