Beyond it All

Beyond it All (9/11)

  1. This is the first I’ve heard of a “low mass ball”. Is it just a little smalller than the stock ball?
  2. While I do like and will compete with Burris scopes, I tend to agree with you that their red dot is not up to par for competition use. I have a couple of them, and had used them for a bit, but I've since moved on to Holosun and Trijicon. I put one of the FF3 optics on a revolver I never shoot, and the other one? Heck, I can't even remember where that one is. Good luck with your optic, I will pop over to your website and check it out. I'm not sure when I'll be ready to buy another optic, but the simple fact that you are here is good enough for me to add it to my list of considerations when it's time for another red dot.
  3. This is an interesting question and has me thinking. For a scope, I will only buy something with a no BS lifetime warranty like Vortex or Burris. That's mostly because I shoot them very little, and hopefully someday my kids/grandkids will get to play with them and I like knowing that they won't have to worry about any optics issues. I have a few scopes on rifles I've shot less than 5 times in the last 10 years, I don't put the batteries in them, so I would have no way of knowing if the electronics were defective. If it's a Vortex or Burris I don't have to worry about it. For a handgun/PCC red dot, I went through a few before settling on the SRO for my pistol and a Holosun 510 for my PCC. I'm sure the warranty may have been part of the decision, but they just seemed to be the ones that I liked the most.
  4. I don't think we should keep score, it only ends up hurting someone's feelings and just isn't fair. I think you should get a trophy just for showing up, even if you don't participate. Geesh, leave things alone. Not everything has to be "fixed"...
  5. Unfortunately, that is not the case in the states that I shoot in...
  6. Whatever you do, don't watch the Grand Master that shot just before you and think, "hey, I can do that"? That has yet to work for me, but for some reason, I keep trying...
  7. Glad you got it figured out. Last year I bought a dozen of the new 10 round mags for matches in RI. I put the Carver +0 base pads on them. I've been using them regularly with no issues at all. So now I have 2 sets of 10 round mags, the red base pads are true 10 rounders, and the silver base pads are hi-caps with blocks for MA, and then the pre-bans are easy enough to tell apart because they have the extended base pads for carry optics. Glock mags are easy. What really sucked was having to buy 4 of the ten round MBX mags for the STI my kid shoots. That hurt!
  8. Just so you know, you can "walk" your way through a USPSA match, you don't have to run. Sometimes you may have to adjust your plan for a stage so you end where you have to kneel down rather than start, just because it takes a while to get back up... I can't seem to get the hang of Steel Challenge, but I definitely enjoy knock-down steel, and there normally isn't any movement at those matches unless you are not the shooter and are resetting steel. Oh, and congrats on retirement and the move.
  9. Thanks, I needed to read this again, because I must have forgotten it. I am hoping that someday I can get to the point where I no longer catch myself "looking through the window" rather than just being target focused and being able to pick up the dot. Definitely harder than is sounds...
  10. I don't disagree, but wonder why? Is it because we're not getting many new shooters and those of us who've been around for awhile are getting older and failing eyesight is causing a move to optics? This one is true for me personally. Failing eyesight has forced me from Production to CO. Is it because new shooters today are not learning to shoot with iron sights because almost all the new "cool" guns being sold today come with optic plates and are being marketed and advertised to sell with optics? I'm seeing this in the new shooters that join our local gun club to learn to shoot. They almost all seem to show up with new guns they just bought from one of the local gun shops and all have optics pre-mounted, so that's what they learn on. Have plain old iron sighs just become obsolete? My 2 kids still shoot iron sights (Prod & A fudgecicle nobody but a few crayon chewers and winder likkers want), but I wonder if that's just because they really only shoot occasionally, when convenient, and don't practice at all anymore, so haven't had the opportunity to try a red dot mounted on a pistol. I wonder if the first time they try it they will decide that's the way they want to go, and never look back. I enjoyed shooting Production with iron sights and 10 rounds. If I were still shooting it, with the 15 round rule, I would just slap a magwell on my Glock, and go to A fudgecicle nobody but a few crayon chewers and winder likkers want rather than stay in Production. But, then again, I'm just a grumpy old man whose still pissed they made the change from 10 to 15 rounds...
  11. Does this info help? ActionTarget_PT_Plate-Rack.pdf
  12. Wait a minute, I want to be a paper GM. That sounds way easier than practicing. Where do I sign up??? Umm, what is a paper GM?
  13. We use Action Targets PT Plate Racks, they are adjustable so that the plates don't lean too far forward, they have no problem going down with rimfire pistols, or centerfire for that matter.
  14. Never heard of them, but I can recommend Blade-Tech and Red Hill Tactical as being great competition holsters. if you are getting a closed end holster, I’d recommend ordering it for a Glock 34. That way it will accommodate the different slide lengths you may want to use.
  15. I could, and have maintained my membership, but since I shoot less than 1 actual USPSA match per year, the dues increase doesn’t make it worth it to me. Most of the matches in my driving wheelhouse are falling steel, hit factor, or some other sort of Action Pistol match. Now I’ve recently started shooting trap, and will start precision rimfire this spring. There’s plenty of non-USPSA matches to fill my schedule. At 61 years old, I’m not going to jump in and try to change things, I’m on cruise control and just enjoying shooting as more of a social activity than a competitive event.
