  1. All movements can be scaled to your current abilities. Pay attention to the coaching so you use the correct techniques. I started at 63 after 30+ years of "Body by Neglect", 2 sessions a week. First year nutrition challenge and accompanying lifestyle changes dropped 50 pounds. 8.5+ years in, now 3/week, but don't yet have a pull-up, but have maintained weight with increased strength and endurance.
  2. USPSA updates classifications and membership expiry/renewals every week, Tuesday night/Wednesday morning with results that have been uploaded with activity fees paid. It is the club's responsibility to upload results and pay fees within 30 days of match completion.
  3. It's a PractiScore (iOS/Android?) issue. I saw this while doing stats for New Mexico Sectional in early August when a shooter changed divisions from one that allowed major to a minor-only division. Edited the division only for the shooter, PF showed major. Had to save that change, then edit shooter again to set PF to minor. Reported to PractiScore support.
  4. My STI 2011 slide was milled to accept a Deltapoint Pro. Considering a switch to Vortex Venom. Is there an adapter for the different footprint?
  5. 1.2.1General Courses of Fire 1.2.1.1 Short Courses–Must not require more than 12 rounds to complete and no more than 2 shooting locations. Course design and construction must not require more than 8 scoring hits from any single location or view, nor allow a competitor to shoot all targets in the course of fire from any single location or view. 1.2.1.2 Medium Courses–Must not require more than 20 rounds to complete and no more than 3 shooting locations. Course design and construction must not require more than 8 scoring hits from any single location or view, nor allow a competitor to shoot all targets in the course of fire from any single location or view. 1.2.1.3 Long Courses–In Level III or higher matches must not require more than 32 rounds to complete. At any level match, course design and construction must not require more than 8 scoring hits from any single location or view, nor allow a competitor to shoot all targets in the course of fire from any single location or view.
  6. Discovered #248: Blue in chapstick form, better application control than liquid form.
  7. I'm using a slide mounted optic on my Open gun, since 2005. Never used a frame mount.
  8. Use the Random Delay start instead of Instant for self-timed practice. Timer could be set on a barrel or table too.
  9. Can't speak for Steel Challenge, but that's what I've done for USPSA scoring. The USPSA upload has a verification process to match member number and name. Sometimes a member uses a different name in match registration that what is on file with USPSA. James D. Doe in USPSA registered as Dave Doe for the match. Uploader has to confirm they are the same person.
  10. USPSA? Comstock, Virginia? 1 Procedural for engaging 2nd array before reload. If Virginia, penalties for extra hits, still score best 2.
  11. Multilaser is red mirror coating on dark lens, not a red tint. I use the Racing Red autochromic for shooting, multilaser for driving in bright sun of desert southwest.
  12. Notice how the ground is chewed up by the splatter. It's within one foot and parallel to the popper face. Targets beside and just forward of the poppers are the ones that get chewed up. 8 feet behind should not be an issue.
  13. I'm guessing it's the novelty factor of the new divisions plus more economical entry to optics than full blown Open.
  14. Mandatory reload before reengaging might comply.
  15. About to post a Benelli m2 Field set up for open division. PM if interested.
  16. Any reason not to go with the loaner brand/model?
  17. Gauge should be flush or below. S&W will replace bolt if gauge surface is above bolt face, per their instructions.
  18. We allow walk-on registration. I would rather have a registered no-show than a late arrival forcing a redo on stage tablets delaying match start.
  19. It has been done. I've used all the PractiScore web and tablet services for the local USPSA club. I've also run a tablet only match and shared results to the website without having to do anything else on the PS website.
