As said earlier, if I was shooting ONE stage I'd get something super aggressive. But since we shoot 5-6-7-8+ stages a day I lean towards something that doesn't hurt after 5 hours.
Yeah I feel you on that. I would rather get something more comfortable for my wide feet.

I’ve never found the need for anything more than trail shoes unless on wet grass and I’m probably one of the faster people out there week in and week out.
Yeah I am gonna go back to my Salomons

Normally wear trail running shoes. For Handgun Nats GM shooter friend told me to get cleats for the gravel at Cardinal Shooting Center. Worked out great and didn't slip. Wide cleats move the gravel out getting a better grip. These are the ones I used. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B74XZ687/ref=emc_b_5_t?th=1&psc=1
Thanks

I have tried several types. I prefer soft cleats. Hoka makes excellent lightweight trail shoes that fit my somewhat wide feet. You can remove the insole and put a SuperFeet insole in. That is what I do,
Hoka Speedgoats have a flexible tread with very grippy 5mm lugs. The also come in waterproof and wide. The lugs wear quickly on hard surfaces. My current shoes are Hopka Torrents. A little more support and grippy 4mm lugs. Good for all surfaces, except mud. You can run in mud, but stopping is a problem. They tend to slip unless you really plant your foot. The Speedgoats were better in that regard. I wore Speedgoats first. I prefer the Torrents.
All terrain running shoes such as the Brooks Adrenaline GTS are also great for everything except mud and wet grass.
deng I will look into those. I also use superfeet so thats awesome!

If you can find a comfy pair they work ok, but most hard cleats get painful on hard ground by the end of a long day for me.
There used to be a soft-cleat version of the UA Hammer Mid everyone wore for a few years before they discontinued it. Wasn't terrible on wet wood, unlike the other cleats you'll want to be changing out of.
Yeah I figured those golf type shoes would be comfortable but they dont run and aggressive with it.

wore them for years, Adddas high top foot ball cleats...More but shorter cleats, and not super narrow like most of the cleats on the market,, Figured football linemen gotta wear something.
I will have to look into football cleats. do you have the molded ones or the one with the interchangeable cleats?

They are also deadly when you have to shoot from wooden platforms or planks. Especially when wet.
Yeah I would rather just use trail shoes

Soccer cleats used to be all the rage. In my opinion they aren’t really needed unless you shoot a lot on grass. I wear Merrill’s because they come in wide widths.
You can do a search here and read about shoes all day
yeah my area is mostly dirt but felt that baseball cleats sits high on hard dirt that I was afraid of rolling my ankles. I guess I would go back to trail shoes.

Wondering if anyone tried turf cleats for competition. In theory they have good traction, not high like standard baseball cleats and I see them on clearance section all the time. I have wide feet and after 10years looking to replace my salomon speedcross. If you have any other shoe recommendations for wide feet and will possible use an insert for arc support.
-
How are they compared to Salomon speedcross? I have wide feet and sometimes I feel that its hard for me to get on the salomon but ones they are in...its good shoes. Nice to know there are other options

I like the 20moa circle only. It really all depends on your eyes. For a while i like the dot circle but certain times i switch to circle only

For those looking they restocked at aaa optics (i dont know how many in stock) . I ordered from them before and they have fast shipping

I ordered mine this morning (I already got a tracking). I have been wanting one and seems not all shops have them available. My first time buying from this website but my busdy has and said they good to go.
anyone have experience with them?

I replaced my LCI and extractor….. that fixed most of the problems. I would say 2 FTE out of 100 but i was also using federal brick ammo from walmart that is 10yrs old. I tried remington golden bullet brick and did not have any issues with that ammo. The LCI was the big culprit for my 22/45 light

Not exactly. You must have 50 posts TO POST AN AD IN THE CLASSIFIEDS, but any member (unless their status has been set to unclassified for violations), regardless of post count, can view the classifieds forum.
We don't delete posts (well, hardly ever anyway). We hide posts that violate forum guidelines, and, even if your post count gets reset due to abuse of the classifieds, your posts will still be on the forum (only your post count gets reset, your posts remain).
How do I check out classifieds? I am new but not planning on posting an AD, but interest on purchasing? How do i know if i am “unclassified” and violated the rules?

You most likely have a W/N
Please update us. I like being surprised coming across STI's with Para Clark or unramped barrels
Will do! Looking to build another upper

...at least the factory ones are. STI frames were available with no ramp cuts and gunsmiths would do whichever they wanted on them. Pretty easy to tell by popping off the slide and looking at the frame-- if the rearmost part where the bottom barrel lug goes is rounded, it's a Clark/Para. Squared off, Wilson/Nowlin. Every now and then someone will try to change a W/N to C/P, but it's rare.
Top is C/P with the 'bowtie', bottom W/N
Awesome reference… truly appreciated

What was the round count on those and what gun was it?
I have it on a shadow2, i had about 2-3k on the optic. Both issues were the buttons stopped working. They replaced it under warranty but now i keep a 2nd optic incase it breaks again.

Noob question. I have a 2011 STI edge. I was looking to buy a new barrel. Anyone know what barrel ramp cut I need? Wilson/nowlin or para/clark?
thanks

I had the 507c and currently i am on my 3rd one. For the price point its a good optic, due to my bad eye sight, i like to shoot with the HALO reticle so that is what I am chasing. I just wish it was more durable.

do you mean you prefer the reticle of the holosun? If so, why is that?My eyes arent as good as before. I like the big 32moa halo that holosun has. If the stages need me to be more “accurate” then i also turn on the 2moa dot with the halo. Plus its like half the price of the SRO.
Anyone tried turf cleats shoes for competition?

I will definetly looking into Inov8! thanks for the info. I use the asics now, they are comfortable (especially with my insert) but lack the traction I need. Appreciate the input
