Just sitting around and talking about Bullseye

First topic message reminder :

Well with the rather open-ended of what the CMP will accept as a “Service Pistol”, maybe every pistol 9mm or bigger can be considered a “Bullseye Pistol”.  As for the other stuff people try and sell, I’m considerably open to whatever.  Mostly because I shoot other stuff besides Bullseye.

My first year at Perry was 1982. Back then you could go to the DCM and request a Service pistol, it was given with 2 magazines and 2 boxes of ammo to sight it in. Then during the match another full box of 50 rounds were issued to everyone to shoot. That continued for quite a few years until a 60 minutes reporter went there and got a 1911 and made a show of how a gun can be obtained to rob the local bank. Soon after the offering of a service pistol to use in the National match was ended.

And our freedom is constantly eroded by suckling of idiots…

Yeah the anti gunners will do anything to take the guns. The 60 minute program did nothing more than advertise to all those dirt bags where to get a gun! Chief of Police I think from Port Clinton when on stage said a bank nor store was ever robbed when NRA was having the match at Camp Perry!
 I was told by the AMU that the original match was 75 yards Slow fire and 50 yards Timed and Rapid. I suspect the target was the full size rifle target than went to the 1 scoring ring.
