I had a great time. Good stages and it was nice to kick back and talk with other shooters at the hotel both nights.
Kudos to the match staff and RO's.
Count me in for next year.

The 180 was no issue, in my opinion, gun handling and shot execution is the shooters responsibility and part of the sport. IMHO I did not see anything that was a problem with any of the stages as far as the 180.
Constructive criticism on the flipper: hard to score the swinging no shoot and possible shoot thru- was it a no shoot only or a no shoot with a hit on a target- no way to really determine or score properly. . . .too much of a variable on the possible shoot thru-same if the shooter reloaded after the first flipper window- if a reload or 2 static were engaged fromt he second window one might get a no shoot and a hit on one of the 2 second window targets. . . how to determine or score??? bno real way to determine if the far no shoot was hit from where. . .
my .2
yep- i was not penalized on the flipper just so u know. . . just bad, slow shooting on my part. . . .just an observation.
weigh in folks,. . .

Before I levy any criticism, I must thank everyone that busted their butts to make the NC Section a great match. It was a lot of fun, it was VERY well organized, and EVERYONE on the ENTIRE staff was polite, helpful and prepared.
What I liked was the size of the stages. Big round count, some long hard shots, tight shots and a little hosing too! I also really got a kick out of the tombstone stage, although I was very slow on it, trying to make sure I got all my hits.
The only negative that our group commented on were the many opportunities to break the 180. There were a LOT of shots right along the line.
Otherwise, I spent over 12 hours in the car with 3 new friends, I had a great dinner and shot a fun match. I could only be happier if I beat Eddie.

I have the Dillon carbide $ die- 3 die set and an extra Redding size die. Both work fine. No problems with handloads for my 11.5 14, 16 and 16 bbls all with comps. . .

With the Ghost one may draw from "locked", disengaging the lock lever on the draw, or from "unlocked".
There is no lever to disangage when drawing from unlocked.

Ok in L-10- review rules.

A couple of things:
Think about the competitive nature of your firearm.- may be best not to bother with Production with a .45 as you will only get Minor scoring.
Think rather about L-10 as you are- that way you are more competitive with the firearm you are shooting. . .
Don't even bother with a non Dillon press if you are serious . .
The 550 is the best "beginners" buy- and it can be upgraded to load almost anything and, of course accessorized. . . to fit your needs in the future.
Unfortunatley, right now is a hard time for us "recyclers" reloaders- Primers are hard to get, if at all.
Save any and all brass you can get.
Talk to local shooters in your USPSA division, and local club match area for load data and suggestions and parts/ reloading stuff for sale- you may be able to hook up with a deal-
You'll probably have to buy a few powders and bullets before you settle on something . . .what is right for you, and your blaster that is. . .
Once you settle on a load- buy in bulk only- you will save $ big time and be ready for any shortages.
So, save your $ and be ready to jump on a deal. Find out what works for others, as they will likley help you, and buy in bulk when you can.
Go shoot!

Had one a few years back when I was dabbling in NRA bullseye . . .
Worked great for 1/2 season then would not extract reliably, went to S&W who did few things, sent it back, suggested ammo, then it kept on malfunctioning.
Tried a bunch of stuff and settled on a good solution. .. -I sold it.
If I were to go back to Bullseye, I would buy a .22 upper and shoot the 2700 with the same gun!

I did a quick search and didn't find anything (weak search-foo, I'm sure) which surprised me. Why are we stuck on the five minute time period for walkthroughs? I know there are often chances to check out stages the day prior etc, but that doesn't always work out. On typical field courses five minutes is often enough, but just barely so and it really depends on the size of the squad. On memory stages, it's usually not even close to enough. If you're shooting near the end, you can walk through while to paste targets and get a better plan, time to rehearse it, but if you're up early in the order you're hosed.
Why not make it ten minutes? Sure, it would make the match marginally longer, but even in a one day format you're not usually shooting more than nine or ten stages in a day. Sometimes you won't need all ten minutes and can start early, so it's probably only going to add 30 minutes or so to a match. Thoughts?
Ahem! the less rounds you gots
, the more figgerin' you needs! Most times anyway- -
C&S makes TIN pins in regular and oversize.
Yep< and the polished gold color adds extra "bling" ! Good product with C&S combo kits.

