Bob chromed my Colt Gold Cup years ago when his shop was here in Tampa and last year I won a certificate which I used on a new STI Trojan. Both jobs were perfect!

Hey Donn, Have you petitioned MV yet for the Iraqi USPSA club yet? Who's your section coordinator? Best of luck against those deadly cigarettes! (You gotta get after BH A with your open gun, that's the answer to bent iron sights!) Keep safe, Jim

I hate that they ruined the original music!

It's the humidity guys! Damp cold has got to be the coldest kind of cold!!!!!!

TG I've noticed what you are talking about. I have been on a squad of 80 year old single stack shooters that probably could have shot faster using their walkers , but being on their squad with them I had no idea about run times prior to shooting the stage. I have shot on squads with GM and M class shooters and knew exactly what was needed for a good run. What I found to be interesting was that I performed better on the geriatic squad because I did not push myself beyond what I could do, I just did what I could do with no performance pressure. The same thing applies when you are shooting in a squad mostly populated by a division other than yours, ie. revlover vs limited.

Hey Bill, Isn't that the recycled stuff some people call beer?

I've bought from them twice, no problems at all. The red fibre is not quite as bright as Caspian's but if you change it out every couple of months it will work fine.

A buddy sent me this and I thought I'd share it ..... Pocket Taser Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife. A guy who Purchased his lovely wife a pocket Taser for their anniversary submitted this : Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 22nd anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Toni. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized taser. The effects of the taser were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety.... WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded two triple-a batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button AND Pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I'd get the blue arch of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs. Awesome!!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Toni what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave. Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two triple-a batteries, right?!! There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intentl y (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target. I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong? So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading Glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and taser in another. The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was Supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries. All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference; pretty cute really and loaded with two itsy, bitsy triple-a batteries) thinking to myself, "no possible way!" What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best... I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side as to say, "don't do it master," reasoning that a one-second burst from such a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad.. I decided to give myself a one-second burst just for the heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION@!@$$!%!@*!!! I'm pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs. The cat was standing over me making meowing sounds I had never heard before, lick ing my face, undoubtedly thinking to herself, "do it again, do it again!" Note: If you ever feel compelled to "mug" yourself with a taser, one note of caution: there is no such thing as a one-second burst when you zap yourself. You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor. A three second burst would be considered conservative. SON-OF-A-... that hurt like hell!!! A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. How did they up get there??? My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. I'm still looking for my testicles? I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return. Still in shock, Earl

National Champs! How sweet it is! Let's not forget the Gators are round ball National Champs too! GO GATORS !

Ah come on Leo, we're not that bad The embedded RO thing should work if everybody is up to date on the current rules.

How 'bout them GATORS!

Guys, Pause for a moment and think, the safety rules are very basic and simple. It's not rocket science! Their enforcement needs to be instant, consistant, and firmly delivered. IMHO safety issues get a very short leash, screw up = DQ, DQ x ? = Banned (? = MD (et all) discretion). Again, put it in perspective, the rules are so very simple and basic that anybody can follow them. Good luck Paul

Eric, Frank Garcia tought us, for long transitions between targets, to let go of the gun and swing or pump the arm to help the shooter go faster. For the short distances, don't let go of the gun. Pretty much what your are discovering.

+1 on the Extreme that 10mmDave mentioned. I like mine a lot, lift it about a quarter of an inch and it's released and ready to go!

That's the great thing about this forum, if you read it regularly, you will be well informed with current, up to date, factual information.

Nice Sharyn ! Really good job! Good music, excellant editing, and even better subtitles! Hey Sandro, I feel your pain buddy. Good luck at the Nationals, bring home the bling!

Cliff, The woo-hoo-hoo song and your video will be inshrined in the shooter's hall of fame, or is it hall of shame Heck they even give awards for the best dumb pet tricks, you never know, you could be in line here for something here. Just trying to give a bud a plug for an exceptional performance.

Dan, You have got to add the Vonnage sound track to the video, it seems to be made for it!

!!!!!

Smitty build a box!

See if you can get the dovetail recut to .330 at 65 degrees. Caspian makes fiber sights that will then work. They have several options for widths and heights to choose from.

I used to break those pins regularly until I placed a piece of o-ring rubber under the leaf. It needs to be compressed slightly with the elevation control screw. This fix seems to dampen the recoil shock that the pin absorbs.

I have to disagree, it has to be shooter failure. My club owns one of those step on activator props, and as RTR speculated, the shooter must have inadvertentley opened the prop. The prop was not broken, just mis-used. Think of opening a door that allows access to targets, the shooter doesn't rotate the knob far enough to open it, or he chooses to push instead of pull it to open, how is this the prop's fault? A better example is not opening a door far enough to activate moving targets. The shooter must do what is required of the prop, ie. follow the written stage procedures ... 'step on activator, shoot target', or 'open the door to activate the swinger, shoot target'! Props used in matches have to function the same for all shooters. Woe be onto any shooter who influences the props to prevent their correct functioning, they are obliged to set it right (undo whatever they did to it) and get on with the shooting.

Hmm .. you learn fast grasshopper

Smitty has wanted to do one for a long time, maybe it's time! He's got a chrono
