Seems way to light, I’d be afraid of squibs running that load.

When is the last time you cleaned piston? I’d start there first before I bought another trigger.

Maybe the snow fence is not defined as a view, but once you attach a banner to such a wall it’s becomes a vision barrier. And once that vision barrier was changed as part of the course, the competitors should be notified. Given that the change was made in the last day during the final hours and maybe the weather conditions were worse don’t negate the fact the the stage was different for some competitors. Notify all competitors and then if it’s a big enough difference someone can challenge results and arb for the stage to be thrown out of match officials felt compelled to keep stage. You can do this at any time with a 3rd party arb.

I would say that banners being out up are part of the course since it affects the view of course. Section 1.2.1 of uspsa rules spell out location and view for course design. The appendix spells out what a view is. If putting up a banner the next day changes that view, then the course has been modified. The appendix also defines “significant advantage” as having a greater view or targets which a banner could affect. It doesn’t matter if you’re 6’4” and can can see over the height of a banner. And it doesn’t matter if Troy said it wasn’t an issue or change course. At any match, if the stage is changed, ALL competitors should be notified of the stage changes and given the opportunity to arb it or not per the rules. I’ve also seen where banners affected max traps by blocking or deflecting the wind. Something to think about when putting up a banner.

The rounds are at an upward angle but as you add more and they stack up, the rounds start to tilt down since 9mm is a tapered case. That’s why the oal needs to be shorter. The transition from mag tube to base pad happens around that 35 round,so I usually give it a downward smack with my thumb on top round as I insert that next round.

Funny how things change when it’s not a popper that activates something and now it’s a clear case of REF.

Yeah it looks like you can see the points and time from website and not competitor app.

If using PractiScore, this is how it’s shown. You might have to do some math to figure out hit factor percentage or time plus allocation but it shows hits and time for stages shot.

Can’t require to start on weakside but you can if you want to.

Pretty sure on classifiers all mentions of weak side, weak hand and weak shoulder all require PCC to be fired with weak finger. The glossary says weak hand is same as weakside and special note: this applies to classifiers in all instances.

Correct

Check PractiScore

Factory 9mm should make minor in all but 3” barreled pistols.

Bayou Bullets and S N S castings make a 175 SWC.

I’ve shot in CA and never been to a match that was restricted to capacity by MD. Most shooters that weren’t grandfather’d either shoot in 10 round friendly divisions, but never seen or heard of other divisions being forced to 10 rounds. The law does not restrict out of state competitors entering the state or possession, it only prohibits, export, import, or sale. CA PC 30665, mags laws don’t apply to nonresidents.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but dont the rules limit all divisions to 10 rounds in states where that's the law? So doesnt limited become L10 in states with 10 rounds limits by default? What's the need for a whole other division if everyone at a given match is under the same limit anyways? Because some of those states like California have grandfather clause and a recent week to get grandfathered again.

People just want to hose which is why I think the popularity of high cap divisions is seen increase. Most of the local and major matches are just big 32 round field courses with 8 shot arrays.

Well that’s a whole other can of worms. If you suspect people are playing games with equipment or ammo, you can be chrono’d at any time if suspect. You mags can be checked at anytime.

Supposed to have chrono stage at level 3 and above, so unless you only shoot local matches you probably won’t see a Chrono. See chrono at sectional and state level 2 matches frequently.

I usually start on top smaller plate to get some momentum going, then hammer the bottom larger plate. Sometimes I’ll have to shoot smaller plate on bottom if it’s not quite enough to get it over.

Ammo type seems to make a difference also. FMJ and lead seemed to transfer more energy than JHP type of bullets for pistol or pcc. Seen 1 shot of #6 shells spin it over if it’s allowed, as well as choke choice.

And we’re back to 3 mike and 1 ftsa. The circle of popper life continues.
