Vinnie Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 In! I will miss the gun factory, especially because my girlfriend, whom I met just weeks after the last Gripmas, is a retired cop and she would probably have loved to see it. Also liked the old cars. Question re: silver bullet, because this may affect how I train. Do you know the RGC rating of the number 4 gripper that will be used?. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I THINK Jedd has a COC 4 under 200 (I am sure he has several COC 4s, but I think I recall that one of them is under 200). Someday I will have to try to SB that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medley stuff getting planned now thanks Awesome! Very happy to hear about the venue, but sorry for the moving snafus. I'll be there, in search of a silver bullet PR, good friends, and a sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. I've been focusing on grippers exclusively for a couple of months, still improving and making a run for whatever certs I can snag before age brings me to the other side of the strength mountain, so I might have a shot at a good SB on whatever you're using. Hey, I could bring my low-rated 3.5 (165!); if we use that, EVERYONE will PR lol. Regardless of PRs, I am really looking forward to it -- I've been to both of your Gripmases, was near the top of the finishers at one, was near the bottom of finishers at the other, and had a blast at both. I recommend it to anyone on the Board here who is considering it - great comps with great people, great venue, great events, medley is fun, just sign up and show up! Chris (Tank) runs a great comp! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
