  1. Thanks for the information. I will be in the area and would love to squeeze in a match.

    OAL 40sw

    I am in the 1.185 - 1.190 range out of an STI SS and a SV Limited Gun.
  3. I'll be in Floral City, Florida 34436 on September the 26-27th. Does anyone know of a club or clubs in the area (whit-in 40-50 miles) that will be holding a match on those dates?
  4. I don’t think that it is a matter of not caring. I believe it is about not having expectations and being in the moment as a constant progression of time. When the RO says ‘make ready’ I am focused mentally, but not on anything in particular. I go to a quiet place and wait for the buzzer. I do not think about going fast or getting A’s. It is like I am in a heightened state of nothingness. To me this is similar to running big drops when paddling whitewater (another past time for me and Singlestack). Before running a major drop (waterfall or rapid) we would stop above the drop, walk down to the bottom and look at the potential routes, traps and possible carnage. Once we were committed to running the rapid and had determined a route. It was programmed in our minds. We then had to go back to the top of the drop, get in our boats, and push every possible notion of fear or failure out of our minds (find the quiet place). As it becomes your turn to make your run, you have to mentally focus on success and make your moves without hesitation or doubt or you would fail. Failing in class V whitewater means that you could be stranded in the middle of nowhere, you will probably get hurt, or at the very worst, you might die. It’s a long way to get there, but the point being mentally, I think the mindset is the same. The mind had to be clear to succeed; no doubt only action. Push too hard and you miss you line, if you don’t push hard enough you get trashed and possibly put your buddies at risk trying to get your ass out of trouble. It was necessary to be aware and quick, but not rushed or in at state of panic. A human being cannot fight water that is moving 1200+ feet per second. You have to be one with it, execute to your ability and use its power to your advantage to succeed. Look at the stage Have a plan Prepare for your turn Find your quiet place Beep Execute in the moment Unload and show clear Give yourself a high-five if no one else will because you just kicked their ass
  5. That's one bada$$ GA shooter! Way to go Rob, you rock!
  6. Happy Birthday to all and many more!
  7. As stated above, remove the target for now. Go stand in a bay, focus on your front sight and shoot at nothing. Really focus on seeing the sight. Be able to tell someone else or yourself what it did. Did it track straight up and down, up, right down? Just try to watch the front sight until you are sure you are seeing what it is doing through several shots.
  8. I find that I am at my best when I am the casual observer of my own performance. If I look too closely or talk too much about it, the magic slips away, leaving me with only what I think I can do.
  9. Shooting from Within: A Guide to Maximum Performance J. Michael Plaxco This book rocks and is all about the fundamentals.
  10. I ran 1000 through my XD 9mm without any issues.
  11. I have used them for years too and I have never had that happen. Hopefully they will replace it. Good Luck
  12. I don't know if hoard is the right word, but... Brass, Mags, Drill bits and assorted containers
  13. OMG - Powder Valley has some primers! They have Wolf LPP and SRP as well as others. No Win or Fed, but still...
  14. That is not a bad idea. I have a .22 rifle that I bought a while back. When I bought it, it had a cheap scope on it and no rear sight. I ordered a new rear sight but, it seems the dovetail was damaged when the original sight was removed. This might be the perfect hillbilly fix for that little plinker.
  15. I got the same message. I called them and told them to keep the order and ship it when they could. I placed to order back in the beginning of June and it keeps getting pushed out.
  16. I had a similar experience. I like the 125s over the 147s. The 125s are cheaper and seemed to be a little more accurate. The recoil difference was negligible.
  17. Hornady One Shot Case Lube rocks and makes the press run so much smoother.

    I received my 9mm bullets today. I will check a random sample and see what I find.
  19. Congrats Brother! Good shooting.
  20. Talk about the match that keeps on giving… I won this beauty in the raffle before the match! EAGC has created a whole new rage in the sporting world. Torn between your love of fishing and shooting? Well, no more. When the fish aren’t biting, just settle in for a little practice session with the ol’ limited caster, I mean blaster! That 5lb large mouth will never even know what hit ‘em! Thanks for more fun than one person should be allowed to enjoy!
  21. I shot the accuracy portion of the side match; shooting and igniting the .22 cartridge on my 6th shot. Boz crosses the T's, TM dots the I's, Mark and John watch our back.
  22. Great job to every one involved. Fantastic stages! I know I had a blast too. Two thumbs up EAGC! Thanks for another great match. Thanks to all of the sponsors and others who donated prizes for the raffle. Additional thanks for those who worked the side matches in the scorching heat. You guys and gals are doing a fine job at EAGC keep up the excellent work. It was a great day among family and friends thanks to everyone.
  23. Great, now the 6 year old kids are going to kick my butt too! Very cool video, but I agree with Boz: I wonder if some one that young understands consequences of a mistake....
  24. Yea, I think I am 20 somtimes too. Usually the next day I am in a lot of pain.
  25. Looky here The newbie wants to jump in and talk smack with the Big Boys. I tell ya what fattop, as soon as you get your video clips down to 1/3 longer than everyonelse's (instead of 2 or 3 times as long) we will let you play. Until then, shush, watch and learn. Did he say, 'Fattop'??? That's just wrong.
