tried a friends timney trigger and just wasnt impressed.

Shootersconnection has a parts kits without the trigger and triggers for sale seperate. I use a jard in my competition gun but I also have JP trigger and a factory trigger tuned by bill springfield. His work is good especially for the price

Don't you mean recoil spring? Nope I mean main spring. The affect on trigger is very mimimal ie not taking pounds off the trigger usually a couple oz. The main spring is compressed when the slide comes back and that affects how the gun feels.

The sub 19pound main springs don't affect the trigger a whole lot. They DO affect how the gun feels when it goes off and how the sights track though

I would avoid the FOBUS

+1 on a gas gun over the benelli if recoil is a concern. Also, you do not need super heavy loads in the gun. Stance and technique help alot with handeling the shotgun. I use to shoot skeet in college and there were a couple younger ladies that shot and were not very big at all yet could move a 9-10 pound shotgun better than alot of the men out there. On the shotgun lean into the gun and put the weight more on your leading food. Lock your arms tight and move the gun wit your body. If you have trouble with the gun weight I would work up to it with practicing mounting and moving the gun with the correct form till you adjust to it just dont sacrafice form ie lean back to handle the gun weight. Gun weight is a double edged sword if your not use to it. a lighter gun is easier to hold up at first till you get use to it but is gonna recoil harder than a heavier one. I would go a 12 ga gas gun and try some 1oz loads.

added insurance. they are cheap so why not

I dont have a problem with the 300yd or so stuff. Throw in some 6-700 yard shots and Im throwing one in the general direction on the move and moving on. Not wasting the ammo or time for a mike anyway

My smith used a file when he did one of mine. Just dont use a course one like your hardware store sells. Just do it at the range and go slow and shoot as once its gone its gone For future reference, dawson can make pretty much anything out there for a little extra. I had a black sight made for a specific STI flattop cut that is only avaliable in FO one height one width. I had a different height, with and black instead of FO for like 20 buck over the std black sight and it took them like 2 weeks to get to me

Cosamin DS is the one to get. You want the one that has manganese with it which this does. It does take a couple months as it has to build up in the system. My father has had several people using it for a while with good results. He has probibally the only pharmacist run natural health/FFL stores around lol

If it was run under USPSA rules it is. Were they using another set of rules? The USPSA seems to be one of the least popular multigun rules

second the beltman. Have had his belt for 6 years or so and holding up amazing

here are the 20 ga ones. http://shootersconnectionstore.com/Prog-Machine-font-colorblue20-GAUGEfontShotShell-font-colorblue20-GAUGEfontQuickStripper-font-colorblue20-GAUGEfont-P1935.aspx

This sport is cheap compared to the shotgun sports.

Ya but you only have to hit the second one lol. That said I have seen several people miss that second one trying to throw the first one so they can concentrate on just the second one. If your breaking the first target at the center stake your breaking it too late. 2/3 out form the house is more in the ballpark. If its broke at the center stake, the second bird is alaredy there and by the time you turn the gun and get back on it your playing catch up. Todd bender video with the eye cam shows you what you should be seeing on the doubles. Money well spent if there are not any good local instruction

The work around is an outlaw match. If it is a USPSA match, it needs to follow uspsa rules. If a varience has not been granted to the club to allow the rule change then what rule are you going to site when you DQ the shooter for breaking? How would any of the classifiers be considered legal since that rule change would be requireing one shooter to do something different from all the other shooters. Im not saying the club should do away with action shooting but it should not be a USPSA event if uspsa rules are not followed

Is that a good thing or a bad thing lol

I shoot the rifle/shotgun better than I do the pistol mainly because I have alot more time behind the shotgun. If I have to fight and have a choice the rifle is what Im going for first with the pistol last. Whats sad is one of my rifle barrels is only 1.5 inches longer than the pistol barre lol

There really is no way to shoot the clay on the ground as most will break on the ground some may not. It would not work if one guys target broke and the others didnt. In USPSA they are disappearing. In other outlaw matches, they disappear but there is no such thing as a disappearing target so if you dont hit them you adding quite a bit of time. In USPSA, they are like any other disappearing target. They may or may not be at an advantage to take them as and just like pistol disappearing targets no penalty for not shooting at them. If it is a pretty short COF with a fairly high HF and the disappearing targets require a reload to take them or no reload if you dont, there may not be much advantage to attempting them. In outlaw matches, if they arnt broke you are severly penalized so it is in you best interest to take them. It pretty much eliminates the gaming of the stage to save a reload

So I got the car smashed last week to the tune of several thousand bucks damage and a very messed up back. One would think that maby reduced hours would be the norm. Nope, been working a "regular" schedule since then with OT and all. Definately been a rough week. I guess the company can't afford for me to take off as they have no one else to do the work.

smooth fluid motion helps big time. Are you shooting with your arms moving the gun or shooting with your lower body. On double you always want to be in front of the second bird so dont ride the first too far where you are even or even behind the second bird. Your then likely to jerk the gun more and cause a miss. It is really hard to set the holdpoints/break points without actually seeing the person shoot as there can be alot of variables in what a person can do. There was a instructor not going to mention the name who could shoot but was not a very good good instructor because everyone was taught to shoot the exact same way he would. A good instructor can get you online pretty quickly and will help you get a style that works for you. I gave some lessons in the past and worked with what the shooter had to work with not how I shot as I had a couple odd ways I would shoot different targets especially low 8. Where most would say upper left hand side of window and ride it out my way was shove the gun directly in the hole and move up and hit it straight on very quickly. My reasoning was I would have max pattern spread and the quicker it got hit the less the wind could move it around. On doubles, especially in the middle 3 4 5 I would take the first shot then loop the gun down for the second shot instead of the more common up. It equaled a touch more gun movement but by lowering the gun some I had a better visual of the target especially if it was getting pressed down by the wind.

Big difference is in the loading port size. If your recoil sensative there are a couple things to do. 1) get a gas gun and not the benelli. The gas gun has much less felt recoil than a recoil operated gun. 2) weight is your friend. The heavier the gun is the less recoil your going to have from the said gun 3) good recoil pad. This really helps the felt recoil quite a bit. 4) light ammo. Low recoil slugs and 1oz 12 ga shells are your friend. The super hot 1 1/8 or 1 1/4 shells just beat you up without the gain. I have taken some pretty long shots with them and havent had trouble taking steel down with them Gonna disagree with having to shoot the 20ga more like a rifle. The pattern difference in a 20 and a 12ga is very slight and I would bet a miss with a 20 would have been a miss with a 12 ga as well

I would vote let the clubs go and host an action pistol or whatever they want to call it without the USPSA name associated. If I attend a santioned match in any disapline, USPSA,IDPA, ATA, NSSA, NSCA etc I expect to follow a specific set of rules. You should be able to attend any santioned match no matter where you are located and be ale to walk in and compete and not have to thing and remember ok here I have to reload this way, where at this club I need to load a different way. Have local rules of no barrel over berm and your just asking the non locals to get DQed. If your use to shooting that way and practice your loading that way its natural. If your use to loading with the barrel up and look the mag in with it pointing over the burm like you have done thousands of time in practice and other matches. I will bet when the timer is on your gonna do it sooner or later the way you practiced and go home.

Check Freedom gunworks out. His prices are very reasonable and he builds it with the parts so your not paying for parts to take them off and replace them.
