Thanks, I had the same problem with new mags and TTI extended base pads.

I agree.

All new mags seem to benefit from being fully loaded and sitting for a week to month to become reliable.

Looks great, can't wait. Thanks to all the hardworking staff at WCRHA.

OK. Have fun, be safe. All are welcome.

See you there, Doc. Bring a buck to bet on the match. I spent the last buck I won from you on a prophylactic to take along on my next visit to my uncle's sheep farm.

Welcome to Michigan.

A motel will be more like 50 bucks, nice and clean, too. Acorn Motel 517-655-6793 Williamston Inn 517-655-3773 Both are three miles from the range. The Willamston Inn is across the road from the match restaurant, Spag's Bar and Grill. The match fee is $100, extended. Gas will be half what you quoted if you take either Honda. It's cheaper than that hooker that Eilliot Spitzer hired and we are going to have more fun than he did, at least after he got caught.

They paid me $500 to stay home! I will still make money even after I buy the T-shirt.

I bid $450 on that T-shirt!

I was surprised to discover that after attending this class I still have to take what amounts to the CRO correspondence course, which I already had sitting on my desk. Now I am no closer to becoming a CRO than I was before the class, except I am out the $100 I spent on gas getting there. My CRO friends who had previously taken this course said it was completed after two days. They told me to attend the class in person in lieu of the correspondence course, this was much more fun and more expedient. Now I have to follow up with mailing two stages accompanied with five documents each. One document seems to go by two different names and I get more confused every time I look at my notes. I wish that I had known about the class procedure changes before the class. We were all instructed to bring a stage to class but we never even got them out. The Power Point on the screen did not match my notebook and I am confused exactly how I am supposed to follow up and become a CRO. There were a lot of rushed instructions given as to the procedure given in the last 20 minutues of class and I could not keep up with my note taking. I do not have complete written instructions as to the next steps. This appears to be a transition time for this class, half old procedure, half new procedure and somewhat half assed to boot. Sorry for the rant, I am tired, Bart.

I agree, an extended slide stop was originated for NRA bullseye one handed shooting and is not combat shooting appropriate. Bullseye shooters like to drop the slide stop with their strong hand. Combat shooters like to drop the slide stop with the thumb of the weak hand as a follow up motion to slamming home a fresh mag.

My Mom died tonight, after two heart attacks in two weeks. R.I.P. She was 81, yesterday, and lived just long enough to see my daughter one last time. Mom saved my life from drowning when I was only five, I will never forget that day and I regret that I never was able to return the favor. I did everything that I could but nothing I could do would keep her here after today. I thank my family and friends for their sympathy. This was the worst week of my life, my Mom and my favorite friend passsing in the same week. But this will serve to make all our lives better. The words of my friend, Jack, are not those of a professional writer, but he has sent me words in private that are those of a very wise and eloquent person. No one ever said life would be easy, everything worth anything is a hell of a lot of work.

I knew Jeff Berger for 30 years. We worked together at Elderly Instruments, a music store in Lansing, Michigan during the 1970's. Jeff was attending Michigan State University earning an engineering degree. Jeff was always one of my favorite friends. It was a real treat to be with him both on and off the range. His death was a shock to family and friends alike, very unexpected. Jeff leaves behind a lovely wife and two fine sons in their 20's. Jeff excelled in his every endeavor. He played guitar much better than I shoot. He became an accomplished shooter in his few short years competing in IDPA. He loved his wife, loved his kids, loved his Smiths, loved his guitars, loved his home and surrounding land that was restored to prime wildlife habitat. He had all the business he could handle with his own consulting business. The unfairness of Jeff's untilmely death is very hard to bear, he was only 53. This is all so hard to handle; first Bilby, then Bever and now Berger gone from the ranges in Michigan forever. I had looked forward to shooting with Jeff every summer Saturday until we were too old to see the sights. Brothers in arms, always. R.I.P.

I cast 4,000 bullets in 40 caliber a couple months ago one rainy afternoon. I shot them up in practice already. They work fine. I got lead free, 500 lbs. Mostly wheel weights. I pulled lead out of the backstop too, picking it up after hours. A club member is sifting lead out of the backstop a few hours a week. He got one ton this summer. I like the 4" Ruger 22/45 for practcie using Wal Mart 22 ammo. Mine fits in my XD holster pefectly.

Greg Bever is dying, it is very sad. Say a prayer for a buddy lost on the range.

Manny Bragg refusing to sign his score sheet until the RO changed a C hit to a D hit. Manny really had to insist the RO change the score sheet to Many's disadvantage.

Thanks for the info and shooting opportunity, good luck to you guys and gals.

Ouch!

Take that, you dirty rat! Boom. boom. boom.

There was a sign up at the Buckeye match last month that read "Gary Stevens for USPSA President".

The original Raccoon Hunters club may want to retain their club number so as to exercise the option of continuing the USPSA program under a new match director. Just as the match director that is coming to my club leaves the club number at his old club so they may retain the option of continuing a program under a new match director. Club numbers are club property, especially if they paid the affiliation fee. Taking the club number with you would be the same as taking the poppers.

An existing USPSA club match director is moving to my club next year to run USPSA matches at my club. The former club retains the original club number of MI03. The new program at my club will have a new club number, likely MI17 or MI18. The club number is the property of the club that paid the affiliation fee and has a receipt for such payment. I would never think my club could possess a club number of a club that will likely continue USPSA programs.

The guys that ran it had their club memberships revoked.
