  1. What a Valentines Day gift.. Got my 'A' card. Now I'm on my w'A'y to 'M'. [edit] OH YEAH, Production Division [/edit]
  2. Because they like Production shooters better than Limited shooters.
  3. After 8+ years of shooting this sport you'ld think I would have learned and the truth is I haven't done it in probably 5 years but there I was shooting heads up in the Florida Open Shoot Off for all the marbles, I draw and shoot the front big popper, stick a perfect reload and as the mag is inserting into the magwell I see that grey M&P mag follower. "CRAP that mag is empty" as it clicks into place so I stick another perfect reload but that ain't going to cut it when you are shooting against someone as good as Kevin. Second run I had no excuse I just missed my first shot at the stop popper and Kevin didn't but I'ld sure like to know what would have happened if I hadn't caught such a bad case of sphincter-noggin.
  4. I really enjoyed this match. I thought that the 100+ gun thing was cool even though I don't shoot this sport for the prizes. The format was the best I've seen out of all the matches I've shot but one way to avoid some of the late entries complaining (Which you'll always get some) may be to have Sat.AM/Sun.AM and Sat.PM/Sun.PM instead of Sat.AM/Sun.PM and Sat.PM/Sun.AM. It spreads the down time evenly. Stages were good. Very challenging and enjoyable. I'ld shoot the exact same match again.
  5. If I remember correctly, SmittyFL won Limited, Kevin Insco (who I had the pleasure to be squadded with) won Production and Lesgar won Open. Yeah! Kevin won Production. .................
  6. Man, What a blast. I had a great time at my 1st Fl. Open and I'll be back next year. Congrats Shannon, Max, Dave, Jeff D., Ricardo (the guy is AMAZING with revolver) and all the other deserving winners.
  7. "Got That Feeling" by Faith no More
  8. I don't mean it as a bad thing, but I would rather play in limited than open. It seems to me that an almost out of the box limited gun would get adopted more quickly than one that needs a couple grand thrown in to it to make it useable in a division, that's all. I'm all for it as an open gun platform, just not for me.....yet. Well, Production shooters love the idea of the 9mm M&P 5".
  9. I'll be shooting Sat. eve/Sun. morning.
  10. 1 sec. 10 yard A hit is a good goal but it doesn't matter if your grip isn't good.
  11. I had an STI hardchromed by them and they did a great job.
  12. May I recommend that, here on the Enos forums, we change the term " hits the fan" to " hits the Roomba". Hey Paul, look at the bright side, at least your not a St. Bernard owner.

    Work or fun?

    The Commanding Officer of a Regiment in the U. S. Marine Corps was about to start the morning briefing to his Staff and Battalion and Company Commanders. While waiting for the coffee machine to finish its brewing, he decided to pose a question to all assembled. He explained that his wife had been a bit frisky the night before and he failed to get his usual amount of sound sleep. He posed the question of just how much of sex was 'work' and how much of it was 'pleasure?' The X.O. chimed in with 75-25% in favor of work. A Captain said it was 50-50%. The Colonel's Aide, a Lt., responded with 25-75% in favor of pleasure, depending on his state of inebriation at the time. There being no consensus, the Colonel turned to the PFC who was in charge of making the coffee. What was HIS opinion? With no hesitation, the young PFC responded, "Sir, it has to be 100% pleasure." The Colonel was surprised and, as you might guess, asked why? "Well, Sir, began the PFC, "if there was any work involved, the officers would have me doing it for them."
  14. The statements at the end of the movie: Spoiler alert: Same thing different purpose/intent. Sometimes in life you have to fight fire with fire.

    Tom Cruise...

    I agree 100% that everyone is entitled to thier beliefs. I believe that Tom Cruise is a F@#$ing Nut-job.
  16. The BATF will figure out a way to ban it.
  17. We gave up our control of the Gov. so now they control us. Our lackadaisical, submissive attitudes towards the whole issue has gotten us what we deserve. They've chipped away slowly enough that we've arrived where we are and now it will be very difficult to change it without something extremely drastic taking place. I'm sad for my childrens future.
  18. Checking the classiification update today I fully expected my 'A' card at a 76% (Production) but NOOOOOOOO! Due too some I.T. issues an 87.****% didn't get posted. Could be worse though; My shooting buddy missed his GM card due to this same issue. This sucks!! I wanted to shoot the Fl. Open as an 'A' class.
  19. Which ever I feel gives me the best economy of motion for the stage in its' entirety. If the most difficult shot will allow me to exit my position faster by taking it first then that's what I do and visa/versa. Also; I never understood the whole "exit on steel" debate. Deductive reasoning tells me that I would rather begin an exit missing steel and realize it, return/stop/pause or whatever and re-engage it than exit missing paper and not know it and get a miss. The pause/hesitation usually doesn't cost as much as a miss.
  20. Stage prep until you don't have to think about where you need to go. I see points of hesitation where it looks like you are thinking of where you need to go next (Rounding the wall in the stage 1 video for example). A lot of stage prep will smooth you out quite a bit. Gun handling looked good but you could have broken out and began your reload and movement alot sooner in the stage two video. I practice this quite a bit in dry-fire. Stage one you could have swept the targets left to right and backed yourself out of your position which tends to be smoother than shooting towards an advancing vision barrier (Engadge the target you'll lose sight of first).
  21. I really liked it alot but found quite a bit not explained like, what was the stuff in the bottle that he squirted on the stairs and his jacket?
