  1. I'd be happy if the member number thing got fixed with the sync issue seemingly figured out, the number auto populate would have the app doing everything I need it to do. I guess I'd like the app to make me sammiches too, but I can wait for that.
  2. No respect I tell ya, no respect. I'm like Rodney Dangerfield over here
  3. Is the USPSA member number autopopulate thing in the "enter shooters" screen going to fixed in .18?
  4. If you can't hit it slow, you're not doing yourself any favors. Slow mikes and deltas are the worst of both worlds.
  5. I don't know about throat punching, but i am tempted to respond with a snarky comment about that mentality being why people get stuck in C/B class for years and years. Going slow doesn't necessarily equal better hits. That advice to go slow completely misses the point. Don't go slow to get hits, learn how to pull the trigger better to get hits.
  6. Problem solved - The app needs to be removed completely and reinstalled, then sync works. I like the battery level feature. It would've been good to know before trying to run a match on them though.
  7. What would cause devices (Kindle Fire HDs) running 1.2.17 to not be able to sync at all?
  8. 2.17 appears to have completely messed up my system. None of the android devices can see one another to sync. Is there anyway I can get an old version?

    Trying to run a match and shoot a match at the same time is tough thing to do, no question. I'm still envious of your trigger speed.

    Yeah, stage 6 was the only one. So about that practicing vs. drinking thing, what's your poison of choice? It's on me.

    P-09?

    Do you think an after market hammer is worth upgrading (understanding it would not be production-legal at this time)? Or is the stock hammer good enough with the short reset kit installed? My reference for comparison is an SP-01 (non-shadow) with a shadow hammer. The stock hammer hooks are HUGE, and the SA is pretty creepy as a result. Nothing that can't be fixed with some careful stoning though.

    that is truth! I don't think even one of those unicorn tanfo things could have helped me on Friday... but I was tempted to get the beretta back out of the safe friday night and toss the glock into the pond accross the street! Congrats on the M-class win! I somehow missed you on the range... what day did you shoot? -rvb Thanks! I'm always tempted to throw mine in the river. At least 2-3 times on Saturday, I kicked myself for not taking Craig up on his offer to shoot the Accu-Shadow.

    It's most definitely the gun! Glocks are turds!
  14. I can work some magic on that 75 They can be a bit rough out of the box. I figured out a few more trick on the P09 if you're thinking about a cheap production gun with a nice trigger.
  15. Are you going to use the rule book definition of "facing uprange" or your own?
  16. Really? 10.5.2 still suggests that if you break the 180 with the muzzle, it's a DQ...... So even if 10.5.16 comes off the table, 10.5.2 is still in play. Rather than accuse ROs of ignoring the rule book, why not consider getting the education by attending an RO class? The problem is some folks seem to think NOT breaking the 180 is a DQ-able offense, because of some odd definition of "muzzle line" that doesn't reference the muzzle and "what we all know" facing uprange means instead of the rulebook definition and hips and shoulders and whatever other stuff has been thrown in in place of what seems to me perfectly comprehensible official rulings.
  17. Depends. If you're rocking one of those race holsters at the appendix position with an aggressive rearward cant (butt angled rearward, muzzle pointing in front of you as it's holstered), then 90 degrees won't be enough to get the muzzle line past the 180.
  18. Seems to me this makes it easier. In the small time between the trigger becoming accessible - 'drawn,' and the muzzle itself becoming visible (upon which to make a 10.5.2 call), the holster's muzzle line controls. Once the muzzle itself clears kydex and is visible, 10.5.2 takes over. 10.5.6 grants a safe harbor of 3 ft while facing downrange, which is defined as the exact opposite of facing uprange. My reading would be if you aren't facing exactly down range, there is no 3ft radius safe harbor. Break 180, you're done.
  19. I have to wonder how "muzzle line" came to be interpreted as a line that does not reference or even come close to the muzzle? or why we would be concerned with the "muzzle line" as a line from "bottom of the grip to the top of the rear sight" crossing 90 from the median intercept in one context and the actual muzzle line indicated by muzzle direction in every other. My best guess is a prolonged game of "telephone" But it seems to be clear now.
  20. Just like they would anywhere else on the stage, so long as the muzzle doesn't break the 180. E.g. on stage like this (at 0:46) http://youtu.be/A5GcxKcEwU8?t=43s
  21. See? Told ya so. Some ROs will do what they want, regardless of the rules.
  22. "we all know" he should be internet DQed, rule book be damned!