I know that Rich had to replace some of the parts, but, every gun is different, so what one gun needs isn't always what the next one does.
I was trying to separate two components of a trigger job: gusmith talent and the parts used. I personally don't think you can get a safe and reliable 20 ounce trigger with stock parts. Since Rich is a well known 1911 trigger guy, I was interested to see if he is able to do a safe and reliable 20 ounce trigger. If that is the case, then it's time for me to rethink my position and do some more learning.
Note: good pins make a difference- c/s has a nice set of polished TIN pins that go nicely with these kits. . . .If you're talking about the Cylinder and Slide over-sized pins sets (part number CS-015), you'll need to buy the reamers from Brownells.
The regular one have worked fine for me. . . and yes.

I've had super success with the Cylinder and Slide Ultra lite sets at 2.25-2.5# in my SS and LTD guns.
Just picked up the new Cyl and slide ultra lite speed 2 kits looks very promising and it still has a little spur for the operator to pull back on for dry firing ease.
As a rule for a drop in the c/s kits are top notch and will hold up to the competitive shooter.
Note: good pins make a difference- c/s has a nice set of polished TIN pins that go nicely with these kits. . . .
Usually I adjust the sear spring for proper tension on the legs, polish the inside of the m/s housing as applicable and its good to go.
never tried the extreme kits but I understand they are about the same as the c/s kits.
Do they typically require fitting?
The "fitting mine have required are:
Check disconnect, hammer and sear pin holes for burrs, make sure hammer "slot" area is smooth and free of burrs, closely inspect with maginfier the through holes on hammer and sear, smooth and polish sear sping contact points- carefully!-lube, instal, run safety checks as applicable. . .
I've never adjusted sear angles or hammer hooks.
Check hammer and sear pins for "through" length to frame for proper safety operation to get that positive feel . .
Hope this helps-

Is this still cheaper than golf?
Even if it was would golf be better??
..... I think not
never been a golfer- only a shooter. . .

Unfortunatley, with all jokes aside, we're still being "starved out". . .
Just trying to bring a little levity . . . .

For those who dont know, as of April 2 2009 primers are now a commodity. Google primers as commodity.
The big few may be holding shipment/s in order to "starve out" the supply.
Demand then being high, and no supply, the big few may be out to set price at a much higher level.
I've had an order for primers on backorder for 5 cases since November.
I just cant fathom that no primers are available anywhere in any real quantity needed by the competitive shooter- there has to be a bigger reason . . .
That was an April Fool's Day joke.
Said to say the primers situation is what it is . . . .

I guess the arrows are a sort of " this side toward enemy" reminder
Of course, I realize we are shooting at paper and steel!

Seeing the majestic grace of and Eagle will give one chills.
I see them regularly in far eastern NC in my job travels. One soared next to me parallel to my car on the highway one day over a logging cut down.
The last time a few weks ago I almost hit one as he swooped across my path with what appeared to be a Nutria in his talons.
The Nutria, I believe was to be disassembled shortly . . .
Anyway, what a thrill!

Some times the m/s cap can get worn producing extra movement in the strut- Check for gouging and wear at the cap cup.
EGW ti I found is wide and long. Count on doing some smithing. . .

I for one am grateful I have XM Radio, Deep Tracks channel and also Random Rock 40 $ 161 respectively. Good cross section of music that runs from mid 60's on up. No crap (so far) also some interesting background especially on the weekends. Who met whom when and where etc.
Sirius "The Vault" is good- similar. . . they paly the deep unheard trax. . .
Sat radio is the only way to go in radio these days anyway!
Especially if you are and "on the road workplace person these days!
, the more figgerin' you needs! Most times anyway-
