The stage in the video was a short and sweet one that would be fast to reset. I'm guessing that all the extra time cost them was time to stand around at the next stage waiting for the squad ahead of them to finish.

Complaints are few people the people who don't like the rule choose not to shoot there.

I glance at the time on the way back. I don't pay enough attention to read the whole thing exactly until the range is clear, but I get enough to realize if it picks up something during ULASC.

If you think building a 6" is a waste of time and money, what's wrong with letting your competition do so?

Do you have any video of your briefing and a stage run for those of us who weren't there? From your post, it sounds like you're doing things right.

Dunno why people didn't get this, I thought it was hilarious. Think paper targets, pepper poppers, and a texas star.

Wow, FLA/NJ was one hell of a game tonight!

Part of the problem is that Beretta doesn't sell the Elite series anymore, so even if you wanted to buy Ben's gun, you can't. I think the obvious case study is Dave Sevigny. I haven't been shooting that long (2007), and I went straight in to competition, so I'm a bad judge. My impression is that Dave did a lot to popularize the Glock in competition shooting and that that spilled out in to the general public. Does anyone have a better feel for that?

Price is probably a big factor too. SIGs cost $250+ more than the more popular production/SSP guns.

I sure wouldn't want to be the RO who flagrantly ignored the safety rules if a shooter who should've been DQ'd later hurt himself or someone else.

Sounds like you have a potential side business. Offer them a little more money than the scrap guy is paying. Sell all the good brass and sell the rest to the scrap guy at the original price.

Yeah, John likes his. I'm probably going to order one soon since my old timer walked away at a match.

Not that I know of. I think you're stuck with the ugly ones.

USPSA lays out a variety of interesting shooting problems and then lets you shoot them however you want within a consistent fair set of rules. Shooters are some of the most helpful, giving, happy people I know. USPSA is a member driven org. When something gets out of whack with what the membership wants (like the 3lb production trigger rule) it gets fixed quickly.

Yes. My membership exipred at the end of January and I bought a life membership on Feb 14. The *CLASSIFIER* that I shot on 2/12 counted.

If you file online, you can set the payment to occur any day you want up to the due date. File in feb and have your account debited on the 15th.

This. I shot a classifier match yesterday, and I'm at just over 60. I thought about shooting a different division this coming Sunday to guarantee the bump to B, but decided to just shoot and let things fall how they may.

Pick one and put in some solid practice time with it alone for say 3 months. You may find the improvement in your scores addictive. That's what happened to me. I got a new single stack rig all set up. Procrastination on load development kept my shooting production all winter. I now feel like I've hit my stride with the production gun and it's hard to put down. I'm planning to stick with it at least until I reach another performance plateau.

I can, and I'm nobody special. Just an RO, not a club contact or anything.

Found out when I got to the match today that it was a special with 4 classifiers. Scores were 56%, 58%, 63%, and 68%. The 58 is a dupe of a 62 from February. If I did the math right (another duplicate score aged off), I'm sitting at right now 60.2%. I'm shooting next Sunday, and next on the chopping block is a 62.5%. So, to get bumped next update, I need to be below 35, or above 62. I thought about shooting a different division, but if I make it this month I make it, otherwise it'll come soon enough.

Wind maybe?

Learn to homebrew. It's like reloading, but for beer.

I'd take the new job, but I'm biased, I also work in embedded and love it. If it were just more money for more of the same work, it'd be a tradeoff, but since it's work you love and has better advancement opportunities, it would be hard for me to pass up.

Strong disagree. I can and have used turbo tax for years. I have had a tax service refigure them a couple times but TT gets me more back. Im a DINK with a simple return for the most part. Never been audited and dont fear one. +1. If you're a W2 employee, it's just not that complicated. I enter my W2, 1099-INTs, 1098 for mortgage interest deduction, add up my charity receipts, and I'm done.

No, sabots are for rifled barrels. Rifled slugs for smooth bores.
