You could be right and I may be missing it but where in the rulebook does it say that? I thought it was a miss. I just looked it up to double-check… here it is: 4.3.1.6 Unlike Poppers, metal plates are not subject to calibration or calibration challenges. If a scoring metal plate has been hit but fails to fall or overturn, the Range Officer shall declare range equipment failure and order the competitor to reshoot the course of fire, after the faulty plate has been rectified.

Or for a free alternative, check out VirtualBox: http://www.virtualbox.org/ I use it to run Linux in Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro. I've given up on Snow Leopard temporarily after it failed to resume from sleep 3 times in 1 day. Also, Windows has CounterStrike.

However, if I'm reading this correctly, that is a 9mm conversion barrel, which is not legal in Production...?

Just a heads-up: I just got an e-mail from natchez saying Federal SP primers were in stock! http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?conte...=FA100&src=

The real issue here is: what is the value of 0/0? Normally, your stage points are computed as ((your_HF)/(HHF))*(available_stage_points). In the normal case when the HHF isn't zero, it all works out. But in the case where it IS, you simply can't do this. But, the competitor with the highest hit factor (0) is to be awarded the maximum points available (60), according to the rule Flex quoted.

The way the following rule is written, yes. Okay, so the shooter has a hit factor of 0. Does he still have the highest hit factor? Yes. Therefore, he gets the maximum points available for the course of fire. The way the rule is written, it's pretty cut-and-dried.

I just got my copy of this movie today. I am thinking it is going to be the best movie EVER. I've been wanting to watch it for a while... where does one get a copy of it in the US?

Anyone upgraded yet? Thoughts? I'll probably give it a shot after I get back from the IL sectional... gotta have my priorities straight!

Splitting a couple cases with a friend, THANKS!

Congrats, and welcome to the deep end of the pool. The competition here is fierce!

Gone already!

Agreed. I moved up to B class earlier this year without ever having finished at the top of C class at a major match. So far, I've missed out on 3 plaques at major matches as a result, and I'm getting the tar beat out of me in B. It's not even that I'm a bad B shooter, more that half of A class is in B. Don't be in such a hurry to move up until you know you're ready.

That probably means the A card will be in the mail in Aug

That's funny, I was just joking about doing the same thing on the way to a match today. Doesn't look like it's on the list of approved Production guns, so L-10 is probably the best place to shoot it. If you guys do go ahead with this plan, keep us updated... I'd be curious to hear how it goes.

Sounds like your 13 round magazine is for the compact XD (shorter grip). You should be able to remove the grip extension from it and use it in your full-size... just slide it up and off the mag.

Wow, you look quite different in the two photos!

Hey Ben, I just saw that you're shooting Area 3... can I squad with you?

If you have internet access, you could try http://www.random.org/

I started in March of '07, tanked several classifiers so hard they didn't count, got my initial classification in C that October?, and made B last month. I shot about 2-3 matches a month and did quite a bit of practice/dry fire last summer and fall. I hope it doesn't take me another year and a half to make A.

How many Bravos?

Ahahaha, this needs to be on YouTube or something!

See, now if you hadn't done that, you would have gotten a re-shoot and this procedural business would be a moot point.

Some photos from the weekend here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2641...mp;l=0006f2baec

I went around and tried to take pictures between R.O.-ing squads... I'm still recovering from the weekend, so I just put them on facebook. As always, let me know if you'd like a high-res copy of anything. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2641...mp;l=0006f2baec

notasccrmom with 3 pieces of brass in the air The absolute highlight is KGentry's bullet in flight The non-pro Flickr account only goes up to pictures of a certain size, but let me know if you'd like the originals of any of these! A big thanks to Don Hardy for lending his GM camera skills when I was up (and then I pretty much just let him take over by the end) EDIT: if you have any photos from this match, feel free to tack them onto this thread!
