Just picked mine up today, action is a little rough but after two hours of slide manuplation she is starting to smooth out. Huge shoutout to STI who gave me the hook up on this, got it from Sportsman's Loft in ND. Got on his wait list in March, and was lucky enought to get the first one he got in!

Is there a website or someplace we can go for details about this match?

Have stages been posted for this match yet?

Anyone know when the updates for this match occur (either email confirmations of updates to the squad list), sent my money in over a week ago and not heard a peep. Someone told me they thought all updates occur on Mondays or Tuesdays

Sent you a PM Jack...

ima45dv8 thank you for that excellent response. I'm sitting here looking at results from the match I shot this weekend and trying to understand the fluctuations in HF between a group of 5 shooters and the differences in both stage points and overall scoring. I had assumed that you would want a high hit factor number but as I look across the scores the lower the hit factor the better the placement of the shooter. Does the hit factor calculation vary from one class to another or is it generically applied to all shooters across class separations?

Can you guys give me the 2 cent lecture on hit factor.

I'm confused.... Are we looking at the blue shoes or the shaved legs.. And I will allow NO smacking talking about Blue gun rigs, hell I dragged the poor man over to my car just to show him he was not ALONE!

I learned more about how to read a stage while pasting stage 8 all day then I have in all the matches I have attended in the past 5 months. To be able to watch so many shooters of varying levels read, plan, and then attempt to execute that plan is an amazing experience. I strongly recommend to everyone find a large match and get on the staff for a stage. Even if you’re only the senior pasting monkey you will see every movement, every shot, from a different perspective then the view we normally get from the squad position. My Hats off to Linda and Jack for an awesome match and a huge shout out to the Stage 8 staff you folks kicked ass!

+1 for the Ribas, it is truly and amazing and well made holster. Fully CNC'ed out of Aluminum, very solid, with a three position locking system. At the end of the day go to your next match and try to track down one of each and look at the construction and the materials. Then ask the owner if you can do some sample draws, that’s how I picked mine.

I run Guga Ribas holster and Mag pouches on a CR Speed belt. It's an amazing holster, and the mag pouches can be set-up to position in two distict ways which is very nice.

One exercises I have set up at work helps this a lot... I took two of the 1/3 sized IPSC targets and taped them in the top left and right hand corners of my 19' computer monitor at work. I start the exercise by looking directly at the A zone of one of the targets and then let my eyes move to the A zone on the opposite target then I turn my head so I’m pointing at the target I'm looking at. I do this 9 to ten times so that I'm always letting the eyes drive the movement and set the path of transition. Randomly throughout the month I will move the targets up and down there respective side of the monitor and for giggles I have thrown as many as six up so I'm moving to different targets in no specific order.
