Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Thanks for the update! I got one too as soon as I got the email from Gibbz they were released. I like it, but had to drill the receiver for the set screws to stay in place after I muffed a classifier when the magwell shifted. Solid now, but definitely recommend sinking the screws if you haven't yet.
  2. Will do. I also contacted Titan Rocket to se ed ic they can make one.
  3. I've got the Gibbz ambi glock lower and I've been looking for an extended magwell with no luck. Does anybody make one? I'm not picky as to polymer/aluminum.
  4. Here's the WSB for reference. I set it up to give the shooter options and while I saw various approaches (some comical as shooters balanced on one foot with the other hovering the shooting area) I was not in the squad with RePete to join in the discussion at the time. I wish I had a clear intention as the stage designer other than to make the shooter think and get creative. I guess I accomplished that, but I hadn't considered the one-in-one-out option at the time. If I were RO I wouldn't have started the shooter because if you're partially inside the shooting area then you're not outside. The MD submitted the question to NROI so I'm curious to see what they say.
  5. Making the gurus work on Labor Day? You're a tough boss. Thanks for the update. I'm guessing there will be some kind of announcement once the features go live.
  6. I agree that you can point to an individual match and most of the sites I've seen do that, but I was hoping to take that step out for my buddy so that all he'd need to do was upload the scores and they'd be listed under his club results. I might email the support address. There's gotta be a way to reference the club ID for filtered results. I'm just not php literate.
  7. Apologies if this is common knowledge, but searching came up short. How can you link to a page on the practiscore website with just the results from your club? Something similar to if you typed the club name in the search field. I'm doing some web development for a buddy's club and rather than them posting individual links I was hoping to embed a results page from practiscore. It looks from the January update thread that this was planned to be implemented, but I just can't find how to work it. Thanks!
  8. What division you plan on shooting? Seems like without the usual aftermarket items such as magwell, extended mags, etc. the Q is most suited as production gun, in which case the .40 is a bit overpowered for minor. I've been debating on the 5in PPQ in 9 or 40, and even though I'd love to trick it our for limited I feel like the odds are stacked against it unless you run it in production. Maybe L10 if a magwell was available.
  9. I was curious to see if anyone had tried this and it looks like this thread is due for a 10-years later update. You CAN use your USPSA classification as proof of firearms proficiency for a Florida concealed carry permit. The language to satisfy the training requirement reads as follows, "documentary evidence of experience with a firearm obtained through participation in organized shooting competition;" I was down in FL at the beginning of this month and took the opportunity to apply in person. I supplied them with my most recent USPSA card with a classification and a printout of my classification history from the USPSA website. I got my permit in the mail today. All I can say is that it works, so anybody looking to get a FL permit can save their money on a class and put that $ towars some ammo or gear. To be fair, the people in the office were a little thrown off, and when I asked how many people use this option they said they see 3 or 4 a year in that office. Hope this update is helpful.
  10. I think it would be interesting if the software could inform you for instances when you should/shouldn't reengage a target or skip a disappearing one. Some way of setting a desired hit factor and alerting you when you're off track. For example If I got to the end of a stage with a disappearing target, but my HF was at an acceptable level, it would tell me not to waste the time engaging it.
  11. Been shooting the 4in M1 for two seasons now. With a good thumbs-forward grip there is little recoil to slow you down. Keep in mind it's a polymer gun, not an EAA or CZ. 124gr or heavier bullets help to mitigate the snap as well. Overall the PPQ is great gun that I love competing with.
  12. I just made the switch to disposables. I only wear contacts when shooting since it came out cheaper than updating the prescription for my Rudy's every year. So far so good, but it took a lot of trial and error to find a pair that was both comfortable and clear at the required distances. I feel like I'm still experimenting with what brand of lenses is best so I'll see where I end up after this season.
  13. Had a buddy do this with a CZ while I was ROing after he had a string of light strikes. Gun went click and rather than pulling DA he cocked the hammer with his weak hand, fired, and the round went off. It was so fast, and I thought we was racking the slide to clear the round. When the gun went bang I stopped him thinking it was an AD. When he told me what he did I, it made sense since he had been expecting a light strike although not the first thing I would've done. Just an interesting anecdote that if you do something that the RO doesn't expect and the gun goes off during what appears to be remedial action you'll get stopped. Depending on the RO, you may not be able to explain your way out of it and end up with a DQ.
  14. That's classy. Now I finally have a use for all of my empty lobster carcasses.
  15. +1 on the NuFinish & Mineral Spirits. I was surprised how well it worked. I currently do 1-2 hours of the NuFinish & Min. Spir. with corn cob and another hour with NuFinish & Min. Spir. and walnut. The corn cob gets all the gunk and the walnut gets it purty.
