Title: Take 5 Rimfire World Championship.
Post by: Ulmus on March 27, 2008, 06:50:07 PM
I see that Take-5's Rimfire championship (Last years Ruger Rimfire Challenge) happened today and yesterday.
Will we get vids of this years contest?

We were not involved in any way with the, ahem, "Take-5" rimfire match. They used my name to promote their match against my expressed wishes, and I decided not to cease and desist them because it would just give them more publicity/

The Take-5 club are not people that I, DOWN RANGE Television or SHOOTING GALLERY would choose to be involved with. They are not welcome on this forum, and their executive staff's accounts were turned off several months ago.

I'm sorry the people who shot the match under false pretenses will be disappointed.

Sadly, that is the absolute truth.

Best,

Michael Bane

Wow, That really sucks, MB.  I really liked the idea of the Ruger Rimfire event and hoped it would grow much like IDPA and ISPCA (?) and Cowboy .

It would give lots more people a chance to enjoy our sports.

To bad that it seems it was hijacked!

The Ruger Rimfire Challenge is alive and well!

We'll be heavily covering the official Ruger match, tentatively scheduled for Atlanta this fall.

Hey Haaaaaaaaazzzzz..
 If those of you who are there want to get together afterwards for a get together.. I say "Great".
Let do it.!   ;D ;D I'm game if ya want to.
I'll have to check with the other 2 M's of course.. Marshal and Michael might be too old and tired to join in. ( Like oh yea riiiiggght on that one.. .  ::)  say BEER and they are both knocking me out of the way to get there  ;D ;D )
Seriously, we usually have LOTS going on at an event like this.. but hey.. we have to eat afterwards somewhere.. so it might as well be with everyone, in my opinion..
* and as Bill O' Reilly says....   Michael / Marshal?? What Say You?*

Dates are not finalized, but as soon as they are, we will have a RRC section up and running with all the details.

And a DRTV forum get together sounds great!

Holy Cow!  I had no idea that Take-5 caused so much trouble.  I'm sorry if I ruffled any feathers.

I'm excited to hear about the Ruger Rimfire Challenge being in Atlanta.  I'm gonna have to figure a way to get there!

There is now way I can afford to do IDPA or SASS, but I feel this is "do-able".  ;D

Exactly the way I feel!  They really need to push this caliber / format.  The whole family can shoot cheap, learn, have fun...Hell, there is no down side!

Plus it's so easy to do "theme" matches.

Single action?  Cowboy of course.
Double action or pump rifle?  Roaring Twenties mob senarios.
Ruger 10/22 and Mark semi auto?  World War II Europian campaign.
Walther G22?  MIB ailien invasion.

Or you can mix it up via a favorite book, movie, or show.
Tremors, Dark Tower series, Jericho, Night of the living dead  (gotta do a zombie thing!)

This just needs to be done!

PS: Anybody know where my wife hid my dictionary?  ::)

I prefer to use the old dictionary because It helps me to remember the correct spelling.  Plus I like the "old school" approach.  And, yes, I did find it.  My wife put it way when cleaning up the office.

I also just thought of a great rimfire shooting theme for Marshal'ette.
Little plastic "US Airways" airplanes "flying" around in a mobile set up.

That should relieve some pressure. ;)
