Originally this match was a grudge match to determine which platform could go the distance of 1000 rounds without a problem. It was limited to glocks and 1911's.

One problem that developed was that many folks (some who traveled a good deal) were out of the competition early due to problems. This way everyone got to shoot 1000 rounds and we recorded the problems they had. In most instances the shooter was able to correct any problems and continue the course of fire, but sometime not.

This was also the first year that the invitation was not extended on the net or forums. 52 people were sent invitations and about 12 or 13 showed. that is pretty common based on past invitations and turn out.

With the cost of gas and ammo that was a pretty good turn out. If you want to attend find someone who will sponsor you.

The pneumatic stage DNS talks about was 50 targets presented and each target was available to be shot for three seconds and there was a 4 second time gap between runs plenty of time to reload. About the best anyone could must was 36 or 37 hits. Not tough but you had to hit the targets and not get rattled when they went up and down.
