Bump for a worthy cause. Not sure if I can be there unless my wife can hold out giving birth for another week. ;)
P.S. For those of us who can't make it, there is a stellar raffle. Guns from SIG, Ruger, $300 worth of certificates from Comp-Tac, Surefire flashlights from New England Tactical, and a bunch of other stuff. Email John Tata for raffle tickets, $10 each - john.tata AT comcast.netLast edited by Blind Bat; 07-08-2012 at 10:02 PM.

I believe we will be shooting the following stages:
Outer Limits
Showdown
Smoke & Hope
Pendulum
Roundabout
5 to Go
There will also be a side match/stage. I'm told there the side match will use large targets at a fairly close range for those of us who like the shoot/miss really, really fast.

from the flyer:
160 power factor max, minimum power floor 750 fps
What is the reasoning for these figures? Preserving the life of the steel targets?
I shoot a lead 230g 45acp, at an average of 740 fps, works out to a power factor of 170.
Does this mean I can't use this gun/load?Last edited by SJan; 07-13-2012 at 07:03 AM.

Can't tell which load you can use, but I can verify that light loads are requred to protect the plates. SC plates are designed to produce a clear audible ding when hit and most likely cost more than regular plates.

Consider this, a 115g 9mm in a carbine could reach velocities of 1350 fps and still be under the 160 PF.
Am I wrong in thinking a fast jacketed 115 g 9mm may do more damage to the plates than a slow lead 230g 45?
Im not here to argue I just curious as to where the figures originated from.TY73127

I've seen people shoot factory .45 at a steel challenge - definitely over the power factor maximum.
