  1. This idea sounds cool, and I agree, 2-3 people would be fine if we adhere to the IPSC stage design ratio of 3 short, 2 medium, and 1 long. USPSA is already biased towards long courses (using the IPSC definition) and these stages will be "elaborate" & "complex." I'm still looking forward to the match, and hope He/it is successful.
  2. I'm grateful to Ken and the team for this and previous matches, and the idea is interesting. I also have some concerns... Let's assume 500 shooters will be shooting the "main" 4-day match. If so, 250 shooters will be not be shooting at any given time. The one requisite half-day (at full attendance) will leave 25% of that 250 (62.5 people) on the range helping. Spread across 20 stages, that will be 3.125 re-setters per stage...doing the work of 7-10 people. I anticipate squads will either have to help, as normal, or incur delays. If stages are "more elaborate" than normal, it could further exacerbate the re-setting issue. Per Ken: "This is about reducing total work (48 resets versus 140)" If one re-setter is truly doing the work of 3, isn't it the same amount of taping? As a competitor, if stages have more complexity as to require re-set time to be used for stage planning, the first few shooters are going to be at a serious disadvantage. I also highly suspect that the vast majority of shooters will prefer to reset after they shoot for the day, not before. Because of this, many shooters will be forced to shoot after re-setting the stages for other shooters for 4 hours in heat, hail (2014), etc. I think that Rob Leatham and his two artificial knees will perform worse, if he spends the first half of his day crouching and re-setting steel. This seems like an idea to try at an area match rather than Nationals? Or am I missing something?
  3. ~50k on a 9 pro. Same as some others here, my barrel was shot out @ 20-25k, but it didn't group that well to begin with. Everything else hase been preventative. A second gun is a nice to have, but not something you must have initially.
  4. What oal are you loading those 147 Precision moly's to? 1.115...And the Montana Gold's are at 1.150.
