  1. When I was new to the sport I dreaded/disliked the BIG shotgun stage that required 35+ rounds.

    Honestly I now look forward to them and they are probably one of my favorite type of stages to shoot.

    I would agree. Not having at least one 35+ round shotgun stage sucks the fun outta the match.

    I agree so much that I routinely shoot 35+ shotgun rounds regardless of the stage round count! :)

  2. Typically the restock date at Midwayusa is accurate. Usually if the # of back orders exceeds the amount coming in stock the website shifts the restock date or doesn't accept back orders.

  3. Mine has a Springer Precision trigger, extended mag release, narrow FO front sight and grip stippling. It needs nothing else.

    Another vote for this.

    Can skip grip stipple and use skate tape but trigger/front sight (narrower: fiber optic or not) is your best value.

  4. Ditto those who were blind as a bat before correction that have perfect vision now. I'm 2 years out and it's the best money I've ever spent, next to the $ I spent on my first handgun :)

  5. How about appending this somewhere: " the shooter may request or be provided reminders of the contents of the written stage briefing at any time before the start signal of any string."

    That takes the "gotcha" out of the sport but makes it legal. Can qualify that if you don't want it happening at level II or III matches .... But I personally don't see the harm. That's why we ask if they are ready.

  6. I think with a longstanding PIP joint contracture 60 degrees or greater has a higher chance of joint stiffness (not just cord tightness) and will typically require surgery (widget or open) to stretch or release on addition to the cord but it's very hard to be sure without actually examining the hand.

    Translation: YMMV. My license doesn't include telemedicine so take the above as a loose generality.

  7. Trigger fingers are different.

    (not that hammers are reliable for either... :surprise:).

    Treatments for dupuytren's:

    1) surgery - remove abnormal tissue

    2) surgery - limited - cut tight cords

    3) needle aponeurectomy - cut tight cords with needle

    4) Xiaflex: dissolve cords with chemicals.

    5) Stretch out contracture with Digit Widget" and then cut our abnormal tissues.

    You (qt) should look into #5 if your contracture is really bad. Look the device up on Internet and see if anyone near you has experience with it.

    Depending on severity and goals each is good,

    There are no other proven treatments
