There's a big established thread going already: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=97035&view=getnewpost&hl=&fromsearch=1

Multiple classifiers on the same day will go in in *order submitted*. So in your case, most likely Stage number. Alan I thought they went in lowest first. That's how mine show up from a special a few months ago.

I picked up a NIB k-dot for $600 on gunbroker a few weeks ago.

Changing the targets won't make USPSA PC. We still run around with loaded handguns shooting things quickly. Steel challenge is as PC as a handgun sport can get, and I don't see the mainstream sponsors lining up.

Please define, or explain "code" as it relates to pistol shooting. Oldtrooper If I read the post you quoted correctly, you could replace it with 'discipline'.

Jay, lot #1930? It took me 3.7gr to get to 134PF.

When you realize that the eye and ear protection you put on to mow the lawn cost more than your lawnmower.

6 mags should do it for L10. That's what I use for production. I have 4 on the belt, one barney, and one in the gun to start.

I read this as legal, but I wouldn't at all be surprised by someone giving you trouble over it.

Pretty much the only time I tac load in IDPA is when it's required. Either by the stage briefing, or due to activators etc. Every once in a great while there's an advantage to tac loading while moving behind cover, but it's pretty rare.

Solo 1000 varies a bunch from lot to lot. I got data from the forum that suggested 3.2gr with a 147 moly lead bullet, for 130ish PF. I ended up working up to 3.7gr to get 134 PF. Any time the lot changes, I'd start low and work up.

In that case, I probably wouldn't change springs. The reason a lot of people run lighter springs in competition is that they also run softer ammo.

The same thing happened to me. I shot a classifier match with 6 stages and got a percentage based on the top 4. This months update dropped the percentage by counting all six. Are you sure they were all Y last month?

This depends greatly on where you are, and how your club runs. There are tons of 20-30 shooters at my clubs. Maybe a discussion of shooter demographics merits its own thread.

Yes. We strickly enforce a 9mm to 45acp policy. Apart from the minimum caliber and power factor rules, each one of our stages has steel activated moving targets. .22 won't cut it. We have many matches in our local area to included Steel Challenge matches. Steel Challenge is the place for .22 rimfire, but even there THE MATCH is not the place to teach a child (or adult for that matter) to shoot. Learn to shoot first, then come to the match. We don't have the capacity for side matches or fun shoots. Our match attendance pushes our time limits each and every weekend. "Shooter charity" detracts from everyone's match experience. We work well with new shooters and make them feel welcome, but like I said before, a match is not the place to learn how to shoot. OK, fair enough. There's no Steel Challenge in the immediate area here, and our club matches don't have any capacity issues. I never said a match was a place for someone to learn to shoot; I'm not sure where that came from. I agree 100% that there shouldn't be an official IDPA 22 division for the reasons stated. Would you agree that it's up to the local match director whether to allow someone to do it for fun alongside the IDPA match?

So, if someone brings their child along and asks if they can shoot some stages with the 22, you'd turn them away? If they've demonstrated an ability to do so safely, I just don't see a reason. You could well be turning away 2 shooters, if the only way Dad can shoot is if he brings Junior along. I agree that local matches still need to follow the rules, but I don't know why you couldn't have a 'juniors 22 fun shoot' along side your IDPA match.

I won't turn away someone with a 22 at a local match (especially a junior), but they won't be shooting for score either. No place for it at sanctioned matches imo.

Cheap steel cased import ammo can be marginal sometimes. Also, nearly all factory 38 special ball ammo is sub-minor. Doesn't come up much in USPSA, but it does in IDPA.

Thinking Practical Shooting by Saul Kirsch Refinement and Repetition by Steve Anderson Along with Brian's book, these make up the big three for me. I'm just a D class about to move up to C, but since reading these and working the drills from Steve's book, I'm climbing up the match results.

I think the larger issue is defining just what factory quantity of 500 means regarding AR-15s. I'm in the process of building a new rifle that I may end up using for 3-gun/rifle matches (in tac optics). I'm building the gun on Anvil Arms receivers. Anvil sold complete rifles, but I have no idea how many or what configuration or if that mattered. My conclusion was that whatever the rule actually means, I see plenty of people with self-assembled franken-guns, so I wasn't going to worry about it. It would be nice to get some clarification of the rule though.

This was at a local match, but it fits right in with this thread. "Glocks are designed so you clear a squib by just firing the next round. It was an Austrian Army requirement."

ICORE is even harsher. A B is 1 sec, a C is 2, and a miss is 5.
