Has the threat of the snow & bad roads cancelled the Sunday match. I have not seen anything on any of the facebook pages (Corey or Vol Shooter) mentioning the match. -
Since I voted yes & Glock has a beavertail version for the Gen 4 I'd be willing to try Glocks again . That is if anyone really has one. I've yet to see one,find anybody that has one or can order one.

Hey Corey , how about a little relief for us working slobs? TWO kids in college ,OT pay on Saturdays, a short 3 hour ride to the range on SUNDAY morning & are you sure those dates aren't Oct 10-11? Good luck with your match. I'd love to see a bunch of big matches in KY plus a state championship.Are you listening GARY?

While my match schedule will remain woefully low I'm taking NO chances on the election.I've already ordered an extra AR15 CAA CBS ,extra STI & MP mags & myself & some other shooting buds are putting out 5.56 Wolff ammo & Powder Valley powder & primer orders. Fool me once (1994) shame on you,fool me twice (2009) shame on me.If we have a DEM sweep count on the promised new AWB with teeth,a heatlth care tax on ammo & components & NO replacement bodies for high-cap mags.MY advice is lay off the guns,unless you need an AR or shotgun for 3 G un,& stockpile mags,ammo & reloading components . PS.If you are rich(really rich not BHO rich) buy any & everything you want!

Want2race,bring your toys old & new & go to Ashland Gun Club on 9-14-08. They'll have 4 stages (1 classifier & 3 whatever stages) that,if you make the morning session can be shot with 3 diffenet guns.This should give you a good testbed for comparison. If I can't make the match to see for myself you can still post the results.

Thanks Hank. I'd been lazy & had NOT checked on the shotshell tables . A quick look comparing AA Lite vs WST gives FAST burning a new meaning. Guess I'll just have to moan & groan some more & hope for a return of WSL. Thanks again

It's that time of the year that our little group of shooters put in our Powder Valley order (bulk purchase & hazmat savings) & while I normally use TG my all-time favorite was WSL.Is the new WW AA Lite something totally diffenert,basically the same or the same. The powder would be used for everything (9MM Pb & jacketed40 minor & major Pb & jacketed reg lgth & long & 45 ACP Pb & jacketed). TG has been efective but the recoil IMO is heavier than WSL & the smoke with Pb Esp in heat is much worse. Any experience with AA Lite ,good or bad,would be appreciated.

I voted for the 40 b/c I'm (a) old & lazy when it comes to reloading ( cheap & reloading 9mm with Pb bullets has been troublesome or worse © shoot an XD or M&P (d) basically just shoot local club matches. If I didn't reload or shot Glocks or did a lot of air-travel matches the vote would DEFINETLEY been for the 9mm.

Steano the problem is the bullet profile.I bought a SPo1,shot about 150 rounds of 115 gr FMJ that I'd loaded 2 years before for a GSSF match with NO problems .One week later I headed out for a USPSA match with some newly loaded different brand 115 gr FMJ & could not get through a single stage of a 4 stage match without at least 1 double feed malfunction.At the same match I bought some 121 gr LRN which I loaded up,shot another 150 rounds then took to another 4 stage USPSA match with NO problems.Three different bullets,ALL loaded to an OAL of 1.130 with 2 TOTALLY different results.MY advice is to pull your bbl & drop check a loaded round,ignoring what the OAL is until you get to the point where the round will FREELY drop.AT that point set your die & check the chrono (short rounds will be hotter).YMMV but IMO I'd DEFINTELY drop check rather than trust OAL when dealing with SP01s.

I am having my eye doc check into the Flash Focus system to see if it could be beneficial.I'll post the findings & would also like other shooters,trainers,etc to post their findings.I'd rather spend my $s elsewhere but winter weather means reduced shooting & old eyes can always use any/all help.

As a member of the both the medical community & SE Victims Club let me add my story to the mix.The combo of years of shooting guns ,hitting tennis balls & advancing age gave me a very sore elbow this summer. A friend who is a PT gave me series of exercises,a friend who is a doc gave me the SHOT & being the druggist I added the meds.Two weeks of R&R & I returned to shootingNo pain & a local club victory was followed 1 week later with a very hurt elbow. A visit back to the doc led to a MRI & a visit to the surgery doctor which has led to a new piece of metal in my body(a pin in the elbow) which led to 10 days in a sling then 3 weeks in a very expensive robo-cop elbow brace.After 4 weeks of PT rehab here's my advice : (1) The exercises shown on the other posts are basically what I've been doing & will contine doing. Add a handroller exercise (this can be done at home on a stat bike or rowing machine if you have one),a Bowflex type strethcing series & the rollup series (there is an old Western with Robert Culp & R Welch that has her doing this same drill when learning to become a gunfighter).(2)The surgery doc strongly suggested my comeback be done with a heavy,light recoiling firearm(for all you who figured everyone in the med community hates ∨ knows nothing about guns he said no to major cal GLocks without even asking what I shot). I am now the proud new owner of a CZ 75 Sp01. (3) I'm limited to 20 dryfire draws per workout & while not painful that is the most discomforting exercise I do.(4)While drugs(ie Motrin,Naproxen,etc) are IMO both helpful & needed caution needs to be used with the SHOT. Steroids ,as good as they are,tend to mask serious injuries.In my case what was probably a partial tear of the tendon became a complete tear & some minor bone damage.(5)When you become a reluctant member of the Old Farts Club exercise is a must & Production starts looking better every day. GOOD LUCK
