    GM vs A Class video

    in The Gallery

    Posted

    I assume the GM is on the left and the A-class is on the right?

    You assume correctly

    I'm sure you've gone over this video a bunch of times, one obvious thing I noticed was stage execution. GM takes the first target array on the left, stays to the left for the next target array and then transitions to the right array. You transitioned from left to right and back to left. This seems to be a point where he really starts to pull ahead of you. Great learning technique tho by splitting the screen, very cool.

    Yeah. After we both shot, I asked him how he came to the plan he used. He said there were less transitions, That simple. I am figuring out I over think stages.

    That is a very good way of making comparisons. You really do get to see the differences that way.

    Yeah. It took foreeever to get the start buzzer the same. Of course I'm not a genius on the compiano.

    LPR Squad 35

    As promised, here's the pics of squad 35, downsized to meet attachment limits. I'll post links to the full resolution versions once I get home and have access to my web server.

    Thank you all for a great time. I was awesome to have such a great squad -- everyone helped out (heck, I almost had to fight for a target to paste sometimes), and everyone was nice and supportive.

    Next time I won't have to be so hard on myself either -- I didn't realize I was the only C shooter there. I didn't shoot my potential but I thought I was doing much worse than I actually did.

    Awesome, Thanks Tom!! It was great shooting with all you guys. A good squad can make a match so much more enjoyable.

    I look goofy in the second picture, but I was freaking excited to have finished this match. It was a beast.

    Ron,

    I think Colt Wilkinson was 3rd B, wasn't he? Not sure about that, or anyone's place but it seemed that was what I saw.

    MLM

    Yeah, I definatly didn't take 3rd B. I was competative all day Saturday with Aaron. I got bit by the reshoot bug on Sunday. Then on the last stage I got to take a mud bath to end the match. It was great.

    David Weers took Texas champion

    I had fun and it was a good match but I finished 6 or 7 B.

    2010 LaRue Tactical Multi-Gun Match

    Here is my one proud moment of the match, the #2 run on stage 4. I lost time messing with my cat tail (should have done it while I was moving) and the OBR was not chambered when I laid down (had to close the bolt). I could have been a bit faster getting in and out of positions as well. Other than that, things worked pretty well for me.

    Once again, I really enjoyed the challenging technical courses of fire offered. In no way did I expect to have to shoot 250y off the wrong shoulder. :)

    Criticize your self all you want on that run, you did real well. That put you in the top 10 on that stage right? Damn fine shootin brother!!

    ETA: I really want to see the results of Stage 7!!

    I am currently near Birmingham AL, still have over 6 hours of driving tomorrow. Nearly impossible to enter the scores while driving down the interstate (1160 miles one way). I expect to be home tomorrow & I will post them as soon as I can score them.

    Please don't dumb down the stages so that "everyone" can finish. You want to finish better? Practice. Train. Shoot more matches. We need more matches that aren't "shooter welfare". I, personally, enjoyed the technical aspect of this match thoroughly. Often times matches are a lot of run and gun but it doesn't feel like it's a real CHALLENGE. Going from pistol work to offhand 250y shots? Yeah.. that was good stuff. Shooting from a variety of positions offhand .... I love it. I hadn't practiced that. I had to reach WAY down into my toolbox to find the right way to get that one done. I applaud the MD for designing things that would make us work for it.

    I agree with this post. Don't dumb it down. I felt thoroughly challenged. It wouldnt have been as much fun if it was just a hose em down match. I know what mistakes I made and where I could have improved, and where I did good. No reason to make it easier.

    My dad and little brother came out and shot with us. It was their first big match ever. They did better then some of the experienced shooters I saw on some of the hardest stuff. We all had a blast.

    HELL, You want to talk about Iron MAN!! My little brother shot it all with an iron sighted AK and an 870 on purpose!!

    Great job guys.

    Best AR15/Rifle Compensator/Brake?

    in Rifle - Technical

    Posted · Edited by bigbear_98

    Why the surefire over the PWS FSC556 in tactical? It is a flash suppressor and muzzle break. Not any other muzzle break is gonna do that. Granted surefire can be fitted with a can but the can is not what is being voted on.

    Also what do yall think would be the best brake on a 10.5" that wont knock out my fillings?

    Which Glock is better for carry?

    I carry a 23. I had a 27 with a mag extension. The gun shot well but I figured why not go for more barrel length when the grip extensions mad the grips the same length anyway.

    ETA; I carried a 22 for a little bit but it pinched my but cheek when I sat. I carry in a comp-tac CTAC. 23 works for me

    Buying an AR15 SBR

    in Rifle - Technical

    Posted · Edited by bigbear_98

    The easiest and quickest is to make it yourself on a Form 1. The tax is the same - $200 - and you don't have to wait for the transfer from the manufacturer to the dealer. Also, you get EXACTLY what you want. If you don't want to engrave your lower with your name/city/state, it is OK to stamp or engrave either the barrel or the upper receiver instead. Here is mine:

    All,

    I am brand new to this forum, doing some research on the specific's of doing an SBR on a CavArms lower. At risk of rubbing someone's fur the wrong way...StealthyBlagga, can you provide me a link to any kind of ATF document verifying your statement "If you don't want to engrave your lower with your name/city/state, it is OK to stamp or engrave either the barrel or the upper receiver instead."? I do believe that is 100% incorrect and I would like to see anything you have that would confirm it.

    If you go to Orion Arms Engraving (http://orion-arms.com/new/content/view/26/84/) I see a lot of places for AR15's to be engraved for SBR, but upper receiver/barrel is not one of them. I could cite some other examples of conflicting information on this topic, but your statement is pretty definitive. Hey, anybody can make a mistake. I just want to make sure and get this thread confirmed or updated ASAP so nobody gets into any trouble.

    Sorry to kick over an ant hill if I'm wrong here... And StealthyBlagga - that is a great looking AR you have there.

    Regards,

    Phil

    If your gonna build it yourself. Buy a lower, fill out and send off your form 1, then take your lower and get it engraved.

    If your gonna buy one already registered, the dealer will fill out a form 4 and wait for your paper work to come back. When it does and it is approved, then you go get your lower, rifle.

    ETA; Good looking piece StealthyBlagga!
