Must...........resist..............must................resist..................must.................resist.............. Based on this, maybe there will be more dropouts than you think.................. In all fairness, USPSA has never told me this, nor do I think they ever will. Must..............resist................must................resist............

Regardless, DP is one of Rebecca's lifelong sponsors. Rich

+2 and can I get a big Amen............. R

Have to say a public congratulations to Rebecca for her recent win at the Open Nationals. I know she's worked hard this year and despite some gun and scope issues, managed to come out on top. We're mighty proud of her and her accomplishments. Congrats, Bec, you deserve it. And just for the record, I'm proud of you all the time, not just when you're running around with a gun.......... DP

Trying to find the official USPSA press release for the '08 Nationals, and the list of media-type folks who would receive it, i.e., radio, newspaper, TV, etc. Thanks. Richard Jones Rice, VA

Well, yes, I am somewhat biased, no shame there........... Congrats to Rebecca for her High Lady Open, High A Open, 4th overall Open at the VA/MD Section Match held this past weekend in the not-so-cool confines of Fredericksburg, VA. And congrats to all who endured the heat. Did I mention I was proud? Good job, Bec! Richard Jones Rice, VA

Just a quick and public congratulations to Rebecca for her recent High Lady at Area 8. Clean match, great percentage, great overall placement. Good job, Bec. BTW, didn't the guy holding the camera behind you in Alan's pic win as well? Bec Rich

Crimson Trace, of course............. You're worth it, right? rich

Anyone ever tried this? Thought I'd give it a go for Steel Challenge, have a spare Serendipity in the safe that I don't mind chopping up. Thanks. Rich

re: practice range..........<<Jeez...I hope this isn't the case, getting nickeled and dimed at every turn now......Now that I think of it ?? do you pay to practice at the California SC ?? I've only been once.>> Yes, there is a charge in CA. Oh, BTW, I believe that lunch is being served to everyone on Friday and Saturday for free………………. But, they do that at the Nationals, don't they? Rich

Just got off the phone with Rebecca, Todd just told her that Kay C-M just got bitten by a snake and is being treated at a local hospital. Anit-venin was mentioned as well so I assume that it was poisonous. From what Todd said, she will be in the hospital for several days, out of commission for a couple of months. Of course, our thoughts and prayers are with Kay and Jerry and family. Will know more later and pass it along. Richard Jones Rice, VA

"Richard, show Todd the video. He will get a kick out of it. Then ask him about my house in VA." Will do, and thanks for the comeback. Rich

Thanks to all for the info, guess I need to go practice some. Consistent .7 draws and .11-.13 splits at an IPSC target at 10 yards is going to take me a while. Guess I didn't realize that it is such a common occurrence. "FWIW...there are a lot of people out there that "we've never heard of" that I wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of a gunfight with." No doubt, but not the issue here. As a "top competitor", it's someone that I/we should have heard of, hence my confusion. Anyway, I figured out what I wanted to know. And for those concerned, I'm putting away the razor blade for now....... R

Got this link to a video, was wondering who it is, as I don't recognize the shooter. Whoever it is, pretty darn good to shoot this fast doing a Mozambique, especially with a Taurus 1911 and a Kytac holster. Don't get to see the hits, but what the heck, you believe him, don't you? I was also told that when he was "competing", he was doing consistent .7 draws. To be truthful, I have apparently been training the wrong way, as I can't do that on a ONE yard target and don't even know anyone that knows anyone that can do that, so I was wondering, maybe he would teach a class.............. I think there are a couple of more videos there as well............. I understand that he is a "top competitor" that shoots a lot with Rob and Todd and Brian and Jerry and others, so you may understand my confusion when I say that I don't recognize him, but I've only been shooting for 10 years. He also knows 20-30 other shooters that can easily do this at 10 yards, so I am really frustrated, as I don't know any of them, either. I haven't had a chance to ask Todd about it, what with the S&W today, but I'll try one day next week........... Look familiar? How about helping a guy out? Thanks in advance............. Richard (thinking of turning in the M card) Jones Rice, VA Mozambique

Always a class act...............and now.............. Congratulations to Rebecca for that A Open card!!! Good work, Bec, that dryfiring stuff really DOES pay off, doesn't it? Rich (yeah, I'm a proud dad) in VA
