Charles, I retired at 52, and if I recall when I first took out the insurance it was under $600 per month, since I've gotten older of course the price has risen. I still think it's too high. I go for a physical a year, as does my wife. Neither of us had, or have health issues that some folks...

Hovis, I'm retired and now pay $992.00 per month for BC/BS in NC for my wife and myself, that's without any health problems. that's with a 2500 deductible per person and 80/20 after that.

The only way to get proper healthcare for the masses is to put congress, the senate, and all federal employees on the same plan as the rest of us. No subsidies either, they pay the full cost of the insurance. If it's affecting them, then they'll work to fix it. Maybe then they'll address the...

Congrats to John Orfield on his first 250 with a sporter and to that fine 750 agg. that he shot! I think I screwed up and loaned you my lucky spotting scope:) Great shooting John!!! Also congrats to Jim Flesher for shooting a 250 with a sporter, I think it was his first as well. Way to hang...

Hovis--Excellent post.

I'd rate the Dept of Energy as non-essential, they've done nothing since 1977 when they were set up. Also the dept of education, let the states run that. Do away with the EPA for 4 years and see how it goes. Drop HUD too. Cut all foreign aid by 90%. Use that money for health care for senior...

I'd like to thank Jim Jones and all the folks at Kettlefoot for all the work they did to put on a great IR50/50 Nationals. As a match director, I know that was not an easy task, one day is tough, 3 days in a row is super tough! Ken Camper and I were talking this morning about what a well run...

Amen Bill, damned right!

Thanks to all who came out to shoot yesterday. We had light rain for part of the day, and rain and wind, but not too bad. The hard rain set in after the match was over. I got soaked cleaning up the old targets and closing the gate, glad I was close to home so I could get a clothing change...

I will be holding a double 3-gun IR50/50 match at Blue Ridge this coming Saturday, Sept. 21st. Gate to the range will be opened at 7:30 AM. Weather should be nice, and it should be a good day to shoot! The first match will begin at 9:00 AM, registration will begin at 7:40 or thereabouts. Hope to...

Jim, Thanks for putting on the match. You did a great hob as did all the others who helped. We had a good time, and enjoyed ourselves. I had a chance to visit with some friends that I had not seen in a while, and that was good. Congrats to all of the winners, and congrats to Noah on winning a...

Ernie, Thanks for the work of putting on the match, we appreciate it. Congrats to all the winners. It was a fun match and I think everybody enjoyed themselves. Ken Camper, congratulations on some fine shooting all day. 2-250's with that sporter and a 250-24X card to boot, way to lay it down...

Jim, thanks for the hard work you did to put on the match. I assure you it was appreciated by all! Thanks to Wally and Joanne as well. It was good to see Wally again and he seems to be mending well. Congrats to all the winners, and also congrats to Noah for some fine sporter shooting! Way to go...

John Higdon will do you a great job. Good man, and knows what he's doing too! Give him a call.

I built a barrel block RF gun a couple of years ago. It had a 24" long .900 straight SHilen Octagon barrel. It shot very well, but was tricky to tune, and wouldn't make 10.5 lb class. It shot a few 2350's on PSL targets. I doubt I'd do it again because I saw no advantage.

("I shimmed the lug until I was able to run a dollar bill back to the lug, centered the barrel in the channel and hand tightened that screw. I then inserted the screw in the tang and tightened it; not too tight though. I was then able to run a dollar bill under the action front to back.'")...

Tom, If you can drive yourself to the range and carry your rifle to the line, or get someone to carry it for you, you aren't too old. Since you've shot trap a long time, I'm guessing you're of the competitive nature, as most of the rest of us are. There is a learning curve, especially accepting...

Congratulations to all the winners, and thanks to all who attended the match. I hope everyone had a good time, because that's why we do it! I can't thank all who helped out enough, but I sure do appreciate it and could not keep up running matches without the help from you guys. Just know, you...

Thanks to all who attended the match, and to all of those who pitched in and helped out. Special thanks to Mrs. Bumgarner(Dexters boss) and Dexter who was nice enough to bring food and a table, and a tent, and provide sandwiches for everyone. I know it was certainly appreciated by all. The...
