Palma Alliance

I am shooting the Palma rifle at LaCrosse this weekend, but haven't joined the Alliance.
Marty you should shoot Palma all weekend too!
I'm not quite there yet. Trying to support the Palma Alliance, but..... I believe that my reloading, position, and shooting performance has developed and improved as a result of shooting multiple calibers. Shooting a scope has helped me work through some position issues and highlighted issues with my eyes.

The pledge is a logical step just not sure it is best step for me at the moment.

Free your mind Marty - let your inner Palma flow.
 
at the end of the day, I like shooting more than I like reloading... and the less crap I have on my bench and the fewer choices I need to make about my reloading the better....

Erud - I owe you a picture with my rifle the palma aliance sticker. I'll have someone take a picture at my match this weekend.

I'm with you there. One powder, one bullet, one primer sure makes life easy!
 
Sorry Keith, the rifle stickers are for members only. If you (or anyone else, for that matter) really want stickers though, I can send out the vinyl car window stickers with the Palma Alliance logo on them. I was originally going to sell them, but I think I'll just give them away to promote the club. They do cost me money to have made though, and money again to mail them out, so if someone felt like sending a buck or two to help offset some of my costs, I wouldn't turn it down.

If you want one, send me a PM with your mailing address. Marty, I'll give you one this weekend At lacrosse.

Thanks,
Erik

PS - We also have an order in progress for polo and t-shirts with the club logo, but time is almost up on that. I will be submitting the order for the shirts on Friday, 8/25, so not much time left. If anyone wants a shirt, send me a PM ASAP and I'll get you the details.
 
Nope, just #3. The scopes and 6mm's got us this time. A Palma rifle with irons and 155's did manage the top 800 (799-56x) and 1600 (1596-115x) agg scores of the year at Lacrosse though, so we know it can be done.
 
I'm sticking with it too. No 6mm stuff left even if I wanted to go back. We'll see what kind of fun stuff we can think up for the offseason!

Shot my first midrange match with a Palma rifle and a 155 this last weekend. Left the rifle scope and the 6mm at home :(. It was fun and I shot better than I expected. Still don't think this is going to be an all the time thing, but.......

What Party Marty isn't telling you is that he shot a personal best 799 with 40+ x's in a 4x600 match and actually won the whole thing with his Palma rifle and 155's.

Why would this guy want to shoot anything else?!?
 
Hey Party, I am as of today planning on shooting all 308 next summer (unless 300M USA Shooting nationals work in my schedule at MRC). I figure, that way Erud doesn't have an excuse when I crush him.....
