I'm definitely interested and trying to work this match into my schedule. Can someone please elaborate on the match format for this one? All 12 stages in one day? multiple days?

Just ordered a new one today: ALFA MYK

I had some fun with an M4 and some M855 at work today, but it sure didn't end like that! Glad to hear nobody was injured.

Today's match: As usual, comments and suggestions are welcome.

I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again now that it's official... Congrats Matt!

Thanks for the input! I tried to watch some older videos of myself and compare them to the newer ones, but it's hard to see a difference from my perspective. EDIT: Your post reminded me since you mentioned it, here are some videos of me shooting this year. Input is always welcome. The 2009 Mississippi Classic The 2009 Indiana Section Championship

My PSR really begins with the walkthrough, since everything is based on what I figure out during that few minutes. When pasting targets before I'm up, I usually zone out to an extent and just clear my mind. When I'm on deck, I run through my stage plan a few more times in my head. When the targets are being scored and pasted for the last shooter before me, I take a final walkthrough. During the make ready, I manipulate the gun in the "face box" only. After the make ready, I take a few deep breaths and position my off-hand where it needs to be for the start while keeping my right hand either on my gun or on my stomach (not in the start position) until I am ready. I move my right hand into the start position when I am good to go. I inhale one last time at the "Are you ready?" and exhale at the "Standby". Pretty simple eh?

Congrats and good work Micah!

It's been a while since I posted in here, but... As of the latest Classification update, I am now a B in Production (60.59%). Now if I can just get competitive at that level, I'll be ok. If anyone needs me, I'll be dryfiring.

Well done Jake!

VERY! Thanks to all who made this match possible. It was a great time.

I haven't touched my gun since I got it all packed up and ready two weeks ago. I'm ready!

Awesome pics! Looks like the Rudy guys were reppin hard!

From what I've seen, the Dawson ICE is one of the smallest magwells for a Glock that still blends nicely to the grip. Also, they really aren't that big on a full size frame, at least when you compare it to one like the SJC, that thing is huge. I own a Dawson.

First off, welcome! The best way is probably to get shooters hooked on the sport by shooting local matches and they will want to shoot bigger matches eventually as they get more comfortable with it. Another option is to make friends with guys that are already shooting the local matches and talk them into traveling to bigger matches with you. I've been blessed to have a good group of friends that are as crazy about shooting as I am and that aren't afraid to travel for a good match.

Congrats and good luck with the job hunt! I too am graduating a week from today with my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. There are times that it seems like a lifetime ago that I started (45 months ago), but there are things that feel like they happened yesterday.

Awesome pictures! It was a great match, and a really fun trip.

Another big thanks to John, the crew, and the sponsors. It was a great match and I had lots of fun with squad 9. I'll definitely try to make it back for this match.

Congrats and good work!

The slide hitting the frame at the end of it's rearward travel. If you watch a slow-motion video, it becomes really clear.

That just occurred to me yesterday, so it's probably good that you pointed that out. I'm really looking forward to this match!

I follow most of your post and most of it makes sense, except this part here. Two opposing forces from the side will only cancel each other out. They will do nothing to pin the gun from front to back.

I'm looking forward to see some responses in this thread, especially from some open gun builders. As a mechanical engineer, I understand the physics behind it, and how they work. When it comes to some of these designs, I really can't help but think that most of what you see is artistic expression more than actual analysis driven design. Most of the wild designs that I see look as if they kept putting holes in it until they ran out of places to put more holes. My take is that the simpler the comp, the better. More isn't always better when it comes to fluid flow.

Congrats! I just recently won my first stage this spring so the feeling is fresh in my mind. The funny thing is, I won 3 that day and still didn't get the Production win.
