Our club has gone totally to the new Range Master design. Two things we like, no tools needed to adjust them and the base is the same for all the poppers. If we want to change from a full size popper to a mini just pull one out put the other in, the base does not change or have to be taken out. We have built racks to hang them on in our storage sheds, much easier to keep secured from general club use.

I had Primary Machine do two slides, one on my SP-01 and another on a 320 Compact. The SRO does require a plate for the SP-01. I have been shooting it at matches for a year and have had no issues. PM price also includes cerakote of the slide. I am very happy with the work they did.

Stages for the match have been posted on FB Area 2 page and on the match page in PractiScore

This is just a trophy match. We are trying to resurrect this match and it is hard to get a prize table for a well established match. Plus one day shooting format, people are not sticking around for a final day prize table. We will mail out the trophies for those not there on Sunday.

This match was not held last year; the state championship has not been held for many years. It is only 8 stages so that it can be shot in a single day and there is not a mutli-day commitment.

What is special about the mobile app?

I second what dansedgli said about Labradar. I can chrono 5 different loads from 3 guns in less than 30 minutes. If I am doing rifles I can get velocity out to 200 yards easily. This needs a good tripod, no pistol rest to keep from shooting the chronograph or screens. It works any time of the day, any time of year.

The 2021 AZ State USPSA Championship is scheduled for Sept. 17, 18 & 19 in Prescott AZ. This will be a Level II match with 8 stages and will be shot in a single day.

Always looking for staff to work; staff will be comped 50% if you work 1 day and 100% if you work 2 days.

The 2021 Northern Arizona Classic is is schedule for May 20th through May 23 in Prescott AZ. The match registration is open on Practiscore, there are still Thu/Fri squads open. The match is also looking for RO's for the match. Match fee is waived for staff.

I am never a fan of the term "must" because people always find a way to do it but not the way you intend. As you note it is not really freestyle either. I did a Christmas theme match where you had Santa's bag in your hand, it had to be dropped down a chimney to activate the stomp pad. It wasn't so big they couldn't throw the bag ,but the opening was small enough that missing really cost you. I would say if you made a prop like the carry on bag check in the airports you could force most shooters to use the bag to activate. Make it such that it really just fit down into it from straight overhead, was boxed in enough where putting your foot there was not a good choice ands throwing it was not likely to be successful. Most shooters will look at the risk/reward and do exactly what you desire them to do. What are you doing until you drop the bag, are there targets to engage?

I would start the Open/CO before I got to A class in anything. I don't seem to be getting closer to A in Production anyway.

I started shooting Limited as a C shooter, did some SS but that was about it. When I got to B class, switched to Limited 10, brought that up to B class. Then grabbed the SS gun and moved my self up to B class. Fell in love with a CZ and started shooting Production, been shooting that for a couple years pretty exclusively and close to A now. If I get to A in Production going to go back to SS and see if I can get to A there. Did just buy an open gun and have CO too. Could pick one of those and see if I can get them out of C class.

I use 147 but more of a truncated cone. I have this problem on occasion. Usually I find that a bullet is not falling all the way into the rotary. Makes indexing hard or impossible, have to reach in and push it down with something. I only use moly coated lead, may also be an issue.

I talked to them last week, the bullet collator is going away. They will still build tool heads while they have parts, rings and bullet chutes can still be bought. I was going to order a couple of tool heads just to have.

That is a pretty common problem for right handers. You will see a lot of mid-level shooters trying to plan always going to the right even if it is longer just for that reason. As RJH said now that you are aware make extra sure where the muzzle is if moving left and reloading. On not getting caught, in local matches with just on RO they are on the right and would not usually see that. Go to larger matches where a RO sits out on the left side of the stage and you can get caught; seen it several times.
