Been shooting uspsa now a little over 3 years starting with Single Stack and then to Limited. About 7 months ago switched to Open and having the most fun ever had shooting. Wish I had done it sooner. Have been through several guns, constantly upgrading. Tried 9mm major first, but decided I liked SuperComp better. Lots of good advice above, the best of which is plenty of dry firing so you can find the red dot. It's amazing how that sucker can disappear on you when you have to make a presentation of the gun in a position other than your normal draw, such as weak hand, around corners, etc., and occasionally on your normal draw if your grip is not what it should have been. Then it does seem like an eternity to find it.

I have had great success with Winchester AutoComp. 7.60gr at 1.250 OAL with Precision Delta JHP in my SuperComp gets me consistently 169-170 power factor. I also tried Accurate #7, 3N38, and N350, and the Vihtavouri's were good powders, but didn't see lot of difference in performance so figured why pay that much for powder when results were pretty much the same.

I shot all three, but ended up at the end with the 200's. Didn't feel sluggish to me, felt softer and stayed on or near target better for me. The 165's were too snappy for me, even at the same power factors, but then I'm an old guy.

I am just starting open with SuperComp and using Autocomp. How does it compare with A #7 and 3N38?

Incidentally, I received a response to contact request by Allchin and you have to either cut down the tools to adjust the C-More, or remove the slide from the frame. However, I can tell you that it still does not really allow access to the adjustment screws. I have decided to have the mount changed.

Am I to presume that the May 9th at 8:00 is Eastern time, which would be 7:00 Central time?

I just purchased a used, but low round count, 9mm major open gun. It has the Allchin X-Treme mount for the C-More. The gun has never been sighted in and is in need of being zeroed. How do you get to the adjustment screws with this mount? There are no openings in the mount for this as in other mounts I have seen. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Glad to see you posted that Gerald. Things had gotten way out of hand and I wish there was some way the moderator(s) could delete all that as I feel it reflects badly on the whole sport in our state and the way we handle things with all the accusations and name calling.

I got my email as well at 6:01, as did my son. I can't believe it was wait listed by 6:03!

It's obvious from all the posts on this subject here that not everyone is going to agree with any decision made by those putting on the match. As has been said before, I think it's fair, but wish everyone was required to do it the same way. You stand the chance of getting shut out of LA Classic because you're not from LA, but also shut out of your home state MS Classic because you didn't select the quickest way to get it to Steve Roberts's house. LA's way is especially fair if there are only about a 100 section members and no way to fill up the match. If MS Classic wants a wide selection of state representation, then it seems that like LA the first week should be to allow the first x number MS shooters in; then the next week for the rest. I don't know how many MS shooters we have, but agree that a group from GA shouldn't shut out MS Shooters who sent it regular mail, got postmarked the first day possible, but didn't hand deliver it or send it overnight like the GA (or whatever state) guys did. I agree that MS guys should have first dibs on their state shoot. However, like Mosher said, that's just my opinion and I don't run that show, so whatever Steve Roberts and them decide to do, I'll comply with and try my best to get in. Because it's obvious from all the posts above that whatever they decide to do, somebody is not going to be happy!

Whether I agree or not with what has been decided, I respect their right to do what they did since, after all, it IS the Louisiana Classic. I have enjoyed shooting it and want to shoot it again this year. I will try to get in when it is time for us outsiders to apply, but will also be surprised if it is not already full from Louisiana shooters. However, I do feel Mississippi and other states should do the same. I know many people from Mississippi who have shot the Mississippi Classic for years that were unable to get in this year. Quite frankly, that was not fair to them that they were busy doing other things and didn't immediately print out an application and immediately overnight it. Then again I understand the desire to have shooters from different states or countries come in to shoot it. I guess the ones that put on the matches just need to each decide what is important to them; whether to give the residents of their state the first opportunity to fill up the match; or whether they want a larger cross section of shooters from other states and/or countries. I wish there was a way to do both, but obviously you get into limitations in each state as to the number of shooters they can accommodate and still run a smooth match. I guess it just goes to show the increased popularity of the sport, which is a good thing. If I don't get in, I will be disappointed to miss what I feel is a fun match, but it won't be the end of the world. The sun will still come up the next day!

Are the stages going to be posted? Would just like an idea what I'm going to mess up!

When will we be selecting squads?

I'm pretty sure we will be able to walk the stages in advance. Seems I read that stages will be set up this coming Saturday, but won't be available for viewing until Thursday.

Happens all the time that local clubs with lot of shooters in the area going to a major type shoot will set up stages as much like the ones posted as they can so their local guys can get some practice. Always turns out that the distances, angles, and other elements are not the same. Never has seemed to be any real advantageous or disadvantage for anyone that I know of, especially me.
