As of the 1:48pm update there have been 9 DQ's reported. One with Sara D. shooting sub-minor, and Rob's gun drop. Any idea what the others were for?
Hate to nitpick but subminor is not a dq.
-
i dont have it any more but when i had my shadow i used a ready tactical drop/offset for an sti edge. it worked great.
-
holy crap, i just saw the stage names.
-
Saw a few Open guns in the results.....illegal guns? What would most likely cause that? Weight?
box or weight.

since i'm shooting friday and not sat/sun i guess i might partake in the crawfish this year.

The only reason for the trigger finger to be inside the trigger well is to discharge the weapon. Taking a sight picture with a loaded gun with the finger in the trigger well is simply unsafe and an accident waiting to happen.
So if that's the case, dryfiring to "if clear, hammer down, holster" is also unsafe.
Guess you missed the "loaded gun" part in my post.
No I did not.
Then you agree that it's unsafe for the finger to be in the trigger well of a loaded gun while taking a sight picture.
No I do not.

I have this G-Shock and I absolutely love it. Pretty basic and no frills but I wear it daily since I got it and it replaced my favorite watch before it, one of the Seiko divers.

You won't find a rule on time limit for make ready because there isn't one. Did the RO actually stop lower classed/unknown competitors from taking a long time to make ready but allowed the "super star?" Or did you simply just witness the "super star" take a longer make ready? While it is annoying, I don't know that I've ever seen an RO say anything to a competitor about taking too long to make ready. And and I've seen plenty shooters view the stage one final time after the competitor before him has shot. Some ROs will ask you to come to the line, others will let you finish. It depends on the RO and not the shooter in every instance I've ever witnessed

Best reply of the thread.

Thread drift, can you run extended basepads in production, if you still only put 10 rounds in them?
Gotta fit the box....
You cannot run them regardless of if they fit in the box. They are an external modification. Here is the NROI Ruling on basepads.
That ruling is ~4 years old....
D4 - 21.7 magazines
Prior restrictions on magazines have been lifted. OEM and aftermarket magazines and base-pads may be used. However, any and all magazines used in competition, must fit into the USPSAbox while empty and inserted in the handgun as described in item 7 of this appendix. Grip tape and/or skate board tape are specifically allowed on magazines and basepads

As long as it fits in the box and makes weight, yes.

Yeah, I hate having to pull out too....

Buy the kid a class and some ammo.
-
5-6 depending on the club/range.

Matches are great, but dollar for dollar you will learn more at a good class like Ben's. And if the fun part of matches is the shooting part, then the class should be even more fun considering you will shoot 10 times more rounds...
I couldn't agree more. I wasn't in Ben's class this past weekend but I know people that were and I've shot with them regularly and even only seeing them shoot a stage or two showed me drastic differences. Take this if you can.

I wear 6 pouches with 6 mags in Production. I start from the last one and have 5 to reload from. On some stages I have even gone up with the 6 on my belt plus a start mag. Better safe than sorry.
Hell, when I shot limited I'd have 5 mags total.

Andy, your synopsis is spot on. Well done, just the same.
Also, PM me your address. Not sure if you saw my post on FB but I have your goodies from the prize table.

so is there any good sushi near the range?

so you're saying two guys with absolutely equal skill and shooting ability but ~100 pounds difference between them will have the exact same times over 5 or 8 or 12 stages?
