  1. I  own a 550 and a 650.  Once I got used to the 650 I didn't want to go back to the 550.  I use my 650 for small primers and my 550 for large primers.  Cannot go wrong with either.

  2. Thank you so much for sharing their story.  This is one incredible family, both in shooting and in faith.  My family has had the pleasure of watching their children and parents progress and they are remarkable.  It is such a pleasure to enjoy their friendship !!!!  Hope to shoot with them soon.

  3. This is outstanding.  The history of what we are so excited about.  Wish my family could have meet China Camp..  Remarkable video.  Didn't see pictures of to many young shooters.  Hope more people contribute.  Thanks to those who are sharing.

  4. Our competition rifles are by Palo Verde Gunworks.  When you go to someone like Rich, he is fine tuning that rifle for world class shooters.  He stands by his work and is completing the work himself.  He puts in both 4th and 5th generation actions.  You do need to shoot other rifles and feel the difference.  Often it is the personal touch that makes a difference.  I highly recommend you shoot various rifles before you spend the money.

  5. While I am in favor of total time, I want to congratulate all the champions of rank point matches.  I believe rank pt matches are very strategic in knowing how to shoot them and can understand their challenge.   Just to help those that are having a tough time understanding the problem shooters have with rank points, I want to share the difference between two stages and times at EOT.  On stage 7 a score of 21.18 had 199 rank pts.  On the same stage a 5+/- second faster score of 16.17 had 36 rank points.  In the 5 second difference there were 163 shooters who shot between the 5 second difference equaling 163 rank pts.  On stage 6 a score of 31.41 had 200 rank pts. while a 5 second faster score of 26.38 had 88 rank pts, there was  a 112 pt difference.  A miss, fumbled shotgun reload, rifle jam cost more on stage 7 than stage 6 costing the shooter 51 more rank pts.  A championship won in the 1990's is just as hard to win as championship win in 2017.   While I know there is more to it than this one illustration, I hope it helps understand the differences in opinions.

  6. Thank you for the recognition of the champions at EOT in the January Chronicle. As a proud father this was nice to see. It also was very informative to learn more about Missouri Lefty. The chronicle also was informative of the other champions at state, regional, divisional and national champions. Thank you for your hard work and recognition. Always enjoy see how other shooters are competing across the world.
