Welcome. Custer holds a great match. Unfortunately I missed today's match, but I usually shoot there. If you get bitten by the bug, Marysville, Puyallup, and Renton all have matches every month as well.
I have the regular site working on my phone now. While in the internet browser I went to settings and then there is a checkbox next to "mobile view" I unchecked this and now everything is back to the way it was.
I made the mistake of not getting enough (3-4 hours) sleep two nights in a row last week for our sectional match. I felt sluggish and my times showed. I still won my class, but I feel I would have probably come in 3rd or 4th overall in production had I been as fast/alert as I should have been.
Today I decided to skip a match because it is a 2 1/2 hour drive and I would have only gotten about 4 hours sleep. I decided it wasn't worth spending $100 + for ammo, match fee, and gas just to be exhausted all day.
The match was fantastic. Tim, the RO's, and all the staff were great.
As a fairly new shooter at my first major match I couldn't have felt more welcomed by all the staff and shooters.
I have a dumb question. I am coming into town friday night, but after registration has closed at the range. If I shoot at 07:30 on Saturday can I still register at 07:00 that morning? I know that isn't ideal.
I picked up some Under Armor football cleats for around $30 and have been very happy with them. I think the style is called Hammers. I have shot a handful of matches with thewm and many range sessions. They work well in sand, dirt, and a gravel dirt mix.
I go for at least 135 PF in my production loads. I like this PF as a safety buffer. I have loaded to 120 PF to 140PF in my Glock 34 using 147's, the difference in feel is marginal at most.
I use Titegroup in my 550 and it is very consistent. Any chance that something binding in the powder throw bar? A moisture issue that has caused the powder to clump?
