It appears that you're safe....for now.

what do you do sleep with that thing! Laughin' here...........but at one time, I did spend a lot of time with a 1911 shooting 500+ rounds a week thru one. But that was long ago & far away. Send me a PM with an update on where you came down on with your 280. MM

My mulligan target was worse than my first target. Who would of thunk it.
I've always been different with one foot over the line.....

Today, dvnv and I filled a couple of satchels with guns and headed for the hills. I'm glad I hadn't posted my expectations. How humiliating! I don't like eggs, but I'd have them all over my face! I did more weak-hand shooting during this contest than I've done total over my lifetime. But that's OK, since it was only at three yards and not as troubling as I expected. The rules didn't specify, but I did the kneeling shots from a standing start, and that put me up against the buzzer. I shot past the buzzer three times, one of which I didn't bother to finish- .45 Gold Cup, 185 JHP at 1100fps, overtime on kneeling, -4.472": .475 Linebaugh single-action, 375gr somethingorother, went overtime from the dang 5-yard line! (but that's a lot of recoil to recover from!), -4.572": And now, legitimate entries. 9mm Hi-Power, fixed sights (and shiny electroless nickel, to boot), 115gr JHP, 1300fps, -9.4": Ruger Security-Six, 4", 158gr .38 Specials at 800fps, (the gun I thought I'd do best with), -8.7": .357 Blackhawk (old model), 158gr JHP at full power, -6.3": 4" S&W 629, 180gr JHC, 1300fps, -5.97": Ruger Mk 1 .22, -5.4": [img] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/macrabbit/BMK1.jpg[/img] Dan Wesson 1911 shorty .45, 185JHP, 1100fps, -4.908": [img] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/macrabbit/BDW.jpg[/img] 6" S&W 629, 240gr LSWC, 1440fps, 2.537": [img] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/macrabbit/B644.jpg[/img] Bossman, accept the entries howsomever you wish. This was fun (though discouraging).

And now for the camera-lacking dvnv's day- .40 S&W, he fumbled with the safety on one stage and got bolixed up, so re-shot the stage, -3.831" with the bolix subtracted: Legit entries- Dan Wesson 1911, 185JHP, 1100fps, -9.5": Blackhawk .357, -4.756": .22 Hi-Standard, -3.881": Blackhawk again, -3.514": Hi-Standard again, -2.814: I'm thinking that that second tries won't count (no do-overs). But that's OK- he had fun, too.

Nice shooting macrabbit! You only get one entry... I assume it's the first pic? I think your 629 should be your carry gun. Travis

The .22s were the first for Macrabbit and me (the larger of mine, 3.881, was my first). Kind of cheating with no recoil, but we still managed yank our fair share. dvnv

I started shooting it last weekend and a gust of wind took my paper plate off to KS.

I have to thank all of you that entered this contest but were still lacking in overall consistency. I did my shoot all in the head of one rabbit with a bone-stock Commercial Model 1911. Travis has already sent me the prizes and I am happily wearing my aviators, while driving the Ferrari he gave me. Sorry to all you losers out there, but it really wasn't much of a competition...
