Thanks!

Shot a fundraiser match today(for a retired navy seal). I was able to take HOA production. I shot ok but have a lot to work on. However slowly but surely, I'm starting to learn the CZ. It's going to take a little bit to get up to speed but once I do, I feel like my game will be exponentially improved.

Finally I was able to pick up a shadow...all I can say is that after a couple weeks, I should be ok

Here's the same video...just w/o music. (Available on mobile)

Thank you sir. My next major is most likely the pro-am....and then on to the IPSC nats followed by the USPSA nats a week after. If I keep at it, I should be in good shape. If only I could find a darn CZ...lol

Thanks Miguel for the video and Smitty for the match!

Me too..

Thanks for the suggestions. I was hoping that someone might already have one they're getting rid of before having to order one. But, might just have to order..

Been real busy with school and all but now that summer is here, I can start training more. Anyone out there know any places to look for a CZ shadow ?

I started when I was 12. I'm now 16 and just made GM before my 16th birthday. Personally, I think it all depends on their maturity level as well as their physical abilities.

Just wondering...about how long does it take to receive conformation after sending in your slot to HQ? (production match...)

Anyone have any experience with the 147 bayous? I've always shot 147s out of my m&p so I plan to stick with them...anyone using 'em in their CZ?

Have probably over 20-30k thru my 9L. The only major thing I had to replace was the barrel (velocity was getting slow). But it was only like 80 bucks...aside from that, I've only replaced springs like striker and recoil springs.

I would love to see that kind of accuracy from my Pro .40. I sent it to S&W and they gave me a new barrel. The new on is no better than the old one. Ya, kind of dissapointing to hear these accuracy problems. My 9L was bought in '08, when they first were becoming popular. It has to have over 50k rounds too...I just recently replaced the barrel with another stock barrel since my velocities were getting a bit slow. Keeps on running...

Pretty sure registration is wed. the 16th and shooting is the 17th-19th.

Thanks for the help!

So if I understand all this correctly, have spare slide stop and trigger return spring. Clean extractor regulary and lube often. Miss anything?

Tough time at Area 6. Didn't do as well as I'd like to, probably due to a lack of live fire practice and not-so-great conditions. But I learned a couple things so that's good. I guess it might be better to do not-so-great and learn some valuable things than shoot decent but walk away with nothing? I ending up shooting like 84% of HOA production. I had two rough stages that probably took me out of the match. Back to the drawing board and practice...

Thank you!

Thank you very much!

It seems that m&p barrels vary. In my 9L, with bayous 147, I was getting under 2in at 20. (with a not so great rest) That's plenty accurate for me.

Thanks Cliff

Thanks!

When I first started shooting this sport, I guess 4 years ago (time flies!), one of my goals was to make GM by the time I turned 15. Well, it looks like I just barely achieved this goal (I turn 16 in a couple weeks). With the new classification update, I just edged out at 95.98 % to get GM. I know that now, the real hard work begins. But, I'm not intimidated. I look forward to the journey of reaching my highest potential yet. I know if I put my mind to it, anything is possible. I have Area 6 coming up...better dryfire...lots. Later, Jason
