How does the Nationals move affect you?
JusticeOfToren replied to obsessiveshooter's topic in USPSA Nationals
And this range south of Fort Worth in Texas has 25 bays and is adding 4 more bays to the left of the picture as we speak. I wonder why these great shooting ranges were never on the radar when USPSA selects venues for nationals. -

JusticeOfToren replied to obsessiveshooter's topic in USPSA Nationals
I always wonder what's wrong with the Tulsa range for nationals? I heard Phil was trying to buy it as official USPSA range but failed. Bad blood after that? It has 30 bays. -
Moving to a new house and want to set up my auto drive + Dillon in the garage. I live down south and the summer is brutal. I am looking for tips on setting up and storing components in the garage. Should I insulate the the garage ceiling, wall and door, and install a split unit AC? I worry the press might rust and the component might go bad in the summer humidity.

Recommendation for In-Ear Electronic Hearing Protection
JusticeOfToren replied to Paul_H's topic in Gear & Accessories
Has anyone tried these "self mold" custom earplugs? It's advertised as 31dB. For non RO shooters, these are probably OK if you just want to block out the shots.

Stage comments for recent Classic Nationals
JusticeOfToren replied to Bagellord's topic in USPSA/IPSC Shooting
A bit off topic - does anyone know officially if any stages from the classic natz will become new 22 series classifiers? -
-
1/3 of the competitors will shoot the stage today
-
Looking at this match, quite a few ppl got 12 procedures, while others got 6. Did the RO provided the same coaching to all these shooters, and they all just decided to zero the stage? Or the RO only coached some but not all. Seems like the stage needs to be thrown out if that's the case.
-
Shooter is right handed and started on the right? Does not seem the RO was trying to help seeing right handed shooter starting a strong hand string going right to left and saying nothing. RO does not have to say anything, but "trying to help" afterfact seemed like a gotcha. I'd remind shooters when I RO in that situation and state it is string 1 we doing.

I know being MD is a thankless volunteer job, and myself I have not been an MD except helping with setups. I truly appreciate all the work that MDs do. That's also why I am curious as to how the score upload works under the hood. I am seeing a lot of clubs, nearly all clubs around me, do not upload scores to USPSA for weeks or even months. It's puzzling to me because we spent hours to set up and tear down stages, and all those happen quickly, but after the match, it seems that's all and everyone just don't care about finishing up the whole thing, like uploading the scores to USPSA. I know most people don't care about classifiers, but a lot of people do especially unclassified shooters or shooters who are trying to achieve a new classification. It just does not make sense for them to wait weeks or even months for the new classification, given that the USPSA system has now become real-time and weekly updated. Sometimes, the shooter's more recent scores get uploaded way before the older scores show up, causing the USPSA calculation issues (e.g. the timing issue some people call it). So, please help me understand the current score upload workload: 1. MD publishes Practiscore result - this probably takes a few minutes, if everything goes well 2. MD download the Practiscore report, and upload to USPSA.org - this probably takes a few minutes, if all member number and names are correct 3. MD pays USPSA the fee - few minutes? I am not sure. Maybe this is where most clubs are procrastinating, because they don't have the funds yet to pay? I am just guessing. 4. Done? Did I miss anything? If not, the whole 3 steps would take less time then setting up 1 stage, without any physical exertion. So what are the most common causes why clubs always wait for weeks or even months before they upload? Are they waiting for people to verify their score on Practiscore first? Or are they waiting for new shooters to get their USPSA numbers first? Will that take weeks? I remember mine took about 2-3 days to get. PS - I also can see quite a few clubs in other parts of the country upload to USPSA on the day when the match completes. Kudos to them. I just wish all clubs can be like that. Thanks.

Primer shaving on XL 650
JusticeOfToren replied to JusticeOfToren's topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
I got the alignment tool. I actually was able to align the platform without taking off any die except the expander die. It was aligned perfectly, but after 100 rounds, the primer shaving started again. I am suspecting it is the shell plate itself - maybe the dent ball positions are messed up? I could not visually see anything wrong, but my next step is to buy a new shell plate and try it. -
Typically who would catch shooters handling ammo in safe area? I assume the other shooters will report to RO/MD/RM about that?
-
I know a lot of safety DQs such as 180, AD, etc. What are common non-safety related DQs? Just curious. Thanks.

The sole reason I chose Stock 2 over Shadow was due to my short trigger finger. The RRK3 may just be the cure for coming back to the Shadow line Does anyone know how much reduction the RRK will produce? 2mm? 3mm or even more?

Why dry fire when you can buy skill. Get a Vogel flashlight and put it on the rail. Guaranteed 30% more flatter shooting.
